Product Description:
Students of art hailed Classical Drawing Atelier, Juliette Aristides’s first book, as a dynamic return to the atelier educational model. Ateliers, popular in the nineteenth century, teach emerging artists by pairing them with a master artist over a period of years. The educational process begins as students copy masterworks, then gradually progress to painting as their skills develop. The many artists at every level who learned from Classical Drawing Atelier have been clamoring for more of this sophisticated approach to teaching and learning. In Classical Painting Atelier, Aristides, a leader in the atelier movement, takes students step-by-step through the finest works of Old Masters and today’s most respected realist artists to reveal the principles of creating full-color realist still lifes, portraits, and figure paintings. Rich in tradition, yet practical for today’s artists, Classical Painting Atelier is ideal for serious art students seeking a timeless visual education.

Rating:  - Excellent worthy of Examination
The language is a bit obstruse, but it is worth the buy.
The typeface is smaller than I am happy with and the tone of the
writing seems unnecessarily over intellectual from time to time. But

I wish she had SHOWN rather than merely written about these things. Most artists are visual learners.
I was distracted by the sharp criticism ... Read More

In my opinion this is an outstanding book that far exceeds many of the run of the mill How to art books on the market. It is very well written and covers in detail the classical methods of the Masters. What interested me the most was the detailed descriptions on the design principles of the Masters. Beginners as well as many experts who have not studied at an atelier can learn much by reading the book and doing the various lessons.
Rating: - Awsome
A beautiful and most informative and well written book. I would recommend it to look at or learn from.
Rating: - Classical Painting Atelier
This is the most inspiring art book I've purchased in a long time. Full of insights and observations and instruction, not to mention stunning high quality color images on every page. This book has introduced me to artists I hadn't heard of, namely Jacob Collins and especially Walter Murch whose atmospheric oil paintings of common and overlooked objects has encouraged me to paint the more common objects that fascinate me. I'm taking my time working through this delicious book - I also purchased Juliette Aristides ... Read More
