A Contemporary Guide to Traditional Studio Practice
By Juliette Aristides. Atelier studios are based on the nineteenth-century model of teaching artists by pairing them with a master artist over a period of years. Students begin by copying masterworks, then gradually progress to painting as their skills develop.
On every page of this book, Aristides uses the works of Old Masters and today's most respected artists to teach the principles of realist drawing and painting, taking students step-by-step through the learning curve, yet allowing them to work at their own pace. Unique and inspiring, Classical Drawing Atelier is a serious art course for serious art students.
