Editorial Review:

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: 5 out of 5 stars - Awsome
A beautiful and most informative and well written book. I would recommend it to look at or learn from.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - 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 equally inspiring book 'Classical Drawing Atelier'. This is a vital addition to the serious artist's desk - don't leave it on the shelf!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A BOOK, WELL WORTH READING.........LONG OVER DUE.
WHAT CAN I SAY ,THAT HAS NOT BEEN SAID ALREADY. A FANTASTIC READ, AND SIMPLY EXPLAINED. A BOOK THAT YOU WILL WANT TO READ OVER AND OVER AGAIN.CLASSICAL AND YET INSPIRATIONAL TO ITS COVER.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Book!
The two things I got the most from the book were compositional theories, theories I didn't know existed but have proven to be very helpful, and direction for practice and study. With the exception of graphics training and a couple workshops, I'm self taught. Though I have had much success in both ability and sales I have always wondered what the old masters did to learn their craft and I think this book has shown me. As this book implies it is very sad that thousands of years of accumulated artistic knowledge and beauty was completely tossed out the window a hundred years ago in the name of so called liberation. I feel artists and our culture in general have been greatly deprived as a result. This book will hopefully help resurrect what we have lost and what was stolen from us.

In my opinion I still think the best book on the concepts of painting is Alla Prima by Richard Schmid, however Alla Prima does ... Read More
