Ateliers have produced the greatest artists of all time - and now
that educational model is experiencing a renaissance. These are
based on the nineteenth-century model of teaching artists by
pairing them with a master artist over a period of years.
"Classical Drawing Atelier" is an atelier in a book - and the
master is Juliette Aristides, a classically trained artist.
Aristides uses the works of works of Old Masters and today's most
respected realist artists to demonstrate and 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. Juliette Aristides,
whose beautiful art is featured throughout this book, is the
founder and director of the Classical Atelier at the Seattle
Academy of Fine Arts. She studied with realist master Jacob Collins
and at the National Academy of Design.
Over the centuries, landscape painting has attracted countless
artists. Its diversity, enhanced by the weather, special lighting
conditions and seasonal change, offers the painter an infinite
variety of subject matter. Oils are an extremely versatile and
immediate medium, enabling artists to express themselves in a
variety of creative ways. They are relatively easy to use, suitable
for both the beginner and the more experienced painter.
