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; revealing the principles of creating full-colour realist still-life works, portraits and figure paintings. Classical Drawing Atelier should figure as an important document in the history of the contemporary atelier movement, but it doesn’t stake out a great deal of new ground, philosophically or art historically. There are cursory introductions to design principles, focusing on the Pythagorean idea of the Golden Ratio and the Fibonacci sequence in.

DOWNLOAD NOW »Ateliers have produced the greatest artists of all time—and now that educational model is experiencing a renaissance. These studios, a return to classical art training, 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. Classical Drawing Atelier is an atelier in a book—and the master is Juliette Aristides, a classically trained artist. On every page, 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. From the Hardcover edition.

I bought this book because I liked a book on classical drawing ('Classical Drawing Atelier - A complete course in traditional studio practice') by the same author. The book on drawing was actually very informative - not only did it cover theory of drawing and provide detailed examples for the various concepts/techniques, but it also had videos in which the author herself and other artists demonstrated those techniques. I was hoping something similar here, but no such luck.

Painting over the centuries has evolved from a craft using ground minerals with copying tools-- to a secretive art of methods on canvas -- through to today where there are many splinters and schools of thought using a wealth of digital and manual tools. There were very few good books describing painting methods until today's 'Atelier' movement. Ateliers provide 1-on-1 teaching much like that provided in historic guilds—the MOOCs of the art scene. Aristides describes how to paint with oil traditi...more

Classical Painting Atelier might be the best book about painting I've ever seen. It combines art history, technique, how-to, and inspiration, and manages to do all of those things extremely well. The text offers fairly in-depth descriptions and instruction of classical/traditional approaches and techniques, but is very readable and interesting, which isn't always true for a book like this. But even if you didn't read the text, every page has beautiful prints of paintings -- old masters side-by...more

This is the best book on technique available.
This one should be in any serious oil painter's reference collection.
Very good guide

This book is easily a favourite, coming as it does from the reaction to the impressionist and modernist developments in the history of art. The author's work returns to the classical foundations of drawing and painting of antiquity, with the boost they got from the Renascence period. This is what I should like to have studied, if I had ever gone to art school - clear and well-documented lessons in the science of drawing and painting, in the traditions of centuries of professionals. As it is, it...more

This book is quite okay. they have some good tips. When you read this book you find that you read more in dept about the classical techniques and period. The way they translated there views into the art they represented at that time. For example da Vinci, Michelangelo etc. There are two books in the serie.

The best book on Classical Atilier styles of Painting. It combines history and philosophical reasoning behind why this method is superior. I'm just a little peeved that the description for this book includes a reference to Pollock? Anyone who reads this will be far superior a craftsman that Pollack or Picaso ever were.
A very nice and comprehensive overview of the atelier system in it's relationship to painting. If one is thinking of atelier study, it would be good to read. If one likes art, it would be interesting. If one is an artist, you can glean some great insight from the great artwork and insightful written commentary.

One of the best instructional books I've come across. Well written, so it is a pleasure to read. She teaches through looking at historical and contemporary painting.
Amazing info and techniques
Juliette Aristide has put together a wonderful guide that mirrors the master she is. A fine artist's must have.
