Comments

JR: For a true artist, this book excites and recalls my design school days. Excellent information presented in an engaging way. Most books start with a brief equipment discussion followed by design basics. This one starts with background of Atelier and studio work followed in the next section with design principles with valid examples and technical discussion. Each section includes a lesson to allow application of the information presented. Serves as a refresher. Excellent publication. Good page design, text and paper quality and binding. I will be glad to have this in my library.

Dee Bee: Excellent book on painting and understanding how and the why of the masters paintings. 😀 and you can do it too.

gibsonfridge: It is beautifully done. A person has to read and really think about the paintings, it's not a fast, quick glance sort of book, but, a slow thinking, searching studying sort of book, it's an education in between the covers, a lifetime of information for serious artists.
Buy this Book and keep it handy while working. You need this book.

Kelly: Comprei com base nas avaliações e me arrependi, as obras escolhidas pela autora são terríveis, só retrataram nudez (inclusive de crianças) e morte, uma tristeza. Terminei de folhear o livro me sentindo mal, queria desver. Ainda decidindo se tento ler para ver se aprendo algo útil ou se me desfaço dele para não ter que passar essa experiência desagradável novamente.

Ale Paulin: Juliette Aristides es una artista americana, que ha dedicado gran parte de su vida a dar clases en su Atelier en los Estados Unidos. El primer libro que adquirí de ella fue el de Lesson in Atelier drawing. Después de estar todo un año con ese libro y hacer los ejercicios he adquirido este. El sustento de la secuencia en la enseñanza como aprendiz en un Atelier es el pilar de este libro. Expone teoría, historia del arte, ejercicios, ejemplos de pinturas de alumnos, análisis de pinturas de los grandes maestros. Sinceramente, recomiendo este libro a todo aquel que deseé comenzar el camino de la pintura. Mi recomendación es hacerse de los otros 3 libros que tiene ella; los de dibujo y el de lecciones de pintura.

J. Devin Coats: I love this book. But several pages in the kindle version are blank. Other than that I highly recommend Juliette's books if you can't attend an atelier for lessons.

Update: My Kindle issue was resolved. Very pleased by that. Upgrading my review now I have full access. One reason I love the book is because she gets you thinking. Sure she could simply write do this, then that....boring. Juliette teaches you to study, think, learn and see the world as an artist. By giving you works to consider she's making the student learn to see beyond the image. And learn how to learn from the masters. Their style, expertise and methods are all there, and she shows you how to read them and us it to create your own style.

Atlantic: Juliette Aristides has done it again. She has followed her first book titled Classical Drawing Atelier, with another book on painting. As in the case of the first book, she and the editors/publishers (Watson & Guptill) have created a beautiful book that not only provides helpful instruction, but it's simply beautiful as a work of art itself.

It's hard to keep this review short because there's a lot to discuss, but to start I'll admit that I'm biased. I'm thankful that Juliette has taken the time to write it and I hope it goes into its tenth printing in the next two years. The near death of classical painting and drawing at the hands of "modern" art would have been an incalculable loss for western society, but somehow, reason and knowledge remained in the minds of a few, and classical art survived. Many of us recognized all along that it has value and have rejected the alternative, but the pressure to conform to creating the ephemeral and inferior art that society desired was too strong for many. This stunning volume confirms that classical art is coming back and Juliette has helped that process.

The book comprises four parts and nine chapters: Part 1) The Artists...
