Magnifica novela. Extraña, sentida, poética y triste. Muy bien escrita. Hay que estar atentos a esta gran escritora

A great addition to anyone's art library, especially a person that is self-motivated and just needs a curriculum and guidance on what to practice.

Good information, and a beautiful book besides.

I like this book very much, though it wasn't quite was I was expecting when I placed my order. I thought it would be very much a hands-on, 'how to' book, and was briefly disappointed when I realised that it wasn't.

The disappointment faded when I realised that it was much more. In my video 'flick through' you'll see that the book is full of beautiful drawings. Just looking at some of them is an inspiration.

However, the bulk of the text in this book is to do with theory. The book has around 140 pages, and the series of 5 practical 'lessons' begins on page 124 - That should tell you something!

Here's a fuller idea of what to expect:

After a short summary of artistic training methods from early days up to the 21st century, the book launches into "Timeless principles". There's a chapter each on Design, Line, Value, and Form.

The chapters on Design and Line give a good idea of the book's approach. In the Design chapter, a lot of time and space is devoted to the 'Golden Ratio' (and spiral forms derived from it) in nature and art. Fascinating stuff if you've not encountered it before, and it may forever change the way you look at some old master paintings.

The chapter on Line relates not to the quality of the drawn line on the page, but rather to the 'unseen' lines which underlie a picture's composition. The following chapters on VALUE and FORM also mostly deal with theory, and while the book doesn't loose sight of how theory must eventually become practice, beginners may find themselves occasionally scratching their heads and wondering 'But why do I need to know all THIS stuff? I just want to learn to draw!'

The following section 'Timeless Subjects' devotes a chapter to each step of the classic atelier method: First, copying master drawings; then drawing sculpture; then the figure; and finally portraiture.

Then, in the short final section, we get five short lessons based on each of these: Drawing a sphere; copying master drawings; drawing a cast; a figure; a portrait.

To sum up, some of the people who buy this book will feel that it contains 'too much information'! I admit, that was my own first reaction. But really, unlike the step-by-step 'how-to' books, this is one that you'll keep going back to - and as you grow as an artist, you'll find more in it each time.

And on top of that, the drawings make it a beautiful book just to open and browse!

Kindle edition well fit for purpose

I read reviews to determine if the Kindle edition of this book (which is much less expensive than the hardback) would be worthwhile and found no guidance. I gambled on it, and I’m glad I did.

This is not primarily an instructional guide or workbook. It's value is in the reflective prose text and the illustrations. The latter come out perfectly well on a suitable device (one that deals with full-spectrum colour illustrations: it works on my IPad mini, not my badic Kindle). This is one art book I really don’t think you have to have in hardcopy. (I do think it would be best to have some of her other books in hardcopy.)

The content is stimulating, informative and inspiring, as long as you don’t expect it to be an instructional art book along the lines of ‘see, you can draw a cat: two circles for the body and two triangles for the ears. Hey presto!’

I own all of Juliette Aristides books Classical Drawing Atelier, Classical Painting Atelier, Lessons in Classical Drawing and Lessons in Classical Painting. After spending ten years studying design, I have yet to find any books that are better than this series, and for those that want to learn more about the atelier movement and classical art training, you won't' find a more qualified teacher than Juliette Aristides. Because of the Modern Art movement of the 20th century, most of this information was lost. However, because of artists like Juliette Aristides, Myron Barnstone, Dot Bunn, Gwendolyn Stine, and many other highly skilled artists, this information is finally being revived. Additionally, for those that want to learn more about Dynamic Symmetry, I recommend purchasing the books Classical Drawing Atelier and Classical Painting Atelier. Juliette talks about the golden section and design using the 14 line armature of the rectangle as well as all the root rectangles.

review

I first saw this book briefly in a bookshop and thought it was a revelation. I then read some of the reviews about this book and doubted my initial thoughts. I went ahead and ordered this book and haven't been disappointed. If you want a how to draw book, then this isnt for you. I already have lots of this type of book, from the very basic to the more advanced, but wanted more theory, more explantaiton as to how the great masters created their work. This book is full of lost secrects, and by taking the time to study and read it, I feel it has broadened my understanding and re-ignited my enthusiasm. Whilst I cannot devote the time to studying for four years five hours a day, I believe the only way to improve is to draw, draw and then draw some more using the techniques suggested in this book. If you don't want this depth of theory, the drawings alone are beautiful, and well worth the money. Other books might give you more instruction, but in the end, the only way to improve your skills is to practice, and this book certainly inspired me.

Classical Drawing Atelier: A Contemporary Guide to Traditional Studio Practice

As with the other books in this series ( all of which I have read) it is presented to a high standard. It is thoroughly researched. Each chapter is carefully narrated. You will learn an immeasurable amount as you work your way through the book. Like the other books that Juliette Aristides has authored I am of the view that this book will be of greater benefit to someone who has been drawing and or painting for a while. Such a person will have experienced some of the issues that arise in doing art and the book will give perspective to and invaluable assistance to such a person. It may appear more academic and not so interesting to someone who is picking up a pencil or paint brush for the first time. Reading these books caused me to reflect on maybe travelling to the art school Juliette Aristides teaches at just to experience first hand her ideas and skills. I highly recommend this book and the other books for someone who is an artist and wants to understand more of the traditional school of realism. This book is hard back and great value. It is a good reference book to keep on the shelf after reading it.

If you are studying or interested in perceptual figure drawing this is well worth the money. Also makes a lovey coffee table book.

The Juliette Aristides's book Review

Revisado en los Estados Unidos 🇺🇸 el 4 de marzo de 2010

Compra verificada

I've been drawing now for about 2 years (classical drawing) And the most difficult thing for me was to find a book that would show me the direction to take in figure drawing. Juliette Aristide's book was one of the most beautiful and useful books that I've ever had in my life. There are a lot of pictures, a lot of information and explanations. It really shows you what it is to draw a classical figure and it explains many kind of things in the art of drawing, light, shadow, form, etc. If you are really looking for improving your artwork, I would recommend you this book. There is nothing else in this book but the chance to learn a few tricks that would change completely the way you used to draw. Of course, the book doesn't come with the desire for art or the patience. But with perseverance I know this book will become one of your favorites in your book collection.
