Zorn palette grid in Juliette Aristides’ book
GREAT RESOURCES
These books have a treasured place in my studio.
Alla Prima II Everything I Know about Painting and More
Alla Prima, this book offers to the artist and art lover alike the wisdom and technical savvy which comes from a classical education and a lifetime of painting and teaching. Writing as an acknowledged master, Richard gracefully leads his reader through the subtleties of painting theory and technique with refreshing directness and unmatched technical authority. With an emphasis on painting from life, he writes with warm humor about the joys and trials of being an artist. He brings to life the romance of Bravura painting and examines the mysteries of color in fascinating detail.
Lessons in Classical Painting: Essential Techniques from Inside the Atelier
Lessons in Classical Painting presents aspiring artists with the fundamental skills and tools needed to master painting in the atelier style. With more than 25 years of experience in ateliers and as an art instructor, Aristides pairs personal examples and insights with theory, assignments and demonstrations for readers, discussions of technical issues, and inspirational quotes.
The Art of Still Life
The Art of Still Life offers a comprehensive, contemporary approach to the subject that instructs artists on the foundation basics and advanced techniques they need for successful drawing and painting. In addition to Casey’s stunning paintings, the work of over fifty past and present masters is included, so that the book is both a hardworking how-to manual and a visual treasure trove of some of the finest still life art throughout history and today.
Totally agree with all you state about Juliette Aristides. I’m on her online Atelier program that is hosted on the Terraccotta platform and it is one of the best investments I’ve ever done. Juliette is a great artist and teacher, is a wonderful person and her books are on a par. Cannot recommend them enough, her two books on classical art are of gem quality and should be a sourse of knowledge and pride to every one who owns a copy.
