Reveals the principles of creating full-colour realist still-life works, portraits and figure paintings. This title is suitable for art students seeking a timeless visual education.

A companion volume to Lessons in Classical Drawing and an atelier in book form, Lessons in Classical Painting breaks down the foundational skills and techniques of painting in a format that is accessible and manageable for all readers. With the same direct, easy-to-follow approach of Juliette Aristides's previous books, 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. After taking a bird's eye look at painting as a whole, Aristides breaks down painting into big picture topics like grisaille, temperature, and color, demonstrating how these key subjects can be applied by all painters.

Ateliers have produced the greatest artists of all time. This book talks about the educational model based on the nineteenth-century model of teaching artists by pairing them with a master artist over a period of years. It uses the works of Old Masters and realist artists to demonstrate and teach the principles of realist drawing and painting.
