Juliette Aristides


Two good instructional art books by Juliette Aristides that are a pleasure to read:



These instructional books which emphasize classical techniques using examples from the old masters and contemporary realists, are quite well written. I would recommend them to anyone who is a student of drawing or painting. I bought the painting one a few months back, and just checked the drawing one out from the library. In my opinion, the painting one (which is Aristide's most recent) is superior, but both are excellent. She reminds us that the history of art is always today's artists' greatest resource.
