Ateliers have produced the greatest artists of all time—and now that educational model is experiencing a renaissance. These studios, a return to classical art training, are based on the nineteenth-century model of teaching artists by pairing them with a master artist over a period of years. Students begin by copying masterworks, then gradually progress to painting as their skills develop. Classical Drawing Atelier is an atelier in a book—and the master is Juliette Aristides, a classically trained artist. On every page, Aristides uses the works of works of Old Masters and today’ s most respected realist artists to demonstrate and teach the principles of realist drawing and painting, taking students step by step through the learning curve yet allowing them to work at their own pace. Unique and inspiring, Classical Drawing Atelier is a serious art course for serious art students.
Léon Bakst (1866–1924) started his artistic career as a magazine illustrator, but it was during his collaborations with the great Russian ballet impressario Serge Diaghilev and the founding of the Ballets Russes that he achieved his greatest successes. As a costume designer for the famed ballet company, Bakst created exotic robes, tunics, harem pants, and other lavish costumes incorporating bold color schemes. This exciting collection, sure to delight colorists and theater fans of all ages, includes 30 of the Asian-inspired designs for which Bakst was famous, among them costumes from The Firebird, Cléopâtre, and Schéhérazade. Captions identify characters and the ballets for which they were designed. Copies of the original designs can be produced by following the artist’s own color schemes, shown on the covers; or, budding artists can select hues from their own palettes to bring these dazzling costumes vividly to life.
