By Jane Freeman
This book
approaches painting in a traditional manner with an extreme sensitivity
to light and texture. 15 demonstrations (4 complete painting demos, 11
short technique demos) show how to master essential techniques and paint
a variety of textures (crystal, flowers, fruit, lace, silver, rusted
metal, wood, fabric, hair) in various lighting situations. 10 full-page
sidebars interview 10 popular artists who paint light offering the
reader various perspectives and approaches to the topic. The book
includes advice for setting up still lifes, shooting reference photos,
composing light and shadow for stronger impact, altering and
exaggerating color, reproducing dramatic lighting effects, and working
without the hassle of masking fluid. Plus, the book devotes an entire
chapter to an often neglected topic: backgrounds and how they can
support your subject and enhance your painting.

palettes, and painting surfaces the acrylic painter ought to have. To

also offers a lesson on basic color relationships, illustrated with a
color wheel he has devised for acrylics. From there he thoroughly

A Contemporary Master Shows How to Achieve Old Master Effects Using Today's Art Materials
by Jane Jones
Paperback 144 pages, 50 black and white illustrations, 200 color illustrations
Classic Still Life Painting
shows artists how to create paintings of sparkling brilliance and
jewel-like color that look like they have been lit from within-just
like the exquisite paintings of the Renaissance masters of the 16th and
17th centuries. Artists learn techniques similar to those used by
Rembrandt, Raphael, Rubens, and other master painters of the past,
including using glazing with colors over a subtle underpainting of
tones to achieve the effect of sunlight passing through stained glass.
Through the advent of fast drying mediums artists learn that they will
be able to achieve the same richness and luminosity found in the works
of the old masters.

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.

Want to paint more like Manet and less like Jackson Pollock? Students of art hailed Classical Drawing Atelier, Juliette Aristides’s first book, as a dynamic return to the atelier educational model. Ateliers, popular in the nineteenth century, teach emerging artists by pairing them with a master artist over a period of years. The educational process begins as students copy masterworks, then gradually progress to painting as their skills develop. The many artists at every level who learned from Classical Drawing Atelier have been clamoring for more of this sophisticated approach to teaching and learning. In Classical Painting Atelier, Aristides, a leader in the atelier movement, takes students step-by-step through the finest works of Old Masters and today’s most respected realist artists to reveal the principles of creating full-color realist still lifes, portraits, and figure paintings. Rich in tradition, yet practical for today’s artists, Classical Painting Atelier is ideal for serious art students seeking a timeless visual education.

by Stephen Quiller
Internationally renowned artist and best selling author Stephen Quiller
shows readers how to discover their own personal "color sense" in Color
Choices, a book that offers readers a fresh perspective on
perfecting their own color styles.
With the help of his own
"Quiller Wheel," a special foldout wheel featuring 68 precisely placed
colors, the author shows artists how they can develop their own unique
color blends. First, Quiller demonstrates how to use the wheel to
interpret color relationships and mix colors more clearly. Then he
explains, step by step, how to develop five structured color schemes,
apply underlays and overlays, and use color in striking, unusual ways.
This book will bring out every artist's unique sense of color whether he
or she works in oil, watercolor, acrylics, gouache, or casein.
