"Delightfully elegant and rational, Beginning Drawing Atelier carries you through the rigors of learning how to draw, like a master, ever so gently. All five books by Juliette Aristides are treasures, but this is perhaps the most engaging and impactful in fostering visual literacy. It is a book to experience. By its last page, you will be left with a poetic sense of the world." - Milène J. Fernández, writer and contributor to theeepochtimes.com “I have met many thousands of artists over the last fifty years of painting and thirty-five years of making paint. Very rarely do I meet someone who is as good at writing as she is at her visual art. Juliette Aristides is one such person–both a terrific writer and great artist.” - Robert Gamblin, founder of Gamblin Artist Colors “There are few who know about classical painting like Juliette Aristides. The book is the next best thing to studying with her in person.” - B. Eric Rhoads, publisher of Fine Art Connoisseur and PleinAir magazines "Juliette Aristides, a leader in the revival of classical realism, outlines ways anyone can learn to draw - and why it's imperative for today's society.” - John Burger, writer and reporter.
