中文简介：

《初学者画室》由知名艺术家和艺术教学作者朱丽叶·阿里斯蒂德（Juliette Aristides）撰写，在当代具象艺术界几乎拥有摇滚明星般的人气，以其独特的工作簿/素描簿方法和高质量的纸张，为传统的画室艺术教学实践提供了全面的现代改造。

画室教育的核心理念是：在画室工作，而不是坐在讲堂里，画室是学习艺术的理想场所。每个艺术家都需要学习基本的绘画技巧。

在这本优雅而鼓舞人心的工作手册中，朱丽叶·阿里斯蒂德将绘画过程分解成小的、易于管理的课程；循序渐进地介绍这些课程；介绍画室传统中经过时间考验的原则和技术，这些原则和技术很容易理解；并分享理解艺术过程和创作卓越、精心制作的绘画所需的语言和背景。这种方法的独特之处在于，每节课中都包含空白页供人临摹和练习，便于采用传统的画室方法。

画室培养了伟大的艺术家，现在这种教育模式正在复兴。这些画室回归古典艺术训练，以 19 世纪的教学模式为基础，在几年内将艺术家与艺术大师配对。学生们从临摹大师作品开始，然后随着技能的发展，逐渐发展到绘画。本书就像是一个画室，而大师就是朱丽叶·阿里斯蒂德，一位受过古典训练的艺术家。在每一页中，阿里斯蒂德都使用了古代大师和当今备受尊敬的现实主义艺术家的作品来演示和教授现实主义绘画的原则，带领学生一步一步地学习，同时允许他们按照自己的节奏工作。这本新书中的方法独特而富有启发性，为严肃的艺术学生提供了严肃的艺术课程。

英文简介：

Written by a well-known artist and best-selling art-instruction author with almost rock-star popularity in the contemporary world of representational art, Beginning Drawing Atelier, with its unique workbook/sketchbook approach, and high-quality paper, offers a comprehensive and contemporary twist on traditional Atelier art instruction practices.

Atelier education is centered on the belief that working in a studio, not sitting in the lecture hall, is the best place to learn about art. Every artist needs to learn basic drawing skills.

In this elegant and inspiring workbook, master contemporary artist and best selling author Juliette Aristides breaks down the drawing process into small, manageable lessons; presents them progressively; introduces time-tested principles and techniques in the Atelier tradition that are easily accessible; and shares the language and context necessary to understand the artistic process and create superior, well-crafted drawings. What makes this approach unique is the fact that it includes blank pages for copying and practicing within each lesson, facilitating traditional Atelier methods.

Ateliers have produced the greatest artists of all time--and now that educational model is experiencing a renaissance. These studios, in 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. Beginning Drawing Atelier is like having an atelier in a book--and the master is Juliette Aristides, a classically trained artist. On every page, Aristides uses the 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, the approach in this new book offers serious art courses for serious art students.
