I started as an almost complete beginner with no formal training. Reading and practicing gave me the skills and techniques to progress very quickly. I had been trying to learn drawing for several years, using a variety of teaching sources (including a good course by The Great Courses). However, I hadn’t come across such a succinct and useful source until I started these books. See my attached photos an example of how I progressed since starting the books.

The books are extremely well written - witty, in-depth, personable, and thorough, with excellent examples throughout. There is also a fair bit of what I’d call philosophical writing about creating artwork, which helps to connect technique to the wider questions of making art. Ms. Aristides also discusses a lot of common problems and challenges that beginning artists encounter, and her ideas are very helpful. There’s a reason this book and Lessons in Classical Painting: Essential Techniques from Inside the Atelier are so highly reviewed! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Juliette Aristides best effort yet. *by R***R on March 19, 2012* I have two previous books by Juliette Aristides - both are overviews of painting and drawing (no easy task) this book focuses a little more on technique and specific exercises. The highlights:a. beautiful reproductions and well chosen examples of master drawings both from old masters and contemporary artists.b. insightful commentary. Although this is about technique - Aristides never loses sight of the 'big picture' (which by the way is an essential technique!)c. More in-depth surveys' of drawing techniques including master copying, rythmn and line.There is no substitute for an atelier and working with a master, but this book is as close as it comes.In her book "the creative habit" Twyla Tharp recounts a story of a master ballerina coming to a basic dance class and going through the 'basics' at the barre. She goes on to say that masters always practice and never lose site of the fundamentals. For that reason alone all artists, beginners and especially advanced artists, should have this on their bookshelves.There are a LOT of drawing books out there, but this is one of the best published in recent years. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Light: the push and pull of light and shadow that models all items we visualize *by B***R on October 12, 2018* Perhaps the best asic drawing insight sine “Drawing on the Left Side of Your Brain” br Betty Edwards yet not as in depth as the Text books of Columbia University Life Drawing guru Beverly Hale which if you can find you will pay. But the real one might be used with class notes but Hale was a master at showing how drawing is the basis for all painting and drawn media. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/120991923-lessons-in-classical-drawing-by-juliette-aristides-2012-01-07](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/120991923-lessons-in-classical-drawing-by-juliette-aristides-2012-01-07) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-14*
