The Full Master Set. Six historic drawing courses, 1,051 plates, restored and ready to print at A3.
Bargue, Reverdin, Calame, Ducollet and Julien, plus an extensive Roman sculpture collection — 1,051 plates gathered, cleaned and organized into one complete archive. Every course. No gaps to fill in later.
You already know Bargue, Reverdin and Calame. The wider tradition goes much further.
Dear artist,
The three courses most artists find first — Bargue, Reverdin and Calame — are only part of the historic academic drawing curriculum.
Ducollet, Julien and the Roman sculpture studies extend that same rigorous training into new heads, new casts and the concentrated study of classical form. Most artists never see this material because it is scattered, poorly reproduced, or simply unknown outside specialist circles.
The Full Master Set brings all six courses together as one archive: gathered, cleaned, organized and prepared for A3 printing, so you can move from one course to the next without hunting for the missing pieces.
This is the complete curriculum — everything, in one place, for artists who don't want to stop after three courses.
The difference between having the image and being able to study from it
Depending on the source, preparation may include cleaning the background, correcting page alignment, balancing tonal range and rebuilding a usable margin — never redrawing the plate or inventing lost information. The same standard applies across all six collections.
The Full Master Set turns the entire historic curriculum into one coherent drawing library you can actually use.
Six collections. One complete archive.
Bargue Collection
The gateway into academic plate study. Controlled problems of proportion, contour, value and edge, gathered as individual high-resolution files.
Reverdin Collection
A second major academic system, organized as its own course rather than dispersed across unrelated folders.
Calame Collection
Landscape studies: trees, rocks, rural architecture and finished compositions — a progression from natural form to pictorial structure.
Ducollet Collection
New heads, figures and formal problems that expand the range of academic examples beyond the familiar plates.
Julien Collection
A distinct course of academic drawing plates that can be followed independently or used to extend the figure and sculpture work.
Roman Sculpture Collection
Classical heads and busts prepared for close observation — proportion, contour, plane and light with no colour to distract the eye, including the Giustiniani collection.
