The Julien Drawing Course Dust Jacket Edition

$36.97

This book contains the complete collection of Julien drawings from Cours De Dessin & Cours Elementaire plus additional drawings. A great advancement for study after the Bargue Drawing Course. The Julien drawings have much more complex details and are more expressive. Take your drawing skill to another level by studying these fine art plates.

I totally support the point of view of French art teachers of the 19th century that fine art students need to study the rich traditions of the classical art.

French schools at that time advocated the following sequence of art education:

  • Drawing copies of classical art plates
  • Copying drawings by the Old Masters
  • Drawing classical casts – busts and figures
  • Drawing live models

The 20th century brought various “isms” into art, and many art students become disillusioned with art education as it is practiced today. Copying the Old Masters and studying their art is an important part of traditional art education.

Copying classical masterpieces will develop a proper artistic taste and style. I believe that thousands of fine art students will improve greatly from such exercises. These plates were created as a part of an intensive drawing course system designed by the late great draftsman, artist Bernard Romain Julien.
