Charles Bargue and Jean-L?on G?r?me: Drawing Course by Gerald M. Ackerman (Author), Graydon Parrish (Author)? ? My fifth book recommendation for anyone out there wanting to learn how to draw a figure. So many famous artists ( Picasso, Van Gogh to name a few ) have completed this course. All ateliers from past to present use these plates as the first academic exercise to train the artists’ eye in the first year. Think of these drawing exercises like practicing your scales.? Graydon Parrish one of the authors has taught @grandcentralatelier and knows a thing or two about classical painting? ? #artbooks #learntodraw #learntopaint #mygoto#lbestartbooks? fletchersibthorp.com
