I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for sharing your knowledge and creating this workbook...and all your other books really:) I am currently working on your Figure Drawing Atelier and it's just as great!

Upon watching, I see how thourogh your lessons are, and the dearth of tuition I received in my lengthy education. I feel somewhat cheated, but at least elevated my skills several fold some years after leaving college. Hand on heart, I can say that I learned most from books.

@@AtticusStount Thank you so much for watching the video and for the comment. And yes....I totally agree that books have been my most significant resources when it comes to my artistic journeyr. This book is one of them:)

Juliette, I love your book also and purchased it as soon as it came out! I recently saw your KZfaq videos that you did for a few lessons that accompany the book and I am so happy to have those to show my students!! Would you possibly consider doing other videos to accompany your book? I have been looking for a resource like this (atelier book + video) for a long time!

Thank you so much 🤗

Thank you so much for watching the vid, and glad to hear it was a bit of a help in your decision🙂 The book really helped me get a solid foundation on drawing, and I always recommend her books to everyone. Best of luck!

Thanks for watching, Susan🤗 And I love Juliette's books as well. So helpful and inspiring and am continuously learning from them😀

Thanks for watching, Gina:) Glad this vid helped a bit. It really is a great workbook!

@@EmmyMW l am fine. All the best to you !

Thanks so much for watching, and it helps to have no shame😆

Thank you so much for watching! And LOL...I don't know if you meant that as a compliment but I'll take it. I love Picasso😁

Thank you so much! I am currently working on her Figure Drawing Atelier book and it's just as great!:) Her books are indeed among the best out there.

@@EmmyMW I'm mostly self taught myself, but I find that I want to improve my work and I regret that I knew nothing about ateliers back in the 80's, probably because there wasn't many around? I learned practically nothing taking art classes in college so I turned to books and that's when i really began to learn. I was lucky to discover Harold Speeds books early on, but like you mentioned in your review here, I felt intimidated by the exercises he presented in his books. I was nowhere near that level of accomplishment but something about them motivated me to believe in myself and push forward. I have purchased four of Juliette's books and find they are extremely well written and very informative. Definitely worth their price. I find them inspirational and are a great source for cultivating ones artistic outlook.

@@sketchartist1964 Thanks for sharing your experience. Being self-taught myself, it's always great to hear what others have done that did not involve formal art schooling.

That's a great question! I think it's both, but definitely having more confidence in drawing after doing the workbooks has had a bigger impact on my work.Doing the enveloping and such is something I will always include in drawing now, but the fact that I was able to do the exercises at all (even if sub par in some cases) has definitely made me realize I can keep pushing forward. Thank you so much for watching:)

@@EmmyMW Good luck.

Thank you!

Patsy Johnson It was something I never really thought of until this book!

Thank you soooo much for your comment! Truly appreciate it😭 And yes....I am completely self-taught. Aside from workbooks and books, I also use a lot of online classes and tutorials:) This is a lifetime journey for sure for so many of us🤗

First of all, thanks for stopping by my channel🤗 And as for recommendations, I did a video a few years back with recs for beginner artists. Here's the link:)kzfaq.info/get/bejne/grF_ms5n1MyZn4U.htmlsi=qwxKvEYU2V2DM1ti I still stand by these books, but if you are interested mainly in the classical method, I would suggest books like the Beginning Drawing Atelier which I showed above, and her other book Lessons in Classical Drawing. (I really think drawing is the most important part of learning. I also am a big fan of doing the Bargue studies. I believe you can even see some of the plates online for free! Hope this helps a bit:)

@EmmyMW Thank you so much for your recommendation, I'll start doing the bargues drawings for now because I found free plates on Google, when I have more money I'll invest in her books. I literally just started this month and I came across your channel. Thank you

Oh you're very welcome, Patrick! Good luck on your journey:) Doing the Bargue plates really helped me a lot in my drawing abilities. :)@@ToastyPatchey

Oh, you shouldn't be! She even said in the book that learning is the key and not perfection. Go for it:)

That’s a really good idea to do the exercises first on another sketchbook! You can rhenpractice a certain plate as much as you can!
