Traditional classical painting

I would love to go back to school and study traditional classical painting at an Atelier.  I’ve reached a point in my career where I’ve finally grasped the expansiviness of art and realized that there is so much I don’t know and I’m eager to learn about everything.  There is such a broad range of ways to create art and when you go to a University to study it it is very easy to get lost in all the options.  So I studied drawing and sculpture in college, which I do not regret because it gave me a solid foundation for painting.  Once I finished college I wanted to paint and basically taught myself up to a level where I became complacent with my work and wanted to get more involved in the business of art.  (Now I feel like I’m telling you all my life’s story when this post ment to be about the lastest book I’m reading.) So I got into the business of art: doing shows, selling my work, promoting myself and now I’m learning again by reading, reading, reading.  I’ve always loved classical paintings and the works of the old masters such as Degas, Velasquez, and Michelangelo.  I’ve become so motivated by the book I’m reading by Juliette Aristides called Classical painting Atelier.  I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the traditional study of classical art.
