Cast Drawing Using the Sight-Size Approach
Product Description The first book of its kind, Cast Drawing Using the Sight-Size Approach teaches the student a systematic way to meet the challenges of drawing. Traditionally taught in classical art ateliers, Sight-Size is an approach to drawing and painting from life. It is through cast drawing that the basics of Sight-Size are learned. This approach is readily adaptable to other disciplines such as portraiture, still life, interiors, landscape and figurative painting. For more information about other books in the Sight-Size Library as well as instructional DVD's and Sight-Size in general please direct your web browser to www.Sight-Size.com.

Reader Reviews This book saved us! My husband and I obtained the "Charles Bargue Drawing Course" from the Dahesh as soon as it became available. While the Charles Bargue Drawing Course has a section on suggestions for copying plates, it is simply not designed for someone without any formal training or professional guidance. Unfortunately, wonderful as the Charles Bargue plates are, they were useless to us without training. Since then, we have purchased many products looking for the skills to reproduce the plates. We were able to make some progress learning other sizing techniques, but we were always looking for a way to learn the "sight-size approach". Constantly on the lookout for a way to learn sight-size outside an atelier, we only found instructions that were inadaquate for someone with no formal training. I can't tell you what a thrill it was for this book to pop up during one of my usual attempts at googling all things "cast drawing" and "sight-size". What a wonderful find this book is. Darren Rousar is a master teacher and made the whole process so simple and easy that we were amazed we had ever struggled. This book is inexpensive, to the point, and very useful. If you have searched high and low for a way to learn sight-size, your search is over and you have arrived. Everything you need to get started is right here. Good Luck! Comment | | (Report this)
