I've become increasingly interested in Neoclassicism and Romanticism, and the academic drawing and painting produced within these movements. So I've set out to learn more about nineteenth-century art education and studio practice influenced by the European academies of art. This led me to the Charles Bargue and Jean-Leon Gérôme DRAWING COURSE.
I plan to do some plates as time permits. I'll post my drawings as I complete them. My goal is to finish Part 1, the casts, then see if I want to do Part 2. This may also be a sort of journal on process. We'll see.
