Daniel Graves - Juliette Aristides Combo

For over 600 years, artists passed their techniques down to apprentices who would then become masters themselves. The new masters continued to pass along the knowledge and skill they had gained.

With each new master painter, the information improved because they added their personal touch from their own lifetime of learning.

Sadly, this effective tradition came to a sudden stop.

Why? Modernism arrived and took the world by storm!

Traditional-style painting was quickly shunned, pushed to the side, and declared irrelevant!

Thankfully, a small handful of very brave artists endured ridicule and unpopularity in a quest to keep these rare processes and techniques alive. One of those artists was Daniel Graves, founder of the Florence Academy of Art in Italy.

In fact, Daniel was one of the very few people who insisted on purity of technique to make certain his students understood every important detail.

Daniel is a purist who refuses to compromise on quality for something more convenient. For instance, he does not use paint in tubes because he cannot get the color and effect from tube paint that he gets from grinding his own pigments.

Daniel is one of the great masters of our time and this video course is a rare opportunity to study with him. These time-honored methods are beneficial to every artist, especially those who do not have time or financial resources to spend four or more years attending art school.
