In the Studio with Lucas Graciano

Join us "In the Studio" of award-winning illustrator and Watts Atelier instructor Lucas Graciano.
Our new "In the Studio" series focuses on visiting artists in their workplace, giving our students a chance to see what goes on "behind the scenes," and learn what inspires our instructors and aids in their creative process.
Watts Atelier of the Arts is located in the quiet beach town of Encinitas, CA, 30 miles north of San Diego. The Atelier was founded by Jeffrey R. Watts in 1992 as an intimate studio environment. It is now operated by Mr. Watts, his wife and partner Krista, and a core of teachers predominately trained at the atelier. Watts Atelier has been modeled after the studio atelier of 19th century Europe. We at Watts Atelier believe the building a strong foundation of skills is the most important endeavor for any student.
With over 23 years experience teaching thousands of students at the Watts Atelier, Jeff Watts has prepared an unprecedented online program based on the traditions of the masters. Just like at the Atelier, students are strongly encouraged to build their skills in Drawing first, and then branch out into painting and Master classes.
Online memberships start at $99 per month and include pass/fail critiques. Visit www.WattsAtelier.com to learn more about Watts Atelier and Watts Atelier Online. Free Trial of Watts Atelier Online:

Anyone who is interested in being a professional artist should know about this channel. This kind of in-depth knowledge is just a rarity now-a-days. I've learned more useful information from this channel than the 2 years I've been at college. Great stuff.

[@notmyname3487]

I agree wholeheartedly, I learned more about art from being bored to death in other classes and just doodling on everything; I even came up with a name for the band I didn't form yet.

[@HajraMeeks]

both lucas and jeff are so likable, seem like such top notch, nice guys--thanks for sharing this lovely studio!

[@BobGreeneCreates]

Thank you for the tour of your studio Lucas! It’s always a great pleasure to see how an artist designs his working environment. And thank you so much to Jeff, Robert, Lucas, and all the other great Watts instructors for making the high-quality videos, I’ve been enjoying the online program for a few months now and I’m starting to build so many new skill sets. This program is exactly what I’ve been looking for.

[@linzertube]

Great video. I'm really thankful to have learned about Kim Jung-Gi.

[@prestonowens4594]

Was the red book a Kim Jung Gi sketchbook? Man, I wish I could afford one. He's one of my favorite living artists.

[@dokdeph]

Does anyone know what type of sketchbook he's drawing in? I've been looking for a toned sketchbook with dimensions similar to that.

[@Michaelhinesart]

[@kingrave305]

Does anyone know what tone tan paper sketch book he used to draw on. i love tone paper!!!!

[@CapitalRev]

This may be a completely idiotic question, but how does one transfer the contents of a huge board to electronic medium?

[@RubbinRobbin]

CapitalRev never underestimate the power of a decent cell phone camera

[@michaelvaughan2986]

where can I get that book, golden age masterworks from the golden age of illustration?

[@dragonfist777]

Michael Vaughan You may want to look here : www.illustration-magazine.com/. I hope this helps.

[@michaelvaughan2986]

dragonfist777 Thanks! Looks good.

[@guidolenzi2738]

I would pay a monthly subscription just for a "sketching phase" on toned paper ;)

[@janiylonen1382]

Thank you

[@robertjohannnewton7489]

I like the concept behind this idea, but the graphic promoting this was much more visually exciting than the actual video. I'm sure they will improve as you develop the content so keep up the good work. I'd like to see more art and more books.

[@Batsu2005]

what is a"comp" and a "mockette"??

[@jsmney]

+Chris Baker comp = composition, maquette - small sculpture or scale model.

[@Batsu2005]
