sight-size method.

Illusion Training

Another traditional method incorporates the use of illusions and is most often taught in conjunction with advanced compositional theory. The artist that creates illusions to fool the viewer into believing an image is accurate, need not copy exactly what is seen. This allows the artist to experiment with many options and retain what appears to be a realistic image. Rather than mimic a single style, artist skilled at the use of multiple illusions often study the technical execution and compositions of a wide variety of old masters This allows each student to pursue their own individual vision. Students of these ateliers exhibit a wide range of personal styles and increasing amounts of creative experimentation.

The Atelier of Léon Bonnat (1846-1855), one of the more liberal instructors, stressed simplicity in art above high academic finish, as well as overall effect rather than detail. Bonnat's students exhibited a wide range of styles and included: Gustave Caillebotte, Suzor-Coté, Georges Braque, Thomas Eakins, Raoul Dufy, Marius Vasselon, Fred Barnard, Aloysius O'Kelly, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.[2]

Although individual students study a wide range of old masters, many study the painting techniques and compositional skills of the High Renaissance, Mannerist and Baroque styles, including Michelangelo, Raphael and Leonardo da Vinci, Titian, Rubens, El Greco.

-Sight-Size is a method of drawing and painting an object exactly as it appears to the artist on a one to one scale. The artist first sets a vantage point where the subject and the drawing surface appear to be the same size. Then, using a variety of measuring tools -- which can include strings, sticks, [[mirrors]], [[Spirit level|levels]], and [[plumb-bob]]s -- the artist draws the subject so that, when viewed from the set vantage point, the drawing and the subject have exactly the same [[dimensions]]. When properly done, sight-size drawing can result in extremely accurate and realistic drawings. It can also be used to draw the exact dimensions for a [[subject]] in preparation for a painting.
-Contemporary realist painter Adrian Gottlieb notes that "while professional painters pursuing a full-time career will develop an 'eye' that precludes the need for measuring devices and plumb lines (tools necessary during the training period), the observation method itself is not abandoned - instead it becomes second nature.  Sight-size can be taught and applied in conjunction with a particular sensitivity to gesture to create life-like imagery; especially when applied to portraiture and figurative works."
+==Illusion Training==
-Darren R. Rousar, former student of Richard Lack and Charles Cecil as well as the author of ''Cast Drawing Using the Sight-Size Approach'', agrees and defines measuring in broad terms. He says that "a fully trained artist who uses Sight-size might never use a plumb line or even consciously think about literal measuring. He or she will strive toward achieving the same retinal impression in the painting as is seen in nature."<ref>[http://www.sightsize.com/misconceptions.html "Sight-Size Misconceptions"], sightsize.com.

+Another traditional method incorporates the use of '''illusions''' and is most often taught in conjunction with advanced compositional theory. The  artist that creates illusions to fool the viewer into believing an image is accurate, need not copy exactly what is seen. This allows the artist to experiment with many options and retain what appears to be a realistic image.
-Accuracy based methods often favor the appearance the sculpture from classical antiquity, a Neoclassical painting or modern near photorealism following truth
-== Comparative Measurement==
-The '''comparative measurement''' method requires proportional accuracy, but allows the artist to vary the size of the image created. This technique broadly encompasses any method of drawing that involves making measurements primarily using the naked eye. In the early training period students may be aided by a pencil, brush or plumb line to make comparisons, but there is no transfer of 1:1 measurements from subject directly to paper.

-Mr. Szameit also convincingly demonstrates that the sight-size method does not have deep historical roots. He explains that those claiming past masters used the sight-size method are incorrect, basing their claims on a misunderstanding of the definition of the sight-size method.
