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.

Darren R. Rousar is an atelier-trained artist and teacher who writes books to teach you how to draw and paint. He does this by first teaching you how to see using Sight-Size. Darren has written six books, his most recent being The Sight-Size Cast (learn more here: sightsize.com/learn/sight-size-cast/). He has been teaching students how to see since 1988, both in the States and in Florence, Italy. Every other week he publishes an article on SightSize.com.
Through his publishing company, Velatura Press, he also republished an expanded edition of E.G. Lutz's 1921 book, Drawing Made Easy and edited a combined reprint of Asher B. Durand's 1855 Letters on Landscape Painting with Birge Harrison's 1910 Landscape Painting.
