I found the book.

I have a 14 yr old son who has drawing ability and who wants me to teach him how to draw. Unfortunately, I'm of the generation where when coming up you were pretty on your own if you wanted to learn anything about "realism". I'm largely self-taught with a smattering of knowledge I've picked up along the way. I don't have a model for teaching. The Bargue drawing series looks very promising and perhaps a good start for him. (I thank all those who have brought the series to our attention.) I found the book on amazon.fr for 71 euros, about $112 with shipping. Its been a long time since I've used my college french. I don't think I'll be able to translate it without a great deal of effort. I'm just wondering how important is the text? I gather from what I've read here that one tries to duplicate the plates with pencil and paper by sight sizing and double checking measurements. Any info would be great. Thanks much.

Steve
