Or Oil and Water Color Painting without the Aid of a Teacher :: :: :: ::
By F. DELAMOTTE
¶ The aim of this book is to instruct the student in the fundamental principles underlying those branches of art of which it treats and to teach the application of those principles in a clear and concise manner. The knowledge it contains is available, alike to the amateur whose only desire it is to beautify the home and to pass pleasant hours at agreeable work and also to those talented ones who lack the opportunities afforded by art schools and teachers who are out of reach. To the latter, this work contains elements that will quicken the germ of talent or genius into life and send it well on its road to success. ¶ This very late and most complete work on amateur art gives thorough instructions in nine branches of decorative art. Each part is the product of the pen of a famous teacher and lecturer who has made that branch his especial life study. ¶ Unlike other works on the market, it is brought up-to-date—no obsolete branches being dragged in, to fill out space. ¶ Each chapter contains a complete list of materials and equipment, and instruction enough to develop natural ability to a point where the student may continue, independent of further aid, and trusting to his own individuality of style.
