Brush Drawing: As Applied to Natural Forms and Common Objects

by May Mallam Author

Brush Drawing as Applied to Natural Forms and Common Objects Takes the student who is familiar with elementary brush strokes to the next level by providing a series of exercises in both monochrome and color. With the monochrome exercises the student learns more ways to manipulate the brush to create curved lines and filled spaces, and to show increased depth through use of light and shadow. In the color exercises the student gains familiarity with the mixing of colors and the elements of composition. Twelve plates are given illustrating monochrome work, with directions for each example, and eight plates containing a considerable number of examples of mixed-color work, with squares showing the colors to be employed.
