ENGLISH EDITION. Titles in this very practical art instruction series are designed for use by advanced students and experienced amateurs. They can be used as sef-teaching guides or as textbooks in art classes.

This volume instructs art students in the mastery of line, with reference to several different media. The authors show various ways in which line art is employed to render still lifes, landscapes, portraits, and human forms. Using fifteen examples, this book demonstrates the gradual development of paintings and drawings, allowing students to compare different techniques and then develp those that best suit their own styles and purposes. The authors encourage students to pursue creativity and experimentation in their search for original results. Each approach, based on a historic reference, demonstrates the step-by-step development of an art work, the end result being a finished painting. A gallery at the end of this book will inspire students with additional instructive examples.
