A Course of Instructions on Landscape Painting in Oil, Water Color, Pastel Painting

The purpose of this small book is to teach art students right-hand facts on the painting of landscape. Having had long experience in this branch of art, I feel confident I can suggest certain rules and give advice that will help them in avoiding mistakes and eliminate many difficulties so common with beginners in all lines of work. A book of this kind contains many instructive suggestions, it leads toward the proper method of producing varied effects and is actually as compact and good as a book costing several times as much. While an art book cannot make an artist, it can, no doubt, help students in planning their compositions, teach them to differentiate between this method or the opposite method in producing certain effects.
