Description

This classic of art instruction is the work of James Duffield Harding (1798-1863); who served as drawing master and sketching companion to the great Victorian art critic; John Ruskin. Generations of students have benefited from the teachings of this 19th-century master; who sought always to "produce as near a likeness to Nature; in every respect; as the instrument; or material employed; will admit of; not so much by bona fide imitation; as by reviving in the mind those ideas which are awakened by a contemplation of Nature . . . The renewal of those feelings constitutes the true purpose of Art."This volume consists of direct reproductions of Hardings sketches of vignettes from natural settings. Each is accompanied by a series of lessons emphasizing both practical and theoretical considerations. The edition features the added attraction of 23 outstanding plates from the authors Lessons on Trees.
