"The

hundred illustrations to guide you step-by-step and help you

Let

The
illustration below shows the different stages of mass drawing with
the brush (Plate I. The Practice and Science of Drawing).
"The
Practice and Science of Drawing" is an extraordinarily
brilliant work that also contains extensive discussions about
modern art and various styles, techniques and philosophies of
different artists.
In
Chapter I for instance the author talks about the various studies
about different artists' styles and points of views.
In
describing the works of different artists for instance, the author
writes:
"If
anybody looks at a picture by Claude Monet from the point of view
of a Raphael, he will see nothing but a meaningless jargon of wild
paint-strokes.
And
if anybody looks at a Raphael from the point of view of a Claude
Monet, he will, no doubt, only see hard, tinny figures in a
setting devoid of any of the lovely atmosphere that always
envelops form seen in nature. So wide apart are some of the points
of view in painting."

More
importantly, "The
Practice and Science of Drawing" is also a scientific investigation
about the art of drawing.
Take
for instance how the author expounds on the art of drawing:
"The
best things in an artist's work are so much a matter of
intuition, that there is much to be said for the point of view
that would altogether discourage intellectual inquiry into
artistic phenomena on the part of the artist.
Intuitions
are shy things and apt to disappear if looked into too closely.
And there is undoubtedly a danger that too much knowledge and
training may supplant the natural intuitive feeling of a student,
leaving only a cold knowledge of the means of expression in its
place.
For
the artist, if he has the right stuff in him, has a consciousness,
in doing his best work, of something, as Ruskin has said, "not
in him but through him." He has been, as it were, but the
agent through which it has found expression."
