THE STUDIO Twenty-one years’ successful Art Teaching by Post By Percy V. Bradshaw Founder and Principal of the Press Art School, Author of “Art in Advertising” and of “The Art of the Illustrator” Twenty-one years ago, when I started the Press Art School, old-fashioned Art Authorities doubted the practicability — the need almost—of teaching Drawing by Post. I offered the student, however, tuition and service which the average Art School does not provide—teaching Illustration, not academic design—acting as Teacher and selling agent to Artists wherever they lived. Time has proved that Press Art School Postal tuition is not only practical in the fullest sense, but outstandingly successful—both in regard to my Pupil’s achievements and the School’s own development. In every part of the world, men and women of all callings testify to the joy, mental stimulus, and practical value of my Teaching. During that 21 years I have watched many of the most famous of our Illustrators climb the ladder of Fame—old Pupils who generously admit the help derived from my Courses. You will probably ask, “of what practical value is Press Art School tuition to me?” The answer is found in my Pupils’ own letters telling the variety of ways in which the Lessons have helped them. A Secretary has been able to originate publicity schemes for his Directors—posters and advertisements, showcards and booklets. A Milliner has found the Lessons invaluable in designing Millinery and in making sketches and suggestions for her customers. An Engineering Student gains 86% in a professional drawing examination and attributes the result to us—while many hundreds of students have added to their incomes in their spare time. Over 1000 of my Pupils’ Drawings have appeared in “Punch” alone. I have two Postal Courses. The Preparatory Course is for those who have had little or no previous training. From the beginning you are taught to make your own original drawings in pencil, pen and wash. You start direct from Nature and proceed, in the fifth lesson, at the latest, to draw from the living model. The sections of this Course dealing with Humorous drawing have been specially written and illustrated by Tom Webster, H. M. Bateman, Bert Thomas, Alfred Leete, J. A. Shepherd and “Poy.” The Advanced Course teaches the young Artist who can draw how to produce work which will sell. If you are considering a career as an Artist in the Advertising or Editorial World, this Course offers you a short cut to proficiency. It contains exclusive practical articles by Fred Pegram, Leo Cheney, Harry Rountree, Heath Robinson and other famous Artists. --- 21st BIRTHDAY OFFER To celebrate the Press Art School’s coming-of-age, I am making a special offer to those who enrol now. A postcard will bring full particulars of this offer and also the Prospectus telling you all about the School and its unique record over 21 years. Address: Percy V.

THE STUDIO A VENTURE The Bon Marché, believing that the function of a modern Department Store should include service to the aesthetic life of the city, have developed their theory by offering the finer products of industry to the public at reasonable cost, and also by the exhibition of the work of artists in the fields of pure and applied art. During the last six months Bon Marché have built and equipped a Gallery in the Store which compares favourably with any similar Gallery either in London or the Provinces, and have staged in this Gallery a series of Exhibitions, Lectures, Concerts, etc., covering a very wide range of musical, literary, and artistic subjects. The artist or craftsman interested in showing his work under the most favourable conditions to a large number of people, is invited to write for particulars to the General Manager.

SKETCHING IN LEAD PENCIL FOR ARCHITECTS & OTHERS By JASPER SALWEY, A.R.I.B.A. Author of "The Art of Drawing in Lead Pencil." Comprising 111 pages under 6 separate chapter headings, with 56 examples of the Art of Pencil Sketching reproduced from originals by such well-known artists as F. L. EMANUEL, FRED ROE, R.I., A. E. NEWCOMBE, W. E. NESFIELD, and the Author This volume is planned as a companion to the author's THE ART OF DRAWING IN LEAD PENCIL. It is concerned entirely with "Sketching," as differentiated from the making of finished drawings. The author has endeavoured to place in the hands of the architect, the artist, and student, or anyone who sketches for pleasure or for profit, instructions in his own carefully considered method, which is deemed most suited to direct work in the open air. For every medium there must be some particular technique, that will bring out more readily than any other its fullest possibilities. That advocated in the present volume is very fully illustrated by specially prepared drawings to accompany the instructions contained in the Text, including examples of the same sketch in various stages of completion, and sketches ranging from the most elementary to the more advanced. * Messrs.
