Two Beautiful New Art Books By WELL-KNOWN ARTISTS whose work has been exhibited at Royal Academy, Paris Salon, etc., etc. The Technique of PENCIL DRAWING By Borough Johnson, S.G.A. With a Foreword by FRANK BRANGWYN, R.A., and a Note on Pencil Drawing by SELWYN IMAGE. In his Foreword, Mr. Frank Brangwyn, R.A., says: > “That chalk or pencil is the master of all art is a truth that cannot be contradicted. The greatest pictures have lived more by their design than by their colour. This book is written by an artist whose fine draughtsmanship, sincere observation and feeling for character, are too well known to need any recommendation from me. The high quality of his work proves him to be well able to help others by his teaching. > > To artists and art students, and, indeed, to all those who appreciate good drawing, this book should prove most useful.” Very great care has been taken to reproduce the pictures so as to obtain the nearest possible resemblance to the original drawings. FIGURE AND LANDSCAPE DRAWING are carefully dealt with and freely illustrated, including Notes on the Proportions of the Human figure. Size 10½ ins. by 8 ins., cloth gilt, with 70 FULL-PAGE PLATES of beautifully reproduced drawings. Price, 21/- net Special limited De Luxe Edition. Signed Copies with additional plate and very handsome binding. Price, 35/- net The Art of LANDSCAPE PAINTING By Leonard Richmond, R.O.I., R.B.A. Landscape Art has completely changed from the old regime and Artists are seeking fresh grounds which lead to self-expression in pictorial language. Mr. Richmond co-ordinates theory and practice in a simple but effective manner, and it is safe to say no other book on landscape art is so fully qualified to instruct the potential artist and to assist the artist who has already achieved recognition to climb a step higher in his career. WATER COLOUR, OILS, and PASTEL are discussed in connection with landscape, and the explanations are freely illustrated throughout with beautiful colour plates which will appeal very strongly to all lovers of landscape art. A BEAUTIFUL BOOK—Size 104 ins. by 8 ins., cloth gilt, with 35 FULL-PAGE COLOUR PLATES and 4 many other illustrations. 25/- net Special limited De Luxe Edition — Autographed Copies, with extra plate and handsome binding. 42/- net ¶ Detailed Prospectuses with Specimen Plates will be sent post free on application --- BOOKS by Leonard Richmond, R.O.I., R.B.A., and John Littlejohns, R.B.A., A.R.B.C.

In demy 4to, cloth gilt, with 32 full-page instruction plates and reproductions of water-colour paintings by the authors. 21/- net The Art of PAINTING IN PASTEL With a Frontispiece and Foreword by FRANK BRANGWYN “A book which has the special advantage of having been written and illustrated by two artists of repute who have a thorough knowledge of pastel, and use it habitually with power and distinction.”—The Studio.

Start Sketching in the New Year By Percy V. Bradshaw (Founder and Principal of the Press Art School). This is one New Year resolution that you won’t want to break! Once you start Sketching, I can promise you that your leisure hours during 1928 will seem happier and more worth while than they have seemed hitherto. Even if you “cannot draw a line,” if you wish to learn, I can teach you to sketch in a way that is pleasant, joyous even, from the very beginning. Send for my Prospectus and read what my Pupils have to say—men and women, in all parts of the World, who testify to the joy and practical value of my teaching. Many of these are now famous Press Artists. The Artists who drew these clever sketches are both old Pupils of mine—they are now amongst the leaders in their respective lines. This does not mean that my teaching is intended solely to produce professional Artists on the contrary, a large proportion of my Pupils are learning for the joy and interest alone. But if Sketching does appeal to you, as a Hobby or as a Career, then you can enjoy the same sincere and thorough Training which has produced leading Artists in all branches of Illustration and Commercial Art. Whatever your interest in Sketching, send for my Prospectus. It tells you all about my Courses and describes the methods which have made learning-to-Draw an easy process for the merest beginner. It is a free Drawing Lesson itself. Address: Percy V. Bradshaw, Principal PRESS ART SCHOOL (Dept.

Nearest Tube Stations: Chalk Farm and Camden Town Pot Boilers TO secure life-long economic independence every artist and art student should learn the technique of commercial art. This will not only develop enormously his flair for 'genre' subjects. It will also enable him to go on working at his own chosen sphere in art for just as long as may be necessary to achieve success. Moreover, commercial art (advertisement illustrations, magazine drawings, poster designing, etc.) becomes more interesting every day. To learn it in the John Hassall Way is a delightful experience. The unique Postal Course devised by John Hassall, R.I., forces students to develop powers of which they themselves are unconscious. Send to-day a copy of the above drawing or a specimen of original work and you will receive free of charge (1) Expert Advice. (2) A handsome Brochure explaining the John Hassall Course.
