COLOURS & VARNISHES AD. VIII --- Rapid Sketch of the gentleman who said: “Drawing cannot be taught by Post.” The career of the old Pupil who drew it proves how utterly mistaken is this idea. He took up my Postal Courses and became World famous as an Illustrator. This sketch and the humorous little study below show what Press Art School postal tuition can do for the young man or woman who really wishes to Sketch. Why not take up Sketching? You may think Sketching is a “born gift” limited to a few lucky persons. Sketching can be taught. I don’t say that one pupil will always do as well as another. They won’t. But I would sooner enrol one young student with enthusiasm who hadn’t drawn before, than a couple with a certain amount of “flair” and no real keenness. I know who would succeed! If you would like further proof of this, send for my free Prospectus. It will put you under no obligation whatever. But in the Prospectus you can read what my own Pupils have to say about the training they have received. See the work they can do now — and the sort of work they did when they started the Courses. Whether Sketching interests you as a Hobby of great joy—and there are few Hobbies which compare with it in its absorbing interest—or as a “second string to your bow,” send a p.c. for the Prospectus. It tells the 24 years story of Press Art School endeavour and contains a wealth of information for those interested in Art. PERCY V. BRADSHAW, The Press Art School (Dep't.
