PITMAN'S ART BOOKS WRITTEN BY WELL-KNOWN ARTISTS The Technique of Water-Colour Painting By Leonard Richmond, R.O.I., R.B.A., and J. Littlejohns, R.B.A., A.R.B.C. FOURTH IMPRESSION The art lover and the art student, as well as the amateur artist, will find much that will assist and interest them in this book, both from the aesthetic and the practical points of view. The Authors have concentrated on the technique of the subject, and give several methods which they have tried in the course of their work, leaving the reader to adopt that which appeals to him. "... This delightful book by two enthusiastic craftsmen is a valuable work, and there are few water-colourists who could fail to benefit by reading it carefully."—Artwork. Size 11 in. by 8 $\frac{3}{4}$ in., with 31 full-page coloured plates. Cloth gilt, 21s. net. The Art of Landscape Painting By Leonard Richmond, R.O.I., R.B.A. In this book Mr. Richmond deals with Landscape Painting in its fundamentals, and discusses the three media of Water Colour, Oil and Pastel in connection with landscape. The explanations are freely illustrated throughout with beautifully reproduced examples of Mr. Richmond's work. "The book is worth possessing for its illustrations alone. Its brimming information makes it a book for the student, and appeals to the connoisseur by its real beauty."—Civil Service Arts Magazine. "Thoroughly expounds the principles of landscape painting as well as giving sound advice and instruction as to how to put them into practice in water-colour, oil or pastel."—The Connoisseur. Size 11 in. by 8 $\frac{3}{4}$ in., with 39 full-page coloured plates and other illustrations. Cloth gilt, 25s. net. A PORTFOLIO OF RAPID FIGURE STUDIES OF MOVEMENT From the Nude Figure By Borough Johnson This is designed especially for the art student concentrating on the human figure. The Studies have been made rapidly, the chief objective being to catch particular poses. The coloured plate is finished in detail. "These ten studies in sanguine... ought certainly to accomplish some at least of their avowed purpose. Mr. Borough Johnson can draw, and these ten excellent monochrome reproductions prove it.... The author's twelve 'notes' which accompany these drawings as a text should be carefully marked, learned and digested by every student."—Apollo. Size 17 in. by 11 in. 10 plates in sanguine colour and one coloured plate. 10s. 6d. net. OBTAINABLE FROM BOOKSELLERS OR ARTISTS' COLOURMEN. SIR ISAAC PITMAN & SONS, LTD.
