QUEEN ST., LONDON, W.C.2 Phone: HOLBORN 3304 LEARN TO PAINT IN WATER COLOUR If you have wished that you could work in Colour—if you already work in Colour and would like to develop your ability—here is a unique opportunity to get personal guidance and tuition. Six leading Artists cover the whole field of Water Colour in a specially written Postal Course of Lessons. Every one of these Artists is a recognised Authority in the Section with which he deals. You are taught, in the fullest detail, how to paint Landscapes and Skies, Sea and Shore, Animal and Bird Life, Still Life and Flowers, Cottages, Churches and other subjects by men who have made a lifetime’s study of these branches of Art. Each Lesson contains over 8,000 words of instruction and advice and is illustrated with actual specimens of Water Colours reproduced in full Colour. You are shown exactly how the Artist has got his effects, and the methods and materials he has used are explained and discussed. The Artists who have produced this outstanding series of Demonstration Lessons are: L. Burleigh Bruhl, R.B.A., P.B.W.S., who gives expert advice on Landscape and Skies, for which his work is so notable. Norman Wilkinson, R.I., R.O.I., the Marine Artist, who explains his methods of painting Seascapes and Landscapes. Harry Rountree, the popular animal draughtsman and illustrator, who explains the painting of Birds, Beasts and Fishes and their backgrounds. Fred Taylor, R.L., who analyses and describes his methods of treating architectural subjects. Edmund J. Sullivan, A.R.W.S., the well-known illustrator and painter who gives a lesson of unique value on Flower and Still Life Painting. Frank H. Mason, R.I., R.B.A., who has illustrated travel books, designed posters and exhibited at leading galleries, in his Lesson gives valuable instruction in the painting of Seascapes and Landscapes. The “Studio” says: “We can confidently recommend this series of lessons reflecting the principles as practised to-day . . . not only to the beginner but to the more advanced student.” The Course is entirely Postal. It has been organised by the Press Art School, which, over the last twenty-five years, has trained by Post leading Artists in every branch of Illustration and Commercial Art. Every amateur artist wishing to succeed in Water Colour should send for particulars of these Lessons and see how he or she might benefit. In addition to the instruction and information, the Student is offered detailed criticism and advice on a series of studies set for each of the six lessons. Send a p.c. for the Prospectus describing these Courses and containing actual reproductions in full colour of some of the water colour Paintings which are analysed. Early application will enable you to take full advantage of the Outdoor Sketching Season. Address: Percy V. Bradshaw, The Press Art School, (Dept. S.196 ), Tudor Hall, Forest Hill, S.E. 23.

A new work of extraordinary interest and value to artists, students and all interested in art Medium 8vo, quarter-cloth, printed sides, price 12s. 6d. net THE ART & PRACTICE OF SKETCHING Its History & Technique in all Media by JASPER SALWEY, A.R.I.B.A. Author of "The Art of Drawing in Lead Pencil" With a Foreword by LEONARD SQUIRRELL, R.E. WITH 6 PLATES IN COLOUR, 77 HALF-TONE REPRODUCTIONS OF SKETCHES BY OLD AND MODERN MASTERS, MOSTLY FULL-PAGE, AND A NUMBER OF LINE ILLUSTRATIONS IN THE TEXT Until now Mr. Salwey has confined his technical efforts to the subject of Lead Pencil, a subject which he has made peculiarly his own. The present book covers a much wider field, and is the most important yet issued from his pen. It is concerned with Sketching in every medium—its history and the lessons to be learnt from the work of old masters, its aesthetic aspect and function in art as a whole, and its technique in all media. The illustrations are a particularly important feature of the book. B. T. BATSFORD, LTD. 94 HIGH HOLBORN, LONDON, W.C.1 An invaluable new work for students, teachers, designers and craftsmen. Medium 8vo, cloth, lettered, price 12s. 6d. net ABSTRACT DESIGN A PRACTICAL MANUAL ON THE MAKING OF PATTERNS by AMOR FENN Author of "Design and Tradition," Etc. WITH A FRONTISPIECE IN COLOUR AND OVER 460 ILLUSTRATIONS FROM DRAWINGS AND DESIGNS, PRINCIPALLY BY THE AUTHOR, INCLUDING DIAGRAMS, ANALYSES OF PATTERNS IN VARIOUS STAGES, MOTIVES, FINISHED DESIGNS, HISTORIC EXAMPLES, INSTRUMENTS, ETC. Mr. Fenn's book is both constructive and analytical. It shows how the use of a few simple units may be elaborated indefinitely into original variants, and how even the most elaborate may be nearly always reduced to a judicious arrangement of quite simple motives. His long experience as a teacher has fitted him perfectly to produce what is claimed to be the most concise yet comprehensive treatment of the subject of Abstract Design yet issued. Always keeping in mind the needs of the modern designer and student, he has packed the book with useful and adaptable examples, showing every stage of their working out from the original motives, and their manifest suitability for "repeat" pattern.
