BOOKS TO POSSESS THE WATER-COLOURS OF W. RUSSELL FLINT, R.W.S. How water-colour can be used to create atmosphere—the freshness of sea and sky and the delicate play of light on bathing figures—is revealed in this collection of the work of Russell Flint. Each charming plate reproduced is instinct with beauty. Folio Wrapper 7s. 6d. Postage 6d. THE PAINTING OF D. Y. CAMERON, R.A., R.S.A. A companion volume to the foregoing and complementary in artistic character. Sir David Cameron, one of the greatest modern masters of landscape, depicts the rugged grandeur of mountain scenery in a style full of strength, and yet subtle also. His is painting that will endure. Folio Wrapper 7s. 6d. Postage 6d. BRITISH MARINE PAINTING. TEXT BY A. L. BALDRY. It is said there are few new discoveries to be made nowadays, and yet it is only in recent years that the chief maritime nation of the world has discovered those who have painted her pride. A noble tradition of artists of the sea is disclosed in this wonderfully interesting collection. Wrapper Edition 7s. 6d. Postage 1s. FIGURE PAINTING IN WATER-COLOURS BY CONTEMPORARY BRITISH ARTISTS. A striking study in technique. Men like Brangwyn, Orpen, and Sargent show that the figure can be made to live in water-colour. Wrapper Edition 7s. 6d. Cloth Edition 10s. 6d. Postage 1s. THE NEW BOOK ILLUSTRATION IN FRANCE. BY LÉON PICHON. A wealth of admirable printing and a specially interesting form of illustration is contained in this volume. It proves that France is still the home of refinement and taste, and can give a lead in matters of book production. Wrapper Edition 7s. 6d. Cloth Edition 10s. 6d. Postage 1s. SPANISH PAINTING. COMMENTARY BY DON AURELIANO DE BERUETE. The rich colour and intense feeling of Spain are summed up in the masterpieces of El Greco, Velasquez, and Goya. To many the works of modern Spanish artists like Zuloaga will come as a fresh revelation—a recent Zuloaga exhibition, it may be noted, took all America by storm. The complete evolution of this special national art is illustrated in this volume, with a foreword by a great Spanish critic. Wrapper Edition 7s. 6d. Cloth Edition 10s. 6d. Postage 1s. JOSEF ISRAELS. COMMENTARY BY DR. MAX EISLER. Josef Israels painted like an old master, and those who love Dutch art may recapture here the impressive light and shade of Rembrandt himself, and at the same time an intimate acquaintance with the life of the people. Wrapper Edition 7s. 6d. Cloth Edition 10s. 6d. Postage 1s. J. S. COTMAN. BY A. P. OPPÉ. Cotman could do wonders with his brush, and his best works here reproduced rival in skill those of the great painters of the Far East. His was a tragic life and a supreme genius. Wrapper Edition 7s. 6d. Cloth Edition 10s. 6d. Postage 1s. THE YEAR-BOOK OF DECORATIVE ART, 1925. The encyclopædia of modern crafts, essential to everyone who cares for the decoration of the home, and wishes to make use of modern progress in this direction. Wrapper Edition 7s. 6d. Cloth Edition 10s. 6d. Postage 1s. VENICE. The sumptuous, half-Oriental city is here portrayed in its glory and in its decay by artists of many periods and nationalities. This book creates for us a dazzling vision of Venetian life through the centuries. Wrapper Edition 7s. 6d. Cloth Edition 10s. 6d. Postage 1s. "THE STUDIO" LTD. 44, LEICESTER SQUARE, LONDON AD. V

THE STUDIO --- Sketch ME This jolly “old Salt” was well worth recording in a Sketch Book, wasn’t he? The young Artist responsible for him started to draw as a Press Art School Pupil. He rapidly outgrew his post as Staff Cartoonist on a well-known Provincial paper and now finds a demand for his work as far afield as the South African papers. Sketching is such a joyous Hobby and offers big prospects to the proficient Student. Why not use a Sketch Book in your leisure hours? Drawing, when taught naturally, is for all who really wish to Draw. Press Art School Postal Instruction has made Learning to Draw an easy, happy process for the merest beginner. The Advanced Section—for those who already draw—imparts that knowledge of Technique which might take years to acquire in the ordinary way. Send a p.c for the School’s Illustrated Prospectus and read the experience of numerous Pupils. It gives full details of the Teaching and is almost a Drawing Lesson in itself. Percy V.
