The Practice and Science of Drawing

Although written in 1913, this brilliant and authoritative guide
to drawing is still highly relevant today. Speed, a highly regarded
painter in his time, takes the student comprehensively through
approaches, techniques and materials and illustrates them all
with diagrams and paintings from both his contemporaries and
the Masters. He also discusses various aspects of the science and
philosophy of art, such as the use of proportion, the nature of talent
and the definition of beauty.

This handsome new edition from Benediction Classics contains
all the original plates and diagrams and would be a great addition to
the resources of any budding artist.
