Synopsis
Excerpt from Talks About Art
Look at that figure, and draw it as if it were a plant. Remember that background and clothing have reference to the figure. You might change the whole drawing of the face, yes, draw in the face of another boy, without materially changing the character of the figure.
You talk about practice of the hand. It has less to do with drawing than you think. You draw with your brain, with your eyes. You could draw with your toes, like the man in Antwerp.
Old Poussin said, My hand trembles with old age; but I think it will yet follow the dictates of my brains!

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book reflects on artistic principles and their application as taught by renowned artist Charles Hawthorne. A collection of Hawthorne's lectures, this book delves into the philosophies, techniques, and theories he employed in his own work while teaching students who would go on to become great artists themselves. Hawthorne believed in the importance of observation, simplicity, and working with intuition. He emphasized capturing the essence of a subject rather than focusing on details. This book explores Hawthorne's ideas on composition, color, and the use of light and dark, providing valuable insights for aspiring artists seeking to master their craft. The author draws parallels between Hawthorne's teachings and the work of renowned artists such as Rembrandt, Titian, and Velasquez. Through these comparisons, the book further illuminates Hawthorne's artistic vision and its place within the broader history of art.
