The Use of a Box of Colours, in a Practical Demonstration on Composition, Light and Shade, and Colour: Illustrated by Plain Examples (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Use of a Box of Colours, in a Practical Demonstration on Composition, Light and Shade, and Colour: Illustrated by Plain Examples

Between those works on Art which are too costly, or too old to be useful 'now, - those, which are too comprehensive or prolix - and those, which teach nothing, - it was suggested to the Author, that an investigation and simple arrangement of the Principles on which he has hitherto successfully taught, with useful results, would form a Practical Treatise, calculated to abridge the labours and shorten the road of the Student.
