On Drawing Trees and Nature

A direct and accurate reprint of this classic art instruction manual of 1846, this guide is filled with beautiful scenes from nature with a particular emphasis on inspiring images of trees and woodland. Written and illustrated by James Duffield Harding (1798-1863), drawing master and sketching companion to the great Victorian critic John Ruskin, areas of focus include "On Form", "On Copying", aspects of different media, foliage, landscape and many more elements of drawing from nature.
Accompanying compelling and atmospheric Victorian era vignettes, accurate but with elements of the sublime, there is also a series of lessons emphasizing both practical and theoretical considerations. This edition also features 23 outstanding plates from the author's Lessons on Trees.
