TEN DRAWINGS (ART EBOOKS Book 1)

---

Many people now concede the claim that it is actually possible to suggest "a sense of color " in a "black and white" drawing, and it is hoped that the notes in Chapter IX may at least convey to the student those principles upon which the claim is based Drawing for Art Students and Illustrators. This technical power or faculty, call it what we will, is not a conjuring trick, a mere sleight-of-hand to be learned as a series of "tips," but must be acquired, if at all, by severe training As the eye is the most important gateway of knowledge, so far as the physical world is concerned, it ought to receive great culture, even with only a utilitarian motive, for the time is rapidly approaching when drawing will demand its right place Trees and Tree Drawing;.

As the figure painter studies the nude that he may be able to paint the costumed figure, as he must know the figure within the clothes, so should the landscape painter study the naked tree in winter, that he may be able to paint it rightly in its summer dress of foliage The Sketcher's Manual or, The whole art of picture making reduced to the simplest principles. The Practice and Science of Drawing: No good can come of such methods, for there are no short cuts to excellence.

To this the reply may be given—quoting from Leslie's ' Handbook to Young Painters — 'that it is of the greatest consequence if it enables him to see better what he copies. I do not claim to have discovered any new thing, either in the principles or possible applications of perspective science. But it has occurred to me, as I know it has occurred to many others with a similar experience in teaching drawing, that a book on perspective, which should be exhaustive enough to redeem the study from the contempt with which it is too often treated by artists — an estimate which is, to a considerable extent, justified by such presentations of it as are usually found in the "hand-books" and "text-books " in common use—and yet free, as far as possible, from the technical difficulties which the unscientific mind is pretty sure to encounter in the profounder treatises, might be of use.

For Use in Manual-training Schools and Colleges. When the author began to teach the elements of freehand drawing to technical students, and found it necessary to deal with the art of drawing associated with the principles of linear perspective, he was impressed with the fact that there was an unnecessary and undesirable antagonism between the two, which, when speaking of the one, required the other to be ignored, at the same time both had to be carried along side by side; the time seemed very long before the student might be permitted to view the mystery of why the one was dependent upon the other Elements of Pen and Ink Rendering rendering with pen and brush, elements of water-color rendering, rendering in water color, drawing from nature, the American Vignola.

These principles apply not only to pictorial representation, but to every kind of design. In general, composition involves three separate considerations — balance, rhythm, and harmony; and if work be executed in accordance with these principles it will result in a unity of effect that is satisfactory and restful, because all parts of the picture are consistently related to one another.

The most important of these is the time of day. To an outdoor painter—an expert examining the work of another expert—the hour-hand is written over every square inch of the canvas. He knows from the angle of the shadows just how high the sun was in the heavens, and he knows, too, from the local color of the shadows whether it is a silvery light of the morning, the glare of noontime, or the deepening golden glow of the afternoon.

For instance, some prefer a coarse canvas, and others choose a very fine texture. I think the best is a medium grain, which will not show disagreeably the texture of the linen when painted, and which is not too absorbent. It is better white, since it is quite an easy matter to give it a wash with spirits of turpentine in which a little burnt sienna is mixed to tone it to a softer tint. The turpentine also gives the surface a pleasant 'tooth,' or surface to work upon, and takes away the oily and shiny appearance.

It is not a mere collection of recipes like most of the monkish secrets, but a school of art, and emphatically the working directions of a man who could do what he taught A Manual of Oil Painting,. Materials for a History of Oil Painting- Volume 1 ,. These paintings, which, according to Vasari, illustrated the Life of the Madonna, have long since disappeared, and, with them, all certain evidence of the method of their execution; from the light now obtained, however, it has become doubtful, perhaps more than doubtful, whether any of the series were executed by the process implied by the modern term 'oil painting' Materials for a History of Oil Painting- Volume 2 ,.

It win not be necessary to assure those readers already acquainted with Sir Charles's habits of scientious accuracy and patient research that such habits are as vividly impressed on these chapters as on all that have gone before. To say "do thus and so" will not teach any one to paint. But there are certain principles which underlie all painting, and all schools of painting ; and to state clearly the most important of these will surely be helpful, and may accomplish something Painting in Oil ; a manual for use of students,. Whatever may be the special charms of other mediums, this must ever remain the one which gives the freest range to the capacity of the artist, and the most direct and complete facility in the representation of nature With this object in view I have divided the work into a series of separate lessons or chapters, beginning with a method of drawing which is not, I believe, usually taught, but which my own students have found useful as an additional aid to the knowledge they had already acquired Oil Painting, its Discovery and Early History.

A most beautiful invention and a great convenience to the art of Painting, was the discovery of coloring in oil Baldwin Brown, Published When these colors are laid on flashing and vivid in a disagreeable discordance so that they are like stains and loaded with body, as was formerly the wont with some painters, the design becomes marred in such a manner that the figures are left painted by the patches of color rather than by the brush, which distributes the light and shade over the figures and makes them appear natural and in relief.

All pictures then whether in oil, in fresco, or in tempera ought to be so blended in their colours that the principal figures in the groups are brought out with the utmost clearness, the draperies of those in front being kept so light that the figures which stand behind are darker than the first, and so little by little as the figures retire inwards, they become also in equal measure gradually lower in tone in the colour both of the flesh tints and of the vestments.

The Art of Painting in Oil, and in Fresco: Merimee, who it is evident has selected with judgment from amongst a heap of preparations and recipes, those which he found approach nearest to the simplicity of nature. For it is a remarkable fact, that the most permanent class of colors, are those which have been the slowest of creation in nature's laboratory. Dating from the XIIth to XVIIIth Centuries on the Arts of Painting, Vol 1 in oil, miniature, mosaic, and on glass ; of qildinq, dyeing, and the preparation of colours and artificial gems; preceded by a general introduction ; with translations, prefaces.

Having repeated these last experiments, I obtained from the dark green, light green, and purple enamels, results differing from the preceding in the gradation of color only.

From the red I afterwards obtained a transparent glass of yellowish green colour ; from the black, a violet or amethystine glass. These iterations and anomalies, some of which throw light on the nature of the blue glass of the ancients, are to be ascribed to the greater or less degree of oxidation of the metallic coloring matters.

Then wash the blackened azure with white wine, and let it dry, and put it into a shell with about a fourth part of gum water.

This can hardly be said of modern direct oil painting. I have taken it for granted that the reader has, at least, a practical knowledge of the rudiments of drawing, such as may be acquired at any school of art.

It is, of course, an absolute necessity that such should be the case before any attempt is made to paint from Nature. My aim, therefore, has been to place before the student certain considerations which do not find a place in the curriculum of our art schools, and which should be of assistance to him in the progress of an artists' development. In that case, go ahead and begin. There is a great deal to be said for getting paints and brushes and starting to paint before reading the rest of this book.

After even half an hour's work you will have experienced some of the delights of oil painting and have en- countered a few of the difficulties. But, before starting to paint, you must have some paints, some brushes, a surface to paint on, and a few other things. Buy only what is really necessary; the initial stages are quite difficult enough without trying to learn how to handle a dozen different tools at once. Your requirements will be paints, 'thinners', brushes, boards or canvases, a palette, a palette knife, an easel, and a paintbox.

As a rule the great painters have been too much occupied with their painting to explain to the world how their effects have been produced. Indeed, it would seem that they have not always known themselves ; for when they have theorized upon the subject their theories have been often quite irreconcilable with their practice. Fortunately, they have generally had pupils who have carried on the tradition of their masters' work Illustrated on Plain and Colored Plates.

For this there must be causes not wholly consisting in the difficulties of the art; and one cannot but imagine that some mistake has constantly pursued this large majority, and prevented them from perceiving in what the chief intention of painting consists, If you have already started to paint in oils, I hope this book will refresh your interest, and provide you with information, opinions, and ideas that I had not the time to give you on television. If you are on the threshold of your first oil-painting, I hope you will find my book helpful.

An Accidence, or Gamut, of Painting in Oil. The colourmen, to whom every thing is left, begin by brushing the cloth over with strong glue, to lay the flue, and prevent its absorbing any oil, as I suppose: In a very short space of time, if kept in rolls, it gets so brittle, that it would be as easy to unfold a manuscript of Herculaneum as this, without breaking or cracking in ten thousand places. If the picture be hung in a damp place, it comes off altogether, in great flakes; and in time, with the greatest care, it becomes covered with circular cracks, like net-work, for which there is no remedy.

It ought to be prepared with very thin starch, and rubbed while wet with a rubber-stone, to lay the flue smooth, and painted with proper thin color several times: In Holland, and even Dublin, their cloths are far superior, and very pliable.

During recent years they have given a great deal of attention to the examination of painters' colours, and have from time to time found some difficulty in obtaining reliable information on the subject.

This led to a considerable amount of work in obtaining and examining specimens of pigments Among the means essential to proficiency in Painting, none is more important than a just knowledge of Colors and Pigments — their qualities, powers, and effects Safe Handling of Colour Pigments. Long-term oral intake of cadmium pigments leads to accumulation in the human body, especially in the kidneys. On inhalation of sub chronic amounts of cadmium pigments, a small proportion of cadmium is bioavailable 1,3.

Toxicity of cadmium pigments is nonetheless very much lower by several orders of magnitude than that of other cadmium compounds.

The Household Cyclopedia ,. Cases often occur when it is necessary to produce a gold color without employing a metallic substance. A color capable of forming an illusion is then given to the composition, the greater part of which consists of yellow. This is accomplished by Naples or Montpellier yellow, brightened by Spanish white, or by white of Morat, mixed with ochre de Berri and realgar.

The last substance, even in small quantity, gives to the mixture a color imitating gold, and which may be employed in distemper, varnish, or oil. When destined for oil, it is ground with drying or pure nut-oil, added to essence or mixed with drying oil To make Chamois and Buff Color.

Yellow is the foundation of chamois color, which is modified by a particle of minium, or what is better, cinnabar and ceruse in small quantity.

The Manufacture Of Earth Colours: The Manufacture of Mineral and Lake Pigments, containing directions for the manufacture of all artificial artists' and painters' colours, enamel colours, soot and metallic pigments,.

Known as Indian yellow or aureolin. It is distinguished from other yellow pigments by being unaffected by sulphurated hydrogen. The potassium nitrite required in the preparation of this pigment is most easily made by melting saltpetre in a thick iron vessel and stirring in fine iron filings in small quantities as soon as the saltpetre begins to decompose. The iron glows brightly and burns to oxide, the saltpetre changes to potassium nitrite. The mass is dissolved in a little hot water, the solution filtered and cooled, when most of the undecomposed saltpetre crystallizes out, whilst the nitrite remains in solution.

After further evaporation and separation of another crop of potassium nitrate crystals, the solution can be used to precipitate the aureolin. The book deals with fundamentals of paints, Varnishes and lacquers, pigments, Oils used in paints and varnishes, solvents, dryers, plasticizers, additives for surface coating, various types of paint manufacturing etc.

The Painter and Varnisher's Guide: The turpentine of Chio, just mentioned, was long known under the name of Venice turpentine, because the Venetians, who got into their hands a great part of the Levant trade, sent to every part of Europe all the productions of these countries. At present, that distinguished by the name of Venice turpentine is produced by a kind of larch tree very abundant in the Apennines, in part of the Alps of the Orisons, of Savoy, It is fluid, glutinous, tenacious, and of a consistence between that of oil and that of honey.

It has a yellowish-white color, and a strong penetrating yet agreeable smell, The turpentine of Alsace, or of Strasbourg,is produced by a kind of silver fir, with leaves like those of the yew tree. When fresh it is liquid, and more transparent than that of Venice, but less viscid and tenacious. Its smell is very agreeable, and has more resemblance to that of oranges than the smell of the Venice turpentine. It has nearly the same taste as that of Chio Oil Colors and Printers' Inks ; a practical handbook treating of linseed oil, boiled oil, paints, artists' colors, lampblack and printers' inks, black and colored.

Pigments that degrade under the influence of their local external environment can only be visualized in paint cross-section.

For example, analytical imaging studies on a partially degraded smalt particle a blue potash glass containing a discolored rim and an intact blue core, indicate that an elemental exchange between the particle and surrounded medium occurred.

Languri, Published University of Amsterdam, Cover design: This has resulted in a set of markers and biomarkers specific for the particular black-brown organic pigments that are further used to identify their presence in historical paint material collections or other reference samples of interest.

In chapter 2 results on an asphalt sample from the 19th-century paint material collection are given Chapter 3 deals with mass spectrometric characterisation of an historical mummy pigment sample in order to assess a possible Egyptian origin of mummy pigment samples, seen as a Dead Sea asphalt containing samples. Chapter 4 reports on the characterisation of Kassel earth samples and the identification of such samples as Kassel earth type.

A few pigments however were organic in nature and were prepared from plants or animals. The vast majority of these coloring materials belong to the chemical classes of flavonoids yellow , anthraquinones red , and indigoids blue , with basic molecular structures shown in Figure 1. Their coloring properties are known since antiquity in many civilizations.

For example, technical studies have demonstrated that comparative investigation of self-made or ready-made picture supports of Van Gogh can help to establish a chronology for these pictures, or even prove authenticity. The characterization of artist materials is also a useful aid for the understanding of the role and the influence of these materials in the stylistic evolutionary process of an artist.

A small quantity mixed with five or six times its weight of dry sodium carbonate and heated in a tube should show globules of mercury on the cooler portion of the tube. The best test for purity is the ash, which should be not more than one-half of 1 per cent. Make the determination in a porcelain dish or crucible, using 2 grams of the sample. Ash in a muffle or in a hood with a very good draft, as the mercury fumes are very poisonous. It is seldom necessary to make a determination of the mercury; but if this is required, it may be determined by mixing 0.

The committee then proceeded to a selection of minimum standards for tinting strength. The Paint Testing and Research Laboratory had prepared painted out panels of eight leading paints of each color. These panels were numbered in code and the committee selected the one to be designated as standard. The members of the committee making the selections had no knowledge of what manufacturers' paints were being considered.

The standards selected are to be duplicated and samples furnished to all manufacturers of artists' oil paints and, in so far as is practical, they will be available to testing laboratories and others who may be required to test artists' oil paints.

Opponents of this theory and have often suggested that the resins were contaminations from conservation treatments or varnishes that were applied on top of these paints. According to Van Eikema Hommes the existence of copper resinate is a myth. She believes verdigris was simply mixed with heat-bodied oil to which perhaps a little ready prepared varnish was added". Chrome green is principally a mixture of Prussian blue and chrome yellow. When chrome green is used as a pigment it should be free from soluble salts, otherwise the soluble salts are liable to affect the linseed oil.

A paint which contains chrome green when used at the seashore usually bleaches, so that a paint for that purpose should contain chromium oxide as the pigment. Chromium oxide is the only perfectly permanent green made. It mixes with every other pigment without decomposition and stands exposure to light without fading or darkening. It is unaffected by alkali. Zinc Greens are usually mixtures of chromate of zinc and Prussian blue and are extremely brilliant and permanent to light, but not permanent to alkali or water.

They are largely used in flat wall paints and for paints for interior decoration. Verte Antique Copper Green. This is generally bicarbonate of copper.
