If you desire only to possess a graceful accomplishment, to be able to converse in a fluent manner about drawing, or to amuse yourself listlessly in listless hours, I cannot help you: but if you wish to learn drawing that you may be able to set down clearly, and usefully, records of such things as cannot be described in words, either to assist your own memory of them, or to convey distinct ideas of them to other people; if you wish to obtain quicker perceptions of the beauty of the natural world, and to preserve something like a true image of beautiful things that pass away, or which you must yourself leave; if, also, you wish to understand the minds of great painters, and to be able to appreciate their work sincerely, seeing it for yourself, and loving it, not merely taking up the thoughts of other people about it; then I can help you, or, which is better, show you how to help yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn First Practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise I.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise II.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise III.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise IV.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise V.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise VI.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise VII.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise VIII.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise IX.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExercise X.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSketching from Nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn Colour and Composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Law of Principality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Law of Repetition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Law of Continuity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Law of Curvature.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Law of Radiation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Law of Contrast.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Law of Interchange.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Law of Consistency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Law of Harmony. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-570079\"\u003eJohn Ruskin\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.01w x 0.29d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781535290289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1535290285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-NON\"\u003eNon-Classifiable\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-NON000000\"\u003eNon-Classifiable\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-ART\"\u003eArt\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-ART027000\"\u003eStudy \u0026amp; Teaching\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-ART\"\u003eArt\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-ART010000\"\u003eTechniques | Drawing\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42640775053549,"sku":"9781535290289","price":9.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_03b99619-dc4d-427b-a365-04c6a3a1461c.jpg?v=1649078942","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-elements-of-drawing-9781535290289","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
