About this ebook
This is a guide by Marie Elizabeth Cave outlining her own personal method for drawing from memory. Presented in the form of a series of letters, this interesting and personal volume is highly recommended for all with an interest in drawing, and it would make for a valuable addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Drawing without a Master", "The Vocation", "The True Teacher", "Drawing from Memory", "Observations", "Perspective", "Lights and Shades", "Method of Shading", "Female Artists", "Composition", "Composition-Originality", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on drawing and illustration. This book was first published in 1851.
