Drawing from Memory - The Cave Method for Learning to Draw

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.
