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.
