This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Specimens of the Drawings of Ten Masters, From the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle: Michelangelo, Perugino, Raphael, Julio Romano, Leonardo Da Vinci, Giorgine, Paul Veronese, Poussin, Albert Dürer, Holbein In more highly-wrought drawings, yet more of the master is seen. We learn his manner of working; we are admitted in silence to his studio, and can watch the growth and development of his thought. At times a succession of drawings of the same subject, more and more elaborated, carries us with him, from a first germ to the completed work; and by comparing them with each other, we can trace the progress of his mind in the expansion and realization of his design. At times all this may be seen in a single drawing, and the changes he has made may be discovered beside and beneath his finished performance. Examples of this will be met with afterwards, and will be noticed as they occur. Nor do we learn less Of the artists from observing their favourite methods of manipulation. Some employ by preference pen and ink; and some of these affect fine and hair-like lines, whilst others indulge in coarse and bold strokes this artist will produce his effects by straight lines and cross-hatchings, whilst another will use delicately-curved model ling-lines, and another yet will resort to the brush, and attain his end by the judicious application of washes. Some employ nothing but the brush, both for outlines and effects; others, again, find in the varied powers of the crayon the best means of expressing their thoughts; and others attain the same end by the use Of the exquisite and tender silver point. Many employ tinted grounds and several colours, and enhance the effect of the high lights with white. Not a few combine several processes in one drawing. And in fact the study of drawings, in this aspect alone, is the study of the characters and moods of the masters.
