As far as I can judge, and I have been peculiarly fortunate in meeting many artist, the great artist would probably say:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"How do I draw? Here—give me a paint-brush\"—and if he were inclined to be brutally frank—\"don't ask me full questions; watch—this is how it is done.\" And he would proceed with a few swift strokes to paint something, at which you would gasp and feel no wiser than before. It would look perfect. It would be perfect. But how was it done? He thought, and then drew round his thought. The great artist speaks with his tools; more often than not he is a man of few words.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe are told that when a Japanese artist wishes to paint a flower he watches its growth from bud to blossom and then to seed. After a little time has elapsed he takes up his brush and paints his remembrance of the flower. Whether he could describe the manner in which he intends to paint that flower is doubtful.\u003cbr\u003eWe must think with the brush an the pencil; we must think first and then draw round our 'think.'\u003cbr\u003eI hope that this book may help you to arrange your thoughts.\u003cbr\u003eIt is but a helping hand on the broad highway that leads to the great world of art.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e***\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINTRODUCTION: A FEW TECHNICAL HINTS\u003cbr\u003eHOW TO BEGIN.
