Practical water-color sketching

From dustjacket: Mr. Lutz here explains everything involved in the use of water-color for sketching, indoors and out. In addition he has several chapters on wash drawings, an increasingly important commercial field. His book is composed of chapters on color and light; the properties, qualities, and uses of water-color pigments; the materials and tools; and the technic of using the brush and water-color. "It would seem as though any one could learn the rudiments from this book.... It should prove helpful to several classes of readers; students who are supplementing the instruction received at art school with practice at home, artists and draftsmen interested in improving their technique and amateurs desirous of handling the material sufficiently well to derive real enjoyment from sketching as a pastime." -The American Magazine of Art
