THE ART OF DRAWING AND PAINTING

8. The Art which I have studied and practiced, the Art in which I am

giving instruction, is that of Drawing and Painting.

By the Art of Drawing and Painting I mean expression in pigment-tones

(values, colors, intensities of color) spread in different measures

or quantities and in different shapes: shapes being differences of

character given to a line by its straightness or curvature, to a spot

or area by its outline or contour. By Drawing and Painting I mean,

therefore, expression by lines and spots of paint.
