The Craft of Old Master Drawings

Watrous, James

This volume is both a manual for contemporary artists and a historical work covering the period from the late Middle Ages to the mid-20th century. It presents the old masters' techniques and provides specific directions for making inks, styluses, reed and quill pens, and fabricated chalks, as well as instructions for preparing grounds for metalpoint drawings. It comprises a body of knowledge that should be useful to artists, students of art history, curators, and collectors.
