"Lessons in Art" is a fantastic vintage guide to drawing and illustration written by Hume Nisbet. James Hume Nisbet (1849 - 1923) was a Scottish-born artist and novel writer famous for his thrillers set in Australia. Contents include: "Drawing Materials", "Perpendicular, Horizontal and Slanting Lines", "Ornamental Drawing", "Drawing from Nature", "Rules of Perspective", "Measuring Tree- Work, &c", "Proportions of the Human Figure", "On Shading", "Charcoal Drawing", "Pen and Ink Etching", etc. Other notable works by this author include: "The Land of the Hibiscus Blossom: A Yarn of the Papuan Gulf" (1888), "Doctor Bernard St. Vincent: A Sensational Romance of Sydney" (1889), and "Ashes: A Tale of Two Spheres" (1890). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on drawing and illustration.
