From The Introduction
The study of Painting as an Art is based on three considerations - Form, Light and Shade, and Colour. The first is fully developed in the "Freehand Drawing Book, " In which are given careful studies of Landscape details, Figure, Shipping, Animals, &c. The second forms the subject of the present two volumes, in hich the students are taught the use of the brush, he management, first of a single colour, and subsequently. of an additional tint; and are thus prepared, by carefully arranged gradations, to enter on a course of Water Colour painting, given in another book in this series.

This ebook, like the others by R. P. Leitch, is a facsimile of an original book which was printed using a method called continuous tone printing. The effect of the plates is similar to silkscreen printing, but printed with transparent inks. The final product closely approximates the look of an actual water color painting and gives the artist and printer great control over the look and over the finished product.
