Leonardo Collection: Let Us Paint Roses 42 (Leonardo Collection)

Illustrations in the Leonardo Series are included to make specific points and guide the student; it would be an error to suppose that any illustrational style is offered as the main or superior method of drawing. The objective is to offer the beginner a practical guide to drawing and painting which will lead to mastery of technique. Many artists have noted that painting is not indulging in idle fantasies, but is a profession that one must carry out like a good craftsperson.
