Cours complet de peinture a l'huile : l'art, la science, le metier du peintre
A French painting manual by Ernest Hareux, published in Paris by Librairie Renouard and H. Laurens in 1900, aimed at students learning oil painting. Its plates are finely hatched black-and-white engravings of landscapes, a still life of a jug, glass and bowl on cloth, and a row of apples, showing how tone and form are built with line. A designer might take from them the dense parallel-hatching technique for modelling light and shadow, and the quiet, low-contrast tonal range of rural scenes.
