A course of water-colour painting

Leitch, R. P. (Richard Pettigrew) · 1880 · London ; New York : Cassell · 20 pictures

A late nineteenth-century London and New York instruction manual on watercolour painting, written by Richard Pettigrew Leitch and published by Cassell in 1880 for students learning to paint. Its plates are hand-coloured landscape studies of rocks, water, willows and grassy banks, offering a designer quiet, naturalistic reference for foliage, rock forms and soft wash skies.
