About This Item
1829 John Smith ART of Drawing Oil Painting English Still Life Landscape Color
'The Art of Painting' is a rare 17th-century treatise on painting with oils by English clockmaker John Smith. This work was an immensely popular work throughout the end of the 17th-century into the mid-1700s. In fact, it went through a number of editions through the end of Smith's lifetime.
While the title would suggest this is merely a work from an artistic view, it covers a variety of topics including how to work with gold and silver gilding. Other topics include
· How to mix oils
· Achieving correct color
· Oil paint preservation
· Proper use of tools
· Painting landscapes and still life
