EXAMPLES OF HANDLING.
Twelve Plates of Sprigs, Flowers, Sec.
Numbered v. vi.vii. viii. ix. x.xi. xii.xiii.xiv. xv. xvi.
IT has been suggested, that certain introductory
subjects, yet more elementary than those employed
in drawing heads, would be acceptable to our
younger friends; with intention to furnish such with
proper subjects for study, we present these flowers,
wherein we have endeavoured to combine simplicity
of form, and ease of delineation, with the principles
of neatness and freedom. Of these subjects, many
are given both outlined and finished, for the greater
ease, of the learner, in order to accustom the eye to
correctness and facility ; they are adapted for copy-
ing either with a black-lead pencil, or with chalk ;
and in copying them it may be adviseaWe to draw
them three or four times larger than they are here
given, in order to acquire that freedom of hand
which such sweeps are calculated to produce.
