PREFACE.
The difficulty experienced by the writer of this little
Work in her early practice of Portrait Painting in Water"-
Colours, induced her to think that a few practical direc-
tions would be useful, especially to those students who
are unable to obtain the advantages of regular instruc-
tions in painting.
The writer has endeavoured to acquire from various
sources the best information on the subject, and has also
endeavoured to show that the instructions laid down are
founded upon the solid principles which were carried out
in the practice of the best masters. It will give .her
unfeigned pleasure to think, that in facilitating the attain-
ment of mechanical skill, her little manual may lead the
way to the study of this interesting portion of the art.
