Studio- Talk
Miss Urquhart adopts a method at
once quaint, decorative and distinctive,
in her charming pictures of children,
daintily gowned, and all arranged in
delightful leafy environment. She uses
vegetable parchment for her drawings,
her method being to outline first with
pen and ink and then to stipple the
colour on with a comparatively dry
brush. She proceeds slowly and thought-
fully, and a peculiarity of her method is
that she divides the sheet of parchment
into sections and then outlines and com-
pletely colours a part here and there before drawing
the other parts. Miss Urquhart groups her pictures in

a relationship of subject, method and colouring, thus
giving to them an additional decorative value ; but
a rather curious manner-
ism slightly mars some of
them—a figure is bisected
or a face half hidden by a
tree trunk or a spreading
blossom-laden branch.
Miss J. Maclaurin is
also a past student of the
Glasgow School of Art,
and during her career there
gave much attention to
bookbinding, becoming
efficient both in the actual
binding of the book and
the hand - tooling of the
cover. The example of
her work now reproduced
shows an appreciation of
the value of undecorated
spaces •—• an important
consideration in this class
of design. J. T.

its first exhibition at the

interesting work. It con-

bution from Besnard, Le

student, and readers are now enabled by
the accompanying reproductions to form
a closer acquaintance with her work.
