FLOWER DRAWING. 



PRACTICAL DIRECTIONS FOR LEARNING FLOWER-DRAW- 

 ING. By PATRICK STOE, Flower-Painter, Edinburgh, Ele^ntly 

 printed in one Volume. Royal 4to. and illustrated by 12 beautifully Co- 

 loured Drawings and six Outlines of Flowers. Price ll. 5s. boards. 



** The Publisher of this beautiful Work flatters himself that it will be 

 found one of the most complete Treatises on this Branch of Drawing ever 

 offered to the Public. Its superiority over those hitherto published on Flow- 

 er Drawihg will be seen at once, from the Beauty of the Drawings, the me- 

 thodical arrangement of the directions, and the clear manner in which they 

 are conveyed. 



The Flowers being selected with the greatest care as tp simplicity and 

 elegance of form, beauty and variety of colours, will be found equally useful 

 to beginners* and to those who are advanced in the art. By studying them 

 with care, the taste will be gradually improved, and the pupil led at last to 

 draw fiv.^i Nature, the ultimate end of teaching and of learning tue art of 

 ~ ft is allowed, that by looking at objects accurately copied from 



ature, the taste is formed, and afterwards refined, by which the eye per- 

 ceives beauties in Nature which escape a common observer, and thus we 

 acquire a relish for innocent and rational pleasures formerly unknown. This 

 elegant and useful work the publisher is convinced will tend greatly towards 

 the attainment of these desirable objects.
