Generations of students have benefited from the teachings of this 19th-century master, who sought always to \"produce as near a likeness to Nature, in every respect, as the instrument, or material employed, will admit of; not so much by bona fide imitation, as by reviving in the mind those ideas which are awakened by a contemplation of Nature . . . The renewal of those feelings constitutes the true purpose of Art.\"This volume consists of direct reproductions of Harding's sketches of vignettes from natural settings. Each is accompanied by a series of lessons emphasizing both practical and theoretical considerations. The edition features the added attraction of 23 outstanding plates from the author's Lessons on Trees.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525162271008,"sku":"NEW0486442934","price":20.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/A1tPdZTwvgL_6ccd0a12-c477-434c-859b-ada44bb56e54.jpg?v=1777142576","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/on-drawing-trees-and-nature-a-classic-victorian-manual-dover-art-instruction-0486442934","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
