c1912 ROSES and How To Paint Them Book Catherine Klein Illustrated D. M. Campana Near Fine Condition

The Chapters inside include wonderful instructions on painting as such: Roses. Drawing. Petals. Light and Shadow. Form. Method. General Effects. Leaves. Water Color Painting. Pink Roses. Dark Roses. Yellow Roses. White Roses. China Painting. Oil Painting. Fresco Painting, Tempera or Gouche. Pastels. Silk Painting.

The illustrations are wonderful, most of the rose "parts" are taken from Catherine Klein studies, as the leaves and buds are very recognizable. The back still has the old tissue paper that could be used to trace studies in the book.

It is in near fine condition, probably read, then put aside on a shelf, as it's really in wonderful condition. It is a softbound stapled book, 7.5 x 10 inches. The back cover looks as if something was laid across it a long time ago, creating a shadow, not detracting, but mentioned for accuracy.

We do welcome all book layaways, so have a peek in our shop for more great rose-related books, where you can always combine them to save postage.
