The Canterville Ghost and Other Stories
|
Dover Publications
|
Автор: Wilde Oscar
Издательство: Dover Publications, 2008
|
PDF, 80 страниц, 2.40 МБ
|
Renowned for his poetry, plays, essays, and conversational skills, Oscar Wilde also wrote delightfully entertaining works of short fiction. This volume contains four of his finest. Most celebrated is The Canterville Ghost, a delightfully comical tale centering around the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville, who for some 300 years has terrorized the residents and employees of Canterville Chase. When the house is bought by the Otises, an American family that refuses to believe in such supernatural nonsense, hilarious results ensue. Also included here are The Sphinx Without a Secret, about an enigmatic woman who carries the key to a mystery with her to the grave; The Model Millionaire, the charming story of a delightful, ineffectual young man with a perfect profile and no profession; as well as Lord Arthur Savile's Crime. Rounding out the volume are Wilde's lyrical Poems in Prose, including The Artist, The Doer of Good, The Disciple, and 3 more. These diverting stories offer the wit, whimsy, and imaginative gusto of one of the 19th century's most scintillating masters of the English language.

Perspective for Painters
|
Dover Publications
|
Автор: Etter
Издательство: Dover Publications, 2013
|
DOC, 144 страницы, 1.00 МБ
|
knowledge of perspective is invaluable to any painter working in a realistic style. Systems of perspective can be applied by mechanical techniques or by freehand. Since the best approach for the beginner is to learn basic mechanical drawing methods, the reader is shown how to work out these systems with drafting tools. Once these are understood, they can be applied to freehand work, so that the artist has a great deal of control when representing objects in space. The book demonstrates the essentials of perspective drawing through the use of colour sketches and overlays, accompanied by finished paintings. This system is then applied to actual in-the-field painting situations that cover a broad range of subjects: landscape, still life, interiors, figures, and portraits. Authors Howard Etter and Margit Malmstrom, both working artists, present this often intimidating subject in a non-threatening manner especially geared to the beginning or intermediate artist. Howard Etter is a painter, architectural delineator, and design consultant. He has had extensive experience teaching perspective for both architects and artists. Margit Malmstrom is the author of three Watson-Guptill titles on clay sculpture.
