These are pages I worked on last year from old books of W.H.J. Boot, Eugène Chevreul, Faber Birren, Arthur Guptill, John Ruskin and one called ‘the sketcher’s manual’ by Frank Howard which gives a few pointers on how to arrange lights and darks in a composition. You can read them for free at Hathitrust.org or Archive.org
I just discovered your blog, and I have recently started one of my own. I think I can learn a lot from you, particularly how thoroughly you study drawing and composition and work in your journal. I need to go back and read your earlier posts, but of course I will be very much looking forward to all that you add here. Thank you for sharing!

This is really serious studying! My students, however, mostly use a very natural and very relaxed approach: we are exploring colors and their combinations, but we are also paying the most attention to how we are seeing things. It’s very amazing to see how you are journaling all new skills. Good luck with your current projects!
