Her simple explanations are accompanied by illustrations of cubes, prisms, pyramids, cylinders, spheres, ovals, and cones.\nAs useful and practical today as it was when first published well over a century ago, Light and Shade provides beginning and advanced art students with valuable insights into effective drawing and sketching.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0486441431\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0486441431.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Mary P.
