The Natural Way to Draw: A Working Plan for Art Study

As a tutor at New York's Art Students' League, Kimon Nicolaides (1891–1938) developed a teaching system based on his contention that 'learning to draw is really a matter of learning how to see'. In a series of 64 exercises designed to be completed over a year, illustrated with works by great artists, he explains how to convey gesture, action, expression and feeling.
