Shadow Sketches.

Nature was the first artist, and a
shadow sketch was the first picture
made She is still spreading her beau
tiful designs wherever a beautiful OBJ
ject stands in the sunlight, and we are
about to learn what she can teach us
of her method. In going along country
roads and paths have you not admired
the shadows that the flowers and all
graceful plants cast on the grounds
Those of leaves and vines actually dis
play the outlines of the plants to even
better advantage than can be seen In
the objects themselves, because shad-
ows have no perspective and no shad-
ing. An easy way to arrange vase
of flowers or of leafy twigs for draw
ing is to study their shadow on wall
while the vase is slowly turned until
the shadow shows them to be suitably
placed.
AS rule objects like large leaves
and birds nests are best for simple
outlining, while delicate and compli-
Gated shadows like those cast by vines
and by most flowers are best for the
blackened surface of the silhouette.
Shadow outlines make good records
of flowers and plants il accompanied
by the usual notes on color and habit
