ADDRESS. 
 
 In submitting these •< Lessons in Flower painting " to the public. I beg to remark, that it ha, been my object to render them a, 
 p am and practical as possible. There are few accomplishments more graceful, more innocent in their tendency, and more pleasing, than the 
 art of pan,ting Flowers after nature. I have not, however, met with any work, which, taking up the stud, in its simplest and easiest stages, 
 .as earned on the pupil to the more difficult task of grouping flowers. My endeavour has bee., to supply this want; and while I have 
 scrupu ously avoided all that is artificial, I have sought to furnish an attractive variety of subjects. Ever, copy of the book ha, been coloured 
 
 with the greatest care under my own immediate superintendence, and the facilities of lithograph, have enabled me to imitate with great 
 exactness the original drawings. 
 
 As it is my professed intention to convey instruction by example, rather than by written rules, I forbear to enter into minuthe. I 
 cannot, however, omit one or two hints which the pupil will find useful. 
 
 Draw the outlines as fine and light as possible, for which F. and H. pencils are the best. Use the Indian Iiubber very sparingly it 
 disturbs the surface of the paper. Too much stress cannot be laid on the necessity of firs, acquiring the power of correctly defining ,'he 
 outlines. To assist the student, I have in ever, case given the subject in it, first state and afterwards a, finished. I have added also 
 specimens of the tints most commonly used, and in Plates, 2, 6, 10, I have shown how great a variety may be obtained by the mixture of 
 blue, red, yellow and black. Do not begin with colours till you can draw the outlines with accuracy. Lay down the shadows with 
 neutral tint, (Plate 2, Fig. 1). leaves should be first covered over with flat tint, (Plate 2, Fig. 2). Take care the colours are very evenly 
 mixed, and, in laying them down, keep the brush full, so as to produce an easy flow. Apparent greasines, in the paper may be remedied by 
 touching the point of the brush with prepared ox gall. The best varnish for parts of flowers or leaves, is a strong clear solution of gum arabic 
 m water. Any tint ot purple is produced by mixtures of blue and carmine; greens, (except emerald,) b, blue and gamboge; browns, by 
 black lake and gamboge ; greys, by black and blue. For roses or very bright carmine tints, add a very little spirit of sal ammoniac. 
 
 I have only to add, that all outline subjects are printed on drawing paper, the pupil therefore has the opportunity of colouring 
 them to the patterns by way of practice. 
 
 I have lately published m separate sheets some more complicated groups for the use of the advanced student, they may be had 
 of the publisher of this work.
