2023 Reprint of the 1914 Edition.  Originally published as Light and Shade: Prepared Especially for Home Study. Also reprinted as Light, Shade and Shadow.  Even the most beautiful drawing can appear flat without shading. But with this expert guide, every artist can learn how to use shadow to add visual dimension and drama to their work, and to master techniques such as highlighting and gradation. Beginning with the basics--casting light on simple geometric shapes--and progressing to the human figure, these step-by-step techniques, illustrations, and exercises can show artists of all abilities how to achieve a new level of depth in their work.

During the first half of the twentieth century E. L Koller wrote a series of art instruction books for home study, designed to simplify various techniques for beginning artists and help established artists polish their craft. These manuals continue to serve as valuable guides to artists.
