The illustration also shows how to make the more distant leaves look fartheraway than the nearer leaves, etc., etc. Encourage additional sketching of similar subjects whenever pupils are founddisposed to undertake it.

Lead pupils to notice that in drawing such an objectas the sailor hat the effect is made much more pleasing by merely suggesting the fineinterweaving of the straw than it could have been by laboriously setting down everystrand. But distinguish clearly between this sketchy treatment and a carelessslovenly treatment. Only a itw lines are used to suggest the braids that make u]jthe flat brim, but these itw lines indicate perfectly the curve of the braid. Theywere not marked in at random, but were carefully studied.
