The process of drawing the trees on the blackboard is thesame as with the pencil on paper, and on account of the width ofthe marks is more rapid. Mark in the mass as in Fig. lO, andthen finish as in Fig. 17. Fig. 18 represents the maple bothwith and without the foliage. Observe in the tree without thefoliage that the ends of the limbs are drawn with a lighterline. Remember, we cannot represent all details in drawing. Wecannot represent everything we see. For instance, we cannot. represent all the limbs and leaves of a tree, and it is not essentialthat we should ; but we shoidd aim to represent something. Herelet us aim to represent one, and only one essential feature — theform. If we try to represent the light and shade as well as form,we will probably fail, but if we aim at the form alone our successis almost sure. We will try to represent the tree in only oneshade or value, as it is seen when between the observer and thelight, or as it appears on a cloudy, foggy, smoky, or hazy 19 to 24 are examples.
