TAUBHS COPAL MEDIUMS are rc-creared from documented
13th-century formulae of copal-based mediums used by the early
Flemish masters. These mediums have never been surpassed in
regards to permanence, or for adaptability to various techniques.
Whether in high impasti or in thinnest gla/.es, paints, condi-
tioned by copal media, respond to the bidding of the artist's tools
with surprising ease; colors attain unusual depth and brilliance,
and the stability of the paint film reaches its absolute optimum.
You will find the whole story in ;i 30-page interesting
and authoritative treatise by Frederic Taubes. It's free

offered by the Publishers of this

color Society to Lily Saportas, for her
watercolor Cascais, an unusual view of
this picturesque place on the rocky coast
of Portugal. (The name is pronounced
kas-kaysh.)
The scene shows houses built to fit the
natural rock formations, a group of sail-
boats at anchor and a few women on a
small sandy beach at the base of the rocks.

rocks and structures has an almost cubist
effect with strong color contrasts. Details

LTHOUGH certain styles of modern art, especially ab-
A stract-expressionism, do not seem to demand any knowl-
edge of drawing, most artists, modern as well as tradi-
tional, must know how to draw. Drawing is still the founda-
tion of all the fine arts. Some artists start their paintings
without making a regular outline drawing; this simply means
that they draw with paint and brush, instead of with char-
coal or pencil. Experienced artists can do this, especially in
oil painting or polymer where changes and corrections are
easy to make. A watercolorist almost always makes a light
pencil layout before he starts to paint in order to avoid hard-
to-correct mistakes.
Drawing can be done in pencil, charcoal, crayon, pen-and-
ink, feltbrush and fine-pointed brushes. It can be left as a
sketch or it can be carried to the highest level of artistry. The
more you draw, the greater your skill in painting will be. It
is helpful for the student to simplify what he sees into more
