Howard Pyle
Fortunately r am able to give yoti gt in his own words, the genera theory of approach used by Howard as It was given out to liis students, It has been copicd and handed down From artists of one generation to another. I must frankly admit that it has passed through many hands so there is nothing to verify its absolute authenticity, but in substance it is as Fy o himself wrote it down. My copy was give to me some twenty years ago I cannot now recall by whom, Since Pyle has been revered as the...

The Brittle Approach
When things arc in a sharp strong light, or when the subject itself seems to caJl for a certain crisp or brittle quality, T want you to be able to think in these t lt rcns Usually this sharpness would be in subjects of good contrast, using plenty of good lights and darlcs. Here we have 1 brunette in a black-and-white striped dress. The dress is perky and the stripes give it snap. I just can't see this subject painted in mystery and softness. So we put the blade hair against practically a white,...
The Soft Approach
This is a delightful way to paint. It is closely allied with the big tone approach. However, instead of painting the large tones in to a shaip edge and softening them later, the large tortus are set in and immediately softened. The surface detail is added then to the soft tones in overpainting while the paint is wet. The edges are defined where needed, leaving the general softness as desired. This is one of the best ways to combat hardness or tightness in painting Tightness comes from small...
The Big Tone Approach
chose to call this approach the big tons approach, for that is exactly what it is It could just as well be named the pattern approach Wc shall aim to set down the big tonal patterns of our subject as simply as possible. Pattern after all, big-tone effect, one area opposed lo another in value and all working togedier to produce some .sort of a design. Then k really design, either good or bad, whenever we put areas of variable tones together, it dawns on us as paititers that the cfTect of the...
