One of the first books of its kind, Sloane's "talk on clouds" does much more than teach you how to draw. Before the sketching even begins, he describes different types of "cloudscapes" and offers homespun techniques that help add texture and realism to cloud illustrations. Includes 110 black-and-white illustrations. Reprint of the Art Books For All, New York, 1950 edition.
