TAUBHS COPAL MEDIUMS are rc-creared from documented13th-century formulae of copal-based mediums used by the earlyFlemish masters. These mediums have never been surpassed inregards 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 toolswith surprising ease; colors attain unusual depth and brilliance,and the stability of the paint film reaches its absolute optimum.

AMERICANWATERCOLORSOCIETY'S98TH ANNUALI'hotOfiraphs Courtcxy AmericanWatercolor Society, N.Y.C.

THE Syndicate Magazines "Medal ofMerit," an attractive 2^/2" medaloffered by the Publishers of this

Magazine, was awarded in the 98th An-nual Exhibition of the American Water-color Society to Lily Saportas, for herwatercolor Cascais, an unusual view ofthis picturesque place on the rocky coastof Portugal. (The name is pronouncedkas-kaysh.)

The scene shows houses built to fit thenatural rock formations, a group of sail-boats at anchor and a few women on asmall sandy beach at the base of the rocks.Although ful ly realistic, the pattern ofrocks and structures has an almost cubisteffect with strong color contrasts. Detailsare done in calligraphic lines, eitherpainted or scratched out.

Lily Saportas has an almost uniquebackground. Her father, Charles StewartCarstairs, was connected with the inter-nationally known M. Knoedler & Co.Galleries of New York, Paris, London,and she spent a good deal of her lifeabroad. Her youngest brother was anexcellent portrait painter; her brother,Carroll, founded the noted Carstairs Gal-leries on S7th Street and also wrote poetryafter having been badly wounded a weekbefore the armistice that ended WorldWar I.

She studied at the Art Students Leaguewith Howard Trafton and Mario Cooper.She is a member of the League, the Amer-ican Watercolor Society, the EnglishSpeaking Union and a Fellow of the Royal

Society of Arts. She has exhibited at theNational Arts Club, Allied Artists ofAmerica, A.W.S., Watercolor U.S.A., andother big shows. She has a son and adaughter by her first husband, the lateAdmiral John H. Towers, U.S.N. Avia-tion. She is proud of her five grand-children.

Among her prized possessions is a Cer-tificate of Commendation dated February18, 1946, for outstanding voluntaryservices contributing to the welfare of theU.S. Navy in the Third Naval District.The "welfare" happened to be cooking(with the help of another woman) forlarge groups of hungry men of the Navy.Her second husband, Martin Saportas, wasa Lieutenant Commander in the Am-phibian Force and was wounded whenhis ship was attacked by a Kamikazenear Okinawa.

Lily Saportas has thus been involvedwith heroes as well as cuisine, art dealersas well as creative art. We are glad shereceived the Magazine's Medal of Honor.This Medal is awarded by the regularPrize Jury of the Society, with absolutelyno strings attached.

The American Watercolor Society, old-est of its kind in the U.S.A., held its98th Annual at the National Academy,1083 5th Ave., New York City, com-fortably, and in the majority of casespleasantly, filling the walls of a dozengalleries with 397 works in aqueousmedia. 98 years ago and even early inthis century, "watercolor" meant a draw-ing on a small sheet of paper carefullycolored with transparent washes. Suchpaintings were actually called "watercolordrawings".

In the first quarter of the 20th cen-

tury, American watercolorists began towork with a great deal of water runningall over the paper, seldom going beyonda sketchy stage. In England, the birth-place of watercolor, the small size andrather delicate appearance are still charac-teristic of the medium. In the UnitedStates, however, watercolor has beentightened into fully finished paintings.Many of our aquarellists work in casein,tempera, gouache, polymer and mixedmedia on large sheets of paper, in stylesand colors that vie with oil paintings inpower and the variety of subject matter.

Although the A.W.S. has a generallytraditional atmosphere, without the ex-perimental, often flashy pieces encoun-tered in other major exhibitions, the 98thAnnual contained quite a number of col-lages and abstract or semi-abstract items.Obviously, the Jury of Selection, which

This seemingly com-plicated subject can be broken downinto the cylinder, the sphere, and manyminor components. Once the broadgeneral parts have been established youcan then look for the rhythm and di-rection of line, as with the leaves.

THE ART OF DRAWING

THK overall subject teikes onone basic shape, while withinthat you can look for additionalshapes and the relationship toone another.

by Stuart HiltonIllustration* Courtesy The Grumbacher Library, N.Y.C.

ALTHOUGH certain styles of modern art, especially ab-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 paintingswithout making a regular outline drawing; this simply meansthat they draw with paint and brush, instead of with char-coal or pencil. Experienced artists can do this, especially inoil painting or polymer where changes and corrections areeasy to make. A watercolorist almost always makes a lightpencil 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 asketch or it can be carried to the highest level of artistry. Themore you draw, the greater your skill in painting will be. Itis helpful for the student to simplify what he sees into more

or less geometric shapes, such as circles, ellipses, triangles,squares.

It is easier to draw a head if you first establish its generaloutlines: oval, round, pearshaped. Even a complex humanfigure can be reduced to such simple forms. Once you havethese, it is not too difficult to add realistic details. Everyflower and fruit can also be seen as a geometric object. Whenyou draw and whatever you draw, you are compelled to ob-serve lines, shapes, directions.

The new series of books in The Grumbacher Library, pub-lished by M. Grumbacher, manufacturers of artists' supplies,contains one on The Art of Drawing. The 10J/2 by 12%-inchbook has 52 pages packed with illustrations in diverse drawingmedia, in many techniques. Trees, flowers, landscapes, per-spective, human heads, figures, hands, feet, eyes, mammals,birds are shown; materials and tools are listed and explainedwith good captions. The price of the book is $1.00 in theU. S., $1.25 in foreign countries.

ABOVE: Heads, faces are always interesting. They are mucheasier to draw if you learn how to sketch them in generalforms, rather than starting with eyes, nose, etc. Cartooningsometimes helps you understand how the different forms andplanes lit into one another.

AT LEFT: Make studies of your friends and family. Observehow the neck joins the ball of the head, how the side of thehead becomes a flat area to form a plane with the jaw. Theear joins the head at the back of the jaw at the juncture of theneck and head. Lines drawn around the ball of the head atthe eyebrow and at the bottom of the nose in whatever an piethe head tips should give you the top to bottom position of theear. In full face the top of the ear is on a line with the eye-brows and the bottom on a line with the bottom of the nose.

Finding the Secret

of the Smoothest

Transparent

Water Color

Throughout his career in creating new

and finer artist's colors, Ramon Shiva was

always willing to experiment with new ideas

and new substances that might help create

purer color and better application.

An example was his search for a better

medium for Shiva Transparent Water Colors.

Ramon Shiva worked with hundreds of

formulas in an attempt to impart optimum

smoothness and maximum color values to the

Shiva Water Colors. One important chem-

ical group whose properties can help im-

prove the consistency of water solutions, is

the sugar compounds. In analyzing their pos-

sibilities, he conducted a thorough series of

experiments with honey from various flowers,

In the honey from the flowers of the

tupelo tree, he found an ideal smoothing and

stabilizing agent. Tupelo honey, he dis-

covered, permits the greatest range of at-

tenuation, from the lightest wash to the full-

bodied color, and helps water color retain its

brilliancy after drying.

And that's why, though Tupelo honey is the

most expensive source of dextrose we have

found, it is an ingredient in Shiva Trans-

parent Water Colors. It is one reason water

colorists find the most perfect expression of

the color values they want in Shiva Trans-

parent Water Colors. It is a typical example

of the never-ending Shiva research to get

the most perfect ingredients—for this and

for every Shiva Artist's Color.

ART AS ATEACHER

OF MORALS

by Ralph FabriPhotographs by the Author

w E have three main concepts of art.First, ART FOR ART'S SAKE, whenthe artist creates something for no otherreason but to give visual satisfaction.Second, ILLUSTRATIVE ART, rangingfrom simple illustrations in children'sbooks to exquisite ones in De Luxe edi-tions of Classic literature. This popularform of art also includes Genre, the de-piction of some everyday story, and SocialRealism, often used in socio-economicp r o p a g a n d a . Third, COMMERCIALART, a huge field embracing every typeof art the purpose of which is to adver-tise goods or to promote business.

We forget that the first purpose of artwas religious. Primitive fertility figures,magnificent statues of deities, the religiouswoodcuts of the Chinese and, later, theChristian works of art were all in theservice of moral concepts. One of thelargest and most interesting enterprisesfor the promotion of religious ideas inmodern times is the T IGER BALMGARDEN in the British Crown Colonyof Hong Kong.

Mr. Aw Boon Haw built this phantas-magoric place in 1935, at great expense."The Tiger Balm King", as Mr. Aw wascalled, made a fortune with his patentmedicine, Tiger Balm, which is said to

cure coughs , colds, headaches, tooth-aches, rheumatism, neuralgia, gout, sci-atica, lumbago, sore throat, asthma, cuts,cramps, all chest troubles, scorpion andany other insect bites and all infectiousdiseases. Besides several factories for hismedicines, Mr. Aw also owned a bank inShanghai and published a dozen news-papers in various cities and states in Asia.From his fabulous income, he contributedvast sums of money to carefully selectedcharities and established two Tiger BalmGardens,—one in Singapore, one in HongKong. Both open to the public, free,every day.

The Hong Kong Garden is dominatedby a six-storied white Pagoda as tall as asixteen-story building in New York. Itis not a true pagoda, inasmuch as it doesnot contain any relic of the Buddha, butit is a striking landmark of Hong Kong,visible from very far. The eight-acre-park on a steep hillside is imaginativelylaid out with winding paths and narrowstairways leading up and down in a mostintricate manner, among natural rocksand artificial concrete grottoes, beautiful-ly trimmed trees. As you walk around,you bump into weird sculptured scenesin every nook and corner. Indeed, theentire Garden is like a colossal SpookyHouse in an Amusement Park or like thefamed Wax Museum of Mme Toussaud,with ONE tremendous difference: Theoften nightmarish sculpture-groups hereare created with the sole, noble intentionof teaching you good morals. This is nota place where you are expected to screamor giggle at the sight of ghosts and devilsand where your nerves are jarred by un-earthly sounds. Tiger Balm Garden showsyou the reward you may expect for gooddeeds and the dire consequences of evilactions.

According to Buddhist beliefs, there

AMONG beautifully trimmed trees, charming struc-tures, the vividly colored sculpture-groups thatwould seem weird, frightening or shocking to mostWesterners, help Chinese parents to show childrenthe severe punishment for evil, the reward forgood deeds.

SCULPTURED SCENES in the S-acrepark depict the Chief Executioners andthe Ten Courts of Hell of the Buddhistfaith. They also represent miraculousstories of famous personages.

10 ADVERTISED PRICES IN THIS PUBLICATION ARE SLIGHTLY HIGHER IN CANADA & WEST OF ROCKY MTS. IN U.S.A

are Ten Courts in Hell, each of themwith its own Judge, and there are fero-cious executioners. After death, a persongoes to the First Court. If he is withoutguilt (a great rari ty) , the Judge turnshim back into a human being immediate-ly. If he is guilty, he is sent to the SecondCourt and receives the proper punish-ment. As soon as that punishment iscompleted, the person moves on to theThird Court and so forth. The Judge ofthe Tenth Court examines all the recordsand decides what the person is to be inthe next life: beast, fish, snake or un-happy man. You can return to this earthas a happy human being only if you weregood in your previous existence.

The sculptured, realistically paintedgroups in Tiger Balm Garden present theThree Executioners and all the Ten Courtsof Hell, with scenes that leave no doubtin the mind of any Buddhist that a lackof filial piety, the selling of fake medi-cines, scorn for the poor and flattery ofthe rich, murder, the slaying of domesticanimals, corruption in public office, pros-titution, treachery, l y i n g and o t h e rcrimes lead to awful reprisals. Monu-mental groups represent famous histori-cal-mythological events, miracles, such asthe story of LUK TSO, a true Buddhist ,who refused to eat and drink for twenty-four years, yet continued to live. As areward, his body has never decayed andhe became a Buddha after his death. An-other lifelike statue shows LAM JACKCHU, Governor of K w a n t u n g andKwangsi. Ever since the beginning of the17th century, some unscrupulous Englishmerchants had been s m u g g l i n g largequantities of opium into China, thusmentally and physically destroying mil-lions of Chinese. Governor Lam JackChu confiscated the entire opium supplyand burnt it. This was the cause of the

It took Shiva research to find this secret;One obscure and little-understood dextrosethat makes possible the years-ahead ShivaTransparent Water Color vehicle. Thanksto th i s unique substance Shiva WaterColors now carry much the greatest pig-ment concentration of all brands.

This vehicle gives you unsurpassed qualities of permanency,brilliance and chemical s tabi l i ty . Your paintings will havecolor values as true after drying as when you applied them.Washings can be made to infinity with never a hard edge.

It took the same leadership in color chemistry to developthe many new Shiva water-color pigments. They put a richer,broader spectrum on your palette. All 50 of these colors (andthe two Shiva blacks and the white) are intermixable, perfectlycompatible, free from bleeding or staining.

Do you have an olddried-out pen kickingaround in your drawer?

We didn't make it.

A Higgins Pengraphic doesn't end uplike that. There are several reasons.

One is a technical nib with aneedle that can't fall out by accident.

Another is a holder that can be''" completely taken apart for fast,

simple, thorough cleaning.Another is nib selection. There

are 120 nibs that fit the Pengraphic.Cost? A modest $3.00 for the

holder and anywhere from $1.49to $3.95 for the Higgins nibs.

Ask for the Higgins line of nibs,inks, and cleaners. They'll help keep

the Pengraphic from ever kickingaround in your drawer. Higgins Ink
