The book serves as a guide for aspiring artists, aiming to distill the principles of effective painting through practical demonstrations and examples. It focuses on foundational concepts in art, with particular emphasis on how to apply color and light to create compelling visual compositions. The beginning of the book introduces the importance of a well-directed study of art and the principles behind successful composition. Willson underscores the necessity of perseverance in honing one's skills while providing insights into methods of observation and imitation essential for artistic growth. He articulates the fundamentals of drawing and colour, providing a framework for understanding how to arrange elements in a painting to achieve the desired emotional impact and aesthetic coherence. The text suggests that the art of seeing and capturing nature contributes significantly to the artist's development, highlighting the mutual influence of observing, imitating, and learning from both the natural world and previous masters.
