Affording an unusual opportunity for artists and others who wish to learn something about the basic mechanical principles of painting, Karl Zerbe will give a series of lectures on Monday evenings throughout March at the Fine Arts Guild on Mt. Auburn Street, on the general Subject of "The Craft of Painting".
Designed especially for painters who wish to develop the art of making their own materials and mixing their own colors, the course will deal with such topics as canvas grounds, sizing and priming materials, tempers painting, the art of gouache and water color, mixed techniques, and varnishing.
Mr. Zerbe is especially well-fitted to give a course of this kind, having been trained as a chemist before he took up the study of painting. He studied at Munich, and was a member of the famous "group of seven" in that city before coming to the United States two years ago.
At that time he held a very successful exhibition at the Marie Sterner gallery in New York, beside showing some of his work at the Germanic Museum here, and attracted the attention of the fine Arts Guild.
