Webster Summer School

"E. Ambrose Webster will again conduct his Summer School of Painting in quaint and picturesque Provincetown, at the tip end of Cape Cod, where as usual he will specialize on colour and sunlight effects, as applied especially to landscape, still life and portrait work, painting, in the latter case, from the living model in the open air. A studio is provided for the use of the class on rainy days. Three criticisms are given each week by Mr. Webster, two of them out of doors. There will also be lectures on colour. The unique location of Provincetown, added to the remoteness of the date of its settlement, provide unusual opportunites which are the delight of artists and art students."
