The book is divided into 15 chapters, and as the title suggests, it is planned as a 15-days course wherein all the relevant aspects of drawing and painting have been explained in simple and lucid language with hundreds of illustrations and diagrams. The students while pursuing the course will gradually learn the importance of lines -- thin, thick, straight, dotted, curved, zigzag, horizontal, cross, slanting, etc. They will appreciate the role of shape, light, texture, balance, harmony, contrast, rhythm, tone, emphasis, span, colors, etc. They will develop a perspective and a point of view and will be able to distinguish between light and highlight, shade and shadow. The book, it is hoped, will be found useful by all those persons, young or old, professionals or amateurs, who have some taste, love for art and artistic creations.
