Text Appearing Before Image:
at constitute the elements in a picture. Never leave much light in a picture. Let it gradu-ally fade. — When you see a picture, think of its plan. Have high light lighter than thebackground, and shadow darker than background. This is the highest form of representation.The dark side of a picture can have a lighter background. — There is something in colorapart from form.

Her mother, overhearing this variation, asked what she was doing, and received thereply: Why, I m whistling, so that I can draw. Dr. Rimmer whistles when he draws ! In his nature the domestic as well as the artistic traits were strongly developed, and in somerespects they were antagonistic to one another, while in others they were in beautiful harmony.He desired very much to see the art and the great artists of the Old Wor
