Errors Accumulate In The Sketch And Compound

The Greatest Work Of An Artist Is The History Of A Painting.

The Picture Will Have Charm When Each Color Is Very Unlike The One Next To It.

Beauty Is The Adjustment Of All Parts Proportionately So That One Cannot Add Or Subtract Or Change Without Impairing The Harmony Of The Whole.

It Is Very Rarely Granted Even To Nature Herself To Produce Anything Absolutely Perfect In Every Part.

I Will Never Tire Of Recommending The Custom, Practiced By The Best Architects, Of Preparing Not Only Drawings And Sketches, But Also Models Of Wood Or Any Other Material. These... Enable Us To Examine... The Work As A Whole... And, Before Continuing Any Further, To Estimate The Likely Trouble And Expense.
