What Is Nobler Than A Man Wresting

Beauty Is That Little Something That Fills The Whole World, And Is Contained Neither In A Single Straight Nose, A Long Eyelash, Nor A Blue Mountain. Some See It In A Leg Of Mutton, Others In A Compound Fracture; And To Expect Others To Accept One's Own Definition Of It Is As Absurd As To Expect All Humanity To Use The Same Toilet-brush.

Let Me Give You A Few Simple Rules For Learning To Draw. First, See Of What Shape The Whole Thing Is. Next, Put In The Line That Marks The Movement Of The Whole. Don't Have More Than One Movement In A Figure; You Can't Patch Parts Together. Simple Lines; Then Simple Values. Establish The Fact Of The Whole. Is It Square, Oblong, Cube, Or What Is It?

Don't Put Needless Expense Into Painting A Head! Don't Try To Match Tints! Rose And Pearly Colours Blend Into Each Other So That No One Can Unite Them If Painted Separately. Keep The Impression Of Your Subject As One Thing!

Nature Is Economical. She Puts Her Lights And Darks Only Where She Needs Them.
