Excerpt from Elements of Drawing: In Three Letters to Beginners N 0 person trained to the superficial execution of modern water colour painting, can understand the work of Titian or Leonardo, they must for ever remain blind to the refinement of such men's pencilling, and the precision of their thinking But, however slight a degree of manipulative power the student may reach by pursuing the mode recommended to him in these letters, I will answer for it that he cannot go once through the advised exercises without beginning to understand what masterly work means and, by the time he has gained some proficiency in them, he will have a pleasure in looking at the painting of the great schools, and a new perception of the exquisiteness of natural scenery, such as would repay him for much more labour than I have asked him to undergo.
