CONTENTS.
CHAPTER I.
INTRODUCTION.
Want of Perception the first difficulty in Sketching in Colour—Perception to be acquired
by Study and Observation—"Wlierein the tyro's sketch differs from the colours of
Nature—Forcing the effect—The study of Scene Painting a means of acquiring a know-
ledge of effect—Stanfield's facility in Sketching acquired by Scene Painting—Knowledge
necessary to decision—The method used in Block Printing a means of securing effect
rapidly — Boldness of style to he learnt from its observation—Materials used in
Sketching..............'I
CHAPTER II.
ATMOSPHERE.
A practical belief in the existence and influence of atmosphere necessary to perception—
Its different densities and their effects on local colour—The Atmosphere a veil—Abstract
knowledge blinds the Student's perception—Extremes of density in the Atmosphere—
The colour of the atmosphere changed by the sun's light, also by smoke and fog—The
effect of sunset—Evening haze—Not all effects fit for imitation—An artificial scale of
colouring necessary to brilliancy......... 19
CHAPTER III.
KEEPING.
The preservation of relative distances most important in Sketching—The Neutral Tint
system advantageous to beginners—This system employed by Turner as a means of
educating his eye—Air, space, and freshness, to be sought before colour—The Neutral
system furnishes aids to their acquirement—An illustration, with remarks on its
treatment—The system a stepping-stone to Colour, though used only for commencing
the sketch—Boldness to be aimed at—Hurry is not speed—Memory an aid to speed—
A grammar of effect necessary to rapidity of execution—Tone—Relief—The Brush
superior to the Pencil . ........27
