62 CONCLUSION.
no amount of labour will be considered too great to ac-
complish this object; and the facility of execution to
which this plan will lead, will amply repay the labour of
acquiring it. The writer of this little work adopted the
plan here described, and from the benefit she has derived
from it, she thinks her time and labour well-bestowed,
and earnestly recommends it to the adoption of all who
really wish to attain eminence in art, and to acquire that
mechanical dexterity which will enable them to express
their thoughts by painting. Having thus acquired dex-
terity in the technical part of the art, the student should
go to Nature; and with a good knowledge of form, a bust
by Ins side as a guide to the light and shade, and Ins four
or five keys to the colouring, he will scarcely fail of
acquiring a considerable amount of mechanical skill. If
to the latter he unite habits of observation, and diligent
study of good pictures, he may hope, after years of patient
labour, to attain excellence in the representation of Nature.
