     summary: But the steadying influence and discipline of line work were never more necessary to the student. These and many things connected with expression can best be studied in line work.

     summary: Through _F_, where _PS_ intersects _MK_, draw _AV_ till it cuts the horizon in _V_, its vanishing point. Suppose we wish to draw a fireplace or a piece of furniture _K_, we measure its base _ef_ on _AB_, as far from _B_ as we wish it to be in the picture; draw _eo_ and _fo_ to point of sight, and proceed as in the previous figure by drawing parallels from _Oo_, &c. Let it be observed that the great advantage of this method is, that we can use it to measure such distant objects as _XY_ just as easily as those near to us.

     summary: (_Race between_ LILY _and_ ISABEL.) (_Re-enter_ ISABEL _with the box, very much out of breath. You may, perhaps be surprised, when I tell you, that (putting the question of _subject_ aside for the moment, and speaking only of the mode of execution and aim at resemblance), you have there a perfect example of the Greek ideal of method in sculpture.

     summary: Every hue throughout your work is altered by every touch that you add in other places; so that what was warm a minute ago, becomes cold when you have put a hotter color in another place, and what was in harmony when you left it, becomes discordant as you set other colors beside it; so that every touch must be laid, not with a view to its effect at the time, but with a view to its effect in futurity, the result upon it of all that is afterwards to be done being previously considered. In distant effects of rich subject, wood, or rippled water, or broken clouds, much may be done by touches or crumbling dashes of rather dry color, with other colors afterwards put cunningly into the interstices.

     summary: Nor does it appear that the gigantic dimensions, and high state of perfection, which Process illustration has reached, in any way represents the limit of its possibilities in either respect. While many methods of illustration _may_ be learned and practised in a mechanical manner, the course is beset with difficulties and pitfalls, and, to the artistically unlearned, the alternative dangers of gross error and sheer imitation are ever present.

     summary: The nose keeps it off from great part of the mouth, and the chin from the neck, and such other parts. From this effect it often happens that a high tower, seen at a great distance, will appear broad at top, and narrow at bottom; because the thin air towards the top does not prevent the angles on the sides and other different parts of the tower from being seen, as the thick air does at bottom.
