Synopsis
Excerpt from Landscape Painting in Oil Colours, Explained in Letters on the Theory and Practice of the Art, and Illustrated by Examples From the Several Schools<br/><br/>IN giving a series of letters to the public, embracing a course of study confined principally to the subject of Landscape Painting, I perhaps ought to apologize for their brevity, investigating as they do the rudiments and practical working of a large field of endless variety. The apology I have to offer is a consciousness that words cannot make clear principles and peculiarities more particularly addressed to the eye, and I have therefore contented myself with drawing the student's attention to those points, both in pictures and natural imagery, on which his taste and practice must be founded. The favour my other works on the various branches of painting have found, gives me a certain confidence that this elementary book will be received with a kindly spirit. My object has been to engraft theory upon practice, as all written knowledge upon the subject must be of little avail without the means of carrying it out into practical results. I have, there fore, not only commenced with considering the subject in separate portions, but some of the details on which I have dwelt are of the humblest and most familiar character; for a tri?ing weed will frequently contain the highest elements of the art  breadth, richness of form, and a true proportion of.
