Excerpt from A Handbook for Painters and Art Students on the Character, Nature, and Use of Colours, Their Permanent, or Fugitive Qualities, and the Vehicles Proper to Employ: With an Appendix, Giving Permanent Hues and Tints; Also Short Remarks on the Practice of Painting in Oil and Water Colours The present Handbook is intended to supply, in a ready and conc18e form, what is required in this direction. The durability of a picture ought to be a matter of conscientious consideration with every painter. If he does not employ ordinary precaution in order to prevent, or modify those changes which may take place in his works, sooner or later, after they leave his hands, he is to a great extent responsible, if not indeed culpable. The purchasers of pictures rarely consider this question. It therefore becomes all the more impera tive on the painter's part, that he should thoroughly deal with it as a necessary part of his education and practice, or 111 Ignorance he may lay himself open to the charge Of supplying to his patron, that which he did not bargain for. It is frequently discovered that the work which has been so well paid for in many cases, is visibly deteriorating every year, and almost every day. Suggestions are Offered in this manual on various other matters connected with the practice Of art. They have grown out of many years' experience as a painter, as well as a long intercourse with students. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
