The Picture Will Have Charm When Each

Beauty Is The Adjustment Of All Parts Proportionately So That One Cannot Add Or Subtract Or Change Without Impairing The Harmony Of The Whole.

There Is No Art Which Has Not Had Its Beginnings In Things Full Of Errors. Nothing Is At The Same Time Both New And Perfect.

The Arts Are Learnt By Reason And Method; They Are Mastered By Practice.

Practice By Drawing Things Large, As If Equal In Representation And Reality. In Small Drawings Every Large Weakness Is Easily Hidden; In The Large, The Smallest Weakness Is Easily Seen.

Painting Is Possessed Of Divine Power, For Not Only Does It Make The Absent Present, But Also Makes The Dead Almost Alive.
