L. BALDRY - - EDITED BY GEOFFREY HOLME - LONDON: THE STUDIO, LTD., 44 LEICESTER SQ., W.C. 2 - MCMXXII - - - - -FOREWORD BY A. L. BALDRY - - -When an artist is beyond question a master of his craft it is always -particularly interesting to hear what he has to say about the principles -by which his art is controlled and the methods he employs in his -practice. It is, of course, in his work, in the things he creates, that -he gives the complete expression of his convictions and that the full -product of his experience is embodied, but by the aid of words he is -able not only to declare the intention by which his expression has been -directed but also to explain the technical processes which have enabled -him to arrive at his results. His creed, once set down in writing, is -made permanently available for the guidance of all who study his work -and seek to realise his purpose; the statement of his methods becomes an -enduring record to which those who come after him can refer when they -wish to understand the manner of his production. - -In this way, indeed, the educational value of the master’s precepts is -maintained indefinitely. Even after his personal and living influence -has been withdrawn his authority persists and his teaching remains -active, because in all its essentials it is still within the student’s -reach. Fashions in art may vary from time to time, but its fundamental -principles do not change and the exposition of these principles which -has served one generation is just as helpful to another. - -Therefore, such a book as this “Treatise on Landscape Painting and -Effect in Water Colours, from the first rudiments to the finished -picture,” by David Cox, deserves as ready an acceptance to-day as it -received when it was first published more than a century ago. David Cox -is justly counted among the greater British masters--that can scarcely -be disputed--he was also a teacher of very wide experience and he knew -well how to enable others to profit by the knowledge he had accumulated. -It was the fruit of this experience that he gathered in his “Treatise,” -and it was in response to a demand from the people who were best able to -judge the quality of his teaching that he undertook the preparation of -the book. “The urgent and repeated solicitations of many of his pupils,” -he says in his foreword, “have induced the author of this work to submit -to the public those results which are the result of many years’ study, -and which may guide the student in the selection of appropriate effects -of nature, adapted to the different characters of landscape -composition.” - -That in referring to “urgent and repeated solicitations” he was not -using a mere figure of speech is likely enough, for in those days plenty -of people wanted to be taught and the master who knew his business was -very much in request. Drawing and water-colour painting were reckoned as -elegant accomplishments which formed a necessary part of a polite -education, and there was not only a host of amateurs who were ready to -learn but a number of professional students as well with a real desire -to become proficient in a new and attractive form of practice in which -art patrons and collectors were showing themselves to be much -interested. The official type of art school with which we are familiar -to-day was almost non-existent--or at all events there were few such -places available for the amateur--so the private teacher had to supply -the deficiency and to assume a position of considerable responsibility. -However, it cannot be disputed that he filled this position in a way -that brought him credit and that what he had to do was done with marked -efficiency. - -Certainly, the students then had privileges which we to-day can justly -envy. They were extraordinarily fortunate in their teachers, for they -were able to obtain instruction from some of the greatest masters whom -this country has produced. Turner, De Wint, Cotman and David Cox, and -many other men of distinction who were their contemporaries were -actively engaged in teaching during some part of their lives and by -their genius and experience they raised greatly the standard of popular -taste and fostered a feeling for art in social circles. Moreover, by -their practice and precept they developed the new art of painting in -water colours from a tentative and timid form of expression into -something splendidly robust and full of brilliant possibilities. - -It may, perhaps, seem a matter for regret that an artist of rare -capacities, like David Cox, should have apparently wasted in the -drudgery of teaching so much of the time which he might have employed to -advantage in following his profession as a painter. But by his work as a -drawing-master he not only created a public which learned eventually to -show an effective appreciation of his productions, but he also helped on -a movement which was of benefit to others as well as himself. If the art -in which he excelled had been taught only by the less competent men it -would scarcely have secured so quickly such a large measure of -recognition; it was the ability of the teachers to prove how great were -its possibilities that ensured its acceptance and established its -authority. - -Still, it must be admitted that many of these men whom we now rank as -masters became teachers from necessity rather than choice. At the end of -the eighteenth century it was often difficult for a young artist to earn -a living; pictures fetched low prices and the demand for them was -uncertain, so he had to seek out other sources of income. Teaching, -badly paid as it was, was a very real help and the man who could secure -a good connection in schools and among private pupils was able to -maintain himself while he was waiting to find buyers for his works. If -the patrons failed to appear he remained a teacher to the end of his -days, counting himself fortunate if he was able to hold his own against -the competition of younger men who were ready to oust him from his -place. - -David Cox was decidedly one of those who were forced into teaching by -circumstances, for he was born of humble parents and had from early life -to make his way in the world by his own exertions. He had during his -childhood some small amount of art training and when he was barely -seventeen he began to work as a scene-painter, first in Birmingham, -where he was born, and afterwards in London. But even then he was a -serious student of nature with ambitions to become a landscape painter, -and soon after he came to London he took the opportunity to get some -lessons from John Varley in water-colour painting. In this new art he -made such satisfactory progress that he gave up his theatrical work, -devoting himself, instead, to landscape painting and teaching. Even then -he was only twenty-two and he had still much to learn to fit himself for -the career on which he was entering; but so assiduous was he in his -study of nature and so consistent in his effort to acquire a full -command of technical processes that he was able at the age of thirty--in -1813--to secure election as a member of the Society of Painters in Water -Colours. This election can be taken as evidence that he was already -regarded by his fellow-artists as a man of some distinction in his -profession. But the same year brought other evidences of his growing -success, for it saw his appointment as drawing-master in the Military -Academy at Farnham, and also the issue of the first parts of his -“Treatise on Landscape Painting,” in which he was able to talk about the -“repeated solicitations” of his pupils and to imply that his position as -a teacher was one which justified him in speaking with authority about -matters of technical practice. - -Yet, with what he might regard as a fairly established place in the -world he was by no means relieved from his struggles for existence. He -had advanced, it is true, beyond the stage when he was glad to get a -couple of guineas a dozen for the drawings which he sold to dealers, but -his smaller works still fetched only a few shillings and a large one not -more than five or six pounds. It was necessary for him to work very hard -and to practise the strictest economy to maintain himself and his wife -and child, and it was impossible for him to do without the earnings -which teaching brought him. It was probably for this reason that in -1814, when he gave up his post at the Military Academy because he felt -the work there to be unsuited to him, he left London and settled in -Hereford, where teaching engagements in schools and private families -were plentiful and where he was able to take in pupil-boarders. - -At Hereford he remained for nearly fourteen years, but he visited London -annually and he made periodical sketching excursions to different parts -of the British Isles and occasionally abroad. Eventually he returned to -London and lived at Kennington until 1841, when he moved once again, -this time to Harbourne, a suburb of his native town, Birmingham, where -he died in 1859. Slowly but surely he built up his reputation, more -slowly still he increased his income and added to his savings, but it -was not until his final departure from London that he was able to free -himself from his responsibilities as a teacher and to devote the whole -of his energies to painting. - -Indeed, the move to Harbourne was made partly to obtain leisure for -practice in oil painting, as he had conceived a somewhat sudden desire -to acquire a mastery of that medium. He had used oils many years before, -but for sketches rather than finished pictures; the ambition to achieve -more in this direction came to him about 1839, when he made the -acquaintance of W. J. Muller and watched that extraordinarily skillful -painter at work. Cox, who was then a man of fifty-six, became a sort of -pupil of the younger artist and accepted hints from him with -characteristic humility--he is reported to have said on one occasion -during a technical demonstration, “You see, Mr. Muller, I can’t paint.” - -However, if such a remark were justifiable in 1839, it was certainly -subject to considerable modification very few years later, for Cox, once -started in the right direction, developed quickly into an oil painter of -unquestionable distinction. He never, perhaps, reached quite the same -degree of proficiency which he had attained in water colours, but he did -work which was worthy of him and he added many fine canvases to the -series which generation by generation has been built up by the masters -of British landscape. Fortunately, he did not devote the whole of his -time to pursuit of new methods, indeed, to this final period of his life -belong some of the greatest of his water-colour paintings--possibly -practice with oils heightened his keenness of vision and increased the -strength with which he handled the more delicate medium, and no doubt -freedom from distractions enabled him to work more deliberately and with -closer concentration. - -If Cox’s career is judged by the conventional money standard it would be -scarcely possible to say that he achieved success, for at no time were -his earnings large--he is said to have only once received £100 for a -picture--and the small competence which he amassed in his later years -would have seemed merely poverty to anyone less modest and -simple-minded. But if he is measured by the true standard, of -accomplishment, he can be reckoned as successful in the highest degree. -His paintings are distinguished by an exquisite perception of the great -facts of nature and by a consistent significance of interpretation, they -have a most attractive individuality, and their technical mastery is -exceptionally convincing--they put him definitely among the leaders of -the British school. As a teacher he had a wide and wholesome influence -because he sought to impress upon his pupils his own sincere belief that -nature is and always must be the right source of an artist’s -inspiration, and because he tried to make them devout and serious -students like himself. - -It was essentially from the standpoint of the landscape painter that he -approached his teaching. His “Treatise” was intended to guide the -student “in the selection of appropriate effects of nature,” or in other -words, to point the way to a proper understanding of nature’s -subtleties. Cox did not believe in an easy and convenient formula; he -did not use one himself and he had no wish to impose it upon others. In -this his attitude was partly temperamental and partly, no doubt, due to -the fact that, unlike many of his contemporaries, he did not spend his -earlier years in learning the conventions of the topographical -draughtsman--he was a translator and an interpreter, not merely a -copyist, and although his interpretation was eminently a true one, its -truth appeared in his realisation of the great fundamentals, not in the -laborious statement of local trivialities. He expressed this himself on -one occasion when the committee of the Water-Colour Society had -complained that some paintings of his were “too rough”--he wrote, “They -forget that these are the work of the mind, which I consider very far -before portraits of places.” - -This faith that painting should be the work of the mind, and of a mind -so stored with impressions of nature that it would be able infallibly to -recognise what was the way in which each aspect of nature should be -treated, is very clearly demonstrated in his “Treatise.” Read between -the lines of its practical advice the book, indeed, is an eloquent -assertion of a master’s creed, and as such it is instructive not only to -the student who wishes to profit by its technical hints but also to the -judges of art who are anxious to appreciate the principles of which -David Cox and his greater contemporaries were masterly exponents. - -There is much in the text that explains these principles and defines the -manner in which they should be applied. For instance, when Cox dwells -upon “the necessity of becoming thoroughly acquainted with, and of -obtaining a proper feeling of, the subject,” and when he says that “the -picture should be complete and perfect in the mind before it is even -traced upon the canvas,” he is simply advocating that first and most -vital essential in all artistic effort, accurate and intelligent -observation. - -Again, when he insists that “in the selection of a subject from nature -the student should ever keep in view the principal object which induced -him to make the sketch,” and adds that “the prominence of this leading -feature in the piece should be duly supported throughout; the character -of the picture should be derived from it; every other subject introduced -should be subservient to it; and the attraction of the one should be the -attraction of the whole,” he is only pointing out the necessity for -orderly and logical design. His arguments, too, that the sentiment of -the subject should be reflected in the manner of its treatment, that -“such force and expression should be displayed as would render the -effect, at the first glance, intelligible to the observer,” and that the -right relation should be scrupulously maintained between the leading -object in the composition and the less prominent accessories, are wholly -inspired by the belief that a sense of balance and proportion are as -indispensable to the student as the power to see and to think about what -he sees. - -Further, what he has to say about the need for exactness in the -preparatory stages of a painting is most significant, as it shows how -much importance he attached to systematic accomplishment and steady -progression from one stage of the work to another. But here also the -foundation must be observation--the student “must possess a clear -conception of his subject” because upon that depends the perfection of -his outline, and “it will be necessary for him to be particular in his -designation of the outline” because only in that way will he be able to -proceed to his own satisfaction and convey a definite and correct idea -to the observer. Cox very rightly claims that “he who devotes his time -to the completion of a perfect outline, when he has gained this point, -has more than half finished his piece: while the author of a slovenly -outline creates for himself an infinity of trouble, in order to avoid -additional errors in the colouring of his subjects: and after all his -efforts, finds it impossible to produce a picture perfect in any one -part,” and he adds some valuable suggestions as to the way in which this -perfect outline--by which he means simply certainty and expressiveness -of draughtsmanship--should be obtained. Always, however, he asserts that -the way to success lies only through persistent endeavour and unfailing -consistency of purpose--“if the mind be fixed and sincere in pursuit of -the art, difficulties will be easily surmountable: they will rather -quicken than damp the desire for improvement,” and “the accomplishment -of one task will only give additional stimulus for the performance of -another” are essential articles in the creed which he professed and -practised throughout his life. - -In fact, he regarded art as the intellectual result of a visual exercise -and to obtain this result he prescribed a rigorous discipline. His -teaching is all the more worthy of attention now because it provides an -antidote to the sloppy conventionalism which is poisoning much of the -art of to-day. There were no affectations about David Cox, and the poses -of our modern artists of the “advanced” school would have seemed to him -particularly offensive. Yet, he was himself a pioneer, and in some ways -a rebel; but in breaking new ground he was seeking to make progress by -overcoming the difficulties of art and his rebellion was against -limitations which he knew to be unreasonable. His book is proof enough -that he would have had no sympathy with reactionaries who make a -pretence of primitive simplicity so that they can shirk the labour of -learning their craft; and all that he has included in it shows that to -him that art only was right which was earnest, sincere, and honest, and -unquestioning in its worship of nature. - - - - - A TREATISE - ON - LANDSCAPE PAINTING and EFFECT - IN - WATER COLOURS: - FROM THE FIRST RUDIMENTS, TO THE FINISHED PICTURE. - - WITH - EXAMPLES - IN - _Outline, Effect, and Colouring_. - - BY - DAVID COX. - - LONDON: -PRINTED FOR AND PUBLISHED BY S.

If an excuse were sought for, however, the -Publishers would confidently point to the acknowledged eminence of the -Author of the production which they have the honour to propose to the -notice of the world; to the new and interesting principles which it will -develope; and to the extent and excellence of the examples with which it -will abound. To an enlightened and liberal public, possessing ability to -discriminate, and spirit to reward talent, it is unnecessary to urge any -additional claims to their attention and support. - -The abilities of MR. COX, as a Painter in Water Colours, have been long -established; and his knowledge of Effect is equal to that of any Artist -of which the age can boast. His Pencil Drawings are of the boldest -style; and the Etchings, in imitation of Lead Pencil and Chalk, which -will be found amongst the examples appended to this Work, will be marked -by a peculiar character of fidelity, and derive an additional value from -the circumstance of their being executed by himself.--In the first of -these Sketches, the most simple principles of the Art will be exposed; -and the advancement of the young Student will be accomplished by their -gradual progression to subjects more interesting in their detail, and of -greater difficulty in their execution. - -In the progress of the Work, the Author will introduce a variety of -imitations of his Drawings, in Sepia and Colours, from all the most -striking Effects in Nature; the Plates from which will be executed by -the first Aquatinta Engraver in London; and the subjects appropriated to -this department of the Work will be so selected, as to display an -unusual variety of the most picturesque Scenes in England and Wales. - -The diversity and character of these Examples, combined with the sound -and simple instruction which will be found in these Numbers, will render -it a most desirable object of study, not only to the fashionable -Amateur, but to the young Artist whose disposition and ambition urge him -on in pursuit of professional eminence. All speculative and uncertain -theories will be cast aside, to make room for tried rules and solid -principles; the object of the whole being gradually to conduct the -Student, by the most direct paths, to the highest point of practical -excellence: and the Proprietors feel the most confident anticipations of -the brilliant success which will crown this Undertaking, from the -consciousness that a Work, better qualified to establish those ends -which it professes to keep in view, is not to be found amongst the -productions of contemporary genius. - - - - -A TREATISE ON LANDSCAPE PAINTING AND EFFECT IN WATER COLOURS BY DAVID -COX[B] - - -ADVERTISEMENT. - -The urgent and repeated solicitations of many of his Pupils have induced -the author of this Work to submit to the Public those remarks which are -the result of many years’ study, and which may guide the Student in the -selection of appropriate effects of Nature, adapted to the different -characters of Landscape composition. - -In his choice of the examples to elucidate these Observations, he has -been guided by a wish to lay before the Learner, as far as the limits of -the Work would admit of such illustrations, some of the most striking -effects, where incident combines with Nature to give expression and -vigour to each scene. A more satisfactory elucidation of this rule will -be afforded in the examples appended to the subsequent pages. - - -GENERAL OBSERVATIONS ON LANDSCAPE PAINTING. - -The principal art of Landscape Painting consists in conveying to the -mind the most forcible effect which can be produced from the various -classes of scenery; which possesses the power of exciting an interest -superior to that resulting from any other effect; and which can only be -obtained by a most judicious selection of particular tints, and a -skilful arrangement and application of them to differences in time, -seasons, and situation. This is the grand principle on which pictorial -excellence hinges; as many pleasing objects, the combination of which -renders a piece perfect, are frequently passed over by an observer, -because the whole of the composition is not under the influence of a -suitable effect. Thus, a Cottage or a Village scene requires a soft and -simple admixture of tones, calculated to produce pleasure without -astonishment; awakening all the delightful sensations of the bosom, -without trenching on the nobler provinces of feeling. On the contrary, -the structures of greatness and antiquity should be marked by a -character of awful sublimity, suited to the dignity of the subject; -indenting on the mind a reverential and permanent impression, and -giving, at once, a corresponding and unequivocal grandeur to the -picture. In the language of the pencil, as well as of the pen, sublime -ideas are expressed by lofty and obscure images; such as in pictures, -objects of fine majestic forms, lofty towers, mountains, lakes margined -with stately trees, rugged rocks, and clouds rolling their shadowy forms -in broad masses over the scene. Much depends upon the classification of -the objects, which should wear a magnificent uniformity; and much on the -colouring, the tones of which should be deep and impressive. - -In the selection of a subject from Nature, the Student should ever keep -in view the principal object which induced him to make the sketch: -whether it be mountains, castle, groupes of trees, corn-field, river -scene, or any other object, the prominence of this leading feature in -the piece should be duly supported throughout; the character of the -picture should be derived from it; every other subject introduced should -be subservient to it; and the attraction of the one, should be the -attraction of the whole. The union of too great a variety of parts tends -to destroy, or at least to weaken the predominance of that which ought -to be the principal in the composition; and which the Student, when he -comes to the colouring, should be careful to characterise, by throwing -upon it the strongest light. In his attention to this rule, however, the -Student must be particular not to fall into the opposite extreme, by -suffering the leading object of his composition so fully to engross his -attention as to render him neglectful of the inferior parts. Because -they are not to be exalted into principals, it does not follow that they -are to be degraded into superfluities. - -All the lights in a picture should be composed of warm tints, except -they fall on a glossy or reflective surface; such as laurel leaves, -glazed utensils, etc., which should be cool, and the lights small, to -give them a sparkling appearance: but care must be taken not to -introduce a cold colour in the principal light, which, as already -mentioned, should be thrown upon the leading feature of a picture, as it -conduces to destroy the breadth that should be preserved; while on the -contrary, the opposition or proximity of a cool to a warm colour assists -greatly in giving brilliancy to the lights. If the picture, for -instance, should have a cool sky, the landscape ought to be principally -composed of warm tints; as contrast of this description tends to the -essential improvement of the general effect. - -All objects which are not in character with the scene should be most -carefully avoided, as the introduction of any unnecessary object is sure -to be attended with injurious consequences. This must prove the -necessity of becoming thoroughly acquainted with, and obtaining a proper -feeling of, the subject. The picture should be complete and perfect in -the mind, before it is even traced upon the canvas. Such force and -expression should be displayed, as would render the effect, at the first -glance, intelligible to the observer. Merely to paint, is not enough; -for where no interest is felt, nothing can be more natural than that -none should be conveyed. - -Finally, it may be observed, that it is only by a due attention to each -distinct part, and by a skilful combination of all, that the whole can -be effective and delightful. - - -ON OUTLINE. - -The young draftsman who is ambitious of future eminence must be close in -his attention to those minute points which, skilfully combined, -constitute the excellence of the painter. In the outset, it will be -necessary for him to be particular in his designation of the Outline, -for the perfection of which, he must possess a clear conception of his -subject; otherwise, be his genius what it may, he will wander wildly, -without either promoting his own satisfaction, or conveying a definite -or correct idea to the observer. Too little attention has generally been -paid to this point, by Students: they are too apt to appear disconcerted -and discouraged, when the task wears a complexion of difficulty. - -A clear and decided Outline possesses a manifest superiority over an -imperfect or undecided one, inasmuch as it renders unnecessary those -continual references to Nature or to copy, which must be had recourse -to, where the Outline is defective. He who devotes his time to the -completion of a perfect Outline, when he has gained this point, has more -than half finished his piece; while the author of a slovenly Outline -creates for himself an infinity of trouble, in order to evade additional -errors in the colouring of his subjects; and after all his efforts, -finds it impossible to produce a picture perfect in any one part. To -attain proficiency in the art of pencilling, the Student is recommended -to practise Drawing from the casts of the antique, by which study he -will acquire a growing facility in the designation of fine forms, as -well as a more correct and decided mode of outlining. The Pupil will -also find his progress greatly accelerated by the dedication of his -leisure moments to copying objects of still life--a practice which will -be found replete with advantage, when he studies combinations of -subjects for compositions of landscape scenery. - -In tracing the distinct objects of a landscape, it is recommended to -attend more particularly to the general forms than to detail: for -example, in sketching a mountain, it will be sufficient to describe the -extreme Outline, without descending to the diversified and numerous -ridges which may appear; for although these uneven divisions arrest the -attention of the Student, when engaged in tracing the particular form of -the eminence, they are lost to the eye which embraces, at one view, the -whole of the scene. A greater degree of minuteness, however, ought to be -observed in the Outline of the fore-ground of a picture, where the -features of the object assume a more specific appearance, shewing -decided forms, and obtruding all their diversities of shape upon the -view. To obtain excellence in this respect, it will be necessary to make -correct drawings from Nature, of weeds, plants, bark of trees, and such -objects as usually constitute the foreground of a landscape. - -The Student must first commence with perpendicular, horizontal, and -diagonal lines, to give the hand that freedom and certainty which are -necessary. The Drawing must be strongly marked in the shade and -foreground of the subject, but more delicately in the lighter parts, and -as the distance gradually increases. Due attention to this cannot fail -to give the true spirit and perspective. The Plates of this Work should -be copied in regular succession, and any bad line that may be made -should be entirely expunged; for all effort to rectify, by retouching, -will only give the piece a scratched and indecisive appearance, and -consequently will cause confusion and mistakes in the colouring. - -Any little failure must not be made the source of discouragement; and in -case the Student should not have succeeded altogether so well as could -be wished, in the first attempt, he ought by all means to persevere -until completely successful; carefully endeavouring, in his renewed -efforts, to avoid the same errors. This mode will assuredly be followed -with far greater improvement than can possibly attend hasty transitions -from one subject to another, without producing perfection in either. - -The best and surest method of obtaining instruction from the Works of -others is not so much by copying them, as by drawing the same subjects -from Nature immediately after a critical examination of them, while they -are fresh in the memory. Thus they are seen through the same medium, and -imitated upon the same principles, without preventing the introduction -of sufficient alterations to give originality of manner, or incurring -the risk of being degraded into a mere imitator. - -If the mind be fixed and sincere in pursuit of the Art, difficulties -will be easily surmountable: they will rather quicken than damp the -desire for improvement; for it is only where talent is required that -Genius can be active. The accomplishment of one task will only give -additional stimulus for the performance of another. Increasing pleasure -will naturally flow from progressive improvement. The mind will ever be -busily and pleasingly employed; for “the effect of every object that -meets a Painter’s eye may give him a lesson.” - - -ON LIGHT AND SHADE, AND EFFECT. - -It is here that the Art begins to display its varied and inexhaustible -beauties, and to reward the patient and improving Student. The outline -being completed in the manner prescribed by the foregoing instructions, -LIGHT and SHADE, and EFFECT, should be studied in sepia or Indian ink, -by which a clearer conception of each will be acquired than if practised -in colours; the variety of the latter tending to perplex the mind, and -to divert it from the main object. Colouring is a distinct and -subsequent branch, and is only to be learnt by long and minute -observation of the diversified tints and hues of Nature. The principle -of Light and Shade, on the contrary, is established by theory. This -subject has already been so admirably treated on, that it will be -impossible to give a better insight into it than is contained in the -following passages extracted from a celebrated Work. - -“Shadow is a diminution of light occasioned by the interposition of some -opake body, which receiving and intercepting the light that should be -cast on the plane it is placed on, there gives a shadow of its own form: -for light being of a communicative nature, diffuses itself on every -thing not hid from it, particularly on every thing that is plain and -smooth; but where there happens the least elevation, a shadow is -produced which exhibits the figure of the illumined part on the plane. - -“The diversity of luminaries occasions a difference of shadows; for if -the body that illumines be larger than the body illumined, the shadow -will be less than the body. If they be equal, the shadow will be equal -to the illumined; and if the luminary be less than the object, the -shadow will be continually enlarging as it goes farther off. - -“From what has been observed we draw this conclusion: that the same -object may project shadows of different forms, though still illumined on -the same side; the sun giving one form, the torch or lamp another. - -“The sun always makes its shadow equal to the object; that is, projects -it parallel-wise. It is certainly of consequence to observe these rules -precisely, and not take the rules for candles, lamps, and the like, in -lieu thereof. - -“The shadow of objects given by a torch or lamp is not projected in -parallels, but in rays proceeding from a centre: whence the shadow is -never equal to the object, but always larger; and grows larger as it -recedes further. - -“To find a shadow, two things are supposed, viz., light and body. Light, -though quite contrary to shadow, is yet what gives it its being; as the -body, or object, is what gives its form and figure. To conceive the -nature of shadows more clearly, and render the practice more easy, it -must be observed, that there are two points to be made use of: one of -them, the foot of the light, which is always taken on the plane the -object is placed upon; the other, the luminous body;--the rule being -common to the sun, torch, etc., with this difference, that the sun’s -shadow is projected in parallels, and that of the torch in rays, from -the centre, as before mentioned. But as all objects on earth are so -small in comparison of the sun, the diminution of their shadows is -imperceptible to the eye, which sees them all equal, neither broader nor -narrower than the object that forms them. On this account, all the -shadows caused by the sun are made in parallels. - -“To find the shadow of any object whatever opposed to the sun, a line -must be drawn from the top of the luminary, perpendicular to the plane -where the foot of the luminary is to be taken; and from this, an occult -line to be drawn through one of the angles of the plane of the object; -and another, from the sun to the same angle. The intersection of the two -lines will express how far the shadow is to go. All the other lines must -be drawn parallel hereto. - -“All given shadows must appear darker than that part of the object not -illumined, for this reason--those parts of objects not illumined receive -the reflection of the brightness around them; while the shadow given can -receive no reflection but from the object in shade.” - -Having thus given the origin of Light and Shade, it will be necessary -next to proceed to give some idea of the various effects of Nature, and -the class of scenery suitable to each effect; as the great merit of a -picture depends on the most appropriate Effect given to each scene. - -Abrupt and irregular lines are productive of a grand or stormy Effect; -while serenity is the result of even and horizontal lines, where no -roughness or intersections appear, to invade the mild harmony of beauty. - -Morning Effect, for instance, may be displayed in any composition the -form and character of which are pleasing to the eye--where the pendent -forms of trees, combined with other objects, communicate to the mind a -delightful impression; and a similar observation will hold good with -respect to Mid-day, which may be produced in various situations: but -owing to the great glare of light in such Effects, hay-fields, -corn-fields, or any busy scene on rivers, etc., are suitable for the -Effect, and as regards Evening and Twilight. Such Effects being -calculated to convey to the mind impressions of grandeur, the -composition should be studied, to produce such an Effect; and the -Colouring ought to be perfectly in unison with the peaceful repose or -the gloomy majesty which controls the scene. - -A flat country, on the marshy banks of a winding river, should be seen -beneath a grey, clouded sky. The transient effect adapted to such a -landscape is produced by the fleeting lights of the sunbeams, -struggling, between the interstices of the blowing clouds. The old -Pollard Willow is strictly characteristic of this scene, being -indigenous to countries of this description; and its situation in the -landscape might be such, as to carry the eye through all the various -meanderings of the stream. - -In landscapes which may have been selected solely with a view to the -display of some particular object, and which are low, and, on the whole, -less prolific in interest, and less gratifying to the eye, than others -might have been, an additional feature of interest should be thrown into -the sky, to aid, by the contrast it would afford, the effect of the -whole, which otherwise might appear unsatisfactory; taking care, at the -same time, not to invade or to injure the prominent character of the -picture. On the other hand, however, where the scene itself is naturally -full of interest, the picture will of course admit of a less beautiful -and imposing; sky: although in this case, as in the former, due -attention should be paid, to support the character of the whole. At the -same time it ought to be fully explained, that these observations must -be understood as by no means intended to confine the exertions of the -Student entirely to the particular subjects which have been chosen for -illustration in the various Effects of this Work; as it will be obvious, -in drawing from Nature, the Student will find subjects very different, -equally adapted to this purpose; and in his selections from the objects -which may present themselves to his notice, he will of course find, in -his own taste, a guide which will be more or less correct, in proportion -as he has cultivated and refined it. - - -METHOD OF LAYING ON THE TINTS. - -It will be necessary that the Pupil should be provided with good hair -pencils, sepia or Indian ink, and saucers to mix each separate shade in; -also paper strained upon a proper drawing-board. - -The outline being made very correct, the Pupil will mix up three or four -different shades, according to the number of distances there may be in -the copy, and carefully match them to each, commencing with the sky, and -keeping the drawing-board a good deal sloped, which will assist the tint -to follow the pencil in the part where he is at work. He will also be -particularly careful always to lay it on clear to the outline. After he -has gone over the sky, in all the principal parts, sufficient to produce -the effect, he will next proceed to lay in all the shades, or masses of -shadow, which usually form the general effect of the composition; -beginning always with the third distance in the landscape; afterwards -the second or middle distance; and then working the fore-ground in the -same way. It ought to be observed as an invariable rule, that the pencil -should be tolerably full of colour, in order that it may float, which -will give clearness to the work. After having gone over the whole in the -shadows, the Learner will mix a tint something lighter than each shadow, -which must be used upon the lights in blending the dark into the lights, -such as in fractured stone, brick, broken plaister, etc., and in those -parts of trees where it is required to break the shadows into the light -branches by small touches; which will give a finish to the appearance of -the drawing, and soften or blend together any parts which may appear too -abrupt. In the finishing, a dark shade should be mixed up, with which -those parts in the shadows which require to be marked out in the outline -may be finished up; and a proper depth should be given to the dark -parts: but care should be taken not to use this dark tint in any bright -light, as it would render the part harsh, and unpleasant to the eye. - -It must be observed, that in putting on all tints or shadows the Student -must accustom himself to working with his board straight before him; and -in laying on his tints, must be particularly careful to begin by laying -them close to the outline, and not by repeated touches, or dragging the -pencil backward and forward in a timid manner, without any decided -method--a fault that is chiefly owing to the outline not being made -correct; for where the Pupil has made a correct and decided outline, all -timidity vanishes, and he will work with spirit and freedom. The reverse -is the cause of so many failures in the commencement of the Art. - - -ON COLOURING. - -The effect having been studied in Sepia or Indian ink, in the Colouring -of his subject the young Student should be particularly attentive to the -adaptation of his colours to the composition and effect of the piece. -In Morning and Evening effects we naturally look towards the light -which at those periods of the day is marked by a mild beauty which -gratifies and attracts, yet divested of that dazzling noontide -effulgence which weakens and repulses, the eye. Those objects which are -seen against the strongest light must wear a neutral tint, which may be -termed negative harmony; for were they to be garbed in the rich and -full-dress liveries of Nature, the influence of the lustres behind them -would in a great measure be rendered nugatory, and the effect weak and -full of error: on the contrary, in the representation of broad sunshine -or mid-day, those parts of the piece which are visited by, but not seen -against, strong lights, will admit of a rich and beautiful harmony of -colour, without doing violence to truth, or infringing on the economy of -Nature; and this may be called positive harmony, or a picture of colour. - -Every tint should be laid on with clearness and decision, so that the -object may receive its proper tone at the first touch of the hair -pencil; nor is less skill required in the choice and appropriation of -the colours, which should be diversified as much as is consistent with -the unison necessary to the production of harmony. Objects which are -exposed to the light require a higher finish and more glowing warmth of -colour than those which are shrouded in shade; while the minutest parts -of the former ought to be touched with the utmost care, so as to render -visible and striking all that the broad and bright radiance of the sun -may be supposed to develope. The latter will admit of a less laboured -and less perfect delineation. In the lights of a picture, attention to -this rule is indispensable, where it is necessary to distinguish, with -so much correctness of detail, those very objects which in shadow would -permit that intimacy of union which would almost make them appear as -one. - -The light aerial tints should be laid on the remotest parts of a -picture, gradually brightening into more rich and decided tones as they -approach the nearer and more prominent objects; taking care to preserve -the same atmosphere throughout the picture. - - - - -TEMPLE OF FANCY[C] - - - In times so uncommon, so big with events, - So hard on the poor, and so hurtful to trade, - So fruitful with bunches of catchpenny-gents, - When fortunes immense by Gass-lights are made, - When Tunnels are carried quite under the Thames, - And Hampstead and Highgate are each to be bor’d, - When ev’ry Profession is teeming with schemes, - And Cattle are free from the murrain insur’d; - A plain honest Tradesman who keeps out of debt, - Whose name is not seen in the London Gazette, - May linger unnoticed, his labours unknown, - Till Puff or Advertisement gives him the _Ton_. - Now be it thus known to all Persons of Fashion, - And others of Rank, Pretension, or Station, - Or Box Lobby Loungers, or rich plodding Cits, - Who live by their acres, or exist by their wits: - And so it be known to the few who have spirit - And means to call forth the exertions of merit-- - Who kindly bestow their time and attention - On the labours of Art and the works of Invention: - That FANCY, a Goddess by Artists respected, - In the PLACE of RATHBONE has a TEMPLE erected, - And thither her Vot’ries are ask’d to repair, - To lounge away time, or drive away care; - There pleasing politeness invites at the door, - Whose mystical Number is _Thirty_ and _Four_. - The TEMPLE’s interior by _Fancy_ is grac’d - With efforts of Art, and productions of Taste; - Where Science and Genius have happily blended - The things which for _shew_ and for _use_ are intended;

L. BALDRY</h2> - -<p>When an artist is beyond question a master of his craft it is always -particularly interesting to hear what he has to say about the principles -by which his art is controlled and the methods he employs in his -practice. It is, of course, in his work, in the things he creates, that -he gives the complete expression of his convictions and that the full -product of his experience is embodied, but by the aid of words he is -able not only to declare the intention by which his expression has been -directed but also to explain the technical processes which have enabled -him to arrive at his results. His creed, once set down in writing, is -made permanently available for the guidance of all who study his work -and seek to realise his purpose; the statement of his methods becomes an -enduring record to which those who come after him can refer when they -wish to understand the manner of his production.</p> - -<p>In this way, indeed, the educational value of the master’s precepts is -maintained indefinitely. Even after his personal and living influence -has been withdrawn his authority persists and his teaching remains -active, because in all its essentials it is still within the student’s -reach. Fashions in art may vary from time to time, but its fundamental -principles do not change and the exposition of these principles which -has served one generation is just as helpful to another.</p> - -<p>Therefore, such a book as this “Treatise on Landscape Painting and -Effect in Water Colours, from the first rudiments to the finished -picture,” by David Cox, deserves as ready an acceptance to-day as it -received when it was first published more than a century ago. David Cox -is justly counted among the greater British masters—that can scarcely -be disputed—he was also a teacher of very wide experience and he knew -well how to enable others to profit by the knowledge he had accumulated. -It was the fruit of this experience that he gathered in his “Treatise,” -and it was in response to a demand from the people who were best able to -judge the quality of his teaching that he undertook the preparation of -the book. “The urgent and repeated solicitations of many of his pupils,” -he says in his foreword, “have induced the author of this work to submit -to the public those results which are the result of many years’ study, -and which may guide the student in the selection of appropriate effects -of nature, adapted to the different characters of landscape -composition.”</p> - -<p>That in referring to “urgent and repeated solicitations” he was not -using a mere figure of speech is likely enough, for in those days plenty -of people wanted to be taught and the master who knew his business was -very much in request. Drawing and water-colour painting were reckoned as -elegant accomplishments which formed a necessary part of a<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_2" id="page_2">{2}</a></span> polite -education, and there was not only a host of amateurs who were ready to -learn but a number of professional students as well with a real desire -to become proficient in a new and attractive form of practice in which -art patrons and collectors were showing themselves to be much -interested. The official type of art school with which we are familiar -to-day was almost non-existent—or at all events there were few such -places available for the amateur—so the private teacher had to supply -the deficiency and to assume a position of considerable responsibility. -However, it cannot be disputed that he filled this position in a way -that brought him credit and that what he had to do was done with marked -efficiency.</p> - -<p>Certainly, the students then had privileges which we to-day can justly -envy. They were extraordinarily fortunate in their teachers, for they -were able to obtain instruction from some of the greatest masters whom -this country has produced. Turner, De Wint, Cotman and David Cox, and -many other men of distinction who were their contemporaries were -actively engaged in teaching during some part of their lives and by -their genius and experience they raised greatly the standard of popular -taste and fostered a feeling for art in social circles. Moreover, by -their practice and precept they developed the new art of painting in -water colours from a tentative and timid form of expression into -something splendidly robust and full of brilliant possibilities.</p> - -<p>It may, perhaps, seem a matter for regret that an artist of rare -capacities, like David Cox, should have apparently wasted in the -drudgery of teaching so much of the time which he might have employed to -advantage in following his profession as a painter. But by his work as a -drawing-master he not only created a public which learned eventually to -show an effective appreciation of his productions, but he also helped on -a movement which was of benefit to others as well as himself. If the art -in which he excelled had been taught only by the less competent men it -would scarcely have secured so quickly such a large measure of -recognition; it was the ability of the teachers to prove how great were -its possibilities that ensured its acceptance and established its -authority.</p> - -<p>Still, it must be admitted that many of these men whom we now rank as -masters became teachers from necessity rather than choice. At the end of -the eighteenth century it was often difficult for a young artist to earn -a living; pictures fetched low prices and the demand for them was -uncertain, so he had to seek out other sources of income. Teaching, -badly paid as it was, was a very real help and the man who could secure -a good connection in schools and among private pupils was able to -maintain himself while he was waiting to find buyers for his works. If -the patrons<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_3" id="page_3">{3}</a></span> failed to appear he remained a teacher to the end of his -days, counting himself fortunate if he was able to hold his own against -the competition of younger men who were ready to oust him from his -place.</p> - -<p>David Cox was decidedly one of those who were forced into teaching by -circumstances, for he was born of humble parents and had from early life -to make his way in the world by his own exertions. He had during his -childhood some small amount of art training and when he was barely -seventeen he began to work as a scene-painter, first in Birmingham, -where he was born, and afterwards in London. But even then he was a -serious student of nature with ambitions to become a landscape painter, -and soon after he came to London he took the opportunity to get some -lessons from John Varley in water-colour painting. In this new art he -made such satisfactory progress that he gave up his theatrical work, -devoting himself, instead, to landscape painting and teaching. Even then -he was only twenty-two and he had still much to learn to fit himself for -the career on which he was entering; but so assiduous was he in his -study of nature and so consistent in his effort to acquire a full -command of technical processes that he was able at the age of thirty—in -1813—to secure election as a member of the Society of Painters in Water -Colours. This election can be taken as evidence that he was already -regarded by his fellow-artists as a man of some distinction in his -profession. But the same year brought other evidences of his growing -success, for it saw his appointment as drawing-master in the Military -Academy at Farnham, and also the issue of the first parts of his -“Treatise on Landscape Painting,” in which he was able to talk about the -“repeated solicitations” of his pupils and to imply that his position as -a teacher was one which justified him in speaking with authority about -matters of technical practice.</p> - -<p>Yet, with what he might regard as a fairly established place in the -world he was by no means relieved from his struggles for existence. He -had advanced, it is true, beyond the stage when he was glad to get a -couple of guineas a dozen for the drawings which he sold to dealers, but -his smaller works still fetched only a few shillings and a large one not -more than five or six pounds. It was necessary for him to work very hard -and to practise the strictest economy to maintain himself and his wife -and child, and it was impossible for him to do without the earnings -which teaching brought him. It was probably for this reason that in -1814, when he gave up his post at the Military Academy because he felt -the work there to be unsuited to him, he left London and settled in -Hereford, where teaching engagements in schools and private families -were plentiful and where he was able to take in pupil-boarders.<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_4" id="page_4">{4}</a></span></p> - -<p>At Hereford he remained for nearly fourteen years, but he visited London -annually and he made periodical sketching excursions to different parts -of the British Isles and occasionally abroad. Eventually he returned to -London and lived at Kennington until 1841, when he moved once again, -this time to Harbourne, a suburb of his native town, Birmingham, where -he died in 1859. Slowly but surely he built up his reputation, more -slowly still he increased his income and added to his savings, but it -was not until his final departure from London that he was able to free -himself from his responsibilities as a teacher and to devote the whole -of his energies to painting.</p> - -<p>Indeed, the move to Harbourne was made partly to obtain leisure for -practice in oil painting, as he had conceived a somewhat sudden desire -to acquire a mastery of that medium. He had used oils many years before, -but for sketches rather than finished pictures; the ambition to achieve -more in this direction came to him about 1839, when he made the -acquaintance of W. J. Muller and watched that extraordinarily skillful -painter at work. Cox, who was then a man of fifty-six, became a sort of -pupil of the younger artist and accepted hints from him with -characteristic humility—he is reported to have said on one occasion -during a technical demonstration, “You see, Mr. Muller, I can’t paint.”</p> - -<p>However, if such a remark were justifiable in 1839, it was certainly -subject to considerable modification very few years later, for Cox, once -started in the right direction, developed quickly into an oil painter of -unquestionable distinction. He never, perhaps, reached quite the same -degree of proficiency which he had attained in water colours, but he did -work which was worthy of him and he added many fine canvases to the -series which generation by generation has been built up by the masters -of British landscape. Fortunately, he did not devote the whole of his -time to pursuit of new methods, indeed, to this final period of his life -belong some of the greatest of his water-colour paintings—possibly -practice with oils heightened his keenness of vision and increased the -strength with which he handled the more delicate medium, and no doubt -freedom from distractions enabled him to work more deliberately and with -closer concentration.</p> - -<p>If Cox’s career is judged by the conventional money standard it would be -scarcely possible to say that he achieved success, for at no time were -his earnings large—he is said to have only once received £100 for a -picture—and the small competence which he amassed in his later years -would have seemed merely poverty to anyone less modest and -simple-minded. But if he is measured by the true standard, of -accomplishment, he can be reckoned as successful in the highest degree. -His paintings<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_5" id="page_5">{5}</a></span> are distinguished by an exquisite perception of the great -facts of nature and by a consistent significance of interpretation, they -have a most attractive individuality, and their technical mastery is -exceptionally convincing—they put him definitely among the leaders of -the British school. As a teacher he had a wide and wholesome influence -because he sought to impress upon his pupils his own sincere belief that -nature is and always must be the right source of an artist’s -inspiration, and because he tried to make them devout and serious -students like himself.</p> - -<p>It was essentially from the standpoint of the landscape painter that he -approached his teaching. His “Treatise” was intended to guide the -student “in the selection of appropriate effects of nature,” or in other -words, to point the way to a proper understanding of nature’s -subtleties. Cox did not believe in an easy and convenient formula; he -did not use one himself and he had no wish to impose it upon others. In -this his attitude was partly temperamental and partly, no doubt, due to -the fact that, unlike many of his contemporaries, he did not spend his -earlier years in learning the conventions of the topographical -draughtsman—he was a translator and an interpreter, not merely a -copyist, and although his interpretation was eminently a true one, its -truth appeared in his realisation of the great fundamentals, not in the -laborious statement of local trivialities. He expressed this himself on -one occasion when the committee of the Water-Colour Society had -complained that some paintings of his were “too rough”—he wrote, “They -forget that these are the work of the mind, which I consider very far -before portraits of places.”</p> - -<p>This faith that painting should be the work of the mind, and of a mind -so stored with impressions of nature that it would be able infallibly to -recognise what was the way in which each aspect of nature should be -treated, is very clearly demonstrated in his “Treatise.” Read between -the lines of its practical advice the book, indeed, is an eloquent -assertion of a master’s creed, and as such it is instructive not only to -the student who wishes to profit by its technical hints but also to the -judges of art who are anxious to appreciate the principles of which -David Cox and his greater contemporaries were masterly exponents.</p> - -<p>There is much in the text that explains these principles and defines the -manner in which they should be applied. For instance, when Cox dwells -upon “the necessity of becoming thoroughly acquainted with, and of -obtaining a proper feeling of, the subject,” and when he says that “the -picture should be complete and perfect in the mind before it is even -traced upon the canvas,” he is simply advocating that first and most -vital essential in all artistic effort, accurate and intelligent -observation.<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_6" id="page_6">{6}</a></span></p> - -<p>Again, when he insists that “in the selection of a subject from nature -the student should ever keep in view the principal object which induced -him to make the sketch,” and adds that “the prominence of this leading -feature in the piece should be duly supported throughout; the character -of the picture should be derived from it; every other subject introduced -should be subservient to it; and the attraction of the one should be the -attraction of the whole,” he is only pointing out the necessity for -orderly and logical design. His arguments, too, that the sentiment of -the subject should be reflected in the manner of its treatment, that -“such force and expression should be displayed as would render the -effect, at the first glance, intelligible to the observer,” and that the -right relation should be scrupulously maintained between the leading -object in the composition and the less prominent accessories, are wholly -inspired by the belief that a sense of balance and proportion are as -indispensable to the student as the power to see and to think about what -he sees.</p> - -<p>Further, what he has to say about the need for exactness in the -preparatory stages of a painting is most significant, as it shows how -much importance he attached to systematic accomplishment and steady -progression from one stage of the work to another. But here also the -foundation must be observation—the student “must possess a clear -conception of his subject” because upon that depends the perfection of -his outline, and “it will be necessary for him to be particular in his -designation of the outline” because only in that way will he be able to -proceed to his own satisfaction and convey a definite and correct idea -to the observer. Cox very rightly claims that “he who devotes his time -to the completion of a perfect outline, when he has gained this point, -has more than half finished his piece: while the author of a slovenly -outline creates for himself an infinity of trouble, in order to avoid -additional errors in the colouring of his subjects: and after all his -efforts, finds it impossible to produce a picture perfect in any one -part,” and he adds some valuable suggestions as to the way in which this -perfect outline—by which he means simply certainty and expressiveness -of draughtsmanship—should be obtained. Always, however, he asserts that -the way to success lies only through persistent endeavour and unfailing -consistency of purpose—“if the mind be fixed and sincere in pursuit of -the art, difficulties will be easily surmountable: they will rather -quicken than damp the desire for improvement,” and “the accomplishment -of one task will only give additional stimulus for the performance of -another” are essential articles in the creed which he professed and -practised throughout his life.</p> - -<p>In fact, he regarded art as the intellectual result of a visual exercise -and to obtain this result he prescribed a rigorous discipline. His -teaching is<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_7" id="page_7">{7}</a></span> all the more worthy of attention now because it provides an -antidote to the sloppy conventionalism which is poisoning much of the -art of to-day. There were no affectations about David Cox, and the poses -of our modern artists of the “advanced” school would have seemed to him -particularly offensive. Yet, he was himself a pioneer, and in some ways -a rebel; but in breaking new ground he was seeking to make progress by -overcoming the difficulties of art and his rebellion was against -limitations which he knew to be unreasonable. His book is proof enough -that he would have had no sympathy with reactionaries who make a -pretence of primitive simplicity so that they can shirk the labour of -learning their craft; and all that he has included in it shows that to -him that art only was right which was earnest, sincere, and honest, and -unquestioning in its worship of nature.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="page_8" id="page_8">{8}</a></span> </p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="page_9" id="page_9">{9}</a></span> </p> - -<h1><small> -A <a name="TREATISE" id="TREATISE"></a>TREATISE<br /> -<small>ON</small></small><br /> -LANDSCAPE PAINTING and EFFECT<br /> -<small><small>IN</small><br /> -<span class="eng">WATER COLOURS</span>:</small><small><small><br /> -FROM THE FIRST RUDIMENTS, TO THE FINISHED PICTURE.</small></small><br /> -</h1> - -<p class="c"><small><small>WITH</small></small><br /> -EXAMPLES<br /> -<small><small>IN</small></small><br /><big> -<i>Outline, Effect, and Colouring</i>.</big><br /> -<br />————<br /> -BY<br /> -D A V I D C O X.<br /> -————<br /> -<br /><small> -LONDON:<br /> -<span class="smcap">Printed for and published by S. and J.

If an excuse were sought for, however, the -Publishers would confidently point to the acknowledged eminence of the -Author of the production which they have the honour to propose to the -notice of the world; to the new and interesting principles which it will -develope; and to the extent and excellence of the examples with which it -will abound. To an enlightened and liberal public, possessing ability to -discriminate, and spirit to reward talent, it is unnecessary to urge any -additional claims to their attention and support.</p> - -<p>The abilities of <span class="smcap">Mr. Cox</span>, as a Painter in Water Colours, have been long -established; and his knowledge of Effect is equal to that of any Artist -of which the age can boast. His Pencil Drawings are of the boldest -style; and the Etchings, in imitation of Lead Pencil and Chalk, which -will be found amongst the examples appended to this Work, will be marked -by a peculiar character of fidelity, and derive an additional value from -the circumstance of their being executed by himself.—In the first of -these Sketches, the most simple principles of the Art will be exposed; -and the advancement of the young Student will be accomplished by their -gradual progression to subjects more interesting in their detail, and of -greater difficulty in their execution.</p> - -<p>In the progress of the Work, the Author will introduce a variety of -imitations of his Drawings, in Sepia and Colours, from all the most -striking Effects in Nature; the Plates from which will be executed by -the first Aquatinta Engraver in London; and the subjects appropriated to -this department of the Work will be so selected, as to display an -unusual variety of the most picturesque Scenes in England and Wales.</p> - -<p>The diversity and character of these Examples, combined with the sound -and simple instruction which will be found in these Numbers, will render -it a most desirable object of study, not only to the fashionable -Amateur, but to the young Artist whose disposition and ambition urge him -on in pursuit of professional eminence. All speculative and uncertain -theories will be cast aside, to make room for tried rules and solid -principles; the object of the whole being gradually to conduct the -Student, by the most direct paths, to the highest point of practical -excellence: and the Proprietors feel the most confident anticipations of -the brilliant success which will crown this Undertaking, from the -consciousness that a Work, better qualified to establish those ends -which it professes to keep in view, is not to be found amongst the -productions of contemporary genius.<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_11" id="page_11">{11}</a></span></p> - -<h2 class="c">A TREATISE ON LANDSCAPE<br /> PAINTING AND EFFECT IN<br /> WATER COLOURS BY DAVID -COX<a name="FNanchor_B_2" id="FNanchor_B_2"></a><a href="#Footnote_B_2" -class="fnanchor">[B]</a></h2> - -<h3><a name="ADVERTISEMENT" id="ADVERTISEMENT"></a>ADVERTISEMENT.</h3> - -<p>The urgent and repeated solicitations of many of his Pupils have induced -the author of this Work to submit to the Public those remarks which are -the result of many years’ study, and which may guide the Student in the -selection of appropriate effects of Nature, adapted to the different -characters of Landscape composition.</p> - -<p>In his choice of the examples to elucidate these Observations, he has -been guided by a wish to lay before the Learner, as far as the limits of -the Work would admit of such illustrations, some of the most striking -effects, where incident combines with Nature to give expression and -vigour to each scene. A more satisfactory elucidation of this rule will -be afforded in the examples appended to the subsequent pages.</p> - -<h3><a name="GENERAL_OBSERVATIONS_ON_LANDSCAPE_PAINTING" id="GENERAL_OBSERVATIONS_ON_LANDSCAPE_PAINTING"></a> -GENERAL OBSERVATIONS ON LANDSCAPE PAINTING.</h3> - -<p>The principal art of Landscape Painting consists in conveying to the -mind the most forcible effect which can be produced from the various -classes of scenery; which possesses the power of exciting an interest -superior to that resulting from any other effect; and which can only be -obtained by a most judicious selection of particular tints, and a -skilful arrangement and application of them to differences in time, -seasons, and situation. This is the grand principle on which pictorial -excellence hinges; as many pleasing objects, the combination of which -renders a piece perfect, are frequently passed over by an observer, -because the whole of the composition is not under the influence of a -suitable effect. Thus, a Cottage or a Village scene requires a soft and -simple admixture of tones, calculated to produce pleasure without -astonishment; awakening all the delightful sensations of the bosom, -without trenching on the nobler provinces of feeling. On the contrary, -the structures of greatness and antiquity should be marked by a -character of awful sublimity, suited to the dignity of the subject; -indenting on the mind a reverential and permanent impression, and -giving, at once, a corresponding and unequivocal grandeur to the -picture. In the language of the pencil, as<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_12" id="page_12">{12}</a></span> well as of the pen, sublime -ideas are expressed by lofty and obscure images; such as in pictures, -objects of fine majestic forms, lofty towers, mountains, lakes margined -with stately trees, rugged rocks, and clouds rolling their shadowy forms -in broad masses over the scene. Much depends upon the classification of -the objects, which should wear a magnificent uniformity; and much on the -colouring, the tones of which should be deep and impressive.</p> - -<p>In the selection of a subject from Nature, the Student should ever keep -in view the principal object which induced him to make the sketch: -whether it be mountains, castle, groupes of trees, corn-field, river -scene, or any other object, the prominence of this leading feature in -the piece should be duly supported throughout; the character of the -picture should be derived from it; every other subject introduced should -be subservient to it; and the attraction of the one, should be the -attraction of the whole. The union of too great a variety of parts tends -to destroy, or at least to weaken the predominance of that which ought -to be the principal in the composition; and which the Student, when he -comes to the colouring, should be careful to characterise, by throwing -upon it the strongest light. In his attention to this rule, however, the -Student must be particular not to fall into the opposite extreme, by -suffering the leading object of his composition so fully to engross his -attention as to render him neglectful of the inferior parts. Because -they are not to be exalted into principals, it does not follow that they -are to be degraded into superfluities.</p> - -<p>All the lights in a picture should be composed of warm tints, except -they fall on a glossy or reflective surface; such as laurel leaves, -glazed utensils, etc., which should be cool, and the lights small, to -give them a sparkling appearance: but care must be taken not to -introduce a cold colour in the principal light, which, as already -mentioned, should be thrown upon the leading feature of a picture, as it -conduces to destroy the breadth that should be preserved; while on the -contrary, the opposition or proximity of a cool to a warm colour assists -greatly in giving brilliancy to the lights. If the picture, for -instance, should have a cool sky, the landscape ought to be principally -composed of warm tints; as contrast of this description tends to the -essential improvement of the general effect.</p> - -<p>All objects which are not in character with the scene should be most -carefully avoided, as the introduction of any unnecessary object is sure -to be attended with injurious consequences. This must prove the -necessity of becoming thoroughly acquainted with, and obtaining a proper -feeling<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_13" id="page_13">{13}</a></span> of, the subject. The picture should be complete and perfect in -the mind, before it is even traced upon the canvas. Such force and -expression should be displayed, as would render the effect, at the first -glance, intelligible to the observer. Merely to paint, is not enough; -for where no interest is felt, nothing can be more natural than that -none should be conveyed.</p> - -<p>Finally, it may be observed, that it is only by a due attention to each -distinct part, and by a skilful combination of all, that the whole can -be effective and delightful.</p> - -<h3><a name="ON_OUTLINE" id="ON_OUTLINE"></a>ON OUTLINE.</h3> - -<p>The young draftsman who is ambitious of future eminence must be close in -his attention to those minute points which, skilfully combined, -constitute the excellence of the painter. In the outset, it will be -necessary for him to be particular in his designation of the Outline, -for the perfection of which, he must possess a clear conception of his -subject; otherwise, be his genius what it may, he will wander wildly, -without either promoting his own satisfaction, or conveying a definite -or correct idea to the observer. Too little attention has generally been -paid to this point, by Students: they are too apt to appear disconcerted -and discouraged, when the task wears a complexion of difficulty.</p> - -<p>A clear and decided Outline possesses a manifest superiority over an -imperfect or undecided one, inasmuch as it renders unnecessary those -continual references to Nature or to copy, which must be had recourse -to, where the Outline is defective. He who devotes his time to the -completion of a perfect Outline, when he has gained this point, has more -than half finished his piece; while the author of a slovenly Outline -creates for himself an infinity of trouble, in order to evade additional -errors in the colouring of his subjects; and after all his efforts, -finds it impossible to produce a picture perfect in any one part. To -attain proficiency in the art of pencilling, the Student is recommended -to practise Drawing from the casts of the antique, by which study he -will acquire a growing facility in the designation of fine forms, as -well as a more correct and decided mode of outlining. The Pupil will -also find his progress greatly accelerated by the dedication of his -leisure moments to copying objects of still life—a practice which will -be found replete with advantage, when he studies combinations of -subjects for compositions of landscape scenery.</p> - -<p>In tracing the distinct objects of a landscape, it is recommended to -attend more particularly to the general forms than to detail: for -example, in<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_14" id="page_14">{14}</a></span> sketching a mountain, it will be sufficient to describe the -extreme Outline, without descending to the diversified and numerous -ridges which may appear; for although these uneven divisions arrest the -attention of the Student, when engaged in tracing the particular form of -the eminence, they are lost to the eye which embraces, at one view, the -whole of the scene. A greater degree of minuteness, however, ought to be -observed in the Outline of the fore-ground of a picture, where the -features of the object assume a more specific appearance, shewing -decided forms, and obtruding all their diversities of shape upon the -view. To obtain excellence in this respect, it will be necessary to make -correct drawings from Nature, of weeds, plants, bark of trees, and such -objects as usually constitute the foreground of a landscape.</p> - -<p>The Student must first commence with perpendicular, horizontal, and -diagonal lines, to give the hand that freedom and certainty which are -necessary. The Drawing must be strongly marked in the shade and -foreground of the subject, but more delicately in the lighter parts, and -as the distance gradually increases. Due attention to this cannot fail -to give the true spirit and perspective. The Plates of this Work should -be copied in regular succession, and any bad line that may be made -should be entirely expunged; for all effort to rectify, by retouching, -will only give the piece a scratched and indecisive appearance, and -consequently will cause confusion and mistakes in the colouring.</p> - -<p>Any little failure must not be made the source of discouragement; and in -case the Student should not have succeeded altogether so well as could -be wished, in the first attempt, he ought by all means to persevere -until completely successful; carefully endeavouring, in his renewed -efforts, to avoid the same errors. This mode will assuredly be followed -with far greater improvement than can possibly attend hasty transitions -from one subject to another, without producing perfection in either.</p> - -<p>The best and surest method of obtaining instruction from the Works of -others is not so much by copying them, as by drawing the same subjects -from Nature immediately after a critical examination of them, while they -are fresh in the memory. Thus they are seen through the same medium, and -imitated upon the same principles, without preventing the introduction -of sufficient alterations to give originality of manner, or incurring -the risk of being degraded into a mere imitator.</p> - -<p>If the mind be fixed and sincere in pursuit of the Art, difficulties -will be easily surmountable: they will rather quicken than damp the -desire for improvement; for it is only where talent is required that -Genius can be<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_15" id="page_15">{15}</a></span> active. The accomplishment of one task will only give -additional stimulus for the performance of another. Increasing pleasure -will naturally flow from progressive improvement. The mind will ever be -busily and pleasingly employed; for “the effect of every object that -meets a Painter’s eye may give him a lesson.”</p> - -<h3><a name="ON_LIGHT_AND_SHADE_AND_EFFECT" id="ON_LIGHT_AND_SHADE_AND_EFFECT"></a>ON LIGHT AND SHADE, AND EFFECT.</h3> - -<p>It is here that the Art begins to display its varied and inexhaustible -beauties, and to reward the patient and improving Student. The outline -being completed in the manner prescribed by the foregoing instructions, -<span class="smcap">Light</span> and <span class="smcap">Shade</span>, and <span class="smcap">Effect</span>, should be studied in sepia or Indian ink, -by which a clearer conception of each will be acquired than if practised -in colours; the variety of the latter tending to perplex the mind, and -to divert it from the main object. Colouring is a distinct and -subsequent branch, and is only to be learnt by long and minute -observation of the diversified tints and hues of Nature. The principle -of Light and Shade, on the contrary, is established by theory. This -subject has already been so admirably treated on, that it will be -impossible to give a better insight into it than is contained in the -following passages extracted from a celebrated Work.</p> - -<p>“Shadow is a diminution of light occasioned by the interposition of some -opake body, which receiving and intercepting the light that should be -cast on the plane it is placed on, there gives a shadow of its own form: -for light being of a communicative nature, diffuses itself on every -thing not hid from it, particularly on every thing that is plain and -smooth; but where there happens the least elevation, a shadow is -produced which exhibits the figure of the illumined part on the plane.</p> - -<p>“The diversity of luminaries occasions a difference of shadows; for if -the body that illumines be larger than the body illumined, the shadow -will be less than the body. If they be equal, the shadow will be equal -to the illumined; and if the luminary be less than the object, the -shadow will be continually enlarging as it goes farther off.</p> - -<p>“From what has been observed we draw this conclusion: that the same -object may project shadows of different forms, though still illumined on -the same side; the sun giving one form, the torch or lamp another.</p> - -<p>“The sun always makes its shadow equal to the object; that is, projects -it parallel-wise. It is certainly of consequence to observe these rules -precisely, and not take the rules for candles, lamps, and the like, in -lieu thereof.<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_16" id="page_16">{16}</a></span></p> - -<p>“The shadow of objects given by a torch or lamp is not projected in -parallels, but in rays proceeding from a centre: whence the shadow is -never equal to the object, but always larger; and grows larger as it -recedes further.</p> - -<p>“To find a shadow, two things are supposed, viz., light and body. Light, -though quite contrary to shadow, is yet what gives it its being; as the -body, or object, is what gives its form and figure. To conceive the -nature of shadows more clearly, and render the practice more easy, it -must be observed, that there are two points to be made use of: one of -them, the foot of the light, which is always taken on the plane the -object is placed upon; the other, the luminous body;—the rule being -common to the sun, torch, etc., with this difference, that the sun’s -shadow is projected in parallels, and that of the torch in rays, from -the centre, as before mentioned. But as all objects on earth are so -small in comparison of the sun, the diminution of their shadows is -imperceptible to the eye, which sees them all equal, neither broader nor -narrower than the object that forms them. On this account, all the -shadows caused by the sun are made in parallels.</p> - -<p>“To find the shadow of any object whatever opposed to the sun, a line -must be drawn from the top of the luminary, perpendicular to the plane -where the foot of the luminary is to be taken; and from this, an occult -line to be drawn through one of the angles of the plane of the object; -and another, from the sun to the same angle. The intersection of the two -lines will express how far the shadow is to go. All the other lines must -be drawn parallel hereto.</p> - -<p>“All given shadows must appear darker than that part of the object not -illumined, for this reason—those parts of objects not illumined receive -the reflection of the brightness around them; while the shadow given can -receive no reflection but from the object in shade.”</p> - -<p>Having thus given the origin of Light and Shade, it will be necessary -next to proceed to give some idea of the various effects of Nature, and -the class of scenery suitable to each effect; as the great merit of a -picture depends on the most appropriate Effect given to each scene.</p> - -<p>Abrupt and irregular lines are productive of a grand or stormy Effect; -while serenity is the result of even and horizontal lines, where no -roughness or intersections appear, to invade the mild harmony of beauty.</p> - -<p>Morning Effect, for instance, may be displayed in any composition the -form and character of which are pleasing to the eye—where the pendent -forms of trees, combined with other objects, communicate to the mind a<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_17" id="page_17">{17}</a></span> -delightful impression; and a similar observation will hold good with -respect to Mid-day, which may be produced in various situations: but -owing to the great glare of light in such Effects, hay-fields, -corn-fields, or any busy scene on rivers, etc., are suitable for the -Effect, and as regards Evening and Twilight. Such Effects being -calculated to convey to the mind impressions of grandeur, the -composition should be studied, to produce such an Effect; and the -Colouring ought to be perfectly in unison with the peaceful repose or -the gloomy majesty which controls the scene.</p> - -<p>A flat country, on the marshy banks of a winding river, should be seen -beneath a grey, clouded sky. The transient effect adapted to such a -landscape is produced by the fleeting lights of the sunbeams, -struggling, between the interstices of the blowing clouds. The old -Pollard Willow is strictly characteristic of this scene, being -indigenous to countries of this description; and its situation in the -landscape might be such, as to carry the eye through all the various -meanderings of the stream.</p> - -<p>In landscapes which may have been selected solely with a view to the -display of some particular object, and which are low, and, on the whole, -less prolific in interest, and less gratifying to the eye, than others -might have been, an additional feature of interest should be thrown into -the sky, to aid, by the contrast it would afford, the effect of the -whole, which otherwise might appear unsatisfactory; taking care, at the -same time, not to invade or to injure the prominent character of the -picture. On the other hand, however, where the scene itself is naturally -full of interest, the picture will of course admit of a less beautiful -and imposing; sky: although in this case, as in the former, due -attention should be paid, to support the character of the whole. At the -same time it ought to be fully explained, that these observations must -be understood as by no means intended to confine the exertions of the -Student entirely to the particular subjects which have been chosen for -illustration in the various Effects of this Work; as it will be obvious, -in drawing from Nature, the Student will find subjects very different, -equally adapted to this purpose; and in his selections from the objects -which may present themselves to his notice, he will of course find, in -his own taste, a guide which will be more or less correct, in proportion -as he has cultivated and refined it.</p> - -<h3><a name="METHOD_OF_LAYING_ON_THE_TINTS" id="METHOD_OF_LAYING_ON_THE_TINTS"></a>METHOD OF LAYING ON THE TINTS.</h3> - -<p>It will be necessary that the Pupil should be provided with good hair -pencils, sepia or Indian ink, and saucers to mix each separate shade in; -also paper strained upon a proper drawing-board.<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_18" id="page_18">{18}</a></span></p> - -<p>The outline being made very correct, the Pupil will mix up three or four -different shades, according to the number of distances there may be in -the copy, and carefully match them to each, commencing with the sky, and -keeping the drawing-board a good deal sloped, which will assist the tint -to follow the pencil in the part where he is at work. He will also be -particularly careful always to lay it on clear to the outline. After he -has gone over the sky, in all the principal parts, sufficient to produce -the effect, he will next proceed to lay in all the shades, or masses of -shadow, which usually form the general effect of the composition; -beginning always with the third distance in the landscape; afterwards -the second or middle distance; and then working the fore-ground in the -same way. It ought to be observed as an invariable rule, that the pencil -should be tolerably full of colour, in order that it may float, which -will give clearness to the work. After having gone over the whole in the -shadows, the Learner will mix a tint something lighter than each shadow, -which must be used upon the lights in blending the dark into the lights, -such as in fractured stone, brick, broken plaister, etc., and in those -parts of trees where it is required to break the shadows into the light -branches by small touches; which will give a finish to the appearance of -the drawing, and soften or blend together any parts which may appear too -abrupt. In the finishing, a dark shade should be mixed up, with which -those parts in the shadows which require to be marked out in the outline -may be finished up; and a proper depth should be given to the dark -parts: but care should be taken not to use this dark tint in any bright -light, as it would render the part harsh, and unpleasant to the eye.</p> - -<p>It must be observed, that in putting on all tints or shadows the Student -must accustom himself to working with his board straight before him; and -in laying on his tints, must be particularly careful to begin by laying -them close to the outline, and not by repeated touches, or dragging the -pencil backward and forward in a timid manner, without any decided -method—a fault that is chiefly owing to the outline not being made -correct; for where the Pupil has made a correct and decided outline, all -timidity vanishes, and he will work with spirit and freedom. The reverse -is the cause of so many failures in the commencement of the Art.</p> - -<h3><a name="ON_COLOURING" id="ON_COLOURING"></a>ON COLOURING.</h3> - -<p>The effect having been studied in Sepia or Indian ink, in the Colouring -of his subject the young Student should be particularly attentive to the -adaptation of his colours to the composition and effect of the piece. -In<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_19" id="page_19">{19}</a></span> Morning and Evening effects we naturally look towards the light -which at those periods of the day is marked by a mild beauty which -gratifies and attracts, yet divested of that dazzling noontide -effulgence which weakens and repulses, the eye. Those objects which are -seen against the strongest light must wear a neutral tint, which may be -termed negative harmony; for were they to be garbed in the rich and -full-dress liveries of Nature, the influence of the lustres behind them -would in a great measure be rendered nugatory, and the effect weak and -full of error: on the contrary, in the representation of broad sunshine -or mid-day, those parts of the piece which are visited by, but not seen -against, strong lights, will admit of a rich and beautiful harmony of -colour, without doing violence to truth, or infringing on the economy of -Nature; and this may be called positive harmony, or a picture of colour.</p> - -<p>Every tint should be laid on with clearness and decision, so that the -object may receive its proper tone at the first touch of the hair -pencil; nor is less skill required in the choice and appropriation of -the colours, which should be diversified as much as is consistent with -the unison necessary to the production of harmony. Objects which are -exposed to the light require a higher finish and more glowing warmth of -colour than those which are shrouded in shade; while the minutest parts -of the former ought to be touched with the utmost care, so as to render -visible and striking all that the broad and bright radiance of the sun -may be supposed to develope. The latter will admit of a less laboured -and less perfect delineation. In the lights of a picture, attention to -this rule is indispensable, where it is necessary to distinguish, with -so much correctness of detail, those very objects which in shadow would -permit that intimacy of union which would almost make them appear as -one.</p> - -<p>The light aerial tints should be laid on the remotest parts of a -picture, gradually brightening into more rich and decided tones as they -approach the nearer and more prominent objects; taking care to preserve -the same atmosphere throughout the picture.<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_20"
