SUGGESTIONS TO WOULD BE ARTISTS:
The fancy for decorative work aud desire
to procure the same cheaply has led multi
| tudts Cf ladies to prove their skill and sur
| prise themselves ard ftier d. with the res ut
| OF limited time ard study. So much accom-
plished; as an art Painting is still ia
obsOtic state as accepted by the public
| Those who have en aged il decorative paint
| Ing for the greater part are elated with what
they can do, and rank themselves az artists
| although the study of form, light. shadow
and color with capabilities of porIaying the
same, are still foreign from their mind, c)n-
| teeuently those who seek 10 make a pr Dtes-
sion renumeIa,ive relying upon superficial
knowledge are disappointed. They have yet
| to learn that as in music so in painting, q
thorough drill in the elementary principles
are essential and till this fact becoms self
| evident the student labors In vain. The ar.
fist is not one who copies but one who can
from nature produce pictures pleasing and
| truthful.
