Whatever Trips You Make, You

Few Have Been Taught To Any Purpose Who Have Not Been Their Own Teachers.

An Artist Who Brings To His Work A Mind Tolerably Furnished With The General Principles Of Art, And A Taste Formed Upon The Works Of Good Artists – In Short, Who Knows In What Excellence Consists - Will, With The Assistance Of Models... Be An Overmatch For The Greatest Painter That Ever Lived Who Should Be Debarred Such Advantages.

I Can Recommend Nothing Better... Than That You Endeavor To Infuse Into Your Works What You Learn From The Contemplation Of The Works Of Others.

The Art Of Seeing Nature, Or, In Other Words, The Art Of Using Models, Is In Reality The Great Object, The Point To Which All Our Studies Are Directed.

A Passion For His Art, And An Eager Desire To Excel, Will More Than Supply An Artist With The Place Of Method.
