Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of the House Should the inspiration of the moment dietate to you a command for walls light in colour, you must not, having once put your hand to the plough, entertain any idea Of looking back. That would be to ruin all. A fastidious chastity of form and site must be the order Of the day; your pieces of furniture, very refined, very fit, and very few, are to be disposed here and there after anxious premeditation and earnest thought. They must correspond in their design with the spirit Of the wall-papers, or the panelling, and be placed just there (and in no other position than that) where they will tell the most effeetively as patches of a darker tone; or you may choose to set the whole - walls, chairs, tables, and all - in a high key; only remembering that if this be done you must keep just as tight a rein over your fancy as though the plenishing were Of dark wood. A severe elegance scrupulously maintained and con Sistently carried out in every particular, is the main characteristic of this method; the colour Chord, limited though it be, will have an austere sweetness that falls in well with some tempera ments, but a jarring note were disastrous.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Materials for Permanent Painting: A Manual for Manufacturers, Art Dealers, Artists and Collectors I trust, therefore, that my work will be taken serious ly, and that the poorer painter will recognize that he need not use expensive colors to produce permanent results. I am glad that I am not actuated by any com mercial motive in writing this book, for, although I have been a color manufacturer for many years, I have never made, nor have I the intention of making tube colors for artists' use, but I have made quantities of finely ground colors for many of my friends, who are painters, and have demonstrated to them that some times the ordinary paints ground in oil, such as are used by house decorators, are sufficiently good for many purposes, and in many instances produce the same results as the more expensive colors filled in tubes. I have tried to write as fully as I know and give as plainly as I could the description relating to the more expensive colors, condemning those which should be condemned, and recommending others as long as there is nothing superior to be had. It may interest the reader to know why I take such a positive stand with reference to the fading, drying and other physical characteristics of colors, in view of the fact that the majority of investigators vacillate continually.
