About the book >.>.> Who have tried to make a finished study in water-colours from nature out of doors have doubtless been surprised and disappointed at the different appearance the sketch presents when brought indoors. It is generally either too light and quite flimsy in execution or it appears heavy and overwrought. It is nearly always too cold in colour. This unexpectedness of result may add a speculative charm to working from nature but is often a very great drawback especially if the study represents some place of importance to the artist and not easily revisited for the purpose of correcting mistakes. The fault generally lies not in any want of ability but in not carefully noting the colour and intensity. (LL)
