INSTRUCTION page 97
due to lack of confidence as to capacity and ultimate success than to lack of funds ; and it is useless to purchase a full complement of colors, brushes, etc, unless there is a very definite determination to continue. therefore, if doubts are entertained as to the ultimate success of the venture, it may be made at a very small outlay for materials.
ONE COLOR will afford some slight insight into the manipulation of color and brushes ; and if the attempt prove an utter failure, or offers no inducement to continue, it would certainly be a satisfaction to know the experience was not a costly one.
If the experiment of one color is successful, and the beginner is sufficiently encouraged to continue, there need no longer be any hesitancy in regard to procuring anything and everything required.
After finishing one article, there is no mistaking the inclination to continue or to stop.
But aside from the economical point of view, first efforts should be defined too one color, on principle. There will probably arise, at this stage of the art, numerous difficulties to be overcome with even one color, without being handicapped by that of handling several colors.
Monochromes are much easier of accomplishment than polychromes, and trifling incongruities of both color and correctness as to light and shade are not nearly so pronounced as if the same design was in the natural colors.
