Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Painter´s Camp, Vol. 1 of 3 It is unknown to all who are acquainted with the present condition of the fine arts in England that landscape-painters rely less on memory and invention than formerly, and that their work from nature is much more laborious than it used to be. Having studied principally in the northern districts, I had to contend against great difficulties of climate. These difficutlties I have entirely overcome, having painted from nature on the most exposed moors of Lancashire and the Scottish Highlands in the worst possible weather, and in all seasons of the year. With no more than such ordinary powers of physical strength and endurance as are be found amongst average English gentlemen, I have worked from mature on the spot seven or eight hours a day, in the wildest situations, and in the most merciless storms of winter. I have carried through the most delicate processes in color, hour after hour, when shepherds refused to wander on the hills and sheep were lost in the drifted snow.
