OF PAINTING.
Colours seen in shadow will display more or less of their natural
brilliancy in proportion as they are in fainter or deeper shadow.
But if these same colours are situated in a well-lighted place, they
will appear brighter in proportion as the light is more brilliant.
THE ADVERSARY.
The variety of colours in shadow must be as great as that of the
colours in the objects in that shadow.
