The Sketch

LPC 5/17

People say, “It is only a sketch.” It takes the genius of a real artist to make a good sketch, to express the most important things in life, the fairness of a face, to represent air and light and to do it all with such simple shorthand means. One must have wit to make a sketch. Pictures that have had months of labor expended on them may be more incomplete than a sketch.
