Ruskin's revision to the Rudimentary series (1878)
293.After knowing thoroughly what ought to be done up to this point, the student may sketch complete subjects from Nature in broad light and shade; the two Examples given in this Frame showing the very light degree of finish to which it is, at first, advisable to carry large studies, marking simply the Lights and Darks, whether of real shadow, as on the left, or of local colour, as on the right. I found immense benefit myself from making rapid Memoranda of this latter kind, attending only to the contours and main masses. This one, for instance, was made while changing horses at Abbeville.
