The appearance of this may have suggested to the man painting his outline on the wall the idea of shading between his outlines. At any rate the next development was the introduction of a little shading to relieve the flatness of the line-work and suggest modelling. And this was as far as things had gone in the direction of the representation of form, until well on in the Italian Renaissance.
Many of them express the freer qualities of real pen-drawing an autographic character in the line-work akin to that secured in original etching. The pen is an instrument that works best on a small scale, in which it can be manipulated flexibly in the fingers; in this it is like the etching-needle itself.
This was turning the tables with a vengeance. There remained only to put Maisie into her hansom. 'Good-bye, she said simply. 'You'll come on Sunday. It has been a beautiful day, Dick. Why can't it be like this always? 'Because love's like line-work: you must go forward or backward; you can't stand still. By the way, go on with your line-work.
The same sense of aristocratic loveliness is conveyed by a scene of dancing figures almost life size in the palace library at Jaipur. Against a pale green background, the figures, dressed in greenish yellow, pale greyish blue and the purest white, posture with calm assured grace, while the pure tones and exquisite line-work invest the scene with gay and luminous clarity.
She hasn't the power, or the insight, or the training. Only the desire. She's cursed with the curse of Reuben. She won't do line-work, because it means real work; and yet she's stronger than I am. I'll make her understand that I can beat her on her own Melancolia. Even then she wouldn't care. She says I can only do blood and bones. I don't believe she has blood in her veins.
But the genius of Cruikshank has been cast away in an utterly ghastly and lamentable manner: his superb line-work, worthy of any class of subject, and his powers of conception and composition, of which I cannot venture to estimate the range in their degraded application, having been condemned, by his fate, to be spent either in rude jesting, or in vain war with conditions of vice too low alike for record or rebuke, among the dregs of the British populace.
That's immoral. Do line-work for a little while, and then I can tell more about your powers, as old Kami used to say. Maisie protested; she did not care for the pure line. 'I know, said Dick. 'You want to do your fancy heads with a bunch of flowers at the base of the neck to hide bad modelling. The red-haired girl laughed a little.
He dreaded and longed for the day always, but since the red-haired girl had sketched him there was rather more dread than desire in his mind. He found that Maisie had entirely neglected his suggestions about line-work. She had gone off at score filed with some absurd notion for a 'fancy head. It cost Dick something to command his temper.
And you know what Kipling says: 'Love's like line-work; you can't stand still, you must go backward or forward. You don't propose to take my advice and run away from it?" "Not before I am sure there is danger, anyhow."
It's all right, dear. Of course you must do your work, and I think I'll say good-bye for this week. 'Won't you even stay for tea? 'No, thank you. Have I your leave to go, dear? There's nothing more you particularly want me to do, and the line-work doesn't matter. 'I wish you could stay, and then we could talk over my picture.
