‘Oh, now do tell me, I’m so interested in art, what
do you chiefly go in for? I mean – water-colours
or oils?’
‘My principal medium is what you would call oils.
Gouache, tempera and prepared dung are mediums
I never neglect, while my bead, straw and
button pictures have aroused a great deal of
criticism not by any means all unfavourable.’
‘It always seems to me a great pity to go in for oils
unless you’re really good. Now Prague’s sister has
a girl who draws quite nicely and she wanted to
go Paris, but I said to her parents, “Why let her
learn oils. There are too many oil paintings in the
world already.”’
