"Art students are terrified at the prospect before them, of the toil required to attain exactness. ... They wish to find some shorter path to excellence, and hope to obtain the reward of eminence by other means than those which the indispensable rules of art have prescribed. They must therefore be told again and again that labour is the only price of solid fame, and that whatever their force of genius may be, there is no easy method of becoming a good painter."
Sir Joshua Reynolds
