XXX. XXXII. / On Execution(underlined). / The next thing we look for in a landscape, is Execu- / tion(underlined) _ or the art of delineating with some degree of correct- / ness, & freedom, the form of objects. This is only the mecha- / -nical part: but it adds a beauty to the whole. No draw - / ing [can] can please without a certain degree of it. It may / be called the language(underlined) of painting. What we have al- / ready considered, is the scientific part. But sentiment, / and reasoning lose half their value, unless they are well / expressed
