When once a style to your liking is developed, do not change it in the regular run of work, but strive to produce exactly the same eflect each time. If you aspire to become a master of your profession, aim to produce uniform results. 292.

By reference to the diagram of the floor plan you will observe the exact position of the different accessories in making the illustrations. As conditions are not the same in all studios, it may be necessary to alter the positions somewhat to suit the room in which the work is being done; but the diagram will serve to illustrate clearly the manner in which the lighting is obtained. The principle points to remember are, that practically...
