RUSSELL, See also:JOHN (1745-1806) , See also:British portrait painter in See also:pastel, was See also:born at See also:Guildford, See also:Surrey. At an See also:early See also:age he entered the studio of See also:Francis See also:Cotes, R.A., from whom .he derived his See also:artistic See also:education, and set up his own studio in 1767. Russell was a See also:man of remarkable religious See also:character, a devout follower of See also:Whitefield. He began an elaborate introspective See also:diary in See also:Byrom's shorthand in 1766 and continued it to the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time of his See also:death. In it he records his own See also:mental See also:condition and religious exercises, entering with a certain morbid ingenuity into See also:long disquisitions, and only occasionally recording See also:information concerning his sitters. His religious See also:life is the See also:key to his complex character, as it actuated his whole career. He obtained the See also:gold See also:medal at the Royal See also:Academy for figure See also:drawing in 1770 and exhibited from the beginning of the Academy down to 18o5. He was the finest painter in crayons See also:England ever produced, and although he painted in oil, in See also:water-See also:colours and in See also:miniature, it was by his See also:works in See also:crayon that his reputation was made. He wrote the Elements of See also:Painting in Crayon, and described in it his method. He made his own crayons, blending them on his pictures by a See also:peculiar method termed " sweetening." This he carried out with his fingers, rubbing in the colours and softening them in outline, uniting See also:colour to colour so accurately that they melt into one another with a characteristic See also:cadence. His pastel See also:work is to oil painting " what the See also:vaudeville is to the tragedy or the See also:sonnet to the epic." His colours were pure and his blending so perfect that no See also:change is to be seen in his works since they were executed. See also:Sir See also:Joseph See also:Banks, See also:writing in 1789 respecting his portraits of the See also:president, of See also:Lady, Mrs and See also:Miss Banks, stated that " the oil pictures of the See also:present time fade quicker than the persons they are intended to present, but the colours made use of by Russell will stand for ever," and in that prophecy is so far justified.
An important picture by him hangs in the Louvre (" See also:Child with Cherries "), and two, including " The Old Bathing Man at See also:Brighton," are owned by the See also:crown. At the Royal Academy, of which he was a member, he exhibited three See also:hundred and See also:thirty works, and his portraits were engraved by See also:Collyer, See also:Turner, See also:Heath, See also:Dean, See also:Bartolozzi, Trotter and other prominent engravers. Russell received warrants of See also:appointment to the See also:- KING
