The colours ufed, are white made of lime flaked
long ago, and white marble duft ; oker, both red
and yellow, violet red, verditer, lapis lazuli, fmalr,
black earth, &c. all which are only ground and
worked up with water; and mo ft of them grow
brighter and brighter, as the frefco dries.
This fort of painting is chiefly performed on
walls and vaults, newly plaiftered with lime and
fand: but the plaifter is only to be laid in propor-
tion as the painting goes on ; no more being to be
done at once than the painter can difpatch in a day,
while it is dry.
Before he begins to paint, a cartoon or defign
is ufually made on paper, to be chalked and trans-
ferred to the wall, about half an hour after the
plaifter is applied.

canvas, (tones, and all forts of metals.
