blacked paper on a clean paper; then trace the lines with a pert
or blunted point of a needle, till the lines are all impreffed on
the white paper, and draw them over with a black-lined pencil,
and mark the fhades where they feparate from the light parts of
the colour, that foyou may lay on your colours as you fee them
painted on the China ware ; then cut out the figures clofe to the
outlines, and fix them upon your ground of whiting and fize,
or fize with ground chalk, with thick gum arabic and water;
and, when they are quite dry, paint them, the lighter parts in
water colour, and the fhady parts with varnifh mixed with the
darker colours; when thefe are dry, wafh all over with the
white varnifh before the fire, but take care that it be not fo nigh
the fire as to make the varnifh rife in blifters.
When the varnifh is dry, lacker it again with the fame var-
nifh, and repeat this a third time ; then fcrape fome tripoli very
fine, and, with a foft rag dipped in water, take up a little of the
tripoli at a time, and polifh it by gentle ru'ebing till itisfmooth;
then wafh off the tripoli with a foft fpunge and water, and then
wipe it off with a dry fine cloth ; and, when it is thoroughly
dry, if it be a white varnifh, clean it with whiting and oil ; and,
if a black varnifh, with lamp-black and oil.
But the common way is to cut o'at prints, and pafte them on
fuch parts as is thought fit, and then to colour them with water
colours, and to varnifh them with white varnifh.
This is an eafy way of painting, becaufe the fhades of the
prints, when you lay on a tranfparent water colour, will give
the light and fhade that colour to your purpofe, without ufing
a dark and light colour.
CHOLER, is reprefented, in painting, by a meagre youth of a
fallow colour, with a haughty look, being almoff naked ; hold-
ing a drawn fword in his right-hand ; on one fide a fhield with
a flame in the middle, and a fierce lion on the other fide.
Lean, becaufe heat predominates, w^hich the fhield denotes ;
his yellow colour fhews his Choler; the drawn fword his haffi-
nefs to fight; his nakednefs and his impetuous paflion does not
fuffer him to provide for himfelf: The lion his animofity.
CHOROGRAPHY, is reprefented in painting, &c. by a
young lady in a changeable-coloured habit, plain and fhort; in
her right-hand a meafuring fqusre, a globe on the ground, with
a little part defigned ; in her left, compaffes.
The changeable habit denotes the different taking of fixati-
ons ; her fhortnefs flgnifies the taking plans of dominions more
briefly, when they take theleaft part for the greateft ; the inftru-
ment, the taking by it the limits of every dominion ; the com-
paffes denote the letting them to diftinguifh the confines from
one another.
