the mod light; and comprehends not only the lights themfelves,
but alio thofe colours that are luminous. By obfcure, is meant

CLEARNESS, is reprefented, in painting, &c. by a naked
youth of a noble afpedf, lurrounded with a great fplendor and
brightnefs, with the fun in his hand.
His youth fhews him acceptable to every body, and is faid to be
illuftrious like the fun that illuminates every thing in the world.
CLEOPHANTUS of Corinth, made the next improvement
upon Ardices of Corinth, who firft attempted to fill up his out-
lines. But, as he did it with one fingle colour laid on every-
where alike, his pieces, and thofe of Hygiemon, Dinias, and
Charmas, his followers, from thence sot the name of mono-
chromata, pictures of one colour.
Francis de CLEYN, was a Dutch painter, and matter of the
tapeftry works to king Charles I. at Mortlack, for which he
painted cartoons in diftemper ; he was very eminent for his in-
vention, and made feveral defigns that were extraordinary fine
for painters, gravers, fculptors, &c. amongff. which are cuts of
fome of Ogylby's books. He died at Mortlack a little before
the reftoration.
CLIO, one of the mures, the patronefs and inventrefs of hif-
tory, is reprefented, in painting, with a coronet of bays ; hold-
ing in her light hand a trumpet, in her left hand a book, upon
which may be written hiftoria. Her name is derived from
praife and glory.

CLOUDS, Skf\ &c. For colouring them, do as follows :
1. For a beautiful fky, fitted for fair weather, ufe bice tem-
pered with white, laying it in the upper part of the fky (as you
fee proper) under which you may lay a thin or faint purple,
with a fmall foft brufh, working the undermoft purple into the
■uppermoft blue, but fo as that the blue may ftand clear and
perfect.
2. For the horizon, or near the fame, lay a fine thin mafticot,
which work from below upwards, till it mix with the purple;
after which, you may take a ftronger purple, making here and
there, upon the former purple, as it were the form of clouds as
nature requires.
3. Upon the mafHcot, you may alfo work with minium mixed
with cerufs, to imitate the fiery beams, which often appear in
hot and clear fummer weather.
