2. Take your black lead pen, and draw the picture by little
and little, palling from fquare to fquare, by the example of the
pattern, until you have gone all over with it; obferving that, in
What part of the fquare the picture lies, you draw the like part
in the fquare anfwerable thereto, till you have finifhed the whole.
3. Then draw it over with a pen, in which fecond drawing
of it, you may eafily mend any fault, and fhadow it at pleafure.
4. Laftly, when it is thoroughly dry, rub it over with the
crumb of white bread, and it will take off all the black lead
ftrokes; fo will the draught remain fair upon the paper.
EYES, For the drawing of Eyes. See plate XV.
Eyes, to paint in miniature, fhade the white of the Eyes,
with a faint blue and light flefh colour, and do the corners on
the fides of the nofe with vermilion and white, with a fmall ftroke
of carmine. All this is foftened with a mixture of vermilion,
carmine, and white, and a very little oker.
The iris of the Eye muft be a mixture of ultramarine and
white ; this little more in quantity than the other, adding thereto
a little briftle, if it be of a kind of a light hafel, or a little black,
if it is too grey.
The pupil, or fight of the Eye, muft be done with black, and
the iris fnaded with indigo, biftre, or black, according to the
colour it is of; but, of what colour foever it is, it will be proper
to draw a fine circle of vermilion round the fight, which blended
with the reft in finifhing gives life to the Eye.
The circumference of the Eyes, that is, the fight and lafhes,
are to be done with biftre and carmine, when they are ftrong ;
particularly the upper part, which muft be afterwards foftened
with red or blue mixtures, mentioned at the latter end of the ar-
ticle of CARNATION, that the whole may appear of*a piece
and continued.
Having done this, give a fmall touch of pure white, upon the
fight of the Eye, next to the light, which makes it fhine and,
alive. You may alfo heighten the white of the Eye next the
light.
The Eye-brows and the beard are coloured like the {hades cf
the flefh, (fee CARNATION) and are finifhed with biftre, oker,
or black, according to the colour they are of, drawing them with
fine ftrokes as they ought to lie, in exact imitation of nature ;
and heighten the lights with oker, biftre, a little vermilion, and
a good deal of white.
