To finifh the ground, trees, and fky, with the reft of the pic-
ture, begin, as before, with the neareftor largeft trees ; and, with
yellow, pink, and white, paint over the lighted leaves; but, of
the darker colour of pink, and a little fmalt, go finely over the
darkeft and outward leaves, with a fmall pencil dipped in varnifh.
Thofe trees that you would have beautiful, paint with a mix-
ture of yellow mafticote, white, and verdigreafe ; the darker
parts with pink, verdigreafe, and white ; as alfo thofe trees,
which you glazed with verdigreafe only, they being mixed very
light with white.
But, to finifh the fky and forefight, if any clouds appear, touch
them with varnifh and light colours, made of white, yellow oker,
and lake ; and with thefe likewife touch the lighten1 part of hills
and towns at the remoteft diftances: Alfo mix fmalt and white,
as light as you can, to paint over the fky ; and to thefe add a
tinclure of lake, to fhadow over the darkeft clouds, making all
your colours to lie thin and even.
If you would have the picture look more lively, fet it againft
the light, or on the eafel; and, though it is painted all over, yet
you may perceive the lights and fnadows through it; but, if not,
what was before painted will direel you ; your fky and forefight
then are to be limned with the fame; but lighter colours than
the former, and every part befides refpeclively.
To varnifi thefe prints. Take the beft white varnifh, fee VAR-
NISH, and mafiich varnifh, of each alike ; mix them together,
and, with a fine camels-hair brufh, varnifh the picture over four
or five times carefully before the fire, that the varnifh may not be
chilled, and you will find it to have a very good and firm glofs.
But, if you would polifh it after varnifhing, then you muft ufe
only the beft white varnifh, without any maftich varnifh mixed
with it; and wafh the print or picture over with it five or fix
times, after the manner that is done in japanning ; and fet the
picture by for four or five davs to dry, and then polifh it with
water and tripoli, and at la ft clear it up as you do white japan.
