SHADOWS. SHADOW COLOUR.

SHADOWS.
Having got your local colour as dark as you think your
picture will justify, proceed next to wash in the principal
shadows. These are the masses above the eyes, the shadowed
side of the nose and face, the shadow under the lower lip,
and those of the jaw.
SHADOW COLOUR,
•
Properly speaking, there can be no one mixture for
shadow-tints, inasmuch as each shadow in a face not only
varies from the others, but those in one face will differ from
those of another: I give therefore a general mixture to be
kept foundation, winch can be made a little more
purple, a little more yellow, or a little more grey, as occasion
may require. It will be noticed that the colours chosen
are permanent, as far as colours can be so.
Venetian red, cobalt, pink madder, and Indian yellow
are to be mixed together to a slightly purplish tone; and it
will be a great convenience if enough of this be prepared
to last for a month.
