to the Air, green Meadows, Trees, and ground, lay-
ing them somewhat smooth, not very curioussy, but
ilightly and hastily , make a large Sky, which work
down in the Horizon, faintly, but fair , and drawing
nearer to the earth, let the remote Mountains appear'
sweet and misty, almost indistinguifliable, joining
with the Clouds, and as it were lost in the Air.
1 VI. The next ground colour downwards musten-
crease in magnitude of reason, as nearer the eyes,
somewhat blewish or Sea-green : but drawing to-
wards the sirst ground, let them decline into a reddish
or popinjay-green i the last ground colour, must be

brown and green? with which, or some colour near
it, you must make your first Trees, making them, as
they come near in distance, to encrease proportionably
in colour and magnitude, with great judgment: the
leaves ssowing and falling one with another, some ap-
parent? others lost in shadow.
VII. Let your Landskip lie low, and as it were un-

a large and full Sky not riling high, and lifting it self
<nro the top of the piece, as some have done.
VIU. Be sure to make your (hadows fall all one
way, viz. to make light against darkness, and dark-
ness against light , thereby extending the prospedt.,
and making it to shew as afar off, by losing its force
and vigour, by the remoceness from the eye.
