with No. 23 ; the stripes in the man’s jacket are done
with Prussian blue alone; the red cap with a mix-
ture of Venetian red and lake; the first tint of the
great stone in the left-hand corner is made of No 24.
The green tint for the top of the rocks is No. 14, and
is shaded with No. 12 or 11. The dark shades on the
rocks are done with No. 22, and that on the road with
No. 23, with which also is done the shadow which falls
from the man. The distant part of the sea must be
strengthened by shading it with horizontal lines of lake
and blue, whilst the dark shades of the waves are put in
with No. 10, and the lighter ones with No. 12. No-

thing more remains than to put in the dark shades of the
large stone in the left-hand corner, as well as of the
smaller ones along the shore, and to touch up the road
and rock, all of which may be done with a strong tint of
Vandyke brown. The birds may be done with neutral
tint.
The next subject consists entirely of sea, without any
land. The blue of the sky must be made of No. 2, laid
on very strong in the right-hand corner, growing paler
as it approaches the edges of the white clouds, which
must be left in ragged irregular forms, such as are com-
monly seen after a storm: these clouds may be shaded
with No. 4. The sea, where it comes against the hori-
zon, is made of a strongish tint of indigo and lake,
making it still stronger by changing it into a deep neu-
