jar, is done with No. 26 : the bottle is laid in ancl
finished, with two or three strong tints of burnt sienna;
the blue stripes in the apron which hangs against the
wall, as well as the paper -which covers the jar, are both
done with Prussian blue alone: the handle of the besom
is made of burnt sienna, and the besom itself of No. 24.
The first tints of every part of the drawing being now
finished, the student must begin to lay in the second
tint on the wall, which is exactly the same as the first,
leaving, however, breaks or uncovered places as in the
copy; the second tint on the floor is composed of burnt
sienna in the lightest parts, to which is added a little
Vandyke brown for those places which are darker; the
hamper is finished with a strong tint of Vandyke brown
and Indigo ; the barrel is shaded with No. 23, as is also
the basket and white cloth which is laid over it, making
the tint somewhat weaker for the basket, and still weaker
for the white cloth; the basket is then finished with
Vandyke brown, the pitcher is shaded with No. 24, and
the apron with No. 23 ; nothing now remains to be
done except the dark touches of Vandyke brown to
mark out the hoops on the barrel, the flat stones which
form the floor, SfC. §-c.
Note.—Should any part be deficient in strength, it
may be worked up to a greater depth with the same
colours with which it was laid in and shaded.
With this lesson I shall conclude all that I have to
say on those departments of the art which are connected
with and dependent upon Landscape Painting, and
shall proceed to Figurer Historical Drawing, which, as I
