COLOURING OF ANIMALS.

these tints lights ought to be left on the shoulder, the rump,
and the side of the standing cow, and on the shoulder of
that which is lying down. For the shadows of this last
a strong tint of Vandyke brown with a little blue may be
used, whilst for those of the former No. 24 will be the
best tint. For the dark spirited touches of the different
parts of the drawing, Vandyke brown, Vandyke brown
and blue, and Vandyke brown and lake, will be the best.
The next subject consists of poultry drinking. The
blue streaks in the sky are made of No. 1, whilst the
white spaces are filed up with a very faint tint of yellow
ochre; the first tint of the trees on the left hand side
the picture are done exactly in the same manner, and
with the same tints as in the foregoing subject; the
herbage on the right hand side of the picture is done
with No. 15, and shaded with No. 10; the dish out of
which the fowls are drinking is painted with Venetian
red, and shaded with No. 24; whilst the shadows which
fall from it, and the legs of the fowls, are made of No. 23.
The first tint of the ground is composed of No. 17, near
the dish in the lightest part, and is gradually changed into
Nos. 17, 18, 13, 20, and 21, as it is carried into the
darker parts. For shading these different variations of
tint Nos. 18, 13, 20, 21, and 24, are used, the lightest
of them forming the shading of the lightest part of the first
tint, and the darkest for the darkest part. The student
may now begin with the fowls, making the first tint of the
head of the cock with No. 21, the neck of yellow ochre,
the back of burnt sienna, and the feathers which fall from
the rump of yellow ochre ; the long feathers of the tail, as
