On going back to the next object, on the principal stalk, some leaves
will be found to hang directly before it, so that in the coloured subject
the stalk is not seen. Still the centre line of the leaf will be seen dis-
tinctly, and the outline on both sides must be drawn with a little more
force, to bring it away srom the stalk. In this way the whole subject
must be drawn, never using the indian rubber, if it can possibly be
avoided, until the whole of the leaves and ssowers are drawn, yet
with a light sketching touch, so that it may now be improved or
altered at pleasure.
The next step is to put the whole in light and shade; for this pur-
pose a neutral tint must be mixed, composed with yellow ochre,
prussian blue, and lake. These must be rubbed separately in sau-
cers, or on the palette, and a little of each mixed together till the
proper tint is obtained; this will easily be known by comparing it
with the pattern. Enough of the tint should be made at once to finish
the whole of the drawing. Begin at the top, and go all over the
leaves ; let the colour ssow freely from a large brush, so that the tint
may lie ssat. The same tint will put the ssowers in shade, in the dark
parts, but care must be taken not to let it run over the outline into the
light part of the ssower.
In all ssowers or leaves painted in water colours, it will be better to
leave the paper to form white, rather than use any colour for the pur-
pose : the bright lights are lest in this subject.
The first shade must be suffered to be quite dry before any other
colour is laid upon it. The second shade may be made rather darker
by mixing a little burnt umber with it. The pattern will shew where
the tint is to be applied, both on the stalk, leaves, and ssowers; and
