III. Of necessary Instruments appertaining to Drawing 1. SAllow coals split into the forms of Pencils which you may best have of those that sell Charcoal ready burnt for your use these are to be prepared by sharpning them at the point their use is to touch over your Draught lightly at the first you may know Sallow coals from others by the fineness of their grain 2. You must also have a Feather of a Ducks wing with which you may wipe out at pleasure what you desire to alter in your Draught 3. Black-lead Pencils to go over your Draught more exactly the second time 4. Pens made of a Ravens quill to finish your design which will strike a more neat stroke then the common quill but you must be very exact here for there is no altering what you do with the Pen. 5. A Rule and a pair of Compasses with three Points to take in and out one for Chalk another for Black lead or red Chalk or any other Paste The use of the Compasses is required in most things you draw which you are to use after your out-stroke is done by trying how near your Draught and Pattern agree and this being only toucht out in Charcoal you may alter at pleasure 6. Pastils made of several Colours to draw upon coloured Paper or Parchment the making whereof is as followeth How to make Pastils of several colours Take the Colour that you intend to make your Pastil and grind it dry or rather only bruise it somewhat fine to your Colour whatsoever it be add a reasonable quantity of Plaister of Paris burnt and finely sifted mix and incorporate the Colour and Plaister together with fair Water till it be stiff like Clay or Dough then take it and rowl it between your hands into long pieces about the bigness of the shank of a Tobacco-pipe then lay them in the Sun or Wind to dry They being thus dryed are ready for use being finely scraped to a very small point and if they be short put them into an ordinary Goose-quill to lengthen them And here note that you may by this means make Pastils of what Colour you please either simple or compounded if you know what ingredients and mixtures will make such a Colour as you desire which you will understand in the third Book where we treat of the Mixture of Colours And further observe that the Plaister of Paris is only to binde the Colours together and therefore according as your Colour or Colours you are to make are more hard or more soft you must add the greater or lesser quantity of Plaister By this means of tempering and mixing of several Colours together you may make indeed whatsoever colour you please as all manner of Colours for the Face or Bodie of Man or Woman all kind of Greens for Landskip for Rocks Skies Sun-beams all colours for Buildings with their Shadows These Pastils are very fine and commodious for drawing upon coloured paper and therefore I would have you 7. Provide your self also of fine Blew paper some light-coloured other-some more sad as also with Paper of divers other colours which now is very common to be sold in many places 8. Have alwayes in a readiness by you the Crumbs of fine Manchet or White-bread the use whereof is when you have drawn any thing with Black-lead that disliketh you you may strew some of these Crumbs upon the defective part and with a linnen cloth rub hard upon that place and it will fetch out the Black-lead and leave the Paper or Parchment fair and white It is also usefull when you have finished a piece either Head Leg Arme or whole Bodie with Black-lead and would trace it over with Ink to finish it the Black-lead will be seen in many places being thicker then the line of your Pen wherefore when you have finished your Drawing with Ink and that dry rub it over with these Crumbs and it will not only take off the superfluous Black-lead but all other spots of your Paper Escutchion An Ovall A way to Draw an Escutcheon Geometrically FIrst strike a Circle at pleasure as your occasion requires Then strike the Diameter as BC then set one foot of the Compasses in B and strike the crooked lines DD and DD then keeping the Compasses at the same distance strike the other crooked lines EE and EE then where they do intersect as FF there strike the cross Diameter then divide the upper Semidiameter into three parts and take two of them there make the Cross-line by setting one foot of the Compasses in B and make the crooked line GG then at the same distance make the crooked line HH by setting them in C then strike the line II then measure two or three of those parts and set off towards B and C then set the Compasses in K and strike the lines L L and LL then set the Ruler in MM and MM and strike the lines in NN and NN and divide the lower Semicircle in two equal parts then set the Compass in O and strike the lines PP and PP from AA then measure from MN downwards five of those parts of the upper measure then set the Compasses at
