of the Body yield or turn something away from the Eye then you must decline that part which turneth according to proportion and likewise if any part of the Body do appear to the Eye to foreshorten as when it doth hinder the sight of the full Latitude of that part of the Body Therefore I say upon such occasions the Body or part of the Body must be made to decline and foreshorten according to that proportion that the Eye doth guess of it therefore be sure to observe your exact distances one from another how farre the one is distant from the other you must observe also how much one part of the Body sticks out beyond the other be carefull when you draw a naked Figure to draw nothing hard but to shadow it fine and soft as possible you can and not to draw the out-Circumferences sharp or stiff but as loose as possible A way to take the perfect out-Lines or Circumferences of any Painting or Print whatsoever Take a sheet of Venice Paper and dip it in Oyl or take a Feather and wet the Paper all over with Oyl of Turpentine then take a clean linnen Rag and after the Oyl is soaked into the Paper a while rub the Oyl clean off from the Paper as clean as you can for if the Paper be Oyly it will spoil any Print because that the Oyl will soak through Then having prepared the Oyl-Paper take it and lay it upon the Painting or Print which you intend to draw after and you shall perceive all the Painting very clearly through the Oyl-Paper Then you take a black lead Pensil and draw upon the Oyl-Paper all the out-Lines and Circumferences thereof then take a piece of Charcole or a piece of black Lead and scrape it upon the backside of the Oyl-Paper then take a Feather and rub it all over and shake off the rest this being done take a sheet of clean Paper and lay under the Oyl-Paper then take a Stift and draw all the same stroaks which you drew before upon the Oyl-Paper over again then take the Oyl-Paper off from the other and all the same out-Lines will be upon the clean Paper then if you think good you may finish it up according to the Painting or Print you draw it after A way to decline or bring any Painting or Print into a lesser compass If it be a Painting that you intend to decline then you take a pair of Compasses and divide the length of it into so many equall parts as you think convenient and the breadth also with the very same distances then you must take a piece of Packthread and chalk it then take that Line and strike upon all the parts which you divided with your Compasses so many strait Lines as there are parts in the length then strike them Lines that go in the breadth quite across them in the length so that it may be all uniformed so the like with that as you would have smaller or greater according to your intention and by the distances in the Chequers you guess to draw it smaller accordingly A further direction for Drawing Be sure to place all the Muscles in their right and proper places By the Muscles I mean the shadows that are caused by some dents or swellings in the face or body therefore labour to find out the reason of every Muscle that so you may proceed to work with the more judgement you shall perceive the most Muscles in old and withered faces First you must draw the principle of them and then place the features exactly in their right places observe to shadow them rightly and be sure not to make them too dark where they should be faint for if you should you can never recover it to make them light again the shadowes are generally fainter and lighter in a fair face then in a swarthy complexion And when you have finished your draught you must give it here and there a hard touch where it is darkest shadowed which will adde a great life and grace to it Certain choice Observations concerning Miniture or Limning ERe you begin to paint you must be exact at Design or Draught so as to be able to Copy any Picture in black and white with Cole-black Chalk Black Lead or the like The Colours to be painted with are thus termed White Cereus White Lead Red India lake Red Lead Mynne Yellow Masticot Yellow Ocur English Ocur Green Sap green Pink Blew Verdure Green Bice Terra Vert.

Mine Vermilion Lake Cereus Ana q. s. Mingle white Lead with all the shades Bise To Wash Bise Grinde the Bise first very purely then fill a shell with clean water put the Bise therein stir it and let it settle an hour then reserve the bottome and blow oft the top To deepen this use Litmus Water Deepest shade Umber Cullins earth Pink Lake Ana q. s. Observation in Grindeing Leave not your Colour too moist but thick and clammy if after your Colour be dry you rubbing your finger thereon finde any to come off it must be better bound with Gum Black Cherystone burnt good for Drapery Cereus White To make your Cereus or white Lead that it shall neither rust nor shine both which are no small inconveniences go this way to work before you begin to grinde either of them lay them in the Sun to dry two or three dayes which will exhale those greasie and salt humors that poyson and starve the Colours besides you must scrape away the superficies of the white Lead and only reserve the middle of it grinde it with fair water or Rosemary water with a Pebble on a Porphir When 't is ground have in readiness a Chalk stone with Furrows in it into which put the Colour while 't is wet and it will be exceedingly cleansed thereby After it is through dry reserve it in clean papers and when you would use it put it in a Muscle shell with Gum water made of the whitest Gum Arabick Colours to be ground are these Cereus white Lead India Lake English Ocur Pink Indico Umber Spanish Brown Cullins Earth Cheristone Ivory Colours to be washt are these Red Lead Minne Masticot green Bise Cedar green Ultra Marine blew Bise Smalt Verdure Sap green India Lake Purple Grinde this with Gum water when 't is ground fine before you put it in a shell mix a little powder of white Sugar Candy with it which will make it not crack after this Temperature you may

spread it with your finger thinly about the shell English Ocur Yellow This Colour lies even in the shell of it self and is of great use especially if well ground Pink Green The fairest Pink is best wherewith well ground and tempered with blew Bise makes an excellent green to deepen this Colour in Landskip or Drapery use Indico very finely ground Vmber Brown This Colour is somewhat greasie to cleanse which burn it in a Crucible afterwards grinde it and it will be good Spanish Brown Dark Red Because this Colour is very course you may use Umber and a little Lake tempered instead thereof which is as good Black Black Cherristone and Ivory are both to be burnt in a Crucible and so ground Cherristone is good for Drapery for a black Sattin temper with it a little white India Lake and Indico heighten it with a lighter mixture deepen it with Ivory black This was Hilliards way Ivory Ivory Grinde Ivory with Sugarcandy Colours to be washt and how Red Lead One Instance may serve for all and that shall be of red Lead whereof take as much as you will an Ounce or two put it into a Bason or earthen Dish full of fair water stir it a while together till the water be all coloured let it stand and you will soon perceive a greasie scum to arise which with all the water cast away put fresh water to it and do as before a second time but before the water be half setled pour all the water into a clean Dish to this water in your second Bason you must adde more clean water and mingle both together then let it settle afterwards pour out the water and that small pittance at the bottome is only good which after 't is dry must be taken off with a Feather and put up in papers for use To use it spread a little of it about the sides of a shell and with your finger temper it with Gum water Pencils Choose such Pencils as are clear sharp-pointed not dividing into parts of these you must have in readiness a several Pencil for every several Colour To prepare a Tablet to work on with Miniature for Pictures by the life Take an ordinary playing Card pollish it with a Dogs tooth and make as smooth as you can the white side of it cleansing it from all spots and extuberances then choose of the best abortive Parchment a piece proportionable to your Card which piece with fine and clean Starch paste fast on the Card temper the Starch before you paste it on in the Palm of your hand that it may be free from knots let the Card thus pasted dry then making your Grindeing stone as clean as may be lay the Card thereon with the Parchment side downward then with a tooth burnish or pollish the backside as hard as you can Note that the outside of the skin is best to paint upon and must therefore be outmost To Prime for a Face Your Card thus prepared you are to lay a Ground or Primer of flesh Colour before you begin your work and that must be tempered according to the Complexion of the Face to be drawn if the Complexion be fair temper white red Lead and Lake if an hard swarthy Complexion mingle with your white and red a little fine Masticot or English Ocur but note that your Ground ought alwayes to be fairer then the Face you take for it is a facile matter to darken a light Colour but a difficult to lighten a deep one for in Limning you must never heighten but work them down to their just Colour Your Ground thus prepared you must lay it on the Card ordered as before with a Pencil bigger then ordinary lay it on as smooth even and free from hairs of your Pencil as 't is possible which that you may do fill your Pencil full of Colour rather thin or watrish then thick and gross and with two or three daubes of your great Pencil lay it on in an instant the nimbler it is laid on the evener the Colour will lie Note Note that you ought to cover rather too much then too little with this Prime cover 〈◊〉 what more of the Card with the Ground Colour then you shall use for the Face This done take a pretty large shell of Mother-pearl or another shell and before you 〈◊〉 work temper certain little heaps of several Shadowes for the Face which you may dispose about the edges of the shell The Order of Shadowes for the Face Shadows In all your Shadows remember to mix some white exempli gratiâ for the red in the Cheeks Lips c. temper Lake red Lead and a little white for the blew as the Veines c. a little Indico and white for blew Bise is never used in a Face for the faintest and weakest Colour or Shades Lake-white a little Ocur and a little Indico adding thereto if you will a small pittance of Pink or Masticot for the deeper Shadows white English Ocur Umber for the darkest and hardest Shadows use Lake and Pink mixt with Umber Note that black must not by any means be used in a Face for other Shadows your own observation must direct you for it is impossible to give a general Rule for the Shadows in all Faces unless we could force Nature to observe the same method in Composeing and Modelling them so that one in every Punctilio should resemble the other Light For your Light to draw by a Northern is accounted best which if it fall sloping down from an high window is best of all Position Place your self so to your Desk that the Light may strike in sidelong from the left hand to the right and observe that in all your work it will shew to the best advantage when 't is turned and seen by the same Light it was drawn by Necessaries in Painting Let a Saucer or clean shell of fair water be ever on your right hand wherewith you may temper your Colours and wash your Pencils which you must have on your right hand too together with a brush-Pencil dry to brush and cleanse your work from dust also a sharp Pen-knife wherewith to take away such spots or hairs as may casually mix with your Colours or fall into your Card you may also conveniently cover your Picture with a piece of paper whereon to try your Pencils before you begin to work To begin a Face The first Draught Having these accommodations draw the Lines of Porphile i. e. the outmost stroaks of a Face with Lake and white mingled very faint by this you may conveniently mend the Draught if false with a deeper mixture of the same Colour the Lines being exactly drawn and true proportion observed which is the chiefest thing of concernment next observe the deeper and more remarkable Shadows and with the same faint Crimson Colour of Lake and white give some slight touches and marks somewhat roughly of these Shadows which afterwards you 'l finish The Order to be observed in drawing by
