17. How to Shadow every colour in Garments,
or Drapery.
Take this Rule, that every Colour is made to sha∣dow
it self, or if you mingle it with White for the
light, and so shadow it with the same colour un∣mingled
with White, else take off the thinnest of
the colour for the light, and so shadow it with the
thickest bottom of the colour; if you will have your
shadow of a darker colour, then the colour it self
is to shadow the deepest places.
