Take a little White, and twice as much Vermi∣lion, and as much Lake, temper these well together upon your Pallat with the flat blade of your knife; lay aside by it self on your Pallat the greatest quan∣tity of this to be used for the deepest Carnation of the Face.
Put more White to that which remains, and tem∣per that well with your knife, and being well tem∣pered lay some of that aside also for your lighter Carnation.
To the remainder add yet more White, and tem∣per it upon your Pallat till you have brought it to the lightest colour of your Face.
Your Carnations being thus tempered, and or∣derly laid upon your Pallat, prepare your faint Sha∣dows. For which,
Take Smalt, and mix it with a little White, which may serve for the Eyes; lay aside the greatest quan∣tity, and to the rest add a little Pink, this well tem∣pered and laid by it self will serve for the faint green∣ish shadows in the Face.
Now prepare your deep Shadows; for which take Lake, Pink, and Black, of each a like quantity, temper all these together.
If the parties Face you are to draw, or the Picture you are to copie do require the Shadows to be red∣der than what you have tempered, then add a little more Lake; if yellower, add a little more Pink; if blewer or grayer, add a little more Black.
This done, your Pallat is prepared with Colours for any fair Face.
