is here recommended, after the firft or lighteft Carmine is laidon 
to fofteti it with a faint Waflh of Prulian Blue, then poedwit 
pure Carmine; and, to give Power to the darkeft Pars of the 
'Flower, and Reundnefs to its Appearance, add a little Indico. 
If one is repreknted fo much blown as to fhew theButtons in the 
Middle, they are firft to be laid with Gamboge, and fhadowed 
with Gall-ftone. The Stalks are brownifh, done with Sap-Green 
and a little Carmine; adding Indico for the Shades, on the dark 
Side. The upper Sides of the Leaves are done with Sap-Green, 
fhadow'd with FrenchBerries and Indico mixed together, to make 
a dark Green. The Barks, or under Sides, are dullifh Green, 
made with White, Indico, and a little Sap-Green. It is not 
p leafing in Nature, but to make fome of the Leaves a yellowifh 
Brown, as if withering, gives a natural and pleafant Air in Paint- 
ing, which is to be donewith aMixture of GambogeSap-Green, 
and Carmine.
