h indigo and madder-lake, kept grey towards the horizon;--the distant buildings with Nos. 7, 8;--No. 7 is mixed with burnt sienna for the greys of the trees: the greens are composed of indigo, burnt sienna, raw sienna, Venetian red, and gamboge;--the gravel with No. 5, a little burnt sienna, and white;--the shadows with No. 7;--figures with positive colours;--foreground slightly washed with No. 1, varied with No. 5;--the pedestal with No. 5, varied at the base with Nos. 6 and 9. _Plate 11._--The sky, indigo and madder lake: the clouds varied with Nos. 8 and 9, and floated over with cobalt: the warm lights with yellow ochre and burnt sienna;--horizon with cobalt and indigo;--the sands with No. 1, shaded with 2 and 6;--the mill with No. 1, lightly floated over with No. 6, and touched in parts with No. 3;--the foreground brought down with brown pink;--the mill, on the left, painted _into_ with Vandyke brown, Indian-red, and No. 5; the lights with No. 4, and roof with No. 3; the sail, Indian red and Vandyke brown; figures, cobalt and vermilion, subdued with No. 6. _Plate 12._--The walls and pavement floated down with No. 1, and toned over with No. 6;--the architectural markings with No. 6 and cobalt, with a little No. 9 in the darkest parts, to give them point;--hollows of the arches with No. 9, and No. 7 worked in;--the window is all laid in with positive colours, brought down on the figures, which are subdued with No. 6;--the altar, banners, priests' robes, books, &c., with chrome and white: their shadows with No. 3;--the curtain with Vandyke brown, Venetian red, and burnt sienna.
