This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1907 Excerpt: ...of the drawing. 78. Grass Land is shown by a flat tint of green. P.B. + G. + Y.O. is suitable for this purpose. In meadow land where clover may be supposed to grow, spots of C.L. may be introduced by the method explained in Art. 72. 79. Cleared Land, Plate III, is shown by a flat ground color of green as for grass land, with a mottling of B.S. as explained in Art. 72. 80. Cultivated Land, Plate III. A flat ground tint of B.S. is first laid on, and over this are ruled lines of the same color, but mixed considerably stronger. For variety P.G. + a very little C.L. may also be used for some fields. 81. Sand and Gravel, Plate III. For sand a flat tint of Y.O. is used, and gravel is indicated by dots of B.S. put on with the tip of a small brush or with a coarse pen. 82. Mud is shown by groups of short horizontal lines as in plain topographical drawing (Art. 52), except that a rather heavy tint of S. is used in the ruling pen instead of India ink. A wash of S. should first be laid over the whole area just strong enough to dim the whiteness of the paper. 83. Individual Trees, Plate III, should first be plainly outlined in pencil, after which a bright, and decidedly yellowish green composed of P.B. and G. is laid over the whole area. The lower right-hand half of each tree is then colored with a much stronger bluish green. This should be applied with a rather dry brush, and, along the edge which lies in the diameter of the tree, the touch should be very light and with the tip of the brush, so there will be spots here and there not covered by the color. That is, the effect along this line should be that of "dragging" on a very small scale. The object is to avoid too sudden a transition from the bright, illuminated side to the side which is in shade. Next the...
