NOON—LLANELLTYD VALE, NORTH WALES.
PLATE LVII
PART OF BATTLE ABBEY
This subject is selected, as being the most simple, both in its design and colouring, that could well have been fixed upon: still, however, it will be necessary to give a description of the tints used, viz.—The sky is coloured with indigo alone; the clouds with indigo mixed with light red; the distance, indigo finished with the same colour, and a little lake; the building is washed over with indigo, light red, and a little gamboge; and the shadowed parts of it with indigo and lake, finished with Vandyke brown and a little indigo. The greens in the foreground are composed of indigo, burnt sienna, and gamboge, finished with Vandyke brown.
