As the light is required to be broad, an open scene appears well calculated to produce the effect; and a Corn-field is made choice of. The colours for the sky are indigo and lake; the foliage in the distance, indigo and Indian red; the corn-field, yellow ochre, finished with yellow ochre and Vandyke brown; the bushes in front, indigo, Indian red, and brown pink; the road, light red; the foreground finished with Vandyke brown.
PLATE LXI
EVENING. VIEW OF WINDSOR CASTLE
The upper part of the sky is coloured with indigo, lake, and a little gamboge, gradually softened in with light ochre as it descends, and toward the horizon with light red. The Castle is laid in with a warm tint of indigo and light red, then shaded lightly with indigo and lake. The different greens in the woods are composed of indigo, burnt sienna, and gamboge, varied as required; the shadows in the nearer parts, indigo and burnt sienna; the water with the same colours. The trees in the foreground are indigo and burnt sienna, and the finishing touches with Vandyke brown. The whole of the foreground and wood glazed with brown pink.
