You have now formed theoutline of the arch. Draw a horizontalline from each side of the top of the arch,and at the respective distances draw otherlines parallel to it; then draw perpen-dicular lines between the horizontal ones,and you will now have formed the in the lines of the two banks,commencing with the left one, and after-wards sketch in the stones on the right of the base of the arch. At rather morethan half the length of the left-hand curved. Fig. 15. lines place a dot, and aaatlier at abouttwo-thirds the distance from the baseof the right-hand curved line; connectthese two dots by a curved line, and tliensketch in the masonry of the archway,as in the example; all that now remainsfor you to do is to fill in the shading,which is done by making short parallelstrokes at equal distances from eachother, as in the example before you.
