Crayon portraiture; complete instructions for making crayon portraits on crayon paper and on platinum, silver, and bromide enlargements, also directions for the use of transparent liquid water colors and for making French crystals . ice stone asdescribed in the fourth method on page 70, treat the wholesurface of the paper with pumice stone in order to raise thegrain of the paper, but go over the face lightly. Thenplace the strainer on which the portrait is mounted on theeasel, and put in the shadows with the tortillon stump, pro-ducing the lights with the eraser; finish with the No. 0crayon. But instead of producing a diamond effect, as youdid with the lines, you now want to have a stipple effect,which is that of small black and white spots; the paperproducing the white spots, and the crayon the black produce this make the lines in the shadows and half-shadows, but not in the light places, in the manner shownin the illustration on the following page; instead ofcrossing them to form diamonds, using short lines andvarying their direction and intersection with reference tothe ultimate effect; then rub them with the end of thefinger. In finishing, gradually divide up all the small light 6o Crayon LINES TO PRODUCE THE STIPPLE the Annual Encyclopedia, Copyrighted, i8qi, by D.

Be careful not to get too muchcrayon on the paper, that is, you must not force up or becompelled to make the shadows too dark by the use of thecrayon; they should be made as dark as necessary with thestump before finishing. Should you find in finishing thatthey are not dark enough, use the stump to make themdarker, as the pencil is only intended to give the stippleeffect, and should be used in a very light and delicate the process of finishing according to the directionshereafter given for
