wrinkles and spots of water,) press it well on until every part is
stuck fast, then carefully rub the paper all away to a mere film;
give the glass then, over this film, another coat of demar varnish,
which will make the film transparent; let it dry; then place the
glass, with the varnished side towards you, between you and
the light, and you will see the outlines of the picture quite
distinctly; you may then paint on the back with tube paints, mixed
with a little demar varnish to assist in drying, to suit your taste.
For instance, if the picture is that of a lady, you may paint the
dress red, the shawl or cape, as it may be, blue, the face flesh
colour, (which colour may be made by mixing a little red with
white,) the bonnet scarlet, the shoes black; if trees, have them
green, &c. All you want for this painting you may also buy at the
druggist's. This painting is very simple and elegant, it is commonly
taught at a cost of $3. Try it, you cannot fail.
