If, as in the copy, you use a colored or blackbackground, you can use a piece of chalk cut to a fine pointbefore you finally paint it, and afterward wipe off with acloth. Make your main strokes as you would with a penciland leave off all minor ornaments. Then mark out the exactshapes of the two broad panels that show black scrolls onwhite. Now use white paint, first filling in the broad panels,so that they will be dry after you have first completed yourmain strokes and added the ornaments in white; then, withblack paint, put your ornaments into the white panels. Final Scroll Practice. To vary your brush strokes and to become thoroughly ex-pert you must reverse your copy, first placing it in bothhorizontal positions and then in the two upright poses. Youwill be pleased and surprised at the difference in the work.
