For fine work use thefinest brush, and put in clearly and with a firm hand the deepest markingsof the eyes, nostrils, lips, ears and fingers. Then with a large brush washin the broad shadows, using the paler shade of the burnt sienna. Be care-ful not to touch the broad highlights. If the eyes are brown they may beput in with burnt sienna, also.
