It is said that, in lighting and shading, a thick brush should be used²¹. In the application of any colour, darkness is obtained by the thickness of the paint and the lightness by thinness, and this feature is common to all colours²². Coming to the final outlining, the Śilparatna lays down the rule that, where there is white, yellow, blue or red, the outline should be drawn in lampblack with a thin brush²³. - [Previous: c10.31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.chandra-1949.c10.31) - [Next: c10.33](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.chandra-1949.c10.33) - [Up: c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.chandra-1949.c10) ## Cites (1) - [Śilparatna](https://indike.org/pramana/in.art.silpa.dravida.silparatna) — Śrīkumāra (Śilparatna) 1500, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.chandra-1949.c10.32](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.chandra-1949.c10.32) · Pramāṇa
