When the sky of a landscape negative is thin, dirty, or uneven, it is better to render it entirely opaque, and print clouds in the proof by a second operation. Go round the edge of all the subject part with a fine brush and any kind of yellow paint. Take great care to preserve the outline of the picture part, and afterward go over the whole sky with "opaque," taking care that no part is left uncovered.

On the surface thus prepared any work may easily be put with the pencil. After the amateur acquires a little skill and experience he may try his hand at painting in sheep on a lawn, swans on lakes, a boat on a river, or essay flights of genius in other or similar directions.
