(1) Prepare the parchment with "pounce" as for writing. Use ordinary water-colours mixed with alum-water. The alum makes the parchment take the paints readily. Go over the part to be painted quickly with the colour. It is best to have the parchment on a slanting surface, as then the water does not soak in so much. Parchment does not cockle unless wet through.
(2) Green. Boil 8 parts cream of tartar and 30 of crystallized verdigris in 500 water; when this solution is cold, pour into it 4 parts nitric acid. Moisten the parchment with a brush, and then apply the above liquid evenly over its surface. The necessary surface finish is given with white of eggs, or mucilage of gum-arabic.
