ART OF PAINTING.-Being practically acquainted with every branch of
painting, from the plainest house and ship-work, to the finest miniature portraits, we
propose to give in a series of numbers, complete instructions in every branch, including the
mosaic and fresco landscape in oil, transparencies, carriage ornamenting, sign lettering,.
claro-obscuro, glass-staining, perspective, portrait, and miniature gilding, burnishing,
varnishing & c. We shall be particularly explicit with regard to the preparation of
colors and execution of plain work, that many of those who have had no instruction, may
be enabled to accomplish small jobs in this line occasionally, for their own amusement or
convenience.
