After painting, if the colour fires out also light, it must be strength-ened by washing over with some of the pure color. If the function in gen-eral is pale or dull it can be brightened by strengthening the shadowsand half-tones, and lastly washing in the regional color. As a rule, shadowsshould be painted darker than they are to be when fired, as dark colorslose more in proportion than light colors in firing. When a colour is toodark it may be corrected by washing over it a contrasting colour. For in-stance, if the pupil of an eye has been made a deep black, it will looklike a staring spot and spoil the impact of the painting, but a wash ofyellow ochre or yellow brown over the spot will modify the intense black-ness by lowering the tone.
