Walnut leaves, herbs and the gaps in foliage
The closing entries of the sixth part cover the leaves of the walnut, herbs and leaves in general, and the perforations or gaps through which trees show through one another. Each heading is keyed to a numbered leaf of the treatise.
Precepts for painting the colour of plants
Precepts of plants and greenery, composing in painting the ground of the colours of plants, and a precept for counterfeiting the colour of the leaves close the table. They set out the painter's practical rules for rendering foliage.
