APPLE STUDY (October Supplement) 
M. M. Mason 
For the study of apples the general palette is required, 
ranging through the yellows, yellow browns and reds; the 
yellow greens, blue greens and dark greens; the greys, 
violets, ruby and black. The background is painted with 
Yellow Brown, French Grey, Shading and Dark Green. 
For the leaves use Celadon and YeUow Green, modeling 
slightly with Shading and Dark Green and Violet. 
Lay them in, in simple fiat tones and depend on the sub- 
sequent paints for accents of color. The brightest note of 
color in the apples is Carnation, the deeper ones. Blood Red 
and Blood Red and Ruby, with Albert Yellow in the lighter 
tones. When dry, the same colors are used in dusting, 
carrying the French Grey over most of the greens. Retouch 
by washes of color carried over the entire surface of the 
panel, rather than by working out individual parts, as in this 
way a simpler and less realistic effect is obtained. 
GRAPES. 
M. E. Hulbert 
This design would be effective worked out in mono- 
chrome. Shading green would be a good color. The band 
may be done in a similar color but with a mat surface and the 
letters in a greenish gold and the shading of the letters in 
shading green, or the band may be of green bronze (the met- 
al) and the letters in shading green. It will require at least 
three firings. 
A good color scheme would be green grapes with yellowish 
lights through them and blue green leaves on a warm back- 
ground. 
In the grapes use yellow, green, yellow ochre, warm grey 
and a little brown green; for the background, yellow och/e 
and chestnut brown, violet of iron and chocolate brown, 
yellow green, brown green, moss green and shading green 
and a Httle deep blue green for the leaves. The band to be 
done in gold with the letters in black on finishing brown.
