HOLLY BERRIES- J li ANNE M. STEWART 
IN sketching this design it should be borne in mind 
that the French holly berries are larger and many 
more in a cluster than those in the United States. 
Lay in the berries first in a tone composed of equal 
parts of Yellow Red and Pompadour No. 23 shaded 
with Pompadour No. 23. The darker berries and those 
in shadow with Stewart's Pompadour with | Ruby Pur- 
ple. The leaves which are very dark and glossy in Yel- 
low Green, Turquoise Green, Olive Green and Shading 
Green. Care should be taken with the sharp narrow 
points of the leaves which are often tipped with a faded 
brown. Chestnut Brown to which a little Pompadour has 
been added makes a good color. The background in soft 
greens and greys is added in the second fire, shading 
from ivory yellow to the dark tones under the leaves, 
made with Shading Green and Stewart's Grey, Brown, 
Green, Pompadour and Ruby Purple. 
The bright reds should not be touched in the second 
fire but in the third the whole design should be brightened 
and strengthened and shadows added. 
Pompadour and Grey in equal parts, forms an ex- 
cellent shade for the shadows. These reds should be given 
careful firing as much depends upon this for a bright, 
brilliant red.
