NORWEGIAN BLUEBERRIES FOR A FRUIT PLATE- JEANNE M. STEWART 
THIS graceful little berry is quite similar in growth and 
color to some varieties in our own country. The 
trailing vine grows close to the ground. For painting the 
berries make a mixture of Banding Blue, Ruby Purple and 
Black in two shades, using less of the Ruby and Black for 
the lighter shade. A few touches of clear Ruby Purple 
could be used to advantage in some of the berries not quite 
ripe. Those at the ends of the sprays may be painted with 
a light shade of Yellow Green and shaded with Rub}^ 
Purple. The leaves are a clear pure green with touches of 
warm color (Yellow Brown may be used) on tips of a few 
of these. 
The background shades from Ivory YeUow to Greyish 
Green tones which should be very dark around the princi- 
pal cluster and towards the edge of the plate. Stewart's 
Grey is used with some of the berry color in the lighter 
greys to which Shading Green is added for the darkest 
parts. 
Dusting with powder color in the last painting much 
improves the color and softens shadows.
