CHERRIES 
Treatment by Mary Alta Morris 
USE Yellow Red on light 
side, hading in Pom- 
padour and Blood Red, Yel- 
low Brown for reflected light, 
or where reflected light is 
very clear use Albert Yellow 
for first painting and retouch 
with Yellow Brown. For 
dark cherries use Blood Red 
and Ruby, adding a little 
black for darkest part. Care 
must be taken that the re- 
flected light be clearly pointed 
and the high light wiped out 
to get them round and juicy 
looking, though some should 
be kept rather flat, as they 
appear back of the main 
ones. For the less ripe ones 
use Yellow Green, Yellow 
Brown for reflected light, 
shade with Brown Green, use 
Yellow Red on some to show 
a degree of ripeness. 
The stems of cherries should 
be taken out light, afterwards 
painting in with Yellowish 
Green. For main branch use 
Brown Green, Yellow Brown, 
Finishing Brown, having light 
tone of Copenhagen Blue in 
high light. For leaves Moss 
Green, Brown Green, Shading 
Green, adding a touch of Ruby 
to green for dark leaves be- 
hind cherries. 
The background should be 
put in with Lemon Yellow, 
adding Violet for grey tones 
under branch, blending 
into warmer tones of Yellow 
Brown and Brown Green, 
allowing some of the Ruby 
and Blood Red used in cher- 
ries to melt into background, 
for the darker effects. 
Use same colors for re- 
touching, avoid painting each 
cherry with same idea of 
roundness and color, allow 
some to remain flat, others 
may need only dark tone in 
centre strengthened, and if 
any are too purple use more 
Blood Red this time. On 
some of the prominent dark 
cherries use a light wash of 
Banding Blue on right side 
near high light. Third paint- 
ing is mostly light washes 
here and there to harmonize 
the whole with a few strong 
touches in stems and cherries.
