THIS design would adapt itself well to a 
cylinder shaped vase by repeating 
two or three times, then treat it in a Jap- 
anese effect with soft Greys and Yellow. 
Draw the design in carefully, outline the 
design with Grey for Flesh so it will be a 
soft Grey when fired, then fire. 
Second Firing — Oil the whole vase 
with Fry's Special oil, pad until quite dry. 
Allow this to stand an hour, then dust the 
vase with Pearl Grey three parts, and Grey 
for Flesh two parts. After this is done, 
with cotton on the back of a brush han- 
dle wipe out the flowers and the lightest 
leaves. After this is thoroughly cleaned, 
paint a thin wash of Lemon Yellow on the 
flowers, and a thin wash of Apple Green 
on the leaves. 
Third Fire — Paint the leaves with 
Shading Green and Grey for Flesh quite 
thin for the medium tone and heavier for 
the darkest leaves. Stamens with a 
light Violet, stem with Violet and Blood 
Red.. 
SHASTA DAISY (Page 91) 
Jeanne M . Stewart 
THESE blossoms being white, it is weP 
to apply background first, then wipe 
out design and paint in at once before 
color dries, that there may be a soft blend- 
ing of the edges. 
A warm grey tone, composed of Stew- 
art's Grey to which a little Pompeian or 
Pompadour Red and Ivory Yellow has 
been added, may be used for background. 
The shadows in the blossoms are made 
with Grey, adding a bit of Yellow Green, 
Ivory Yellow, or Pompeian, as a cooler or 
warmer shade is desired. 
Egg Yellow shaded with Yellow Brown 
and Wood Brown is used for centers of 
flowers. 
Pad the background over some of the 
distant petals in second painting only 
taking out the high lights. 
The Shasta Daisy is quite large, flowers 
being three or more inches in diameter. 
SWEET BRIER (Page 97) 
A. F. Brinion 
PAINT the leaves with Yellow Green and Brown Green, 
the roses with Rose, centers with Yellow Brown and 
Brown Green and Yellow, stems Blood Red and Auburn 
Brown, background with Yellow Brown very thin, Violet 
and Blood Red very thin, The Yellow Brown of background 
just under flowers and Blood Red and Violet farther toward 
outlines. 
Second Firing — Touch up the leaves with Brown 
Green, and Shading Green the flowers. Wash a little Yel- 
low over centers and Rose toward edge of flowers.
