shader. Dip the tip end of the brush in turpentine and then 
in medium and color, mixing until the color is absorbed in the 
brush and when applied will make a long, even stroke. A little 
practice will teach you if you get it too thin or if it works too 
dry. The yellow tone is represented by the lightest tone 
in the study and should be carried almost to the outline of 
the design. Next apply Yellow Brown which is blocked or 
clouded over the yellow wash. Pounce this lightly with a 
silk pad but not enough to dry it or obliterate the blocky 
brush stroke. Next mix a Grey in your brush of Dark 
Green, Sevres Blue, using turpentine only. A touch of 
Ruby can be added to this Grey occasionally which warms 
it and gives the desired varied tones. With this color over 
the padded background, paint in the shadowy leaves which 
are kept flat, and next to the main body of the design occa- 
sional darker touches may be blended in of Brown Green and 
Dark Green mixed. Take the wet pad which you used on 
your background, and very lightly and carefully pad the 
leaves which will soften and give the desired flat effect. 
You are now ready for the design. If the color from 
your background has padded into the main leaves, simply 
let it draw in with the wash which you put on the leaf, in 
the same manner that you handle the color for the first 
wash on the background with the turpentine and oil. If 
the leaf is green, wash with Yellow Green, adding an oc- 
casional touch of Demon Yellow or Deep Blue Green. The 
darkest touches are Brown Green and Dark Green. The 
two colors are mixed in the brush with a small amount of 
turpentine. Wipe the brush dry (do not dip in turpentine ; 
with a light stroke drawing from the light to the dark, the 
strokes can be softened. 
Wash all brown or reddish leaves with Yellow, always
