PLATE BORDERS- -E. STONER 
No. i — Pink Roses. 
WASH in the flat leaves with Grey made by mixing Sevres 
Blue, Dark Green and a little Ruby. Day in the 
more prominent leaves with a wash of Yellow Green ; fill the 
brush with the mixture of Dark Green and Brown Green. 
Block this in next to the roses, wipe the brush dry and 
soften this color into the yellow green leaves, picking out 
one or two prominently. Do not lose the forms of the 
leaves. These can be padded lightly with an oily pad. 
If you have lost the form of the rose, clean it with a turpen- 
tine brush. Now with small strokes, block in the heart, 
shade under the bowl of the rose, tint the sides of the bowl 
lightly but do not carry the color across the middle of the 
bowl or on the strongest highlights. With a brush cleaned 
in turpentine, pick out over the leaves the little crisp turn- 
overs on the edges of the petals. Stems of Ruby and Hair 
Brown. 
Second Firing. — Tint border with four parts of Yellow 
Green mixed with three parts of Demon Yellow; covering 
leaves, deepen leaves next to roses with Brown Green and 
Dark Green in the same manner as the first working, pick- 
ing out tip ends of prominent leaves. With a fine liner 
containing Brown Green, mixed in turpentine, accent the 
veins and a few of the edges of the leaves. Strengthen the 
roses, keeping the whole mouth of the rose several tones 
darker than the light on the bowl and in the darkest touch 
in the center use a little Ruby and Rose mixed. Pick out 
high-lights. Accent stems and paint in thorns. 
No. 2- 
Same method as No. 
-Violets. 
i. Only shadowy violets are 
painted in Sevres Blue (or Deep Blue Green) and Deep 
Violet Gold mixed to a rather bluish tone. The darkest 
touches in the shadows are accented with the same mixture
