KERAMIC STUDIO 
191 
TREATMENT FOR POPPIES (Supplement) 
T. McLennon Hinman 
THIS study is painted on a light tinted paper, and the paper 
should be considered much as the background would, 
were the same studj' done on white paper, as for instance, a 
greenish tint for red and j^ellow flowers; for blue or purple a 
tan shade; white or such flowers as require accent a cold grey- 
ish tint. 
The poppies are done in three shades of red carmine, saf- 
flower and vermillion, for the shadow tone carmine and Van 
Dyke brown, for the light and half-tone safflower. These 
colors are used as a ground and no white is used until the 
study is covered. Then Aermillion and white for the high light 
and safflower and white for the middle tone. When this is 
quite dry a very brifliant color may be obtained by using saf- 
flower clear as a wash over the whole flower. 
The greens are made b\' using three colors and these three 
colors will prove satisfactory for all greens, and all greens are 
most difficult to those who paint in a medium with which they 
are unfamiliar. 
Indian yellow, Prussian blue and Payne's grej'. These 
will give any shade desired for a middle or dark tone; for the 
lightest or a shade that is of a blueish cast, emerald green, 
lemon yellow and white. Van Dyke brown, carmine or burnt 
sienna may be used to vary the shade. 
The same colors as the half tone for leaves maj^ be used 
in a background for any flower. 
The backgrotmd for this studj^ may be any color, yellow 
or blue, Payne's grey or Hooker's green, brown, pink, and 
burnt sienna with blue. 
The brushes are eight and ten square shaders and the 
same numbers pointed shaders. 
A more complete article on water color painting by Mrs. Hinman will 
appear in one of the coming issues.
