SALAD SET, CUCUMBER MOTIF— H. B. PAIST 
AFTER placing and outlining the design in Black (water 
mixture), tint the entti'e bowl a warm Ivovj and fire. 
To give the outside of the bowl a deeper tint than the inside, 
tint and fire again before laying the colors of the design. The 
flowers are then laid with a medium strong wash of Albert Yel- 
low, or any Yellow that answers to this yellow in strength. 
(They are the color of Jonquils.) The ivory tone underneath 
and the black outline will both help to keep the color from be- 
coming too intense. Use Grey Green for the leaves and stems 
(if you haven't a good Grey Green soften and grey your color 
by adding Neutral Yellow and Black;) also the band and 
lines above and below the design and at the extreme base. 
This applies to the outside of the bowl. For the inside 
(using the band and circular unit) lay the colors thinner and 
CENTER OF SALAD SET PIECE 
the panels in the band may be either a light, soft tint of Grey 
Greenor a deeper tint of old ivory, Neutral Yellow. If the 
green is right in color and value it is perhaps preferable as it 
keeps the border from becoming spotty. As shown in the 
reproduction, the values in the central unit are too strong for 
use inside of the band. It will be all right if used as decoration 
on top of box, etc., but the contrasts are too strong for the 
inside of our bowl and should be lessened. 
If the colors are dusted on, one application will do; if washed 
on, we may have to go over them twice to flatten and get the 
exact strength we wish. If one prefers the gold bands instead 
of the green they should be outlined to help give emphasis to 
the design and to hold it together. 
For the plate the same color scheme and treatment may 
be followed.
