the lightest ones and Brown Green and Shading Green 
for the dark ones. 
If you wish a dark ground use Shading Green but 
add a little Orange Red to soften it and use some Violet 
of Iron in the shadowy leaves that go under the tint. 
If you wish to use a light ground, Copenhagen Grey 
and Brown Green will be good. Sometimes the rose leaves 
have turned to the autumn colors, yellows, reds and russet 
browns, when the rose hips are ripe.

WILD ROSES (Page 30) 
Maud E. Hulbert. 
THE roses may be painted either with Pompadour, 
Warm Grey, and a little Lemon Yellow, or with Rose 
for the first firing, with thin washes of Lemon Yellow over . 
some of the lights, and Brown Green over the shadows 
for the second. 
For the centers Lemon Yellow, Yellow Ochre, a 
touch of Orange and a very little Green. For the leaves 
Yellow Green, Moss Green, Brown Green and Shading 
Green, and for the lightest leaves at the top, some Deep 
Blue Green with the Moss Green, and for the stems a little 
Pompadour with the Finishing Brown. 
Flush with Apple Green and Ochre or Yellow Green, 
and tint with Ivory.

ROSES (Page 26) 
A my Dalrymple. 
IN painting the roses for the first firing treat the three 
pink ones almost entirely for the light and shade 
effect, using Rose color only very delicately on the very tips 
of the petals. Get the modeling of them by using a tender 
grey made of Myrtle Green and Rose blended in the brush 
as used to avoid monotony. Have your square shader 
brush in a good free condition, just enough oil, just enough 
turpentine and plenty enough of paint so that each brush 
mark may be a joy. For the centres of the pink roses 
which are in shadow, use this same grey with Carnation 
added and in the very darkest places a little Ruby also. 
Leave the very lightest parts of the pink roses pure white 
this time. For the two darker roses use pure Ruby for 
heart of rose and edges of petals painted very solidly yet 
smoothly, and for the outside or backs of petals use Ruby 
with Deep Blue Green and a little Yellow Brown (this last 
to avoid too violet a color). Paint lighter leaves with 
Apple Green, Primrose Yellow and Shading Green, and the 
darker ones with rich Brown Green added where the petals 
of the upper roses rest against them. Let the background 
echo the colors already used, very delicate Apple Green 
and Yellow at the botton and then warmth where needed 
in a bit of Yellow Brown and coolness where needed with 
a touch of Myrtle Green and becoming very rich with Brown 
Green, Shading Green, Hair Brown and Ruby at top. 
Dust lower part of background with Apple Green, Pearl 
Grey and Yellow Brown and pink roses with Rose color; 
the dark ones dust with Ruby and upper part of the back- 
ground with Myrtle Green, Ruby and Hair Brown. 
For second fire add whatever is needed in the model- 
ing and blending of the light and shade, by using same 
colors on pink roses and leaves and Finishing Brown for 
the deep darks of the red roses. 
For third fire, wash pink roses with rose color, make 
color richer on dark spots if needed (more Finishing Brown 
or Ruby or both) and wash leaves with clear Yellow Green , 
Yellow or Yellow Brown for sunlight effects.

ist Fire. For the haws use Capucine Red for the 
lightest part modeling with Deep Red Brown or Blood 
Red. 
For the leaves in the foreground which are much 
lighter and brighter than the others, use Moss Green, Brown 
Green and a little Shading Green. For the distant leaves 
use Grey Green (§ Apple Green \ Black). Give the stems 
a light wash of Auburn Brown and the thorns Deep Red 
Brown.

background using for the lightest part at the top, Chinese 
Yellow, gradually blending into Yellow Brown, Deep Red

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS 
N. B. — For the powder enamels use Fat oil of turpentine and oil of laven- 
der. Mix the powder with enough Fat oil to barely make it stick together; 
breathe on it, rubbing with a bone palette knife, add a little lavender, con- 
tinuing to breathe upon the mixture, make soft enough so that it can be easily 
taken on a brush but stiff enough so that it will not flatten down, if it flattens 
breathe upon it and turn over with the palette knife till it stiffens, if too oily 
add more lavender. 
Mrs. W. T. C. — Raised paste for gold is mixed the same as powder enamel, 
see answer to N. B. We are always glad to see designs by subscribers but 
can not always purchase for many reasons, either they are not properly drawn 
for reproduction, are similar to subjects we already have on hand, or we have 
so much material already that we can not use more. Sometimes the designs 
are not good or original enough. However, we always give attention to 
everything sent and purchase, if possible. 
X — You will find full information on lustres in January and February 
1906 Keramic Studio, which are out of print but which you must have as 
you say you had the Magazine for four years. Lustres can be applied at the 
same time as tinting, as long as it does not touch. You will find full instruc- 
tion in regard to paste for gold in December 1905 Keramic Studio. No one 
mixes an entire bottle of paste at once. Take just enough fat oil to make 
the paste stick together. Lavender oil is used for thinning. 
CLASS ROOM COMPETITION
