GENERAL REMARKS. 
In painting flowers remember the complimentary 
color of yellow is violet or lavender and you will find the 
shadow tones by adding violet to yellow. For red the 
complimentary color is green (also blue and yellow mixed). 
For blue the complimentary color is orange, obtained by 
mixing red and yellow. 
In purple flowers such as fleur-de-lis use three-fourths 
Dark Blue (Dresden), one and one-fourth Lacroix Ruby 
Purple, this makes a good purple for nearly all purple flowers, 
also Fry's Violet No. 2 and Royal Purple can always be 
depended on. 
Light yellow flowers may be painted with White Rose 
and glazed with Yellow. For yellow flowers such as 
jonquils use light wash of Yellow; in centers, Orange Red 
and Yellow Brown. Shadowy leaves, Copenhagen Blue 
and a little Pink. Leaves in blue green tones. For dark 
rich reds like currants, poppies, geraniums, nasturtiums, 
etc., use Blood Red and Ruby glazed with Carnation 
MINIATURE FLOWERS. 
Small Roses — In painting small roses or any small 
flowers it is a good plan to hold in mind a definite color 
scheme, if the flowers are pink use shades of that color 
in the general scheme; if yellow, shades of yellow and violet, 
not a medley of pink, yellow, red and purple. For small 
pink or creamy roses, Rose near center and Rose and Yel- 
low for outside petals. For a deeper pink a touch of Rose 
and Ruby in center of some of them. Small pink roses 
may first be painted in Light Yellow and Carnation in cen- 
ter, second fire wash of Rose. 
For small yellow roses, first, Primrose Yellow; center, 
touches of Yellow Brown; shadows, Violet No. 2 and Yel- 
low Brown. Shadow roses, Violet of Iron and Yellow 
Brown. 
For dark red roses (small) Ruby, first fire. Second 
fire, Roman Purple Leaves or small roses soft, tender 
green, Brown and Apple Green, Violet No. 2 with Light 
Green. Violet of Iron and Brown Green for warm, deep 
shadow leaves. 
Pleliotrope may also be classed with miniature flowers. 
For light tones use Blue Violet (No.i), little Turquoise 
Blue, model with Deep Violet; Yellowish Green for centers; 
shadow flowers, Violet No. 2 and Grey; leaves, Yellow, 
Olive and Blue Green, a wash of Rose when a pinkish tone 
is desired. Much depends on the handling of light and 
shade ; leaves simple and flat. 
Lilacs— These small flowers require careful modeling 
to obtain desired effects. The design should be washed 
in with Violet No. 2 and little Deep Blue Green, then with 
brush take out shapes or light flowers, these to have a 
wash of Lavender. Centers, Yellow; buds, soft green; 
second fire, retouch and strengthen. Add a touch of Rose 
to Violet to get a pinkish tone. White lilacs are treated in 
much the same way using the Grey tone to model with. 
Small Asters— For the darkest use Ruby, Royal Blue 
and Black, next shade, Banding Blue and Ruby. Lightest 
flowers Blue Green and Violet, leave some flowers almost 
white for first fire. For pink flowers, Pompadour, Albert 
Yellow and Olive Green in centers. Flush pink flowers 
with Rose, bluish ones with Banding Blue and darker ones 
with Violet and Royal Blue.
