"C^OR the pink flowers use Peach Blossom and 
-■- Ashes of Roses, keeping only one or two 
blossoms prominent, the rest in shadow. Make 
background tones warm and yellow for first fire, 
leaving detail for second or third fire. Keep the 
greens soft and grey, and blend flowers, leaves 
and background together, except in most promi- 
nent part where strong accent may be placed. 
TREATMENT FOR LADY'S SLIPPER

H. Barclay Paist. 
THE sepals and lip-like center of the flower are 
white. The values may be secured by shad- 
ing with Grey for Flowers or soft Grey Green. The 
cup of the flower is shaded delicately with Rose 
and spotted at regular intervals near the top with 
Ruby. This is a difficult flower to describe and 
if a student is not familiar with it, it would be 
much safer to use monochrome treatment. The 
backs of the leaves would better be kept a soft 
grey green, rather light; the inside or front of the 
leaves, stronger. Paint first with Dark Green and 
dry dust or glaze with Moss Green. The prettiest 
background for this study would be a light tone 
of Grey Green or Apple Green. If the study is to 
be applied to a vase, one can use a shaded back- 
ground running from Grey Green at the top to Dark Green 
at the base. 
For monochrome treatment select green or grey. For 
green scheme use Grey Green, Olive Green, Dark Green and 
Moss Green for glazing. For grey scheme, Copenhagen 
(Blue and Grey) ; if too cold glaze delicately with Ivory Yellow.
