TREATMENT FOR CRABAPPLES (Page 229) 
Amy Dalrymple. 
FIRST fire: Carnation, Primrose Yellow and sometimes 
Apple Green for lightest parts, using Carnation with 
Blood- Red and a bit of Ruby for deepest darks. Let the 
bloom show toward some of the edges of apples, using for 
it Deep Blue Green, just tempered with Ruby. For leaves, 
Apple Green and occasionally Primrose Yellow and a little 
Yellow Brown and Moss Green for light parts, keeping 
shadows cool with Myrtle and Shading Green, kept quite 
grey by adding Carnation in parts. Dust with same colors. 
2d fire. Darken and blend above colors as needed, 
taking care to get light and shade strong enough in this 
painting so it shall need nothing in the 3d fire but harmon- 
izing washes. 
3d fire. Wash all surfaces as needed. Thinnest Yel- 
low and Yellow Brown for sunlight touches on edges of 
leaves. Strong color where desirable and dust all sur- 
face once more. 
The flowers and leaves will need a second painting to 
strengthen and show shadows, but the seed heads must re- 
main very light, showing little detail and melt into the 
background at the edges.
