HERAMIC STUDIO 
ARBUTUS (SUPPLEMENT) 
Maud E. Hulbert 
"O OSE (or Pompadour 23), Lemon Yellow, Yellow Ochre 
AV Chestnut Brown, Copenhagen Grey, Warm Grey, 
Deep Blue Green, Yellow Green, Moss Green J, Brown Green. 
Paint the buds and outside of the flowers with Rose 
(or Pompadour) for the first firing and the insides with a 
thin wash of Brown Green, in some a very little Ochre or a 
little Copenhagen Grey, in the very centers a touch of Lemon 
Yellow and Brown Green, and in some Chestnut. Use the 
Moss Green and Yellow Green for the lighter leaves and 
Brown Green and Chestnut for the darker ones. 
For the stems use Chestnut and a very little Pompadour. 
Use Deep Blue Green, Warm Grey, Copenhagen Grey and 
Ochre in the background. 
Do not mix the colors on the palette with a knife but 
wash one into or over another. If possible avoid using the 
Rose in the second firing but shade with light washes of 
Lemon Yellow or Brown Green. Do not use Warm Grey 
with Rose but if the Pompadour is used in place of Rose, 
the Warm Grey should be used with it. 
WATER COLORS 
Carmine, Lemon Yellow, Roman Ochre, Hooker's 
Green 1 and 2, Olive Green, Sap Green, New Blue, Burnt 
Sienna. 
To keep the colors clear and to get good greys in water 
colors avoid mixing the colors on the palette by rubbing 
one color into another, but take the two or three colors to 
be used into the brush without mixing. For instance the 
background is New Blue, Carmine and Roman Ochre (or 
Brown Pink) and one can easily see by a little experiment 
that a muddy grey is obtained by mixing and a clear one by 
taking the colors into the brush separately. Use rather a 
heavy paper and if possible a large sable brush.
