RERAMIC STUDIO 
TULIP STUDY 
Nancy Beyer 
FIRST fire — Background, Pearl Grey; leaves, Apple 
Green and Grey Green in shad ows| only, leaving the 
china white on the high lights, deepening the color in shad- 
ows with Gold Grey and a very little Ruby for the darkest 
touches, put in the shadows of the flowers in the sketchy 
way, shadows Air Blue and very little Brown Green, warm 
the petals with very little Rose or Peach Blossom used very 
thinly leaving the china for high lights. Stamens, Apple 
Green tone with a very little Yellow Brown, with touches of 
the same on the stems. 
Second fire — Tone the whole thing with Pearl Grey 
and very little Gold Grey, just a touch, wiping out the 
pinks and when the color has fired out use the same colors 
used before, use Shading Green where necessary, fire. 
Third fire — Deepen colors where they have fired out, 
soften andi^draw them together where necessary, adding 
the darker touches. 
This tulip study could be applied to a panel and the 
soft grey background shading gradually from top to bottom. 
The treatment I have here given is for a decorative study 
of the tulips, as the tulips suggest that, in the way in which 
they have been treated in the pen and ink.

TREATMENT FOR BOWL 
Mrs. A.L.B. Cheney. 
AFTER dividing the bowl, trace the design and outline in 
Japanese ink. If the bottle ink is used, it may fire in 
when the color is dusted over it. Place medallion at three 
points on outside of bowl, trace and outline. Apply special 
oil and, after a few moments, pad evenly. When thor- 
oughly dry, dust with equal parts Ivory glaze and Grey 
Green. Clean out the design and fire. 
Second fire: Apply special oil on spaces representing 
the design, pad and dust with 4 parts Empire Green, 1 part 
Brown Green; clean out the background. Medallions on 
outside treated in same way. For lines enclosing center 
figure, for bottom of bowl inside, use same combination 
of Brown-Green and Empire-Green.

THORN APPLE (Page 285) 
Maud E. Hulbert 
THE petals of the blossoms may be shaded with Warm 
Grey and Brown Green (or Grey for Flowers.) Use a 
little Silver Yellow in the centers and Apple Green and 
Brown Green for the little new leaves. The stem may be 
painted with Finishing Brown, Deep Blue Green and 
Yellow Ochre and the ground with Copenhagen Grey and 
Blue. Very light washes of Deep Blue Green over the 
petals in some places add to the effect of whiteness and 
over others use a wash of Ivory Glaze.
