oils, but if it is used too freely without another medium to 
counteract it, it becomes sticky or tacky and the color will pull 
up on the dabber in spots; by adding a drop or two of Clove 
Oil this tendency will be obviated. By adding too much 
Clove Oil the color will run or settle in little bubbles. When 
this is the case add more color. By learning the character- 
istics of these various oils, one can use them quite independ- 
ently and if one oil is not convenient another may be used, if 
it is properly understood. 
A decorator is much more independent when he or 
she understands the chemistry of the mediums and the 
colors and it is the duty of students to inform themselves, 
in spite of the various concoctions that are sold ready for 
use. 
TREATMENT FOR INDIAN PLAQUE (SUPPLEMENT) 
Henrietta Barclay Paist 
FOR the face-shading and for the brown back of the feathers 
use Sepia Brown. For the local tone of the buckskin 
and the buckskin color in the background, Yellow Brown, 
Spear, Yellow Brown shaded with Sepia. For the tips of 
feathers and outer border Chocolate or Dark Brown. For the 
green leaves a very thin wash of Shading Green will do. Albert 
Yellow (or Lemon) very thin for flowers, and Copenhagen 
Grey for the shading of the White petals and feathers. For 
the touches of red, blue and Green, use Dresden Dark Blue, 
Moss Green and Blood Red. Outline with a good black, light 
and heavy as seen in the study. Do not model, but treat in 
a flat manner.
