NASTURTIUM DESIGN FOR PLATE— ANNA B. LEONARD 
IF DESIRED, the design may be painted in a naturalistic man- 
ner, but if treated in flat tones, there will be a certain 
effective style which will be infinitely more pleasing as a 
decoration. 
The flowers may be laid in flat tones of Yellow Brown 
lustre with the leaves and stems in Light Green lustre, which 
fires a grey green. The design maybe outlined either in black 
or gold. The narrow band on the edge of rim and the narrow 
bands running towards the center of the plate and around the 
inside rim may be in gold, with the wide space between in the 
Yellow Brown lustre. If a background is desired, a pale tone 
of Yellow lustre will be effective. 
Then again the whole design can be outlined in black, 
with the flowers in flat tones of Capucine Red, with a little 
touch of black to tone, using Pompadour Red with this in the 
deep lines towards the center. The stems in a pale grey green 
(apple green and mixing yellow), with a touch of black. The 
leaves must be a little darker by adding Brown Green and 
Chrome Green, 3b. 
The design is very good in all blue, using Dark Blue, a 
touch of Ruby Purple and a little black. 
The same may also be carried out in flat gold with out- 
lines and veins in dark red. 
This design will be useful in classes as it is extremely sim- 
ple and the treatment may be varied, so that no two plates 
need be alike, which is a great advantage when one is called 
upon to furnish different ideas, it being monotonous to have 
all pupils working on the same thing.
