H. P. B. — We should think that Miss Osgood's " Jacque red rose" 
would harmonize with the sample of pink which you sent. We think you 
would find Mr. Arthur Dow's "Composition" of great benefit to you, it is 
not a repetition of articles in KERAM1C STUDIO. We are not acquainted 
with any of the books you mention, preferring to learn drawing from nature 
to any book instruction, however we believe that any of them would give 
you valuable information, but be sure to prove each theory by practical ex- 
perience. 
Mrs. T. J. M.-We will try to get a good treatment of yellow daffodils 
as soon as possible. You can get the Hop study by Marshal Fry with 
treatment by sending 35 cents to the KERAMIC STUDIO Publishing Co. 
The treatment is about as foilows : Colors, Moss, Royal, Brown, Russian 
and Shading Green, Copenhagen Blue, Violet 2, Yellow Brown, Albert Yel- 
low and Pompadour of the Fry colors. If Belleek ware is used, substitute a 
mixture of Apple Green and Albeit Yellow for Moss Green. Use same colors 
in second and third fire, making warmer in last fire. Paint into wet back- 
ground. Wipe out lights with moist brush. Dust a little dry color into 
background. 
A. H. P. — We cannot account for your Royal Worcester tint rubbing off 
if it was fired enough. The best advice we can give is to go entirely over it 
with fresh tint, fire hard and rub down with fine old sand paper. You will 
then probably have to regild your paste. The crack in your muffle would not 
have that effect, but we would advise you to fill it with fire clay before firing 
again, as the gas or smoke might affect your colors. 
Mrs. J. H. T. — " Powdering with Copenhagen Grey " or any other 
color is done after the painting is finished and before it is thoroughly dry. 
Dust some of the powder color on to the half wet paint with a soft brush or 
pad of wool. You can in this way make quite a deep tone if you wish and 
soften and blend all colors together.

TOBACCO JAR— OAK LEAVES— MARY BURNETT 
THE general effect should be in rich browns and yellow low. Wash in background while design is moist, using Fin- 
brown tones. For lightest leaves use Finishing Brown, ishing Brown very dark at top broken into with touches of 
Deep Ochre, Red Brown and a little Moss Green in lightest Red Brown, shading down into Yellow Brown, using a little 
parts. Dark leaves, same colors but darker tones, leaving out Copenhagen under Acorns. 
Moss Green. For dark accents under leaves use touches of Black. It 
Acorns, Finishing Brown, Chestnut Brown, Albert Yel- will require three firings to get dark effect.
