FRUIT BOWL IN PLUMS 
PAINT plums in Banding Blue and Ruby Purple with a 
little Brunswick Black in the darkest shadows, and on 
some of the lighter plums, Yellow Green and Lemon Yellow 
with Ruby Purple in darker tones. Turquoise, Yellow, Brown, 
Olive and Shading Greens may be used in the leaves, keeping 
more to the blue green tones. Add shadows in Grey Greens. 
In the second fire, lay on background shading from blue 
green and greys to brown green, blending into browns at the 
base. In this, Turquoise Green, Ivory Yellow, Ruby Purple, 
Yellow Green, Yellow Brown and Chestnut Brown may be 
used. 
In the third fire, strengthen the whole design, observing 
strong light and shade ; add shadows and darken the back- 
ground. Let stand till almost dry, then dust with powder 
colors in same mixtures as used in painting, throwing under 
the color some of the lower leaves and plums.
