PEACH BLOSSOMS 
Mary Alfa Morris 
USE Deep Carmine No. 3 for the very pink blossoms, or 
those not yet full blown, shade in dark part with Ruby. 
In light flowers add a little flux to Carmine or use No. 1 or 2. 
Apple Green mixed with Carmine No. 3 will give good grey 
tone in shadows of light flowers. 
The buds are darker than the flowers, and for the calyx 
use Brown Green in light part, shading into Violet of Iron, 
then Finishing Brown for the strongest touches and for stems. 
The light green leaves should be very fresh and tender 
looking. Yellow Green, adding Lemon Yellow in lighter 
tones ; Brown Green for shadows, using Shading Green in 
some of the larger darker leaves. 
For the background use Lemon Yellow at top, shading 
into Deep Blue Green as it approaches the flowers; blending 
into Moss, Brown and Shading Green on the left side and 
about the stems, on the right the Lemon Yellow and Blue 
merges into Violet, or use Ruby with Blue, taking out the 
shadowy flowers in the wet tint with the same color. Avoid 
separate patches of color, but blend the whole harmoniously, 
dusting Brown Green over Ruby in background if too bright. 
In retouching use same colors for main part, and in last 
painting use a little blue in some of the flowers to vary the 
pink and white tone. Glaze some of the leaves with Moss 
Green if too light. 
It is always best to keep the greens light in the first 
painting, and in fact all the high lights of the design, using too 
little color rather than too much. 
Remember delicacy of tone in these fragile blossoms is 
preferable to heavily painted effects. 
TREATMENT FOR RASPBERRIES— JEANNE M. STEWART 
THE same colors are used in black raspberries as in black- 
berries, Banding blue, Ruby purple and Brunswick black 
with Yellow green, Lemon yellow and Ruby purple in the ber- 
ries not ripe. 
For first fire, wash in berries simply, paying special 
attention to light and shade, wiping out high lights very 
carefully. The ordinary green should be used in the leaves 
with exception of the most prominent leaf, in which the 
yellow and reddish brown tones should predominate. 
The background, applied in second fire may shade from 
an ivory yellow to a light grey made of yellow Green, Rose 
and Banding blue, with a dark green made of Shading green 
and Brown green in the darkest tones. 
Use a little Pompadour with grey in the shadows in 
third fire. Strengthen background and add detail in third 
fire also.
