THE flowers are purple, yellow and white. For the purple 
flowers use your favorite mixture or mix three-fourths 
Dark Blue (Dresden) with one-fourth Lacroix Ruby Purple. 
Model the upper petal delicately and strengthen and vein the 
three lower petals with the same mixture. The upper petals 
of the white flowers are modeled with Copenhagen Grey, and 
the lower ones varied with the purple mixture. The upper 
petals of yellow flower are modeled with White Rose and 
glazed with Albert Yellow in the second fire. The lower 
petals are worked with Yellow and veined strongly with 
Blood Red, adding a touch of Brown to darken. The tufts 
on the lower petals of all the flowers are a bright yellow, 
model around it with White Rose to make it more permanent. 
The greens are rather bluish except in the calyx and buds, 
which is more yellow. The best background is a soft dark 
green, running into a delicate grey (Copenhagen) at the top. 
Or if one likes it, can be blended gradually from green into a 
pale yellow (Albert's Yellow), at the top if the object is a vase.
