DESIGN FOR PLATE-FREDERICK H. RHEAD 
UNDERGLAZE COLORS. — In drawing the design on the 
plate, it is only necessary to outline the shapes of the 
trees and the hexagon shape that is formed by the flowers. 
In painting the plate, a number 5 camel hair brush will pro- 
duce the most satisfactory results. The color is to be well 
ground, to enable it to flow freely from the brush, as the de- 
sign is intended to be drawn directly with the point of the 
brush and not to be "painted" or scratched on. The leaves 
of the trees in a cold green, 5 parts French Green and i part 
Crimson, trunks of trees and stems of flowers Chocolate Brown, 
grass Olive Green, flowers Orange, lines at edges of plate Olive 
Green. A charming effect will be obtained when painting 
the leaves of the trees, if each mass of color is drawn towards 
the center in the direction of the trunk so the heaviest part 
of the work will show up the mass of color in front. This 
irregularity of color will prevent monotony.
