REKAMIC STUDIO 
SOME OF THE WORK IN DESIGN DONE BY THE 
DUQUESNE CLUB WITH MISS MASON 
A LTHOUGH the time we had to give to this work was very 
-^^ hmited, consisting of six lessons only, I feel that the 
results of so short a period of study were unusually satisfactory. 
All of the examples illustrated show a nice appreciation of 
spacing, relation of masses, etc., in light and dark arrange- 
ments which are capable of development in various ways. 
The five plate designs shown by Mr. Rott, are beautifully 
worked out and exhibit much good feeling for pattern and 
fine distribution of values. 
FULL SIZE CENTER OF PLATE (Page 69)— ELLA FABER 
We think of the Duquesne Club as being one of the most 
progi-essive clubs in the country. They are constantly work- 
ing and striving toward a fine ideal and spare no effort in this 
endeavor. They have made a stand for original work in their 
exhibitions, have a jury of selection and therefore hold to a 
standard of excellence in the work shown. They are particu- 
larly fortunate in having for their president Miss Boyd, whose 
enthusiasm and training in art eminently fits her to direct a 
movement of this kind, and she has done much towards bring- 
ing about this happy result.

PLATE BORDER— RAY E. MOTZ 
T?OR the darks use blue enamel made of Banding 
-■- Blue, three parts, one part Blue Green and 
one part Azure Glaze. This is to be floated on as 
enamel, even in the case of the lines around the 
panel and fiower. 
For the flower use Turquoise Blue and Turquoise 
Glaze and ground-lay the panels with Grey Green. 
Retouch the flower with Turquoise Blue and Dark 
Blue with Banding Blue and Blue Green. 
LARGE PITCHER— RAY E. MOTZ 
FOR the leaves, stems, etc., use Brown Green, 
and for the grapes and the lines that panel 
the body of the pitcher use Violet to which one- 
eighth Banding Blue has been added. 
For the second fire tone the entire piece with 
Brown Green to which a little Albert Yellow has 
been added and dust with Pearl Grey. 
For the third fire use the same colors in retouching 
that were used in the first painting. 
A fourth firing with a tone for Brown Green 
dusted with Pearl Grey gives a much richer effect.
