CENTER OF SALAD BOWL 
SALAD BOWL, MINER'S LETTUCE 
THE little wild flower Claytonia perfoliata, commonly 
called Miner's Lettuce, is found in early spring growing 
in shady places in California. Children are found of eating 
its crisp and succulent leaves. 
For the first painting of the salad bowl lay in the gen- 
eral ground tint both inside and outside of the bowl with a 
light wash of Yellow Brown, Gray Yellow and Moss Green 
mixed and then fire. 
For the next painting carefully trace on the design, then 
tint the lower panels the same as the ground tint only darker. 
The leaves are Moss Green, Gray Yellow, Yellow Brown and 
a touch of Violet of Iron. The stems are the same only a 
little more Violet of Iron added. ^ 
The black portions are Black, Shading Green and Brown 
Green mixed. Use this color also for the outlines. For the 
flowers use Pompadour very light. The center of the little 
units between the leaves and on the lower leaves are Ruby. 
For the third fire strengthen all the colors and outlines. 
The center and inside border of the salad bowl is to be 
carried out in the same colors.
