WILD ASTER (Supplement) 
C. L. Wiard 
FIRST Fire--After carefully blocking in the flower spaces, 
paint in the stems and leaves, using Yellow Green and 
Blue Green for the lighter tones and shade with Olive Green 
and a little Black in the darker places. Then paint the 
flowers with a good size pointed shader, using Blue Violet for 
the general tone and Deep Violet for the darker ones. Wash 
out the high lights with a little Turquoise Blue in the brush. 
The centers are of Lemon Yellow shaded with Yellow Brown 
and Pompadour and Black. The shadows may be painted 
in with any grey. Warm Green or Yellow and Deep Violet 
is good. Second Fire — Lay in the background with Lemon 
Yellow and a little Yellow Green in places. Paint over the shadow 
forms and some of the flowers. Shade the flowers with Deep 
Violet and a little Black in the darkest parts. Strengthen the 
stems and touch up the centers. A little white enamel may be 
used effectively on the lighter flowers.
