THE HOLY FAMILY BY KNAUS 
THIS study can be used altogether or in part. The little 
"cherubs" are very nice used alone. For flesh treatment 
refer to the June number of the Keramic Studio. If the 
entire study is used, dust the background with Pearl Grey, to 
which about one-eighth Blue Green has been added. In sec- 
ond fire blend Finishing Brown over it, leaving it lighter 
where the clouds are lighter, and in the third fire go over all 
with Finishing Brown, dusted on thin. Work out the fore- 
ground in greens and browns, and for the last fire go over all 
with Finishing Brown. 
For the drapery of central figure, shade kerchief and all 
white draperies with Pearl Grey, adding a touch of Violet in 
the deepest shadows. In second fire, wash a little yellow over 
high lights to take off the hard white. For the waist, make 
the drapery yellow with violet shadows; for the skirt, paint 
in violet for first fire, deepen shadows with purple for second 
fire, and finish with finishing brown in last fire. Paint some- 
what lighter than picture. 
The figure of Joseph, and the donkey, should be painted 
in browns, the flesh being painted with the brunette or dark 
effect. The whole should be a harmony in browns, the flesh 
only being in relief.
