KERAMIC STUDIO 
NASTURTIUMS— Sara Wood Safford 
Treatment by Miss M. M. Mason 
THE Yellow Nasturtiums are painted with Lemon or Albert 
Yellow, shaded with Neutral Yellow and Brown Green. 
The darker markings are put in with a mixture of Blood Red 
and a little Ruby. The flowers of deeper color may be 
painted with Albert Yellow, using Yellow Brown and Brown 
Green in shading thin, with touches of carnation on the edges ; 
or, again, a very good effect is obtained by painting them with 
Carnation and flushing with Albert Yellow and Yellow Brown 
in the second fire. For the deep crimson variety, a mixture 
of Ruby and Blood Red can be used effectively. 
For the leaves use Russian and Yellow Green in the 
lighter ones, and Brown Green, Dark Green, Hair Brown and 
Ruby in the darker ones. 
The background should repeat the colors of the flowers, 
so one should use for the lighter parts surrounding the flowers 
Yellow Brown, blending into Brown Pink, Hair Brown and 
Brown Green, etc. When dry after the first painting, dust 
with the same colors used in painting, allowing the reds, 
Brown Pink and Carnation to blend over parts of the flowers 
and leaves to give the whole a soft warm tone. 
The same palette is used in retouching, using possibly 
more of the browns and dark greens.
