During the past year the club has had instructive lect- 
ures and demonstrations at its monthly meetings that have 
been intensely interesting. Only about twenty members of 
the club are china painters, many of the others are water color 
painters of talent and those interested in art generally. Miss 
Maud Stumm of New York was one who interested all, giving 
methods of painting from the model. Mr. Ernst Knaufft, 
editor of "Art Student," gave lessons in design, illustrated 
by crayon sketches. Mr, G. A. Thompson of Yale University 
talked on " Color Applied to Portrait and Landscape;" Miss 
M. A. Pomeroy of New York " Landscape Painting after the 
Dutch School." 
Mr. Marshal Fry had an attentive audience as he 
told about use of colors, and treatment of designs, and gave a 
demonstration by painting a vase before the club at the Oc- 
tober meeting. Mrs. Phillips, Mrs. Safford and Miss E. Mason 
also gave club lessons. 
TREATMENT OF COWSLIP VASE 
Henrietta Barclay Paist 
MODEL the flowers with White Rose or Olive Green for the 
first fire, sparing the lights, glazing with Albert's Yellow 
and strengthening with Orange for the second fire. The 
stems and underside of leaves are a delicate Green shaded 
with a purplish pink (Violet of Iron). The stems sinking at 
the base; the upper side of leaves a dark rich Green. Shade 
the Vase from a light Green at the base to Dark Green at the 
top, using White Rose or Olive Brown Green and Dark Green. 
A touch of Yellow Brown in the background is pleasing.
