TREATMENT OF BERRY PLATE IN CURRANTS 
Jeanne M. Stewart 
N this design it is quite important to keep the colors clear 
and bright. Lemon Yellow, Yellow Red and Pompadour 
23 are used in the more prominent currants, with a darker 
Pompadour and a little Ruby Purple in those in shadow. 
Light and shade should be very pronounced, with high 
lights wiped out while color is still wet. 
Indicate reflected lights very strongly in first fire, which 
gives transparency. 
The prominent leaf should be kept in bluish green tones, 
using Turquoise and Yellow Green combined in a very thin 
wash for first tones, and shading with Gray for flowers. Use 
yellow and reddish brown tones in leaf to the right. 
Apply background in the second fire, shading from Ivory 
Yellow to gray and greens. A very dark green may be made 
from Shading Green and Brown Green. In third fire brighten 
the reds with Yellow Red and Pompadour 23, add shadows in 
warm grays, keeping them very soft against the background. 
Darken background in this fire and powder in darkest tones, 
before quite dry, with a powder of Shading and Brown Greens, 
equal parts.
