color, chrome yellow, and go all over the centers of each 
flower, this will keep the bell shape of the flower distinct from 
the pale outside petals and keep the character of the flower. 
For the greens, Indian yellow, Prussian blue and Payne's 
grey, being careful to secure the blueish tone of the leaves 
even in the first wash, as this facilitates and simplifies the last 
color to a marked degree. For the high lights of the greens 
use Hooker's green, white and a little new blue, and for the 
very lightest lines, as in the edge of a leaf or the top of a 
stem, as it turns to the light, use Emerald green and white, 
when this is dry wash the leaves over with a thin wash of 
Hooker's green No. I and brown pink mixed well. 
The back ground is done entirely in transparent color, 
new blue at the top and back of the yellow flowers if possible, 
as it brings out the yellow in all its brightness, now green into 
this and then Indian yellow and brown pink and darker still 
into a purplish tone of carmine and new blue. If a darker shade is 
desired use Payne's grey and carmine, and Payne's grey clear, be 
careful to avoid, if possible, an exact copy as that invariably 
hampers one and prevents the freedom for which one is 
striving. 
A semi-dry brush with some white paint dragged across 
the stems, gives a good atmospheric effect and takes away any 
awkwardness of line. If one reads over this treatment, lays 
it aside and proceeds with the works using one's own judgment 
as to how to mix the color, the result will be very satisfac- 
tory. I should be very glad to correct any studies that are 
sent me for trial purposes. 
CUP AND SAUCER— PERSIAN DESIGN— ALICE B. SHARRARD 
FOR the flowers use pink enamel, flat wash, outlined with a 
deeper pink. Leaf forms, green enamel, made by mixing 
Apple green and white enamel, just enough green to make a 
pretty delicate shade; outline with Apple green, to which is 
added a bit of brown green. The background within the de- 
sign is of Night green, using it strong enough to make a rich 
blue. Fill the space above and below the border with gold. 
The small blossoms in pink or blue enamel. 
Band the edge with the dark blue and make the handle 
of gold.
