E. Louise Jenkins. 
PLAINT the background first, using for the lighter parts a 
* soft grey lavender tone made of Yellow Green with Violet 
No. i, and a bit of Rosa in the brush now and then. For 
the darker portions use Dark Green and Brown Green, 
and a little Yellow Brown to liven it up some, under the 
roses. Paint next the background leaves, then the lighter 
toned ones, using Yellow Green, and keep them flat and 
simple. The roses next with Bischoff's Rose, dragging the 
background color into the darker ones, to give them their 
proper greys. Retouch with the same colors for the second 
painting, and bring up the detail, as much as is desired. 
For the third painting put a flat wash of Violet No. 2 
over the background and most of the leaves. Retouch 
the roses with a wash of Rosa in the darker parts, and a 
very little of Aulich's American Beauty, for a crisp little 
touch of strength near the centers.

indistinct foliage. Paint prominent leaves in Apple Green 
and Yellow, Olive Green shading with BroAvn, and Dark
