KERAMIC STUDIO 
ZINNIAS 
Mary Overbeck. 
HpHE study of Zinnias, in grey tones, can be carried out 
* in a color scheme of dull red (orange red or pompadour 
with a touch of black) and black, for the flowers with a 
touch of orange yellow in centers. The leaves and stems 
should be a dark grey green (green 7) and black. The 
background should be a medium dark violet grey or a grey 
green. 
The bowl might be a warm brown, (Meissen with a touch 
of red) on a green grey ground. The color study may be 
carried out in any other color scheme as the shades of 
Zinnias are varied. A dark pearl grey for the flowers 
with grey green leaves makes an interesting study with 
various backgrounds. 
SMALL FRUIT DESIGNS 
I. M. Ferris. 
A LL but the Blackberry design may be treated in the 
**■ yellows and browns with a little olive green mixed in 
darker places in background. For fruit, use Poppy Red 
with some Yellow Brown in lightest parts and Dresden 
Brown Red in darker ones. The Dresden Coral Red when 
dusted and fired gives a pretty tone for background. 
It is deeper and brighter than Yellow Brown and goes 
well with yellows and browns. 
For leaves use Verdigris, Brown Green and Shading 
Green. The blackberries may be done with Sevres Blue 
Black and Deep Violet, some more red than others. 
Make background Grey, Blue, Green and Purple 
Black. Blossoms, Grey and shadowy.
