RERAMIC STUDIO 
PANEL— GERANIUM 
THIS is just a little composition, purely naturalistic in 
growth, conventional in treatment and quite Japanesque 
in effect. In the original sketch which was twice this 
size the background was Grey Green, the leaves and stems 
three tones of Grey Green, the flower a flat wash of Pompa- 
dour Red and the branch in Yellow Brown, which had 
been grayed with Black. The outlines were in Black. 
These different panels illustrative of composition 
may be carried out on china, or in water color on Japanese 
paper, mounted on some harmonious background, and 
framed with a narrow molding of black.

PLATE-FLYING GEESE DESIGN 
TINT the plate all over with Neutral Yellow, outline 
design and fire. For the second painting, lay over the 
birds a flat wash of Yellow Brown, accenting with Fin- 
ishing Brown and Black. For the part of the background 
indicated by the darker tone, tint with Vandyke Brown. 
Outline and fire. If the colors are not strong repeat the 
directions for second painting and fire again. 
PLATE-EAGLE DESIGN 
HpHIS decoration was intended for a ten inch plate, 
having a two inch border, the inner band being carried 
into the centre of the plate. This may be done in mon- 
ochrome in two tones of Copenhagen Grey, outlined with 
Black, or in two tones of Brown. The unit repeats three 
times. 
PLATE— PEACOCK FEATHER MOTIF (page 209) 
A FTER tracing the design, tint the border of the plate 
•**■ exclusive of the design with Neutral Yellow. The central 
figure of the design as well as the small unit in the inner 
border are in Black. The light background behind the 
design is in Moss Green or Emerald Green. The dark 
spots around the central figure are in Night Green. The 
enclosing line and all outlines are Black, the panels of 
the inner band being Moss or Emerald Green. For the 
second painting strengthen the colors of the design and 
outline again. This is beautiful in Lustres, using only 
Black and Dark Green or Yellow Green, with a touch of 
Orange Yellow in the two little spots at base of unit. 
DESIGN FOR PLATE AND BORDER IN NASTURTIUMS 
TINT with Neutral Yellow, clean the flowers and 
leaves, lay in the flowers flat with Capucine Red except 
where the calyx shows through the petals, touch this in 
with Albert's Yellow. 
For the leaves, use Grey Green, laying flat and not 
too heavy. The inner band is laid on with Capucine and 
the stems of Grey Green, cut the band at intervals and 
form a finish to the lower edge. Dry well before firing 
and outline with Outlining Black or Dark Green. After 
firing, repeat the wash on the flowers and leaves, outline 
again and fire. Any nasturtium color may be substituted 
for the one suggested, as the background tint will har- 
monize with all. The soft tan color found in some is 
beautiful and may be obtained by painting with Vandyke 
Brown and then dry dusting with Neutral Yellow. Van- 
dyke Brown alone is a good nasturtium color. 
PLATE -NASTURTIUM DESIGN (page 20 J) 
THE stem and calyx of the flowers are in Grey Green, 
the tip of the bud and the inner band are in Capucine Red, 
finished on either side with Gold, the outlines Black. Neu- 
tral Yellow or Yellow Ochre is the best background for 
these designs.
