RERAMIC STUDIO 
JACQUEMINOT ROSES (Supplement) 
F. B. Aulich 
\ FTER drawing in the design, which is suitable to al- 
■**• most any shape of vases, tiles, etc., paint in the roses 
first with Aulich's Pompadour and Superior Black, using 
the Pompadour for first wash and finish with Black. 
This should be done carefully and modeled nicely, taking 
out the high lights with the paint brush. The softer you 
can do this first painting, the better the result. Then let 
it stand until almost dry. To ascertain this, put the end 
of your finger softly on the paint and if sticky prepare 
some powder Crimson Purple on a tile and with some soft 
cotton batting apply this paint all over the roses. Where 
you left your paint light the color will adhere only slightly, 
while on the thicker parts it will be quite heavy. You 
will be astonished at the result. Of course it needs prac- 
tice to do this properly. After this you can wash in the 
background, beginning with Dark Blue, Blue Violet and 
Black Green and Albert's Yellow and Yellow Brown for 
the foreground, finishing off with Van Dyke Brown; 
modeling leaves etc., with the larger brush and finishing 
off with a pointed one. 
For the second fire give the whole a general wash in 
the same tones, adding a little Rose to the greens and 
blues. Put a wash of American Beauty over the entire 
Roses, Turquoise Blue for lighter and more distant parts, 
and shade with Crimson Purple. Do not apply the color 
too thick as it would blister or oxidize. 
The study can be used as a picture, but a dark mat 
should be used to bring out the colors. 
TREATMENT IN WATER COLOR 
Wash in the background first with Cobalt Blue 
Rose Madder, Payne's Grey, Indian Yellow, Ochre 
and Van Dyke Brown for the foreground. 
For the roses use Carmine, Burnt Carmine and Cobalt 
Blue and Neutral Tint mixed in for the dark parts ; a slight 
wash of Safnower Red on the reflected lights will add 
brilliancy to the Rose, but use this color very sparingly.
