VASE— PEACOCK FEATHER DESIGN 
FIRST TREATMENT 
A FTKR design is drawn in India ink, put in back- 
^* ground with Violet No. 2 and dust with Pearl Grey. 
Paint dark eyes with Deep Blue and Black, shading to 
Violet at the lower part of the form; light grey forms at 
either side of dark, Grey Green. When fired tint whole 
with Pearl Grey and a very little Violet. Wipe out small 
upper light and paint with Orange Yellow toned with Black. 
A third painting may be necessary to obtain the desired 
depth of color. Design will be most effective if kept sub- 
dued in color. 
SECOND TREATMENT 
For a treatment in lustres and matt colors, first paint 
main parts of design in Olive Green Lustre, taking 
great care to have china and brushes perfectly clean. Use 
alcohol for cleaning. Paint dark parts Deep Blue and 
Black. Small light above, Orange Dustre. Larger lights 
asides, Olive Green (tube or powder color) . 
After firing, tint background with Matt Bronze Green 
and when sufficiently dry dust with same color. Clean 
out design perfectly with clean brush and alcohol and go 
over Olive Green Lustre again, also the Orange Lustre, 
carrying it over the olive green forms at either side of darks. 
Paint dark forms again same as before. 
A third painting with the same colors as for second 
will probably be necessary.
