PRIMROSE STUDY 
F)AINT flowers in shades of Rose with Ruby for the 
* strong darks. For shadows, Apple Green or Dark 
Green with Rose for the various tones. Bear in mind that 
the flowers newly opened are almost white and that they 
grow a deep pink before they wither. Keep white around 
centers and make center of Yellow Green, a little Yellow 
toward the white and a touch of Dark Green for the deep- 
est parts. Green parts including leaves, Apple Green, Yellow 
Green and a little Yellow Ochre for lights. For darks, New 
Green, Olive Green and Dark Green with a little Rose in 
stems, growing deeper farther down. Carry on back- 
ground with other parts. Use Pearl Gray, Gray Green 
and a little Imperial Ivory at top and shade downward 
into Dark Green and a little Ruby, the latter dusted on 
after the paint is almost dry. Use same colors for second 
firing.

HPREATMLNT in enamels is very suitable for this 
" design. If Fry's enamel is used, mix first with a 
very little of Fry's Medium, thin with the Enamel Medium 
until thin enough to flow freely, if necessary add turpentine 
as it dries out. If Aufsetzweis is used, no oil is needed ex- 
cept turpentine or lavender oil to thin. To the latter add 
one-eighth flux to prevent chipping which sometimes occurs 
on hard ware. 
For black parts of design use Dark Blue enamel — 
Dark Blue (Dresden), Ruby Purple and Black added to 
the enamel. It will require perhaps two parts mixed color 
to one of enamel to make it dark enough. Leaves and 
other dark gray parts, warm mellow green, Grass Green, 
Brown Green and Yellow for Mixing added to the enamel. 
Background is tinted with Dark Green. Fire only once 
for enamels.
