KERAMIC STUDIO 
FRUIT PLATE, BLACK RASPBERRIES— JEANNE M. STEWART 
A FTER applying the black outlines in bands and conven- 
■**- tional motifs paint in the design of raspberries in the 
following colors: Banding Blue, Stewart's Blackberry, Ruby 
Purple, Yellow Green and Lemon Yellow. Ordinary greens 
may be used in the leaves with occasional touches of browns 
and yellows. 
After first fire apply background around berries using 
Ivory Yellow, Lemon Yellow and Stewart's Grey. The 
narrow bands are gold. The broad band Blackberry and the 
darkest spots in conventional motif Blackberry dusted on. 
Center of plate a very light tone of Ivory Yellow. 
In third fire apply gold second time. Touch up outlines 
and any part of the naturalistic design that may need more 
strength. 
The question is often asked how to obtain a matt finish 
to the painting and a subscriber sends the following method. 
"Remove the glaze with a 'China Eraser' first, being careful 
to just remove the glaze and not eat into the china as for 
etching. I have seen this done in bands and the effect is very 
beautiful indeed. In this way the painting has no glaze what- 
ever and is very soft." — E. L. W.
