Insrructions.—Whilst the paper is damp, shade the Rose with a very light neutral teint, the 
bud, leaves, and stalks with a darker teint: the dark leaves of the Myosotis require a wash of the same 
teint over them before the green; gamboge and prussian blue for the ground colour, shade 
with Indian yellow and prussian blue, taking care to use first a blue, then a yellow teint ; (this should 
be done in painting all leaves ;) finish with neutral teint in the green for the darkest shades. Use 
carmine and Indian yellow for the thorns and leaflets. The Myosotis shade with carmine, and put a 
very light wash of the same all over them, then one of cobalt; work them up with cobalt and a little 
smalt for the dark touches; chrome yellow and gamboge for the centre of the corollas. The 
anthera of the Rose must be formed with constant white, and finished with gamboge, Indian yellow, 
and gall-stone.
