Instructions.—The Alstreemeria is shaded with neutral teint ; a light tinge of Antwerp blue 
and another of gamboge over the dark parts of it, a little carmine blended with the former but so 
light as to be scarcely perceptible; for the light green on the petals, stems, and buds, Antwerp blue 
and gamboge may be mixed; constant white, finished with burnt umber for the anthera. The leaves 
shaded with neutral teint; the leaf at the back of the Alstroeemeria must be nearly finished with the 
same teint. The Petunia is shaded, first with lake and prussian blue, mixed ; then a wash of carmine, 
and another of cobalt, thinly diluted; worked up with carmine; neutral teint blended with the 
carmine for the finishing touches.
