Tue corolla and bud are first shaded with carmine; a light wash of the same colour is 
then put over, leaving the white towards the centre ; cobalt is then put on ina similar manner before 
the paper is quite dry; cobalt and carmine, stippled alternately, will produce the proper teint; for 
the darkest touches a mixture of the two colours is used. The leaves and stems are shaded with 
neutral teint; a wash of it is also put over the dark leaves; gamboge, prussian blue, and carmine 
for the green, shaded with Indian yellow and prussian blue, finished with neutral tet and green ; 
the veins must be taken out with warm water and a fine sable pencil; gum water may be put over 
the leaves to give them the bright appearance which is natural to them.
