FLOWERS,
vanish away by small strokes in the bottom of the leaves. The outside of the leaves is entirely
yellow. The ground of the purple crocus is carmine mixed with a little ultramarine, and pale
white. Some flowers of this sort, have very dark purple stripes like those of the yellow flowers;
while others have only small veins. The seed of both sorts being yellow, is done with orpiment
and gall-stone. The styles are laid with white, and shaded with black, mixed with a Jittie green.
The greens of the crocus are laid with very pale verditer, and shaded with sap-green.
The Piony is laid with Venice lake and white, pretty strong on all parts; then shaded with a
smaller mixture of white; and in the darkest places with lake alone. The whole is finished by
strokes of the same colour, traced as in the rose. The deepest shades ought to be well worked
with gum, and the lights and edges of the brightest leaves, heightened with white and a little
lake. Small veins are also represented on the leaves ; and the green parts are done with sea-
green, and shaded with sap-green.
The Ranunculus or, Crow-foot.—Of these there are many varieties ; the finest are those of
an orange colour. These are laid with vermilion, and a small proportion of gamboge, shaded
with the same mixed with carmine, and finished with this last colour and a little gall-stone. In
the other varieties Venice lake, instead of carmine, maybe used, particularly in the heart of
the flower. The green of the stalks is done with verditer and very pale masticot, mixed with
some lily-green in the shades : that of the leaves is darker.
The Jasmine is laid in white, and shaded with black and white : for the outside of the leaves,
a little bistre is mixed making a part of this side a little reddish with carmine.
The Tuberose is laid with white, and shaded with black and a little bistre in some places. The
outside of the leaves are tinged red with a little carmine, particularly at the extremities. The
seed is done with masticot, shaded with sap-green. The green is laid in verditer, shaded with
the same s^een.
The Snow-drop is laid with white, and shaded with black and white : the seed with masticot,
finished with gall-stone; and the green is done with sap and sea-green.
The Jonquil.—The ground is masticot and gall-stone, finished with gamboge and gall-stone.
The green is formed with sea-green, shaded with sap-green.
The Marigold is clone with a lay of masticot and another of gamboge, shaded with the same
colour, mixed with a little vermilion, and finished with an addition of gall-stone and a Jittie
carmine. The green parts are done with verditer, shaded with sap-green.
The Szceet TVilliam.—This flower is laid with lake and white, shaded with pure lake, with a
little carmine. The same colours are afterwards applied to all parts, in small round dots, at a
little distance asunder. The threads in the centre of the flower are raised with white. The greens
are done with sea and sap-green.
Violets and Pansies are painted in the same way, excepting that in the pansies the two middle
leaves are bluer than the others, on the border or edge; for the inside of the leaf is yellow ;
where small black veins are represented, springing from the heart of the flower, and vanishing in
the middle.
The Imperial Crown.—These flowers are of two sorts, the yellow and the red. The first is
done by a Jay of orpiment, shaded with gall-stone, orpiment, and a little vermilion. The second
sort is laid with orpiment and vermilion, shaded with gall-stone and vermilion : the beginning
-of the leaves is done with lake and bistre, made very dark; and veins of the same mixture are
carried
