proportion, and be made to graduate into the shade, so as not to interfere,
but to harmonise with the principle. As green by no means harmonises with
orange alone, and still less with red, you must necessarily introduce yellow,
which will give you an opportunity of introducing green agreeably; and by
mixing the orange and blue you get an olive, that will suit with both the
orange and red : you must likewise have some purple to balance the yellow.
The reflected tints as before directed.
COMPOSITION OF GREEN.
Nothing pleasing could be made of this as a composition, without
taking it in its palest degree, as it graduates from yellow; but by making a
principle of it in that state, there is room to do a great deal, as it has not only
nearly the same degree of lightness as yellow, but may be worked into a very
rich effect. Its contrasting or balancing tint is pale red, inclining to purple,
in proportion as the green inclines to yellow; but this tint must be so subdued
by black, as not to be either too bright or too strong for the green in its
palest state.
The harmonising tints being deeper greens, they will also require deeper
reds to contrast them, which are to be subdued with black likewise in the
deepest shade. -
The reflected tints are formed, as before mentioned, with the principle
warm tints, and the contrasting one.
