COLOURS.

however, used it for those parts of a picture, with the
addition of a small portion of Crimson Lake, to neutralize
its green tint. Prussian Blue mixed with Light Red
gives a sea-green neutral.
Antwerp Blue.—A deep transparent blue, which has
naturally a green tinge, rendering it well adapted for
mixed greens.
Indigo.—This colour is generally useful in landscape.
It is not a bright blue, although very clear in all its tints.
With Indian Red it affords very clean purpley shadows ;
and with either Gamboge, Raw Sienna, Roman Ochre,
or Yellow Ochre, it gives clear, sober green. It stands
well.
Gamboge.—A very lively and transparent yellow gum,
highly useful in every kind of subject. In landscape,
it affords, with Indigo or Antwerp Blue, clear bright
greens; and with Sepia a very useful sober tint : in its
very deep touches it shines too much, and verges on the
brown.
Yellow Ochre.—This sober and useful yellow is gene-
rally employed in the distance and middle ground of a
landscape ; it possesses a slight degree of turbidness, and
is esteemed for this property, which is considered to
give it a retiring quality. It affords a fine range of
quiet greens in its admixture with Antwerp Blue or
Indigo; also a very serviceable yellowish drab with
Vandyke Brown. It is very permanent and washes
well.
Roman Ochre.—Is more transparent and rather cooler
in its tint than the above, forming, with Antwerp Blue or
Indigo, an excellent range of greens, which are much used
by many painters.
