COLOURS.
Raw Sienna.—More transparent in its tint than any
of the Ochres. It has the objection of being rather
pasty in working, although by proper skill in its prepa-
ration it may be divested of some of this quality. It is
much employed in landscape, on account of its being
useful both in distance and in foreground ; it gives bright
sunny tints, and, with Antwerp Blue, very pure clear
greens.
Cadmium Yellow.—This splendid, glowing, yellow pig-
ment, prepared from the metal Cadmium, is a recent
addition to the palette. It is extremely brilliant and
nearly transparent, which qualities make it invaluable for
gorgeous sunsets. It also works and washes well, and is
permanent.
Indian Yellow.—A rich intense yellow, particularly
useful for draperies, and for compounding landscape
greens. It washes and works extremely wrell, and is
permanent in water colours.
Italian Pink.—A rich transparent yellow, affording
a variety of beautiful foliage-tints, by admixture with
Indigo and Sepia in various proportions. These three
colours with Burnt Sienna will produce almost every
variety of sunny foliage. It gives also fine olive greens
by admixture with Lamp Black.
Yellow Lake.—Similar in its qualities to Italian Pink,
but a little cooler in tint, and not quite so powerful.
Chrome Yellow. — Is of three tints; pale, deep and
orange. They are opaque colours of strong body, and
are occasionally used in thin washes.
Mars Yellow.—A fine, warm and brilliant artificial
ochre; quite permanent.
