COLOURS.
Carmine.—A very brilliant, deep-toned crimson, pos-
sessing great power in its full touches, and much clear-
ness in its pale washes, although in this latter quality not
equalling Madder Lake. It flows and washes extremely
well, but is seldom used in landscape painting.
Crimson Lake.-—-Similar in its character to the pre-
ceding, but deficient in some of its richness and brilliancy.
This colour is generally useful in all departments of the
art.
Scarlet Lake.—More scarlet in its hue than the last,
but not so transparent.
Purple Lake.—A transparent, deep-toned Lake, useful
in shadows.
Madder Lake, or Rose Madder.—A very delicate car-
nation, much clearer in its pale tints than either Crimson
Lake or Carmine, but wanting in intensity. It is much
used m all classes of water-colour painting, on account of
its superior permanency.
Vermillion.—An opaque bright scarlet red, higher in
its tone than any of the others • but a want of transpa-
rency, and its not flowing well, preclude its being used
so generally as would be desirable: it stands well.
Scarlet Vermillion.—Has properties the same as the
above, with the exception of being a little more scarlet in
its tint, and washing better.
Orange Vermillion.—Rather more transparent than
the other two, with a clear but not bright orange tint; it
washes better than the other descriptions of Vermillion,
and is for landscape purposes more useful.
