than the markings of the veins, as that will be best executed asterwards
in colour.
The first that is applied is a clear tint os gamboge and blue. This is
taken over the whole os the calyx os the rose buds; taking care to
keep within the outline. AVith the same tint go over the light green
i
leaves that are in front, and likewise the stalks. The next tint will be
a thin wash of lake over the pink corollas. When the whole os them
are coloured, the student will observe the edges and points os some
of the saded leaves, touched with this colour, and likewise the stalks.
The lake is then used as a shading colour, when it is rubbed up a little
♦
stronger, and applied in the dark parts os the rose bud.
The student who is painting srom this copy, or srom nature, will
observe, that the moss on the stem and the calyx is in some places os
a ruddy pink hue : in both cases this essect cannot be given with a
ssat wash, but is sormed with small irregular hatches or strokes taken
beyond the outline. There will not require many touches os this sort
with the lake, but it will be best done at this time, as it will shew
through the green touches that are put over it. The smaller buds
will not require any red touches. A little burnt sienna should next be
applied in the same way ; it may be taken over the lake, but the lines
should be kept very thin and seathery. The saded leaves may be
washed with this colour, particularly those that have been touched
with the lake, or hang directly in front. The backs of the rose leaves
must be kept of a light cool green.
