Supposing the student intended painting the dalia on velvet, it would
be necessary, aster getting the outline, to take a little os the bright
crimson on a saucer, and let it dry on the stove; then taking one os
the smallest brushes, dip the end os it into a little os the liquid crimson,
and take some os the dry colour oss the saucer with it; by this means
body is obtained. Try the brush to see is it is not too wet on a waste
piece os velvet. Is it produces a sine clear line that does not spread,
apply it to the petals os the ssower nearest the centre, going round the
outline os the sold ; the colour in the brush will soon be exhausted, but
enough should be taken at once to put the whole os the shade of the
petal alike, as the colour on velvet cannot be sostened oss, or touched
again with the same brush till dry. Besore the colour is quite dry, the
plush of the velvet must be brushed up with a clean dry brush. This
will raise any part that was too wet, and consequently sunk besore ; and
it is this process os brushing up the plush os the velvet, which must
be applied aster every colour, that gives such sostness to the work.
When the whole os the petals are put in the sirst shade, the same
brush and colour may be used to put on the second tint, taking it over
the tint sirst put on, and bringing it more towards the centre of the
petal; the sirst tint will now shew much darker than the second; and,
as a strong light is lest in the centre of the petal, the whole is in light
shade and middle tint. This process must be repeated on all the
petals os the ssower, till the whole are completed, taking care to brush
up the velvet aster every tint. The centre is the yellow prepared
srom French berries, spotted with touches os sepia or Vandyke brown
