A

FEW PRACTICAL INSTRUCTIONS

FOR YOUNG PAINTERS.

An outfit of water-color, paints and brushes is, of course, the first requisite. Good boxes

made of porcelain-lined tin, the cover serving as a tablet on which to mix the colors, may

now be obtained at a low price from almost any stationer or dealer in artists’ supplies.

A box might contain the following colors :

IYORY BLACK,

SEPIA,

BURNT SIENNA,

VANDYKE BROWN,

ULTRAMARINE,

PRUSSIAN BLUE,

CRIMSON LAKE,

VERMILION,

LIGHT RED,

GAMBOGE,

YELLOW OCHRE,

EMERALD GREEN,

There are three colors—Red, Blue, and Yellow—which are called primary, or simple,

colors, because they cannot be made by any mixture of other colors. These three are

indispensable for any complete scheme of coloring. Other colors, called compound, may

be made by mixing, as follows :

GREEN, -

PURPLE,

ORANGE,

GRAY, -

by mixing .... BLUE and YELLOW.

“ .... BLUE “ RED.

“ .... RED “ YELLOW.

“ PRUSSIAN BLUE, LAKE “ SEPIA.

Mix the colors with clean, clear water, changing the supply as soon as it gets muddy.

Keep the color of your paints pure by not allowing them to come into contact with one

another, and by cleansing your brush thoroughly of one color before applying it to another.

Clean your brushes thoroughly after using, as they do not last long when laid aside

without being washed. Never leave them standing in the water.

A rather large brush should be used for the greater part of the painting, the smaller

brushes being reserved for the finer finishing touches.

Take plenty of color on your brush, and try it first on a piece of paper to see lhat it

is the right shade, and that the brush is not too wet nor too dry.

Begin at the top and color downward, always using plenty of water in your brush so that

the color may not settle in patches, and appear to have been dragged over the paper. A

hard line, or the edge of a color, may be softened with a clean wet brush.

Let one color dry before beginning on another, and never touch a tint when it is once laid

on until it is quite dry.

A cold color which is to serve as a shadow to a warmer one should be laid on first, and

then the warmer color put over it. Blue is the coldest color. Lake is a colder Red than

Vermilion or Light Red, and Gamboge a colder Yellow than Ochre. Orange is the warmest

color, and Red and Yellow are warm in proportion as they approach the Orange tint.
