Yellow flowers are painted with cadmium combined with white and ivory black

Yellow flowers are painted with cadmium combined with white and ivory black. In shading use cadmium, yellow ochre, raw umber, light red and ivory black.

In very deep yellow flowers use orange cadmium and in those of medium tone a medium cadmium combined with yellow ochre both in lights and shadows.

Burnt sienna and madder lake are used in shading very deep yellow flowers in addition to the other colors given.

For purple flowers use madder lake, permanent blue, or cobalt, with white and ivory black, adding yellow ochre for a warmer tone. In shading use the same colors, with the addition of raw umber and burnt sienna if necessary.

The high lights are painted with madder lake, cobalt, white and a very little ivory black.
