Painting Mountain Ash

Mountain Ash—(Water Color Painting)

In water color painting you may use the VERMILION mixed with a trifle of BURNT SIENNA for the general tint of this fruit. For the dark shadows you may add more BURNT SIENNA and leave the high lights plain WHITE.

Mountain Ash—(Oil Painting)

In oil painting you may use also the VERMILION for the general shade of the fruit, perhaps mixed with a small quantity of CARMINE LAKE. For the shadows you may mix with this color VAN DYKE BROWN and for the high lights you may use plain WHITE.

Mountain Ash—(China Painting)

In china painting you may use either CARNATION RED or YELLOW RED No. 2 for the painting of mountain ash. In the dark shadows you may add a trifle of DEEP RED BROWN or VIOLET of IRON. If that color is a trifle too light for your decoration you may use the LIGHT POMPADOUR for the general color and DEEP RED BROWN for the shadows.

This fruit has a small high light, which you should keep plain white. Be careful in keeping the round shape of the fruit, as if you make some oval and some round, they will not appear natural.
