The putting sufficient water in one of the depressions of the lid to makejust enough wash to cover the three panels 5. The working of the brush back and forth from this pool to the yellow cake, till a strong yellow wash is made 6. The addition, by the same method, of sufficient red to the yellow pool to make it a strong orange in colour. An extra sheet of paper should bekept for testing the colour. 134. THE FLAT WASH 135 7. The painting of the middle panel with this orange wash. (The paper should be held at the top corner with the left hand and slightly tiltedso that the wash will tend to run down. The brush should be filledwith the orange wash, and the colour applied across the top of therectangle and dragged lightl}^ down till the l)ottom is reached.) 8. The transferring of half of the orange wash that is left to another depres- sion in the lid of the l)ox, where sufficient yellow is added to it toproduce a yellow-orange, which is then a]iplied to the rectangle to theleft of the one covered with orange 9. The adding of sufficient red to the first orange pool to form red-orange. which is applied to the third rectangle. The middle panel is now orange, to the left of it is yellow-orange, and to theright, red-orange.
