PIGMENT-MATERIALS

127. Of pigments I use these: Blue Black, Madder Lake (Deep), Rose

Madder, Indian Red, Venetian Red, Vermilion, Burnt Sienna, Cadmium

Orange, Yellow Ochre, Pale Cadmium, Aureolin, Cremnitz White,

“Emeraude” Green (Green Oxide of Chromium, transparent), Cobalt Blue,

French Ultramarine Blue. These are the pigments which I suggest for

oil-painting. In water-color painting I should substitute Charcoal

Gray for Blue Black. “Emeraude Green” is often called Viridian in the

form in which it is used in water-color. For Cremnitz White I should

substitute, in water-color painting, Chinese White. These are the

pigment-materials which I use myself and recommend to others. There

are, of course, many other pigments which may be used, but these will,

I think, be found sufficient for all purposes. Provided with these

pigments, with a palette upon which to put them, with brushes and other

materials necessary for painting, we are prepared to take up the study

of tones and tone-relations.
