Harmony of Colors. • Everyone must have observed that some colors, when brought together, mutually set each other off to advantage, while others have altogether a different effect. This must be carefully attended to by every painter who would study beauty or elegance In the appearance of his work. Reds set off best with whiles, blacks or yellows. Greens set off best with blacks and whites. Gold sets off best with blacks or browns. In lettering or edging with gold, a white ground has a delicate appearance for a time, but it soon becomes dingy. The best grounds for a gold are Basoo blue. vermiUlon and lake. 49 !^ r '^^-P'i'- -Jg^i^.J-^- : a'rl»l^H'i J,!l.a.!. : ^!;N J. E. WILSON, Ltd.
