The ornamental part to be gold, shaded with asphaltum, and high light with a delicate pink, composed of flake white and light red. The wreaths may be painted blue and white. Mix up three lines of blue, placing the darkest at the bottom or lower part of each band shown, as shaded in the figure. The white bands should not be of pure white, but a light grey, made by mixing a little black with the white colour. For the high light running along the centre of the wreath, use white tinted with yellow. The space covered with diagonal lines may either be left plain, showing the panel colour, or barred across with grey lines made of flake white and black, tinged with carmine. [Illustration: Fig. 43.] Fig. 43.—This is the letter V combined with a garter. Size in the entire pattern, and lay the pattern in with gold, and glaze over the inner part of the garter with a light blue, the inner and outer edges to remain gold. The flying ribbon to be pink, composed of carmine and white, and the shading to be clear carmine, with carmine saddened with black for the deeper tones. The stems of the letter V to be green, shaded with a reddish brown, and the leafing to be the same colours. [Illustration: Fig. 44.] Fig. 44.—Paint the cap crimson, the wreath green and grey, lighted with a delicate pink. The circular part to be gold, shaded with asphaltum tinted with carmine; the outside border of shield to be gold also; the upper division of the shield to be red, deep and rich in tone. The chevron, or white angular band across the shield, to be a grey, lighted up with pure white. The lower division of the shield to be blue, and the deep shades to be purple. Paint the leafing at the base with a colour mixed of burnt umber, yellow, and lake; shade with asphaltum tinted with carmine, and put in the high lights with orange or vermilion. [Illustration: Fig. 45.] Fig. 45.—This is from a design by Gustave Doré. It is an odd but still pretty design. Lay in the whole of the pattern in gold; shade the details with verdigris darkened with asphaltum; put in the high lights with pink, composed of light red and white. The escutcheon may be coloured with light brown, carmine, and dark brown. The edges of the diagonal bar to be dotted minutely with vermilion. [Illustration: Fig. 46.]
