Amber.

—An imitation of amber can be produced by mixing equal portions of burnt sienna, burnt umber, blue black and orange chrome yellow, and adding a quantity of white lead until the desired tint is obtained.

Antique Bronze.

—Add ivory black to orange chrome yellow in the proportion of about five parts of black and one part of orange.

Asiatic Bronze.

—One part medium chrome yellow, two parts raw umber, and lighten with white lead.

Brass Yellow.

—This may be obtained by mixing forty parts of white lead, twelve parts of light chrome yellow, one part raw umber, and one part burnt umber. Or a mixture of French ochre and medium chrome yellow, added to a little umber, with a touch of blue, may be used to tint white as a base.

Bronze.

—Take fourteen parts of black and add one part of yellow and two of green.
