 WATER COLORS. 
 
 By MARION KEMBLE. 
 
 SELF-INSTRUCTIVE. 
 
 With Lists of Materials, their Cost, and all information necessary 
 for the beginner. 
 
 and there are six outline drawing 
 
 The author begins at the begin- 
 ning, and tells all those little things 
 which it is absolutely necessary the 
 beginner should know, and which 
 teachers generally overlook, taking 
 it for granted that they are already 
 known. In fact, it assumes that the 
 pupil knows nothing whatever upon 
 the subject, and explains everything 
 so clearly as to render him wholly 
 independent of a teacher in acquiring 
 the rudiments of drawing and paint- 
 ing in water-colors. The text is 
 profusely illustrated with diagrams, 
 for practice in Sepia.

PREFACE. 
 
 The objects of this series of books of outline pictures arc manifold. The pictures 
 arc designed for giving practice to those who desire to learn how to paint in water- 
 colors ; the instructions are simple, and will show the beginner what effects may- 
 be had in simple flat and graded washes of color. Those more advanced in painting 
 may color them for birthday or Christmas presents for their little friends. A book 
 painted by some friend will possess an individuality, and always be more highly 
 prized than one from the bookseller. Again, children who are looking for pictures 
 to paint will find these best suited to their wants. The series, when completed, will 
 contain books of figures, flowers, landscapes, animals, fruits, birds, etc., etc. 
 
 This book is a part of a self-instructive system of art education under the form of 
 amusement. 
 
 The first steps are explained in the little book entitled " Introductory Lessons in 
 Drawing and Painting in Water-Colors," by Marion Kemble. Price, 50 cents. 
 
 This book begins with primary instructions in drawing and closes with six lessons or 
 studies in sepia, and teaches thoroughly how to lay on flat and graded washes. The 
 instructions are intended for beginners without regard to age, and will teach them how to 
 use colors and to fully understand and execute the directions for painting these outlines. 
 
 After acquiring a knowledge of colors and how to use them, all practice with the 
 brush will be of value to the pupil. Without such knowledge it may do great injury, 
 especially in the case of children. 
 
 With the aid of this book parents will be the best instructors of their children.

 GENERAL REMARKS. 
 
 To heighten the effect of these pictures after they are painted it is desirable to out- 
 line them, that is, to go over all the printed lines of the picture with a darker shade of 
 color ; in most cases, dull red or reddish brown is the most desirable. In some of the 
 special directions I have said outline in dull red, but the others are just as important as 
 those mentioned. The directions are given to assist the beginner, but some may prefer to 
 use their own judgment, or even paint them from nature.

DIRECTIONS FOR PAINTING THE LITTLE 
 BOY ON SEWING-MACHINE. 
 
 Boy : hair and eyebrows, reddish brown (light red, sepia, and a little gamboge) ; hair 
 made darker at the ends (second coat of same color after the first has dried) ; flesh, pink 
 (a very thin wash of vermilion, with a speck of gamboge) ; shadows on flesh, which are 
 indicated by lines, make a little darker by adding a very little light red ; eyes, blue (Prus- 
 sian blue, made quite light with water) ; pupils of eyes, black (Vandyke brown and indigo) ; 
 lips : lower lip, vermilion ; upper lip, light red and a little sepia ; dress, leave white, except 
 shadows, which are indicated by lines in the picture, these paint gray (cobalt, with a 
 very little vermilion). Piece of cloth lying across the machine, light blue (Prussian blue, 
 made quite light with water) ; shadows, which are indicated by lines, darker blue (same 
 color [darker], made by using less water) ; small square in the middle of top, bluish gray 
 (cobalt, and a very little vermilion) ; next largest square, brown (sepia, and a little light 
 red) ; outside square, darker brown (Vandyke brown) ; diawers in machine, brown (Van- 
 dyke) ; go over the knobs and line with a duller brown (add sepia). Running part of the 
 machine, black (Vandyke and indigo) ; leave the number 8 and the trimming, yellow (gam- 
 boge) ; paint the rod that runs up from the needle, gray (cobalt, and a very little ver- 
 milion) ; spools, blue (Prussian blue). Put a wash of gray behind child, beginning at level 
 of her shoulders and running irregularly down behind the machine to the edge of the 
 circle, but leaving an uncovered place under the right edge of the machine (cobalt, a little 
 vermilion, and a very little gamboge) ; shouldcr-kuots, pink (very pale wash of crimson 
 lake) line of circle, red (vermilion and a very little light red); all the lettering the same. 
 Daisies, left white ; those that are shaded all over to be painted all over bluish gray 
 (cobalt and a very little vermilion) ; and the others painted when shaded with the same 
 color. Centres, yellow (gamboge), shaded, 'when made, with a little brownish yellow 
 (gamboge and a very little light red) Stems and leaves, green. These should be varied 
 as much as possible, — some leaves dark, some light, some yellower than others. To do 
 this, you may pass your brush occasionally over your yellow cake and sometimes over 
 your Vandyke to give a brown tinge. Butterflies, yellow (gamboge) ; tips of wings and 
 markings, black (sepia and indigo). 
 
BUJLFINUK'S MYTHOLOGY. 
 
 AGE OF FABLE 
 
 CONTAINING THE STORIES OF THE 
 
 GODS AND HEROES, 
 
 Which form the subjects of by far the greater portion of the 
 
 ANCIENT FAINTING^ AND STATUARY 
 
 to be found in the ART MUSEUMS of the Old and New Worlds. 
 
 By THOMAS BULFINCH. An Enlarged Edition, printed from 
 
 entirely new type, with over One Hundred New 
 
 Sllustrations from Ancient Paintings 
 
 and Statuary. 
 
 Edited by Rev. E. E. HALE. 
 
 Without a knowlege of Mythology much of the elegant literature of our own 
 language cannot be understood and appreciated. In this volume the stories of 
 Mythology are told in such a manner as to make them a source of amusement and 
 to give our work the charm of a story book, yet by means of it to impart a knowledge 
 of an important branch of education. 
 
 In the new edition the publishers have added very largely tc the value of the book, 
 as well as to its beauty, by the numerous illustrations from the very best classical 
 source.-'. The reader will see that these illustrations, in reproducing the master- 
 pieces of ancient art, give the best idea whicn we can have of the conceptions which 
 Greek and Roman had of the sacred beings in their Mythology. 
 
 Wo trust our young readers will find it a source of entertainment; those more 
 advanced, a useful companion in their reading; those who travel and visit museums 
 and galleries of art, an interpreter of paintings and sculptures; and those who min- 
 gle in cultivated society, a key to allusions which are occasionally made. 
 
 The book has been so widely and so successfully used in schools that it seems 
 proper to add that this new edition is considerably enlarged.

We wish to call particular attention to this Box of Colors. They are not Toy Colors, but are manu- 
 factured expressly for us in London, for the use of Art Students and beginners in Water-Color Painting. 
 The following are samples of a large number of testimonials which we have received from those who have 
 used our colors, and will convey, perhaps, a more satisfactory idea of their value than any words of ours: 
 
 Messrs. S. W. Tilton & Co. Dear Sirs : As far as I have used them, I like them better than the Art School Color-Box, which 
 the puoiis have been using. The Colors beiug in pans is an advantage ; also the fact that the Colors can be obtained separately at a 
 moderate price. I have recommended the Bkcokative Art Colok-Box to be used next year. 
 
 Very respectfully yours, JULIA A. STETSON, Girls' High School, Boston. 
 
 Messrs. S. W. Tiltox & Co,, 333 Washington St., Boston. Gentlemen : I take great pleasure in recommending your Deco- 
 rative Akt COIiOlt-Box. I have used it in the Newton High School, and find that it answers every requirement. The Colors are 
 clear and brilliant, end work well, while its low price places it within the reach of all. I consider it the best of the kind in the 
 market. Very respectfully, R. F. BOWLER, Teacher of Drawing, Newton and Salem Normal. 
 
 Each Box, which is made of Japanned Tin, has the name of S. W. Tilton & Co., Boston, stamped on 
 the lid, and contains three brushes and ten pans of moist Water Colors, arranged in the following order : 
 
 Indigo, Vermilion, Cobalt, Gamboge, Prussian Blue, C. La7ce 9 Vandyke Brown, 
 
 Yellotv Ochre, Sepia, Light Red* 
 
 No change of Colors will be made in the Boxes. Price £0 cts. each, at our office, or sent by mail. 
 
 Each Box contains directions for mixing, so as to make any color called for in painting our Outline 
 Design Cards and Books of Pictures, but for the convenience of those who may -wish for other tints without 
 the trouble of mixing, we can supply the following colors, separately, at Six Cents each:
