sometimes a little chloride of silver previously melted with flux
No. 3. If the purple, when prepared, does not melt sufficiently easy,
some flux may be added when it is dry.


246. DEEP VIOLET

The purple of Cassius, in place of flux No. 3, flux No. 1 is mixed
with it. Sometimes a little of blue No. 233 is added.


247. FLESH RED

The sulphate of iron, put in a small crucible, and lightly calcined,
produces a suitable red oxide. Those which have the desired tone are
selected. All the flesh reds are made in this way, and vary only in
the degree of heat which they receive.


248. HAIR BROWN

Yellow ochre, No. 244, 15 parts; oxide of cobalt, 1 part; well
triturated and calcined, in order to give the tone to it.


249. LIVER BROWN

Oxide of iron made of a red brown, and mixed with three times its
weight of flux No. 2. A tenth of sienna earth is added to it if it is
not sufficiently deep.
