“ When the dandelion looks up at the sun, it shakes out its golden tresses from the green flower-cup.See the tall, round stem—pale green, with tints of red.What colors do you see in the long, narrow, hooked leaves? Do they grow on the flower-stem? ”

“ Study the trunk: its shape; its size; the way it sends out its branches.Study the branches: their shapes; their length; the way they stretch out, or stretch up, or droop.Paint the true shape of the whole big tree. [Pg 6] The maple-tree in autumn looks like a great bouquet of reds and yellows in a dark vase.You can tell it from all others by the shape and the color.Paint the bright bouquet.Drop in clear colors to show the shape of the maple-tree. [Pg 7] When the trees are bare of leaves, we see how beautiful the branches are. ”

“ Study the growth and color of the stem.Paint what you see. [Pg 23] When you painted pussy-willows last year, you painted them in grays. Now show them in colors.The budding twigs of spring often show colors as bright as those of flowers.Look for color in the stems and buds of bushes, and in the tiny twigs of many trees.For willow catkins spring chooses her daintiest colors: soft silvery grays; rosy pink; pale green; bits of yellow; and never are two dressed alike! Paint them as they look now. [Pg 24] Would you like to tell the story of the life of the bean from seed to fruit? ”
