On these 2 tiny little coil pot demos I made last year
(1 3/4 " by 1 3/4 "),
I wanted to try out ceramic watercolors,
an expensive underglaze product I save for my Intermediate & Advanced clay kids,
for their works in porcelain.
Last year I introduced them to my Beginners for their tiny porcelain plates
and this year I've brought them out for the Beginner's bells,
slab boxes, plates and a few other projects that they've used on our Artic White grey claybody.
I feel the results are so worth the extra cost because if used correctly they can be quite lovely.
By correctly I mean to apply them in a transparent way like you would with watercolors on paper.
My T. A. last year,
senior Lynette Lee became quite good at applying these watercolors to my demo. pieces
so I want to make sure I gave her credit for these beautiful finishes.
Thank you Lynette!
The porcelain looks like molded butter beneath the sheer watercolors ... and Lynette did indeed take full advantage of coils and watercolors, both ... I love how the colors deepen where the coils meet
