CERAMIC PAINTING

Materials Required:
A Plate
Camel texture white
Camel Acrylic gloss medium
A design
Carbon paper
Pencil
Oil Paints
Brushes
Procedure :
Take the plate and clean it well.
Trace the design on to the plate using a carbon paper.
Give the outline of the design using a cone filled with Camel texture white.
Wait till the outline dries.
Now paint the design with oil paints. Choose colours according to your taste.
It takes 2-3 days to dry.
After drying apply camel acrylic gloss medium onto the plate. It gives a glossy finish to the painting and also helps it to last long.
Your ceramic painting is ready.
To make a cone:
Take a thick plastic cover or sheet, roll it in the shape of a cone and stick the edges. Fill the paste inside the cone and close it sticking the ends tightly. Make a small hole with a pin at the tip of the cone. The fine paste can be squeezed out in a thin strand. This can be used to give the out line of the design in the plate

METHOD:

1.While sticking M-seal string on glass,  glass piece should not move from design.
2.Before start painting the color,test your shades on the corner of the glass and wipe it off with the thinner.
