Dry brushing ceramic bisque.

Oct 24 2014 have you ever wondered why some ceramic pieces have an antique look to them. The following method of dry brushing is common for the less detailed textured items those with a smother finish and to obtain a fabric cloth type of effect. Before dry brushing it first must be base coated. Using a stiff dry brush in the appropriate size for the area to be completed push the chalk into the ceramic with a back and forth brushing motion.

Paint the ceramic piece in one solid base coat. I use the lunch bags sold in a pack at dollar tree and any ceramic bisque piece of your choosing bisque is fired clay called greenware that is. It may take more than one coat to achieve the desired color saturation. How is it that a ceramic dog or cat has an undercoating of white fur black fur and hints of brown too.

Rinse or wash the unpainted piece with water when you get it home. Buy an unpainted ceramic piece that catches your eye. It would be almost impossible for machines to achieve the dry brushed technique since it requires the human eye and soft touch. Dry brush each individual chalk color on to the ceramic starting with the smallest area and working toward the largest area.

Begin your project by having a prepared piece of bisque fired to cone 03 05. The dry brushing technique that i use is hand painting at its best. This will clean off any dust or dirt on the ceramic bisque. Join me as i dry brush these adorable ceramic snoweople.
