China Painting For Beginners

Set of twelve to fifteen colors (powder)
mixing oil,
China painting medium
Gum turpentine
Small palette
3 brushes in various sizes
and a 6 x6 inch tile

Try a 6 inch plate or tea tile or plain tile first

Start with single wild rose, daisy, violet or a simple fruit design
Design may be traced on china with graphite paper or sketched with china marking pencil

Mix colors, place powdered color about size of a pea on ground glass palette
With a medine dropper drop about two drops of mixing oil and grind with palette knife until smooth
Remove pat of color to smooth glass palette
mixture should stand in a compact pile
Too much mixing oil will cause it to spread out

Gum turpentine is used to clean brushes, pallette and palette knife
Clean ground glass palette each time a color is mixed its best to mix all the colors first and place on a plate.

if too much oil is used painting will be sticky and gather lint

Practice practice practice

Its important to put paint on very thinly for first fire, getting in design
For second fire, put in shadows and detail
Firing is done much lighter than ceramic firing but the same kiln is used
