General Directions: Begin with properly cleaned and fired 06 bisque.  Thin down White and apply over entire piece to get into all detail.  When dry, apply another smooth coat of undiluted White.  When dry, apply Hyacinth Blue in small areas wiping back for highlights until entire piece is covered.  Dampen a soft cloth with Solvent to wipe back highlights for an overall even look to antiquing.  Spray with Porcelain Mist to set TL.

 

Technique

1.        Apply Black TL to the cobblestones, sidewalk and bottom section and bracket of skate sign.  Wipe back highlights on cobblestones and sidewalk to a dark gray color with Solvent.  Spray.  Apply a second coat to sign areas. Spray. Randomly drybrush a few stones with Light Gray, Light Umber, Wedgewood Blue and Brick Red.  Highlight sidewalk and roof with Light Gray then further highlight with White.

2.        Use 2 coats of Slate Gray for flagstone foundation. Spray. Lightly drybrush with Light Gray then wash over random stones with Light Umber and Wedgewood Blue.  Lightly highlight stone with White.

3.        For the block on the body of building and top and bottom of front overhang, apply 2 coats of Brandied Raspberry then spray. Highlight block lightly with Razzberri then tip into White to further highlight.

4.        Use 2 coats of French Blue for stucco areas of columns, spray.  Lightly drybrush center of columns with White.

5.        Apply 3 coats White Cloud to skate then spray. Use one thin coat over “light columns” and running light eave to tone down blue.  Spray.  Use Cocoa Twinkle for sole and stopper of skate, doors and roof.  Spray.  If needed, drybrush White over skate to even out color.  Lightly drybrush sole of skate, stopper and roof with Light Umber, then tip into White to further highlight.

6.        Apply Sunflower to the radiant tops and very centers of “light columns” and door tops. Spray. Highlight with Lemon Meringue then tip into White to further highlight, especially at the bottom point. Paint window frames with White. Paint thin detail of overhang and vertical detail of “light columns” with Flat Black.

7.        Spray entire piece with Porcelain Mist.  Use Oyster to highlight center of stucco columns, radiant tops and “light columns.”

8.        Heavily drybrush the bottom of the skate with Shimmering Silver with the wheels being more evenly drybrushed.  Drybrush sign bracket with Sculptured Bronze then highlight with Glorious Gold.

9.        At this point there are a number of combinations one may use to create the illusion of running lights. As they are illustrated, the eave running lights are Ice Blue, Oyster and Copper. Moving to “light columns”, outside running lights are Oyster, Copper and Purple. The under set of triangle lights are Glorious Gold and Ice Blue.  The top set of triangle lights are Crystal Green and Satin Red. 

10.     Apply 2 coats of Hi-Gloss Sealer to the skate sign and “light columns.”
