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 coat of undiluted White. Allow to dry. Apply Hyacinth
Blue in small areas wiping back details until entire piece is covered. Dampen a
soft cloth with Solvent to wipe back further highlights. Spray with Porcelain
Mist to set TL. Reminder: In this technique, sometimes more than one
coat of translucent is necessary so between each coat, the color must be sprayed
to protect the first layer.
Technique
1.
Apply Black TL to cobblestones. Wipe back to highlight, then spray.
Randomly apply Light Umber, Light Gray, Wedgewood Blue and Brick Red to stones
on base. Very lightly highlight these areas with Light Gray.
2.
Apply one coat of Black Forest to grass and roof then spray. When dry,
apply a second coat and wipe back highlights. Highlight grass with Sunflower
and Tangelo. Highlight roof with Flat Black. Spray.
3.
Apply White Cloud to base and siding of steeple and bricks of building
working into crevices to create illusion of light mortar. Spray. Allow to dry
completely. Drybrush 2 coats of Walnut to bricks excluding trim brick just
under the eave and on the top and bottom of out-set bricks on sides and back of
building. Build this color up slowly otherwise too much color may deposit into
crevices. Spray.
4.
Apply 2 coats of Holiday Red to door, spray. Drybrush bricks and door
with Brick Red then highlight with Old World Santa Red. Tip into Orange Rust to
randomly add highlights to bricks. Randomly paint a few stones with Dark Brown
and Yellow Ochre.
5.
For the trim brick under eave, top and bottom of out-set brick and steps,
apply Coal Gray. Spray. Lightly highlight with Light Gray then tip into White
to highlight.
6.
Apply Antique Ivory to corner trims, three-tiered eave, second eave from
roof ends, trim at steeple and small window above door; refer to photo for
placement then spray. Drybrush evenly with Ivory Tusk then tip into White to
further highlight, also highlight window above door. With a clean brush,
further highlight with White then evenly drybrush base of steeple, all window
frames and trim around door
7.
Paint a detail line on the large eave going around the building with Flat
Black. Also paint the doorknob, remaining eave just under the roof, roof cap,
trim on steeple base, and the roof on the steeple with Flat Black. Lightly
drybrush the eave under the roof and on the steeple base with Light Gray tipped
into Flat Black. Paint over roof cap, doorknob, detail line on eave and trim/
top of steeple roof with Sculptured Bronze. Very lightly highlight these same
areas with Glorious Gold.
