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.

Apply Black TL to all stones, chimney flue, roof and beacon housing.
Wipe highlights on stones and roof. Spray. Randomly drybrush a few stones
around house with Mink, Brick Red, Wedgewood Blue and Light Gray. Lightly

Lightly drybrush beacon housing, excluding roof, and house roof with a
brush mix of Flat Black and White making a gray tone. Tip into White to add
highlights on all areas including chimney flue.

second coat and wipe back highlights. Highlight grass with Sunflower and
Tangelo. Spray.

further highlight adding more highlights where stones meet brick.
