Dry Brushing Ceramic Bisque

Oct 24 2014 have you ever wondered why some ceramic pieces have an antique look to them.

Dry brushing ceramic bisque.

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. 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. The dry brushing technique that i use is hand painting at its best. Dry brushing does not look attractive without the original base coat.

Before dry brushing it first must be base coated. Painting your ceramic bisque black can be scary but i ll show you the outcome is fantastic. It may take more than one coat to achieve the desired color saturation. This will clean off any dust or dirt on the ceramic bisque.

Begin your project by having a prepared piece of bisque fired to cone 03 05. Dry with a paper towel making sure it is completely dry prior before working on it. Buy an unpainted ceramic piece that catches your eye. Rinse or wash the unpainted piece with water when you get it home.

Dry brush each individual chalk color on to the ceramic starting with the smallest area and working toward the largest area. Join me as i dry brush these adorable ceramic snoweople. 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.
