I started with a black layer of
underglaze. I cut a fish silhouette out of paper and used that to protect the black
as I painted blue over it. I just kept moving the same fish and painting around it. |
Then I used latex as a
resist over each of the fish. I like latex better than wax, because if you drip it
in the wrong place, you can just peel it off, unlike wax which is permanent. |
Then I added blue fish, by putting
the stencil on the blue areas of the bowl, and painting black around them. I also
carved through the underglaze to add eyes, gill plates, and a latteral line to each fish. |
