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. Allow to 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 further highlights. Spray with Porcelain Mist to set TL.
Reminder: In this technique, sometimes more than 1 coat of TL is necessary.
Therefore, spray between each coat of color in order to not lift the first
layer. Refer to photo for color placements in various sections.
