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 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 so between each coat, the color must be sprayed in order not to lift the first layer.

Technique

1.      Apply Black TL to the cobblestones, sidewalk, foundation stones, above doors, corner stones of eave, sign frame, stone area on ends, area below windows and roof.  Wipe back sidewalk, cobblestones, stones area on ends and roof for highlights. Spray. 

2.      Randomly drybrush cobblestones and a few shingles Brick Red, Light Gray, Wedgwood Blue and Mink.  Highlight sidewalk with Light Gray.

3.      Apply Cloud White to the body of the building including down into crevices to create a mortar look between bricks.  Drybrush bricks 2 times with Dark Umber, careful not to cover mortar.  Randomly paint a few bricks with Brick Red and Flat Black.

4.      Evenly drybrush above doors, foundation stones, corner eaves and window boxes with Light Tan then tip into White to further highlight.  Detail corner stones with Medium Mocha and Black.

5.      Drybrush 4 coats of Cloud White to the body of sign, awning stripes and all trim work.  Spray after each coat.  If needed, evenly drybrush with White.  Paint decorative detail with Antique Red and informative detail with Flat Black.  Highlight frame with Slate Gray then tip into White to further highlight as desired.

6.      Heavily drybrush doors with Medium Mocha then tip into Light Tan to bring out kick plates.  Apply Cloud White to door trim.  Spray.  Use White acrylic to trim out door and window in doors.  The handles are Flat Black and highlighted with Slate Gray.

7.      Carefully apply Holiday Red to remaining stripes of awning and above the windows.  Spray.  Drybrush with Antique Red to even out color; then tip into Brightest Yellow to highlight.

8.      Evenly drybrush window trims Accent Green; tip into Brightest Yellow to highlight then into White to further highlight.  Add detail to top area with Glorious Gold.
