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 for an overall even look. Spray with Porcelain
Mist to set translucent color. Reminder: In this technique, sometimes more
than one coat of translucent is necessary. Therefore, the color must be sprayed
between each coat, to protect the first layer.
Technique
1.
Apply Black translucent to cobblestones and sidewalk. Wipe back to
highlight, then spray. Randomly apply Light Umber, Light Gray, Wedgewood Blue
and Brick Red. Very lightly highlight with Light Gray. Drybrush highlights on
sidewalk with Light Gray then tip into White to further highlight.
2.
Use 2 coats of Emerald Twinkle for roof and over hang top and bottom.
For roof, drybrush highlights with Jade Green then tip into Copper to further
highlight. The look is of weathered and patina roofing and should look slightly
dull in finish.
3.
Apply Black TL to sign details, top of front fascia and door. This will
also include edging around sign where it would be a “table.” Drybrush door with
Chocolate. Add highlights with Light Umber then tip into Golden Ochre to
further highlight. With color still in brush, evenly drybrush window in door
then highlight with Ivory Tusk.
4.
Evenly drybrush sign trims and top of fascia with Light Gray then tip
into White to highlight. For the leaf detail evenly drybrush with Forest Green
then tip into Brightest Yellow to highlight. If this becomes too bright tone
down with Light Gray.
5.
Apply Bay Blue to front window frames and “felt” on sign. Spray.
Drybrush highlights with True Blue then tip into White to highlight window
frames; tip back into True Blue and then into Light Gray to lighten sign center.
6.
Use Maple for bricks. Wipe highlights, then spray. A second coat may be
needed for even coverage. Drybrush bricks with Light Umber then tip into Golden
Ochre to highlight. Further highlight with Ivory Tusk. Randomly paint a few
bricks with Brick Red and Chocolate. Evenly drybrush trim bricks with Ivory
Tusk then highlight White.
7.
Refer to photo on color placements of remaining details. On front
overhang, paint wide eave with Light Gray and thin line Flat Black. At top of
fascia and rear eaves paint eave closest to brick Flat Black and remaining eave
with Copper. Paint Copper on flashing above and below windows and door. Add
details with Flat Black and White. Door hardware is Flat Black with Copper
details.
8.
Details on sign are individual preference. Colors listed are suggestions
for cue sticks and billiards. For cue sticks, paint bottom and tip with Flat
Black then tip into White to brush mix dark gray to highlight. Paint center of
cue with Lt. Yellow Orange and bottom with a brush mix of Chocolate and Flat
Black. Highlight center with Ivory Tusk. Evenly drybrush billiards with Ivory
Tusk then highlight with White. There are solid and stripe balls for each of the
following colors: yellow, blue, red, purple, orange, green and
burgundy. Finally, the eight ball (that’s solid).
9.
Apply Hi-Gloss Sealer to billiards, cue sticks, Copper flashing, door
hardware and Flat Black trims.
