Watercolor Sunset Plate
Designer: Kaylyn Froebel
Instructions
- Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
- Pour a small amount of each EZ color into 2oz cups then add some water (about 1:2 ratio of color to water).
- Tip: EZ Stroke colror goes a long way! You don’t need a lot for great pigment.
- Use your script liner brush to mix the colors with the water.
- Starting with the water, use a script liner to pickup Light Blue. Using dabbing or brushing motions, apply the Light blue about 2-3 inches up the plate.
- Pick up Peacock Green and apply in the same motion overlapping the Light Blue a little and about 2 inches above.
- Pick up Dutch Blue and apply in the same motion overlapping Peacock Green a little and about 2 inches above (this should end about ½ way up the plate).
- Go over each blue until you’ve reached our desired shading and overlapping.
- Using a Script Liner, pick up Neon Yellow. Make an arch to outline the sun and fill in toward the ocean. Overlap the blue a little to create the sun reflection.
- Load your brush with Lilac and use dabbing or brushing motions to apply the color on either side of the sun. Stop about 1 inch up from the ocean.
- Repeat with Rose about another inch above and overlapping the Lilac.
- Repeat above Rose with Creamsicle.
- Finally, add more Lilac above and overlapping the Creamsicle.
- Add color to each section until you have reached your desired shading.
- Using a Detail Liner, load your brush with Cobalt Jet Black. Outline your sun and add lines for the sun rays. Add wave lines to the ocean.
- Once dry, dip into clear glaze, stilt, and fire to cone 06.
