Flow Into Color | Effortless Effects for Any Surface

The watercolor technique transforms glazes into soft, layered watercolor effects with no extra supplies needed. By simply adding water, artists can explore varying gradients to create beautiful painterly designs and seamless blending. Perfect for quick projects and adaptable to a variety of shapes, this technique sparks creativity and encourages personal expression.

Design Tips

This technique can be applied to both horizontal and vertical surfaces. You may achieve more flow by moving your horizontal piece around to encourage additional flow.
Experiment with both random designs and specific patterns.
Color intensity may vary depending on the specific color used, clay body and firing temperature.
When diluting color, it is advisable to apply a non-flowing base glaze first to the surface of the ware or finish with a clear glaze for a smooth, non-porous surface. A clear glaze may alter the color of the product, so testing is recommended.
Apply Designer Liner over dried watercolor designs to add definition or outlines.
