Finishing Details for Porcelain Paintings

Video Transcript

"Now we're going to go in, and cut out the stems, and the way you do that, is you take a wipe out tool here, and here, so now I have a stem for my leaf. I'll go back and soften those a little bit, and we cut out,what we call windows in porcelain painting, and that's to break up the solid areas, and then you go in, and you use that feather stroke that I showed you earlier, to kind of soften those places,take that hard edge off. These are actually, the little finishing details that you do, before it's ready to fire, and you want to go in and shape those leaves, just a little bit more. Bring them out a little bit. Seems a little long, so we'll shorten that, using my wipe out tool, to kind of carve the little bit of edge that it has, and then softening that back, wiping off my excess paint. We're going to have to add just one more thing, need a little bit darker here, almost finished, just need a little darker around the flower. Ok, there you go."
