- Watch pre-recorded videos 1-7. This will give you a basic understanding of the way I approach underglaze painting and design.
Consider your design first.
- Look at photos of birds and notice their head, wings, breast, tail, etc. for design inspiration.
- Create your design and break it down into individual components: head, wings, breast, and tail.
- Decide what color you predominantly want your (bird) sculpture to be.
Underglaze Painting (Video 8 “Preparing Your Bird For Underglaze Painting,” and Video 9 if using white earthenware.
