It is wonderful to learn to paint with heat.
I made a white satin matte recipe and found through testing the perfect
ramp for it. It flows just slightly, so when you brush a wash over it,
with this firing ramp, the mason stain color flows just like on a
watercolor wash drawing! Its great!
I left the bowl exterior bare clay, and painted the leaf print I made
encircling the bowl when it was wet. I used mason stains to get the
autumn leaf hue: golden ambrosia, terra cotta, and sunset mason stain,
and bernard slip (all independent washes -- not mixed together)
I wanted a slightly different hue than white, so I took 3/4 cup of the
white satin matte glaze and put 2 teaspoons of golden ambrosia mason
stain with it. (It was late and I did not feel like mixing up a whole
new batch of the satin matte at that hour, so I just measured the amount
of liquid glaze and used a teaspoon in my studio to measure the mason
stain).
Anyway, here is the autumn hued bowl, inside and out.. its a fairly
large salad bowl, though you cant tell from the photo because the leaves
on it are so large
