I have experimented with this before. The organic material in the paint will
burn away leaving the oxides. An interesting way to utilize acrylic paint is
as a resist. Paint the acrylics, then glaze the pot over the acrylics as you
would over wax resist. The results can be very interesting! Give it a try!

Steve's suggestion can also be very interesting when fired in a salt or
soda kiln. -Bill

Interesting concept. I tried this with oil based crayons.
Fired to ^06 oxidation. All I got was resist and no additional color. Nice
effect but wax is cheaper.
What cone are you firing to and how thick do you apply the acrylic paint?
I'm always willing to try a new idea. I teach Adult Education Pottery and with
the repeat students I have to constantly find new techniques.
Thanks for infor.

Has anyone tried using acrylic as a resist for glaze firing at ^6-8
(oxidation)? I tried to find out through previous posts, but did not see
anything specific. I'm going to try it soon, and I am interested in hearing
about other attempts. What about oil paints or oil sticks?

A potter here in Arcos de la Frontera says he uses motor oil. It leaves
a nice dark line on the reddish clay with majolica type glazes.

Using paint or oil sticks as wax resist presents some problems, lots of the
colors in paints are minerals and are likely to mark your works or leave a
residue on your shelves. Just for fun you might see what the paints do, but
protect your shelves.

Depending on the pigment used in the acrylic paint, it may or may not
burn out. I had some greens and a metallic copper that didn't burn out
at ^6 - a kid painted and then changed their mind and wanted it glazed.
We glazed over the residual color and it was fine.
Others have said that they have used acrylic gloss medium as a resist. I
have a friend who swears by liquid fabric softener.
As always, the advice is "try it and see".
