Went to the pottery studio today to do some glazing.
I've put some 'old gold' underglaze on these to pick out the detail in the impressed patterns.
On top of that is sort of a greeny glaze which will mix with the 'old gold' and make a sort of dirty lime green colour (providing it works the same as my test tile!) There is also a bit of translucent white.
The glazes in their unfired state are often really different in colour to the way they turn out. The white is white, but the grey colour is a greeny torquoise!
On my montana painting - I decided that it was a bit to cold looking. I have used almost exclusively cool colours! So I am trying to work a bit of warm brown into the trees. Also that colour naturally sits back. Still a lot of work to do here! I think perhaps I need to go back to my bigger brushes to prevent me from trying to go too detailed. Hm not sure. Definitely more to do.
