| Handpainting Porcelain makes it simple to create beautiful table settings using charming motifs, from colorful florals and picturesque scenes, to timeless monograms and whimsical characters. Porcelain artist Astrid de Sartiges instructs readers how to prepare colors, select materials, and master important techniques. This book will also inspire decorative painters and crafters who work with other mediums and surfaces. The step-by-step instructions are supported by worksheets that show a detailed breakdown of each motif. Although the technical overview covers how to work with porcelain surfaces and paints, the motifs can be used with other mediums and surfaces, including oven-set or air-dry ceramic and glass paints on china, earthenware, and glass, and acrylics on wood. The final section includes full-size patterns for all the projects. Paperback, 400 color and 280 black-and-white illustrations, 144 pages.ISBN:823021823. WATSON-GUPTILL |
