By learning the complex, traditional European way of hand painting you gain the skills and techniques which you can use to decorate anything in pottery world. After firing on 800 degrees the motives sink into the glaze, making it permanent. First session : about the materials, mixing colors (China paints are in powder form, you have to mix it with a painting medium), learn the basic brush strokes, creating simple designs. Second session : refreshing the basics, and moving on to the more complex patterns. It is the start of layers on top of one another, creating a 3D effect. Painting the first layer, the base. The nature of painting medium is to evaporate, and by giving time for the first layer to properly dry, you ensure that it could be applied the second and third layer securely later.
