Painting Ceramics Work at Home
It can be an enjoyable hobby to paint. But when you paint on ready-made ceramics, you can even make some money out of it.
Would you like to purchase figurines and pots as well as decorate and paint them at home? We can give you ideas on starting painting ceramics work at home.
Ceramic painting is easy to do. You don’t need special machines or equipment to finish a project. All you need to do is purchase ready-made ceramics at affordable prices and paint them at home. The critical things you need are space for your work and a lot of imagination.
Painting Ceramics Work at Home Guide
When starting your painting ceramics, you need to select the paints suitable for this kind of project. Take note that ceramics might be a little difficult to paint on since it has a glossy, shiny surface most of the time. If you don’t select a paint specifically made for this, it will lead to premature peeling and chipping. Here are some tips to consider when working at home:
- Understand the project parameters well. Get to know if you will use water based or oil based paint.
- Consider the effects of glaze and color. You must realize that the paint you selected may not appear the same when you paint it on the ceramic especiallly if you’re painting over glazed surface. Never inhale these paints closely to avoid harmful odors or fumes.
Painting Ceramics Work at Home Plan
On a ceramic piece, remember that you don’t need to paint intricately in many colors. Sometimes, a solid color would be enough. For complex designs, however, use different brushes for each color and also clean the brushes you used to prevent them getting stiff. Here are the steps to paint ceramics:
- Remove any debris or dirt from the ceramic piece. You can do this by sponging the pieces and then allowing them to dry.
- It’s best to apply solid color to large areas of the piece first. Remember to select an appropriately-sized clean brush before you begin painting.
- Then, hold the piece only through the uncolored areas when turning it around. Try to stick to minimal color usage – if you made a mistake, you can paint the area again if you’re using acrylic paints (just wait for it to dry before repainting).
- Use a very small brush if you’re filling in little details such as lips and eyes. You can make the pupils by creating small dark circles and putting a smaller white circle near the pupil’s top.
- It’s best to paint a solid color to the iris and then add several narrow dark lines if you want to create a natural human eye effect.
- Spray a clear glaze to your dried piece to preserve it.
