Materials included

• Ceramic Paint: Choose non-toxic, dishwasher-safe paint for best results.
• Brushes: Use various sizes for detail work and broad strokes.
• Glass Liner: This is typically used for outlining and detailing; it can help create sharp lines and enhance your design.

Steps

1. Prepare Your Surface: Make sure your ceramic piece is clean and dry. You can wash it with soap and water and let it dry completely.

2. Sketch Your Design: Lightly sketch your design on the ceramic with a pencil if needed. This will guide your painting.

3. Use the Brush:

   • Start with larger areas using a flat or wide brush. Apply the ceramic paint evenly.
   • Let it dry as per the manufacturer’s instructions before moving on to smaller details.

4. Add Details with Glass Liner:

   • Once the base layers are dry, use the glass liner to add outlines or intricate details.
   • Apply it carefully to ensure clean lines.

5. Drying and Curing: Allow your piece to dry completely. Follow the instructions for curing; some paints may require baking in the oven to set.

6. Finishing Touches: After curing, inspect your work. You can add more details if needed or fix any areas that need touch-ups.

Tips

• Work in thin layers to prevent drips.
• Clean your brushes between colors to avoid muddying.
