You should have a spindle-like smear, the technique of which will be used to create petals of flowers.

Now you can move on to more complexelements: try to paint flowers. You can draw real ones or invent them and give them any shape.

Wash the dishes thoroughly and degrease with acetone before starting work. Apply the contour and let it dry infor 2-3 hours. After it dries, you can begin painting the dishes with paints. You have already trained in drawing a picture on paper, now it's time to recreate it on a plate. After you have painted a plate or a cup, it must be left until the paint dries completely. To avoid dust on the product, dry it on a horizontal surface.

Acrylic paints dry for 24 hours, then painted dishes can be used, as usual. Stained-glass paints dry 6 hours. The latter must be burned in the oven so that it is fixed on the product. By the way, acrylic can also be heat-treated to secure the picture securely.

Put the cookware in a cold oven,then warm it to 150-180 ° C. Bake products from 15 minutes (for acrylic) to 40 minutes (for stained-glass paints). After the specified time, you can turn off the oven and let the ceramic cool itself.
