Rich, red poppies dance and play on the sides of the Duncan® Oh Four® pitcher with the help of Duncan® Concepts® Underglazes and your creative touches.
Instructions
1. Wipe ware with damp sponge to remove bisque dust.
2. Pour some Pure Brilliance into pitcher and roll around to coat inside. Pour remainder of glaze into clean container. Let dry.
3. Place clay carbon paper on pitcher with pattern on top. Trace over pattern lines with a pencil to transfer image onto pitcher.
4. Use No. 8 Round to brush three coats Really Red onto the petals. Let dry after each coat.
5. On palette, mix a small amount of Black into the Really Red to create a darker Red. Refer to photo and paint in shadows and establish individual petals.

7. Pour Bright Green onto palette and a small puddle of Dark Kelp. Use No. 1 Liner to brush paint stem with Dark Kelp.
8. Use No. 6 Round to paint a series of Bright Green leaves using the “press and pull” technique.

10. Add a little Black to the Bright Green and using Liner brush, detail leaves further. Let dry well.
