This is for hobby Colorobbia: Preparation: The consistency of the Bisque Stroke underglazes in the jar is jelly-like. Stir well and with a palette knife, remove some color onto a glazed tile. If neede, thin colors with a few drops of water and/or HC-0001 Transparent glaze to a cream consistency. The thinning with transparent glaze is ideal for majolica techniques or for a more translucent color. Brushwork: Mix Bisque Stroke underglazes, as mentioned above, to proper consistency for the technique. Load brush with conditioned underglaze. Apply strokes to matured bisque ware. If brush drags while performing a brush stroke, the color is still too thick. Thin with a little more water and/or transparent glaze to achieve a more workable consistency.When design is finished, glaze with a transparent or transparent colored glaze and fire to witness cone 05-07. Antiquing: Mix the Bisque Stroke underglaze with water to achieve a wash consistency. Apply conditioned color to matured bisque using as large a brush as possible. Use a clean, damp sponge to wipe the piece down, leaving the color in the crevices. Keep the sponge clean at all times to ensure clean highlights. When the piece is dry, glaze with a transparent clear or transparent colored glaze and fire towitness cone 05-07. Airbrushing: The Bisque Stroke underglaze colors are ideal for airbrush decoration. For airbrushing, thin to approximately one part water to one part color. This mixture will vary according to airbrush and technique employed. Airbrush color over the surface of the bisque ware until the desired color is achieved, glaze, and fire to glaze maturing temperature. Burnout can occur if colors are applied too thin. Always airbrush in a properly ventilated area with an exhaust fan,and wear a mask and apron for safety. Courtesy of hobby Colorobbia
