Genesis of a set of flamingo bowls – a really lovely commission and a fun illustration challenge…
Slides show the journey from initial sketching to slip and sgraffito illustration, freehand onto the earthenware bowls I threw; then the bisque ware and the final glazed result.
My best friend is in love with flamingos. And is now in love with your flamingo plates :] Did you just paint on with under glazes and slip? So wonderful
Thanks Amanda 🙂 Yep, they’re illustrated straight onto greenware with slips and underglazes and then outlined with sgraffito through to the dark terracotta while still leatherhard.
