Yay, good luck to you! Painting with underglazes is easy. Just remember to clear them with a zinc-free clear glaze so they're food safe. Thanks for watching! ❤️

Thank you for watching! ❤️

Thank you so much! ❤️

Thank you so much!

Awww, thank you so much!!! ❤ 😀

Thank you for watching! 😀

Awww, thank you so much for your kind words. And thanks for watching! :-)

I’ve recently developed an interest in pottery, both making and painting (never tried it). Don’t have a clue where to begin. Can you do a beginners guide to what to know and do?

Awww, thank you!!!! 😊 ❤❤❤

Oh, happy belated birthday!!! 🎂🥳🎉🎈🎁

Thanks for the uplifting response! So glad you like them, and I can share some information with you. 😀

@@WildAcornsArtStudio oh please do. I just cannot get the right consistency of UG. My brush tend dry out real fast. I think I was too afraid of adding water to the UG. 😅😅😅

Lol, that's hilarious! 😂 I love Bob Ross!!! ❤️

Awww, thank you so much. So happy you're enjoying the videos. ❤️ 😀

@@WildAcornsArtStudio and your work is gorgeous and very saleable!!

Thank you!!

Thank you! Yes, they really do. Sometimes I think I should just leave them painted-only, but the colors just don't pop that way. Thanks for watching!! 😀

Thanks for watching!! ❤️

Ha Ha, if only I had realized that sooner! :-0 :-) Thanks!!!

Thanks so much. Glad you liked the videos. I use a #20 tip for the Xiem. I thin the black underliner a little but so it flows better. If you turn the Applicator bottle upside down and it runs out or drips a lot, then it's too thin.

Thank you so much! I usually bisque to 04, and glaze fire to cone 5, with a 10 minute hold. I am using B-Mix 5 w/grog. Since I also love to handbuild, I buy my clay with the grog, for more stability.

@@WildAcornsArtStudio Thank you, Lisa!

Gosh, I use all sorts of different sizes. They are just cheap brushes from Hobby Lobby.

@@WildAcornsArtStudio Thanks!! So kind of you to reply!!

@@jsdhornby Very welcome!!

Hello. Yes, I mix the colors all the time. You may just need to add more yellow or more red to make the orange you want, depending how pigmented the yellow and red is. Some of the underglazes have more pigment/stain than other ones. Like Intense Yellow has way more yellow pigment than just yellow. That's why it's more expensive. So I would suggest just trying to readjust the amount you're adding of each color until you get the color you want. Good luck! 😀 Thanks for watching!

@@WildAcornsArtStudio Thanks so much for your reply!

This is white clay, so no white slip coat is needed. :-)

Wanted to add, that when I do add white slip to the dark clay I sometimes use, the slip must be added to the clay just before the leatherhard stage.

I did a kiln opening video for my older videos, which was posted about a week or two after the video. On my newer videos, I have posted the final pictures on the front page of the video. Thanks!

Only on a couple of occasions, and I believe it was due to the dust from the underglaze rejecting the clear glaze. So now I do take a dry towel and just gently wipe it over the underglaze design to make sure no glaze dust is on the surface.

I buy them from Queen City Clay, here in Cincinnati. They are mostly Amaco Velvets.

Hello. I fire to a cone 5, with a 10 or 15 minute hold.

Thank you! Is that 1180 C ?

That's Fahrenheit. :-)

But isn’t cone 5 the same as 1180 fahrenheit?

Cone 5 is 2167 degrees Fahrenheit.
