thanks Denise, i now have 1.5 k and building. I will have to thanks all of them soon.🥰🥰🥰

The line width is dependent on how hard your pressure is on you pen. As you have probably noticed that the pen nib spreads as you press down letting more ink come through. It does help also to keep a 45 degree angle between your pen and the surface. Also when mixing your pen medium and the paint together( which I always advise using dry paint to mix instead of a paint that is premixed for painting) , mix it to the consistency ink so it drips off you pallet knife in several drops. That is loose enough to run through your pen nib. Hope this helps you. Let me know. Thanks for your comment.

Thank you Bev I appreciate your comment💕

Glad you love it. I am here to work magic. Lol

Thank you Gina. Glad you enjoyed.

Thank you.

Oh wow. How about that!!

you are most welcome

Mourhaf Agh thank you for your question. Yes I paint pieces to eat or drink from. They stoped making paints with lead but there are a few around still try this site. Dallaschina.com I will look for more sites for you and let you know.

@@JoannaBurch thank you very much ! 🌺

The temperature required to melt the glaze so the paint may settle into it is around 1450 degrees and obviously our ovens will not get there. I wish we could . If we do not let that paint settle into the glaze on top of the surface then it will not be permanent or washable. It would just wipe off. Thank you for your question

@@JoannaBurch thank you for your prompt reply.I understand, Would it be ok to do it in the oven for decorative plates ?

@@negarsadeghi1850 it would be better to buy the enamels that you bake in the oven for that. do not know what temp they require. also there are enamels from the craft stores that dries then you can seal with a clear sealer....

@@JoannaBurch Thank you for your time , appreciate it xxx

Ela, you may use a number of oils that will be able to flow through you pen top: I like anise oil you may purchase in a drug store , search Kathy Peterson or Dallas China online and purchase some pen oil.

Ela , Dallas China has a drying pen oil , try that Just remember that it will have to be ink consistency for flow. It will take several times for practice. Good luck.

@@JoannaBurch Thank you, will do! :)

Ela Maria 👍🏻

thanks for your comment i will try to get some on soon.

where are you located? yes you can use a pen with roman gold. a lady in Indiana has some decals you could go over in pen.

No Sharon i do not have a video on doing a monogram. in the past i have traced a design of the correct size onto tracing paper then taken a graphite pencil and covered the back of the tracing paper with graphite. Then with a ball point pen, traced the monogram onto the porcelain. the lighter, the better. i think it might be good to do some of it in pen and fire, then do your gold work only because it would give you some preliminary lines to work from. the Roman gold could be thinned down to a link consistency to write with. use a new pen so that you will not contaminate the gold, then keep that pen for gold only. I guess that would be a good subject for a new video! let me know if you have anymore questions.

@@JoannaBurch Thanks, this really helps! Can you tell me what type of pen to use?

@@sharonzion3301 any really fine tip pen point will do in a handled holder. This company in Texas sells fine points and you might look online to order or just call. Dallas China. dallaschina.com/... they will also sell holders... Btw. how did you do on your monogram?

there are some recipes you can mix yourself and i will look them up tomorrow and post them here for you...

you may buy 1. dark tinting oil and mix with dry paint. 2. Kay knapp has a paint over pen oil (www.kayknapp.com/Results1.asp?Category=%25&Keyword=pen+oil ) use by itself. these you can mix yourself 3. dry paint with a light capaba oil ..add a little lavender, 4. dry paint with fat oil thin with lavender oil 5. dry paint with anise oil all these recipes mix to an ink consistency.

Maybe you could turn up your sound on your computer....I can hear it fine on mine....do not know what else to say except I wish you could here it....

Joanna Burch thank you. Sound was up lol wish I could see in person this finished

i am so sorry you can not hear this....someone else on one of the other videos said the same thing...i will post it on my blog so go there in a couple of weeks...www.joannaburch.com/blog

Joanna Burch thank you for sharing your talent

this is a over glaze powder that you can put onto glazed surfaces, then fire in the kiln. the paint then heats up with the glaze and sinks down to become part of the glaze. it is then permanent and will not wash of or scratch off. thanks for your question....

it is an overglaze paint and fire into the glaze

All the glazed porcelain ware is fired at between 1300-1600 degrees. depending on the colors you are using, so the black or dark green scroll work is fired to about 1400-1500. These that we use in this porcelain painting demo are all "over glaze " paints intended to paint, of course, over glazed surfaces so that they sink into the glazes when fired to become permanent part of the surface. we do have painters that work in bisque ware and use these same paints on bisque, but do not think they glaze afterwards due to the firing temperature of the glazes. mostly high fire glazes ...right....then it would fire out this paint....as far as oils, it has to be oils that will not flame up in the kiln, "not flammable "...we mix with mineral oil and turp. then let dry.....hope this helps. Joanna

thanks Joanna. One last question, the colors could use mason stain powder, correct?

i do not know what mason stain powder is, so i can not reply to that....

it is encapsulated stains. So I guess you are using other products. What is the powder pigment you mixed with oil?

here are some places that sells the paints. www.dallaschina.com ,www.marylandchina.com/china-painting-supplies/paints.html........

Thanks Denise, it is there just still light....

of course you may, The color on this particular demonstration is a black green, but you can use any color. Since I am painting on a hard glazed surface, I am using what they call an "over glaze" paints,(which usually come in powdered form and you mix then with mineral oil ) so that when I fire it in the kiln, the paint sinks down into the glaze and is a permanent part of the surface. Most all these demonstrations on my channel are on a glazed porcelain surface. thank you so much for asking....

Other colors that I used on this particular video were muted greens, blues and of course gold for the handles...

thanks

thank you

you are so welcome Jackie....

+Elena Orlenova Elena, I use the pencil carbon under my tracing paper. remember to clean you surface really good with soap and water or alcohol. when you put your tracing paper on your surface, use a couple of pieces of tape at the top so that it does not move on you. very good question and thanks for asking. it helps me on other videos. Joanna

I could watch you paint allllll night! haha LOVE it!

+Karen Collins Thanks Karen, glad to hear from Newfoundland, Canada. what do you think I could do more videos on? input please. I do have some that I would like to do. glad you liked them. Joanna

These designs would look beautiful on nails using gel foiling!

yes they would

+ian white They are over glaze paints used for ceramics, porcelain ( for surfaces that can be fired in a kiln). They come usually in a powder form and mixed with oils to stick to the glazed surface. applied several times to get your depth. thanks so much for your comment, and if I can answer anymore question, please let me know.
