Tips & Techniques
1. Cover-Coats may be tinted using E-Z
StrokesTM
or other Cover-Coats, to create unique
custom colors.
2. To create carved designs, sgraffito
(gently scratch through the applied color to reveal the color or the
clay body beneath it).
3. Painting with Cover-Coats is similar to
painting with acrylic paints and is a great fired alternative for a
tole and decorative painter. Colors are opaque and generally one
color covers the one beneath it. They must be fired to ensure
maturation and stability. Clear glazes over all shows the truest
colors.
4. Cover-Coats are perfect for airbrushing
and brushwork.
5. Cover-Coats are great for layering
because they dry quickly and can be painted over without lifting the
colors underneath.
