I’ve been devoting a great deal of time to developing a method for overglaze painting ( or china painting as it’s often called) that is more akin to watercolours than to traditional china painting methods. I mix my overglaze paints with sugar and water in the wells of my palette, and then use water to paint with as you would with watercolours. As I’m working on a ceramic tile you cannot wet it first like paper, my way around this is to spritz on water allowing the colours to mingle and run.

This painting is on a ceramic tile, it measures 20×30 cm
This is another painting using the same ‘watercolour’ technique for a china painting
