Potterycrafts Universal Water Based Medium
Universal water based medium; glycerine based open medium. Does not need hardening on suitable for underglaze or on-glaze.
Mix and blend together equal parts (by volume) of powder colour with P4264 medium. Then further adjust to the consistency you require by adding more medium.
Tips for on-glaze painting:
Cadmium reds and yellow: These warm colours need to be applied more thickly and fired at a slightly lower temperature, to 790C (maximum), with little or no soak. This method is most relevant to P4288 Golden Yellow.
Outlines:
Outlines for designs can be traced or drawn free hand using a soft pencil or fine marker pen.
For a more permanent result, a pale brown or grey on-glaze colour can be used with a fine brush or pen. This can then be fired to give an outline which will not be lost after the first firing. Outlines are best done on ware that has been de-greased with turpentine and dried.
Matt colours:
On-glaze colours can be matted down with the addition of a matting agent such as zinc oxide. This should be mixed at approximately two parts colours to one part matting agent.
