Dear Julie,
Thanks for the post and I appreciate your doing so.
The hand-painting of porcelain is like a watercolor technique or a transparent glazing technique in oils. The white of the surface is seen through the paint at all times except in the darkest areas (which are painted last).
This painting has 5 firings (about 2 hours of work per sitting). The paints will never dry so they have to be fired in a kiln each time (between paintings) to embed the paint and make it permanent. A hand- painted porcelain painting could possibly last forever.
Thanks again, Julie.
