Continuing my test with the ceramic markers, things are going well. I found the right time and temp. This is my last try, testing the red marker. It works fine. I also tested a color pencil that draw on the ceramic, so I can at least do some structural lines. It didn’t interfered with the marker! Happy. Drawing in curve surfaces can be tricky!

Second test with permanent markers for ceramic. First one, the one with the octopus, was not baked enough and the drawing could be scratched with a fingernail. This time I baked it more, and a higher temp, and looks like is set forever there! At least can’t be scratched with my fingernail, I might have to try harder with other thing, but is enough to give me confidence on its permanence.
The bowl is small: 11cm/4.5 inches wide.

my first drawing on a ceramic plate, an experiment, draw directly, without pencil. I will bake it to make it permanent. I’m liking this, the markers flow well, better than expected, really…

design for a plate design… you see, I got these markers for ceramic, and a oval test plate, so I have to draw something there, right? And what I do think of? yes… another octopus… and some crazy fish. Let’s see how it goes, and how good are those markers.
