Question:

Painting technique?

I want to paint a ceramic lion for my godson but I'm having problems trying to paint the fur. Is there a special techique to doing this?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Yes, first, get pictures of lions and study the fur.
Paint a base coat on the lion, darker color. Then using a dry brush method put on a medium color. Dry brush is dipping into paint and then wiping most off on rag. This will stop putting too much paint on and let the base color show through a bit. Then the lightest color will help to highlight fur, also dry brush method.
Seal with a matte finish glaze.
