Splattered Ceramic Plate

Lin kindly gave me a few bits of ceramic to play with. I decided to use the smallest and simplest shape to start with, as I didn't really know what I was doing!!

Having read the back of the DecoArt multi surface paints, ceramics are mentioned, so I took out the dark scarlet and gave the plate a couple of coats.

I then took it out in the garden and literally threw carbon black media paint at it directly from the bottle. I used a pallet knife to smudge some of the spoldges.

I wanted to give it a coat of gloss glaze, but for some reason I don't appear to have any gloss.

Therefore, I put on two coats of satin varnish instead.

All products used are from the DecoArt range.
