Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired shelf cone 04 Bisque. Moisten a clean sponge and wipe bisque to remove dust.

On a palette, thin slightly SG-411 Purple and SG-406 Brown, use CB-106 to brush around the flowers and leaves with on coat of the Purple and use the Brown to brush over the Purple in the shadow areas such as around the flowers on the face, and from the middle of the belly to under the belly. Sponge off some of the color from the muzzle to lighten.
