Paint a section of the vase using 2 coats of SC016 Cotton tail (this is where the astronaut will be sketched).
While the glaze is still damp, lightly trace the astronaut shape (the tracing should leave an indent. If you press too hard and can see the bisque, fill in the area with Cotton Tail).
Paint bottom on vase using 3 coats of SC015 Tuxedo avoiding painting in the astronaut.
Paint top of vase using 3 coats SC104 Grape Expectations avoiding painting in the astronaut.
On the face shield of the astronaut helmet, outline the interior with a wide band of SC104 Grape Expectations with 2 coats. Using a clean brush and clean water blend the edge of the interior line so it fades into the middle of the face shield. The outline that touches the astronaut helmet will remain solid.
Paint the face shield with 2 coats of SC103 Lavendear. Paint over the darker purple, it will come through in the firing.
Add some pink SC100 Makin Me Blush patches on the face shield.
Using the same SC103 Lavendear and shade the helmet and suit.
Sketch on 2 rows of fluffly rounded top clouds on the vase using a marker or pencil.
