Easy to learn flower painting using under glazes.

[@samanthakeller9159]

I always learn so much from your videos. I’m so thankful for how humble and kind you are. Beautiful work!

[@Vsmithpots]

Thank you for that.

[@conniemezzo9370]

A perfect Sunday morning is a Vaughan Smith painting video and a hot cup of coffee 🤗! Thank you!

[@susyward581]

Good morning Vaughan from a sunny but windy Cornwall. Coffee and a bit of KZbin before I start to wedge. Thanks for the share, enjoy your day

[@BrokenArrowPottery]

Definitely a spirit lifting bowl! And having fun with free style painting. Love it! Thanks!

[@ginafeddersen8200]

Thank you Vaughan for another great tutorial, you make it look so simple but elegant and I will certainly try it. 😊

[@EastWind123]

So beautiful! I do some underglaze painting as well, and I always find that just a little bit of black in each design makes everything feel more vibrant. I can't wait to see your floral work glazed! I'm a very enthusiastic new subscriber. Thank you for this video!

[@Vsmithpots]

I was working on the impressionist theory of painting. Black does make the colours pop. I use it sometimes in the flower center.

[@awakenability]

Great to see the nice weather and garden back home 🎉❤ thanks for a relaxing video today

[@cathykotter9430]

Really enjoy your demonstrations

[@lyli1969]

I absolutely love your work :) you are so good at explaining the process. Also a great voice so is very relaxing to see you working on your pieces. Thank you so much for sharing and taking the time to do so.

[@Vsmithpots]

Thank you, if it wasn't for Covid I would never have started doing these.

[@dainataylor5143]

I enjoyed watching your video from hot, dry New Mexico. It is hard to get into the painting mode when outside the pottery studio is over 100 degrees, but I am so happy to see you are doing it. I can’t get black-eyes Susan grow here, so I paint sunflowers on mine instead. I like your techniques and detailed descriptions. Thank you so much!

[@lyli1969]

Your plate is amazing and you have an amazing sense of composition

[@janettewilson5368]

I have enjoyed watching this over and over again…I keep picking up little details that I missed. Thank you for sharing your experience and talent with us all!!!

[@Vsmithpots]

Thanks, the flower pieces seem to be popular with several of them selling this week.

[@sonjad.1024]

Beautiful!! We learn so much from every video you post. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

[@carolynpollack1083]

Hi. I love how you painted this bowl. You paint with such effortless ease.

[@Spinquilter]

Thank you for a fabulous tutorial on using underglazing.

[@dennystewart3238]

Loved this! Thank you for sharing!

[@neilahalter9663]

I so enjoyed watching you paint and I also enjoy watching your wife paint when she does on the videos. Thanks for sharing with us all. 😊

[@Vsmithpots]

Stay tuned we are recording a video with Jackie tomorrow.

[@isabelkramen6533]

Thanks for the demo, it was helpful to watch and listen.

[@sharonpieri1896]

I believe colors for earth underglaze is one coat.

[@chakspat7186]

Beautiful work ! Thank you for another useful tutorial. Can the slip recipe u have mentioned work for a cone 6 firing ?

[@Vsmithpots]

No it bubbles above Cone 4.

[@chakspat7186]

Beautiful work. Can't wait to see the glaze fired pots ! Thanks so much for all the inputs you share . What would be a good slip recipe to use for a cone 6 firing.

[@Vsmithpots]

@@chakspat7186 I do not use one at cone 6. You could try Robin Hoppers Ceramic Spectrum book.

[@frankmeyers7304]

Very nice. I would love to see them after they were fired.

[@anneamus]

Deer: So nice of you to plant tiger lilies for me.

[@Bob-Is-A-PotterNow]

Based on your videos and generous sharing, I've broadened my horizons and have started painting and also have been experimenting with the layered slip carving. It's been fun, and not anywhere as frustrating as I suspected (given my lack of experience). I've also been alternating between using commercial underglazes and my own studio-made colored slip. In many ways I'm finding the slip easier to work with, but that does add the challenge mixing my own colors. Do you have any thoughts regarding colored slip versus underglazes? Thank you for all you've shared; truly an inspriation. 🤩

[@Vsmithpots]

I like slip because it is more opaque, but it does have a thickness to consider using stencils. You can never add slip over underglazes.

[@Bob-Is-A-PotterNow]

@@Vsmithpots "You can never add slip over underglazes." Good to know! I've used both slip and underglaze on the same greenware, but in different locations and not over or under the other. Got lucky! 😁

[@Vsmithpots]

@@Bob-Is-A-PotterNow We had layers of colour flaking off in places and narrowed it down to the slip being painted over underglazes.

[@melrussell7830]

Thank you Vaughan, a beautiful flower meadow 😍 I want to do some Japanese painting in cobalt carbonate and wondered if you just use water or a small amount of flux ?

[@Vsmithpots]

Hi Mel, it will bleed into the glaze either way so you get a softer look. We tried it on a white glaze instead of on the clay with a clear glaze, like Majolica. The pieces worked but you have to accept a softer blurry edge.

[@melrussell7830]

@@Vsmithpots thank you Vaughan for your fast reply 😍 I’ve watched Simon Leach videos using oxides for his decoration and that seems to give a crisp line? But he doesn’t give out a recipe… So how do the Japanese get all those amazing crisp designs ?

[@Vsmithpots]

@@melrussell7830 I think you can add some clay to the oxide depending on what you want the stain to do. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[@auroraskies8827]

Hi Vaughan - this is the type of glazing that interests me - thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills so generously. Spectrum one stroke seems to be available at Lakeview pottery, Regina. They have a price list which shows fire engine red as # 5567 - it's in the low fire list. Just FYI. And I'm not affiliated to them either. Thanks again

[@Vsmithpots]

Thanks we have some of the spectrum one strokes, to get a real opaque layer they still need layering, even the earth under glazes say layering is needed for an opaque effect. Painting on dry clay allows for a thicker application without running. Sometimes that is the best time to paint but care has to be taken not to re wet the slip layer so that it separates from the clay pot.

[@genetimpany7593]

Hi Vaughn, Tuckers Pottery Supply carries the Spectrum One Stroke underglazes.

[@Vsmithpots]

We have some but they still need layering for full opacity.

[@jsdhornby]

Love your detailed descriptions Thank you! Can you tell me your glaze recipe for cone 04 on the terra cotta. I glaze fire to 03 and use Woody Hughes Base Glaze Gerstley Borate 26% Lithium Carbonate 4% Ferro Frit3124 30% Nepheline Syenite 20% EPK 5% Calcined EPK 5% Silica 10% But I'm intrigued to know what you use for a clear over slipped terra cotta. Thanks so much, Vaughn.

[@Vsmithpots]

Just email me and I will send a photo from my glaze book. ([e-mail])

[@ilbarhai]

Would love to see it after burning

[@agritianinbess7045]

Thank You for the beautiful presentation! But I have a basic question? Do not underglaze colours need biscuit ceramics? Ca I use them on a leather hard pottery too?

[@Vsmithpots]

They sell under glazes for both bisque and greenware. Some are for both.

[@MammaRoub]

Loved your video! Would you please let us know where to buy these brushes and what is the name/ brand? Thank you in advance!

[@Vsmithpots]

They are on Amazon, I just searched Japanese brushes and they came up.

[@MammaRoub]

@@Vsmithpots Thank you for your reply! I just wanted to make sure if there was a specific brand, but apparently not. Thanks again.

[@ericaward1364]

Wow this is amazing! Will definitely try these techniques, thank you for sharing! Is there anywhere we can view the final fired product? 🥰

[@Vsmithpots]

Coming in a couple of weeks in an earthenware kiln unloading.

[@jackiestoklas6015]

I've had very good luck with Colors for Earth in one coat.

[@rachelkeane331]

If you made a stencil and left it on top of your clay, could you apply 3 layers of the underglaze that way, or would it bleed underneath the stencil?

[@Vsmithpots]

You can leave it on as long as you smoothed it in well with water, remember to take it off before it dries out.

[@peggyshaughnessy1575]

Thank you what an amazing video

[@CandaceMorrell]

Lovely work- I wish I could actually see how you paint the flowers-all I can see is your arm😢

[@heididerksen8227]

Beautiful job, wondering you said bisque at 04 and glaze at 06 is that for all glazes because I have glaze that says come 6. Is there a difference between 06 and 6. Just wanted to make sure I'm firing right if it says come 6

[@Vsmithpots]

Careful with the cones, download an orton cone chart to see the temperatures. I normally bisque at 06 to glaze at cone 6, for earthenware I bisque at cone 01 to glaze at 04.

[@heididerksen8227]

@@Vsmithpots thanks I'll look into that.

[@annbouchard8658]

Hello Vaughn from foggy Rhode Island. I’m a beginner and have a question. Do you put clear glaze over these under glazed pieces or just leave them as they are?? Thank you

[@Vsmithpots]

You need to cover under glazes with a clear glaze.

[@merrillfrank3219]

How do you glaze once it is by out of the bisque

[@Vsmithpots]

I dip mine but you can brush glaze.
