( Eleventh fire of "Mount Up with Wings as Eagles" painting.)


The Final fire of the painting titled, "Mount Up with Wings as Eagles" was finally been posted (June 7, 1998).  This is the last "Step by Step" project that I will be doing on this site.

Since Marci Blattenberger and I formed the Porcelain Painters International Online (PPIO) organization in May, 1998, my total energy has been spent working on the pages of the site and administration of the membership. Although I am not abandoning my web page, I have, for the most part, stoped working on the pages of my own web site. It is just too time-consuming to try and keep up both sites.

If you have not seen the PPIO web site, click on this link to http://www.PorcelainPainters.com .  I think you will like what you see.

Introduction

This page features the Step-By-Step process of creating a painting on porcelain.

I did three Step by Step paintings. As the painting progressed, I described what colors and techniques I used to paint the current firing step.   A picture of the painting is displayed for each firing step.  In this way, hopefully, you can see the painting unfold, week by week.

In the introduction, I describe what I am attempting to accomplish in the painting, and provide a picture of the plan for the painting.

The first painting, "Tiger Fun in an Aquarium" took 10 fires to complete.   The Tenth and final fire was posted to this page on September 13, 1997.  The second painting, "There's a Giraffe in the Nursery!" took 11 fires.  The Eleventh and Final fire was posted to this page on January 19, 1998.    "Mount Up with Wings as Eagles", the third painting, was completed and posted June 7, 1998
