The Fine Art of China Painting

Porcelain painting, not to be confused with ceramics, is a fine art that has been around for thousands of years. Painting on porcelain pieces of white or ivory color with powered paints that are mixed with mineral oil to the consistancy of tooth paste are applied one layer at a time after each firing in a kiln.
China painting is the sister to watercolors - starting with your lightest to darkest. If you are interested in learning this ancient dying art contact us at wetpaintstudiosofwalden@ gmail.com. We would love to share our knowledge and fellowship with any one interested in this fine art.

January Meeting - Jan Demos Gounding

Jan begins her demo on grounding by instructing us how to mix powder paint with fat oil to paint background of any piece.  First, to protect the painted part you must cover with red resist, a masking liquid.

Red Resist is applied

Black Grounding is applied onto entire background

When grounding is dry, usually takes about 30 minutes, the resist is removed and piece is ready for the kiln

Necklace ready for resist to be removed

Lois has finished and is ready for lunch


Marilyn chose to do a boarder in brilliant blue.  See beautiful results above.

Lois' before and after.


Grounding is a wonderful method when you want to cover a mistake, or want a rich background that makes your piece pop!
