Drawing With Graphite On Enamel - A Wee Coney In Amongst The Flowers

In this video I describe the process I am using for drawing and painting directly upon glass enameled surfaces. This is a wonderful creative outlet that allows for a full range of freehand drawing. Come along with me as I discover how best to make use of these techniques and imagine what then future holds. Unlike many of my demo videos, in this one although I have edited it I have left the key elements as real time video. I find that I get the most out of watching some things in the time they actually take. And.....its a video so you can skip ahead as desired. To make that easier for you: Introduction 0-1:30 Cutting Blanks 1:30-5:00 Prepping Copper 5:00-7:00 Enameling & Firing 7:00-14:00 Surface Preparation 14:00-17:00 Pencil Choice 17:00-19:10 Drawing 19:10-35:00 1st Firing 35:00-36:30 Painting 36:30-52:30 2nd Firing 52:30-end
