Tips & Techniques
1. Cover-Coats may be tinted using E-Z StrokesTM or other Cover-Coats, to create unique custom colors.
2. To create carved designs, sgraffito (gently scratch through the applied color to reveal the color or the clay body beneath it).
3. Painting with Cover-Coats is similar to painting with acrylic paints and is a great fired alternative for a tole and decorative painter. Colors are opaque and generally one color covers the one beneath it. They must be fired to ensure maturation and stability. Clear glazes over all shows the truest colors.
4. Cover-Coats are perfect for airbrushing and brushwork.
5. Cover-Coats are great for layering because they dry quickly and can be painted over without lifting the colors underneath.
