Glaze requires 3 coats. Let the glaze DRY between EVERY COAT IN EVERY COLOR.

Paint ONE color at a time. Then clean your brush well, dry it and move on to the next color.

Start with the large sections. *If you are adding spots or details, you must paint 3 coats of the light color under details of a darker color (3 coats). * Light colors do not show up well on top of darkie. Yellow giraffe. Paint them yellow 3x’s then paint dark brown spots on top. Spots also need 3 coats.

Lastly add 1 coat of clear on it.

You may paint the bottom of the whistle as long as it is a fairly flat bottom – otherwise see the teacher…

frequently.asked.questions.whistles Do I have to paint the white areas white?

YES YOU DO. Everything must be painted. There is white glaze.

How do I know it’s dry? When in doubt, use the hair dryer. Your animal should look

lighter in color and chalky like when it’s dry.

Do I have to paint 3 coats of every color? Yes, or it will look streaky and not painted.

Are you sure this is the right color? Check the label and check the name of the glaze color sample

you want. If they match, then yes it is. Underglazes are behind the clay counter on a long strip.

Can I paint it with 2 different colors to make a new color?

NO! Please do not do it. Pick one color and stick with it.

How many coats of clear? ONE COAT of CLEAR – the green will turn clear.
