Ceramic Dragons
One passion of mine is painting ceramic dragons. I buy the pre-molded greenware, sand down the rough edges and make sure the piece is well put together, and then take the fragile piece back to the ceramic shop where they fire it for me until it is a hard ceramic piece called whiteware. I usually basecoat the entire piece with a dark charcoal gray, and then begin building up the color in a series of washes until it reaches a point where it satisfies me. The blues and purples (or green and gold, depending on whatever color scheme I am using) blend into each other and then I apply a touch of irridescent color. Highlights are picked up in gold or silver and the horns are done with liquid leaf. I varnish the dragon in a gloss and the castle and/or rocks are done with matte varnish. I started painting these dragons for my daughter who loves them, a delight she has passed on to her own daughter. My grand-daughter loves the Dragonology series and has a flying dragon suspended from the ceiling over her bed. For me, it is more about the colors and artistry of the dragons than the mythology surrounding them, but I must admit to a certain amount of interest in that as well. |
