Title Painting Maiolica with Cobalt Oxide Introduction
Description: A painting the figure of a servant on the maiolica plate with cobalt oxide.
Length/Size: 2 minutes/6 MB
Requirements: Shockwave-Flash
Comment:

"This intro shows the five maiolica plates made for Mons Tonitrus including the finished version of the plate from this series of lessons. I suggest opening it and resizing the window so that you can refer to it while watching these videos. "

"The other plates in the series are viewable in Gallery 1. "
Title Painting Maiolica with Cobalt Oxide part 1
Description: A short video of Mistress Dairine painting a figure of a young woman on a maiolica plate with cobalt oxide.
Length/Size: 10 minutes/24 MB
Requirements: Shockwave-Flash
Comment:

"Before I began recording, I covered the bisque earthenware plate with 3 coats of Duncan SN352 watered down to the consistency of Ranch dressing. I drew the picture on the plate lightly with a graphite pencil. I painted the old man and the musician and part of the young lady."

"I apologize for the poor quality. I didn't realize that my hair was getting in the picture once in a while until I was done recording."
Title Painting Maiolica with Cobalt Oxide part 2
Description: A painting the figure of a servant on the maiolica plate with cobalt oxide.
Length/Size: 9 minutes/36 MB
Requirements: Shockwave-Flash
Comment: "Better titles but basically the same techniques—outlines in solid cobalt and shading with washes of cobalt. "
Title Painting Maiolica with Cobalt Oxide part 3
Description: Painting the background with washes of cobalt oxide.
Length/Size: 9 minutes/36 MB
Requirements: Shockwave-Flash
Comment: "Adding a line of wash just inside the rim helps to create atmosphere and emphasizes the depth of the scene. The finished fired piece is shown part 4 and you can see how I added a landscape in the open window after the video was finished"
Title Painting Maiolica with Cobalt Oxide part 4
Description: Painting the banerole and adding text.
Length/Size: 9.3 minutes/36 MB
Requirements: Shockwave-Flash
Comment: "It is quite easy to add personalized text to any scene on a bannerole"
