I absolutely love your videos Ann. You are very generous with your knowledge, and it is a joy to watch you creating! Thank you, thank you, thank you 🤍🙏
Aww...thanks so much Lucy! I really appreciate you saying that and Jim and I appreciate you just watching. Happy potting. Ann
Very beautiful. Thank you
Aww..thank you Cristina! Jim and i really appreciate you watching. Ann
What a lovely piece of art! An ocean of creative inspiration for you in creating your beautiful work!
Oh Wow. What a lovely sentiment. I love to design and create and with these videos, Im constantly in creative mode where I like to be. Thanks so. much for watching.
@@annruel1982 You are welcome! With all my heart I give you a magical cloud of my good energy!
Beautiful video!
Wow, thanks so much! I really appreciate you watching and am glad you like it. Ann
Hello Ann, this is something I did not try in the past because I am not a "painter". The paintings look beautiful and are perfect explained. I guess, I will try it ones. Thank you for this video.
Hey Sabine. This design is a great one to get started with. Give it a go and paint along with me. If you do, let me know how it went. Ann
@annruel1982 It will take some time until I try painting because of other projects. When I paint, I let you know the result. I wonder how I can send a picture without offering my email address in public like here in the comments..
Your work is always beautiful. I really appreciate the detailed discussion and color theory explanation. They all turned out so well!
Hey Em! Yeah! thanks so much. You know I always value your opinion. thanks as always for watching. Ann
Figuring out color combos is a bit of a struggle for me, so thank you for this video! ❤
Hey Denise! You are not alone. Color theory is very difficult and can be very tricky for sure. I hope this video gives people a good place to start. As always Jim and I think of you as one of our team and I thank you so much for your input. Cheers and happy potting to you! Ann
So unlike the watercolour technique of painting with diluted colours, you’ve shown how opaque colours can give depth to a shape by varying the colours. Thanks for these ideas.
Hi Warrior. I couldnt have said it better. In my own paintings, I like to do a combination of both watercolor and solid color layering. It gives so much more variety and interest. Happy potting to you and thanks for watching. Ann
Beautiful!! Great video! I wish I had just a bit of your artistic talent. Thanks for all the tips and instructions! ❤
Hey Dar. That is so sweet of you. Thank you so much for watching. Happy potting as always. Ann
Thanks a lot, it's very captivating process.
Hi Svetlana. My pleasure. Thanks so much for watching!! Jim and I really appreciate you! Happy potting and give this a try. Ann
Thanks!
Hugs to you sweet Denise!!! You are definitely a VIP in our Little Street Pottery Research Facility! Ann
Hi! Love your work and videos. When you say that you paint around the flowers with your white liner glaze, does that mean you fill in all the white areas with white glaze? Do you put a coat of clear over everything? TIA!
Hi Lisa! I am not a fan of the clear glaze...except perhaps the black and white vase. When you brush clear glaze over underglaze colors, it changes them. In my opinion, clear makes them more garrish, darkens some of them and makes some of them a bit streaky if there isnt enough coverage. I also like to do a little bit of watercolor on my own underglazed paintings. When clear is brushed over watered down underglaze it ruins the look I was going for in the first place. So instead of using clear, I brush white liner glaze around all my imagery. It takes longer and is not for everyone, but I love it and dont mind the extra work. thanks so much for asking and for watching. Happy painting to you. Ann
Ann, this is simply the best underglaze pottery video, EVER! This is a design style I've always wanted to do as it reminds me of some blue and white colonial Williamsburg designs, which I love! Notes to myeself: On the Monochromatic, Amaco Electric Blue, and Baby Blue...work from center out from light to dark. So bisque fired to cone O4, and then glazed arond all of hte imagry with a white liner glaze and fired to cone 5 with a 6 minute hold. Ann I wonder if you could say what kind of clay you used? Thank you so, so much! Do you do classes on this technique? I would plan a trip to whereever you are to take it; I'm not kidding.
Hi Diane! You are so sweet! I am so flattered. As far as the kind of clay I use, I prefer to paint on a cool white colored clay that is very smooth, so my favorite is Standard brand English Porcelain #365. It is a bit expensive so I have been also trying their other smooth white porcelain #213. It isnt quite the color I want, but if I want to save money it is sold at the pottery supply close to me. If I were you, I would check out what brands are available nearest to you and then see if there is a porcelain or "porcelain-like" clay that fires to the color that you like. As far as in person workshops go, I have been so busy with these videos and my own work that I dont teach in person any longer. Sorry about that. I do have some painting tutorials that are a bit longer than these 15 minute videos if you are interested. check out show notes. Give this a go. Im excited for you. Ann
@annruel1982 thank you for taking the time to reply; I appreciate it!
Ann, thank you for such precise helpful videos. I so enjoy your teaching style. I have tried this technique before, and I get a splotchy color. How many coats of each color do you use and how do you stay consistent through each coat?
Hey Roberta. Great question. The answer depends on the particular underglaze you are using and being familiar with what it will do upon being fired. But to be safe if I am doing a technique like this where I want a solid color without streaks and splotches, I would make sure I have about 3 solid coats and really look to make sure you cant see the clay underneath at all. If you have appllied three layers and still see a bit of the clay underneath, the underglaze might be a little too watered down, so dont be afraid to add more layers. the other thing is that sometimes if you are someone who likes to brush a clear glaze over the paintings the clear glaze may have a tendency to cause colors to look streaky or garrish. That is one reason, I dont use clear glaze. Good luck and happy potting. Ann
Ann why do you do a hold for 5 minutes on your firings? Also, when you add a white liner coat around your designs do you have any tips to not get the liner glass on the designs? thanks! I really enjoy your videos.
Hi Jan. Good questions. As far as the extra 5 minutes, it just seems to me that the extra 5 minutes I add to the load seems to give a little extra shine to my stiff white glaze. Without the 5 minutes, the glaze is a bit more matt. Nothing wrong with it, but I just like that little bit of shine better next to the unglazed matt illustrations . One other thing, if the unglazed matt illustrations are a bit rough to the touch I lightly sand them down with a fine automotive sand paper to make them smooth. As far as tips on brushing the glaze around the illustrations...I start by using a larger brush to get as much of the bigger areas covered first, then switch to smaller brushes to get the tighter areas. It is not hard, but takes a bit more time. Make sure you get enough glaze to the areas so it doesnt appear too thin upon firing.... It is very satisfying actually to me so I dont mind the extra work. I do have longer videos available on underglaze painting if you are interested. see the show notes. Give these a try and happy painting! Ann
Perfeito❤
Hi Joel! Yeah! thanks so much. Jim and I really appreciate you watching. Hello from Florida. Ann
Thanks so much! Why don't you add clear glaze over your designs? Style choice or functional reason?
Hi Xythen. That is a good question that I get a lot. I am not a fan of the clear glaze...except perhaps the black and white vase. When you brush clear glaze over underglaze colors, it changes them. In my opinion, clear makes them more garrish, darkens some of them and makes some of them a bit streaky if there isnt enough coverage. I also like to do a little bit of watercolor on my own underglazed paintings. When clear is brushed over watered down underglaze it ruins the look I was going for in the first place. So instead of using clear, I brush white liner glaze around all my imagery. It takes longer and is not for everyone, but I love it and dont mind the extra work. thanks so much for asking and for watching. Give it a go one with clear glaze over top and the other brushing a stiff white liner glaze around the imagery and see which one you like the best. One other thing, when you only apply glaze around the illustrations, you get a cool texture of a raised satin area where the glaze it and a bit rough flatter texture to the unglazed areas. I like the different heights and textures... (if there is any really rough areas, I lightly sand it with automotive sand paper to take that down so it is smooth. It doesnt hurt the underglazed areas.
@@annruel1982 Thank you! Your work is beautiful and I appreciate all your information!
@@xythenjones4263 You are so welcome! Happy potting to you. Ann
Beautiful. Do you clear glaze the underglaze designs?
Hi KD. Good question. No. I dont like clear glaze over colored underglazes. When you brush clear glaze over underglaze colors, it changes them. In my opinion, clear makes them more garrish, darkens some of them and makes some of them a bit streaky if there isnt enough coverage.

I’m wondering if you do this on leather hard, bone dry or bisque.
Hi Joy. Great question. I forgot to mention that in the video. I work on bone dry clay. That is my preference. Thanks for asking and thanks so much for watching! Give it a go. Ann
what kind of clay is that?
Hi John. Good question. I prefer a "cool white" colored smooth clay. The pottery supply near me sells Standard brand. Their English Porcelain #365 is my favorite but it is expensive so I have been experimenting with their cheaper white porcelain that fires to mid range. I like it but it isnt quite the color I want.
Do you water-down your underglazes?
Hi Brown. For these projects, my goal was to have a glaze that flowed well but I only needed solid color coverage so I didnt do any extra watering down the colors for like a watercolor look. this video was more about solid color underglaze and adding character to it by layering other solid colors over top of them. I hope that answers your question. Happy potting to you. Ann
