Painting Your Gargoyle
After it has been fired in the kiln, paint the clay head and clay figure (See the examples at the top of this page.).
Begin with a thin (watered down), DARKER version of the color you want for the basic flesh tone. It should be more liquid so that it flows into the harder-to-reach areas. Make sure the darker color gets into all the cracks and crevices, so that none of the ceramic is visible.
Then, layer other colors on top of the darker color. Be sure to include variations of color (tints and shades). Add color details and textures. Work towards fine craftsmanship.
