This is a big question!
May be to Edouard Bastarache,Ron Roy or Monona Rossol.
While reading peter beard's book, Resist And Masking Techniques, advising me
how to prepare wax-resist crayons,with or without,colorants I decided to try
my old and forgotten Oil Bars. Oil Bar is an excellent quality of oil paint
shaped like pastels,and made out of the best pigments.I had ^04 firing so I
took a piece of terra cota painted with some colors and between them I
applied engob.
The Titanium white, became off white.
The "Windsor" green ( Windsor - Newton ) Disappeared,so it acted as wax
resist.
The chrome green, did not change,
The light cadmium yellow became medium yellow
The Cadmium orange and red became brown and shiny.
There is a transparent oil bar that can be a nice wax -resist.
At my 'painting days' I loved to work with the oil pastel. Thinking that I
can paint with them on ceramics makes me real glad. But what about the fumes
of the cadmium or other binders of this lovely material?
Thanks, Ababi
