Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to Porcelain Painting Whilst nearly every branch of Pictorial and Decorative art has been made the subject of numerous hand-books, it is believed that no manual of instructions in the art of paint ing on Pottery and Porcelain has hitherto appeared. Under its present facilitated conditions, the art, whether cultivated for pleasure or profit, will be found to afford a highly interesting occupation. The practice of Ceramic painting does not include the varied manipulative processes employed by artists who work upon canvas or paper. There is comparatively little to be taught, some acquaint ance with drawing and colouring being presupposed in the learner. Painting in enamel colour is more particularly recommended. The surface of the glazed ware is always practically identical in texture, and colours of every hue are available.
