Stick it to the buttcup

I put a dent in some of the work on the teacup, painting some wet into wet on some of the rims and handle. Blargh! Also, prior to this, I did the whole inside of the cup.
The blue in the saucer has been glazed in by Brett but will require more work... much like painting back into the bon-bon's red glaze.

This blue glaze was bad. It was like being in a hospital and your patient goes into cardiac arrest or some crazy shock and you have about 1 second to rig up some crazy way to jump start his heart again... ANYWAYS, in case anyone EVER needs to know this, I shall explain:

The blue glaze took two attempts. The first was liquin, in hopes of making it dry much faster. That failed since that would not become smooth (brush strokes). The alkyd type mediums have a tendancy to layer on themselves... creating an uneven covering (that is unless you are glazing like a 2 x 2 " area..)

The second was going to be lindseed oil but since that didn't stick to the too-dried grisaille by this time, we used a combo of liquin and lindseed oil. Well, we had to sacrifice.... there were brush strokes... But then we almost dropped dead because it was dry the next morning.

One way, or another....

...I'm going to drag this painting to the finish...kicking and screaming.
