Pottery clay effect

So there are a few more things. The two main rules I already explained in the video:

1. Don't try to get too detailed. This effect is designed to imitate the most ordinary pottery clay. You can't get in lots of details with that. That is why porcelain was invented for aristocrats XD

2. Colors. Colors, colors, colors. Don't make something too red, or too blue, or too yellow. Think natural pigments. Natural as in dirt pigments, those are the ones that are readily available to folk people, and those aren't that bright colors. The earthy tones of Sculpey Souffle are just perfect - the only colors that won't work from that range are So 80's Turnip, Guava and Lagoon. And even those, if you add a bit of other colors they're going to be good, like add a touch of grey or yellow (well no yellow on turnip eh)

3. Again colors, but this time we talk finishing colors. They need to be relatively earthy too, the glazes in popular art are also made with dirt pigments and inks, mostly. So choose for the dark part something close to the base color of the clay underneath but several shades darker, and for the "touch-up" on the top of the clay, a few shades lighter. It's that simple. And kind of goop the varnish on it. Not badly goop it, but if it seems thicker on some parts than others, it's ok, it's supposed to imitate the glaze. Also, once again, when you put varnish over texture, go SLOW otherwise you'll get air bubbles.

Well, that's about it. I'm sure people who like to make polymer clay tiles will love this.
