I did not do my zaradi earnings, and for the interest and enjoyment. I, basically , I can build a separate building on the site with all the neo

In this case, you have such financial opportunities that you can pay for roasting , etc., in other people's shops.
I was in a studio built in the country . I do not think that you can do so competently all ... It's a big house, with ovens, hoods , dryers , mixers , etc. The owner , a professional artist who has received specialized education for a long time he managed to find the order, did them well and attracted other artists who paid him. As he negotiated with the customers was his business ... In particular, he painted ( and did) fireplaces ... But then he gave up this kind of creativity , competition manufactures high ... it can not withstand this kind of artists . And you can take part in exhibitions of individual works , you'll find where to do ...
In St. Petersburg , held at the Manezh exhibition "Hobby 21st Century" , was attended by many professional applied sciences , the potter's wheel , too , that a lot of ...
Sell ​​beautiful objects , pots , jugs , plates ... Buyers have been , but this " exhibition " buyers ...

K-Maler, of course, you 're right , a single instance can be done , regardless of the cost of what is now the place to be with me. But the study, study, then where? on what? Before you calculate this in mind a single instance , you need to make hundreds of pieces before. And if the unit will be the first , apart from the shame it will not work .
 In the U.S., quite a lot of artists are competitive with the industry, because, first, create things at reasonable prices in the 50-200 dollars , and secondly, there is a strong tradition in the house to keep the handmade pottery , including for the table, there are shops for Suite with a crockery - wedding gift.
 At work, where I practice , dishes essentially every author - artist paints as he wants , no templates , and the perfectly competitive price , are going to expand, God grant them success!
As for cost - income ratio , I try to revenues from the sale of products covered even if the costs of these activities. If this happens, I am quite satisfied.

Today wrote a quick custom portrait of Michael. Wife Irina saw my work on another site , and Michael found this by searching my topic for AI and read it. So no wonder I am writing :-)
Many thanks to Michael and Irene for the trust and good time with you was easy and fun to work !

They are in the glaze, because it is an adjustment here and there-firing glaze defects have turned out, I was struck again and again glaze burned.

A couple of weeks ago hosted the Gormlis . They put two of my back 30x30 cm, sold a three - bida , 60 pounds. That's good , too, on the previous spin sold go quietly , that makes me happy , because it is not women's portraits in the style of Art Nouveau, and the attempt to offer something different from Iksigona .
And then a week later I received a letter , sorry , your work is not sold . Damn, how so? three bida was ... I go to the site, and there dropped a third of all sales improved , including in the first names of the auction. Allegedly due to a computer error was assessed wrong bids . How can this be the same auction goes offline, that the auctioneer does not see the computer screen with the results ? Well, nothing, but , as written , thanks to auction this error Your work again in the sale and means available to new customers :-) . Well done, come up with a euphemism !
But this is not the end of history , gone now , my spin again sold for the same 60 pounds. And all this comes weeks after the auction is such a mess with the results!
Conclusion, it is necessary to treat simpler auction results, and then we sometimes auction result British auction seen as the Bible.

The hardest part for me in the portrait - like leaving to create the image , and what to ignore in the person portrayed. Here and pinch - turns bad caricature and nedozhat bad - people do not like it when they look realistic. I had a case with a custom - written portrait of the first etyudik , very lady like , then sat down and wrote a fairly accurate portrait , she was disappointed , yes, looks like , but somehow it's not very interesting ...
My mother was unimpressed his last portrait , " I'm too kind ... " Today, asked her to sit for half an hour , he said , " I will not draw you, you just sit like a model with a pitcher ." The summary and the speed of the letter his mother was very happy , "yes , I like that! "
Need to write faster, but it does take a brush and a palette swap and otherwise be, so that was a smear on the preparation of accurate and color is not wasted time .

I have one that's not clear, why you so doggedly trying to learn how to ...
painting, if you have absolutely no understanding of the art, may be in a different area, you would have been more successful?

Got a big batch of his ceramics. Basically Technical marriage - half of the figure remained on the palms of girl who GLAZED awkwardly , as the icing along with a pattern began to flow , although I did not flow . But I'm glad I got anything at all , because there is a rough financial break , could not know when to get due to lack of materials. BUT despite the marriage , the products themselves look very good , they are bright , durable, shiny juicy and generally have an authentic majolica pretend that I still have not succeeded. White glaze - German company Ferro, good , but it is just part of the paint completely burnt out .
Cobalt ( blue dye ) from Gzheli , I really like , I want to paint at all only cobalt - rich deep blue .
'll Show everything to be seen and ideas, and the fact that I worked hard . With regard to marriage - I will consult and adjust the process ... in the next year . On some forum read - work ceramist teaches humility ! :-)
1. Cups with stucco. Those without marriage , as drips from the upper rim of cobalt created hairstyles ladies :-) On my third cup of visible signature IX, because there is no place to write the full name . On the masks I 'm writing back in full, and on the bottom of the container carefully wiped off , so there was no trace of the glaze , and then stick during firing .
2 . Cups with floral patterns . All came out , but I cobalt in any form is like.
3 . Another cup with coloring , alas ...
4 . Pitchers with stucco. Height about 18 cm
5 . Pitchers only with cobalt .
6. The first two and a floral pattern , and the third - the sun rises above the waves , was very beautiful , after drying , but all the glass.
7. Pitchers height of 22 cm The first plot - fish , sea - second , the third - willow .
8. Another pure cobalt. First - pattern , the second - irises , the third - the geometry .
Inside, all the products are the color of the crock , te -pink solid , glazed on the inside , too .

Seriy, a cup with those loved <! - ~ 1 ~ ->

vodoleykina, thanks! I first became interested in modeling in general , can still show the mask and the other with modeling, but a lot of that spoiled the excess. In ceramics even more important than in the painting, to stop in time to say the very material form. Originally I wanted to paint faces , te cover all the hair , ears, and other things. Mother saw one trial with a pink cup shard inside ( inside the cups are not covered with white icing and covered with transparent ) and she loved the color of the crock - it's warm , she said , is not painted . Then I decided to go ahead and delete the white frosting with projections to show the material itself . This proved to be correct. Clay, by the way, Ukrainian , Slavic , it's Donetsk region . It is so unique in its warm pink shard that its import Russian producers , in Moscow it is.
And the fact that everything came out , can put on the stove above fifty degrees (management stove burned and repaired it ) - that's run down everything that had not flowed , I have purple paint does not fade , and there burnt . There I saw , experienced master uploaded a huge oven dishes and they were all cracked , probably not dosushit in the dryer. There are huge stacks of plates may be a hundred - all in the trash.

I would advise first one or two colors only work.
 
Very wonderful (and sign, sign, sign!!)
