These four drawings stem from a period when I was learning to paint porcelain. It was a painstaking process, and my patience did give out. What remains are some sketches and – if it isn’t much – it’s better than nothing.

I can see these as tiles in a kitchen or bathroom. I never tried to paint tiles. I love your colors; they remind me of spring. I can’t paint a rose to save me. Can I make one suggestion? None of them seem to have a shadow below them, you know, just a darkening of the color(s) the object is over.

Debi, You are absolutely right about the shadows, but that is the way to do porcelain painting. There is no shadowing — only the essence of flowers. So to speak.
I was surprised how easy it was to paint flowers this way . . . even then. Must be more than forty years ago. Ehre does the time go?-
They look like you just did them! And you’re right, porcelain flowers aren’t shadowed. Missed that! Do you paint now? I sort of gave it up for writing. It came to one or the other.

I do paint when the light allows, which can be seldom here in North Germany. That said, it’s been years since I tried my hand at porcelain painting. It is too expensive — and I prefer other media, like watercolour or acrylics.
