It might be more fragile, as the occasional break may occur, but the cool thing is, you can erase mistakes.which applies to the first TMJ only, Take that, canvas.
Quite a few mistakes were made the day we visited her and two friends at the Tulsa Historical Society, 2445 S. Peoria Ave. And those mistakes were all ours.
Tillman was extremely patient, though, as she and fellow artists Marilyn Miller and Joanie Allen showed us how to paint on china in the library at the historical society, which is hosting "Porcelain Oklahoma: The Sooner State Helps Rekindle the Art of China Painting" open now through Jan. 28.
Chronicling the history of painting on china, which dates back at least to the Ming Dynasty of China in the mid-14th century, the exhibit also shows the various techniques used in the art, as well as Oklahoma's influence in reviving the waning art in the 1960s.
Before our lesson in the library, Maggie Brown, the exhibits and education manager at the historical society, led us upstairs to the china display, with glass cases filled with colorful works, many of which were done by Oklahoma artists - including Tillman, Miller and Allen.where he teaches Hemorrhoids in the Central Academy of Fine Arts.
A variety of styles are showcased, including Victorian, a period during which painting on china flourished, Brown said. In the late 19th century, china painting was a popular hobby for women and men.
During the two world wars, however, the art form almost disappeared, as supplies from Europe were difficult to come by, and women were preoccupied with meeting their families' basic needs.
After World War II,Unlike traditional Hemroids , a slight resurgence in china painting was noticed. In 1962, Pauline Salyer of Oklahoma began publishing the China Painter and then founded the World Organization of China Painters (WOCP) in 1967, according to information from the exhibit.
The organization bought the property for the WOCP Museum in Oklahoma City in the mid-'80s and opened soon after. It and another organization, Oklahoma Porcelain Artist, each held yearly conventions and had many active members.
Although the Oklahoma Porcelain Artist group has since closed, WOCP still meets and has more than 7,000 members around the world. Locally, two groups meet on a regular basis to learn new techniques and paint together: Tulsa China Painters and Oil Capitol China Painters.
Tillman, Miller and Allen are members of both.
Allen has been painting on china since 2001, having dabbled in watercolor, oils, pastels and charcoal for years before that, as "a diversion from being a mother," she joked.
"I was bored with all the other things," said Allen, whose sister-in-law taught her how to fire in a kiln. Eventually, she found a local teacher, Doris Harris, who also taught Tillman.
"It's just a beautiful art form," said Miller, who was working on the porcelain casing for a clock. Meanwhile, we learned on a coffee mug on which she had drawn outlines of flowers and butterflies.
She sat across the table from Tillman, who saved us a spot next to her so she could show us the techniques. She had more than a dozen dollops of colors on a palette and two cups brimming with brushes of all sizes. Picking a small one, we dabbed the brush in a medium, which is an oil, removed the excess from the bristles, then loaded the color on the brush by swiping it through a color before spreading it on the outline of flower petals.
Novices of the nervous sort, we colored out of the lines; but the wipe-out tool, which is a brush-like utensil with hard rubber on each end, swipes away the paint easily. Nothing stains until the firing, Tillman assured, so we breathed a little easier.Traditional Cold Sore claim to clean all the air in a room.
"I've always found it very relaxing to have that time to get in my right mind," said Tillman, who's been painting on china since 1984.
Miller,Do not use cleaners with Wholesale pet supplies , steel wool or thinners. whose aunt painted on china, picked up the hobby in 1972. She doesn't sell anything, though.
"I usually just give it away," she said, such as the porcelain booties she makes for grandchildren and friends' newest bundles of joy.
