Really cool project! Very old school with the roses and swallows, but such a modern use of the themes.

Very cool. What kind of paint did you use? Did you prime it first?

I really like the job you did. If you post more of them I'd love to see a before picture too.

thanks again for all the love, y'all! as for paints, they are just standard little squeeze bottles of cheapo acrylics like you get for a buck-fifty at wally world in the craft section. no, i generally don't prime before i paint! HOWEVER! it is important to note that i always buy unfinished bisque/porcelain/resin to work with. if it has a shiny glaze on it, you can pack your paints up and use it for target practice, or turn it into a paperweight, cause you're never gonna get paint to stick to it! resin is tricky cause it is not porous (see the holy family i posted) so yeah, hitting it with a fine sandpaper to make the surface a bit "toothy" is a big help. otherwise, look for figurines in bisque that are either unpainted or only painted with acrylics already. i prefer them au naturel when i can get them....  this horsey, for instance, came home with me cause no one at the ceramics shop wanted him because he has a chip out of his ear. (look close at the white ear - see that divot? ) and count on doing multiple coats! i'd say that's the main trick to getting the solid rich colors is patience. i generally apply 2 to 6 coats of my base colors. once i get them nice and solid, i'll do one or two coats on the details and embellishments!

anyways, thanks again, and if y'all have any other questions, shoot!
