• Pebeo Porcelaine 150 Paint - ******* Blue#21
• Pebeo Porcelaine 150 Paint pen - ******* Blue#21
• wide paint brush

Step 1

Using the wide paint brush, paint a band around the base of mug to the width of the brush. To obtain a smooth brush stroke, paint in one continuous stroke. Allow to touch dry. Using paint pen draw flower outline shapes over the painted band around mug. When finished set mug aside to dry.

Handy Hint

Use a dry brush with Porcelaine paint, as any water in this paint will stop it from setting properly and it will stay tacky after baking.
