6x6 Tile Project

For this project, I decided to go with a Vincent Van Gogh interpretation of his painting of a wheat field. I really enjoy seeing all of the thick, layered colors throughout his painting, and wanted to work with my skills in underglazing, to capture those brilliant colors. I decided to engrave the figures of his painting into my tile, adding a textured feel with the different strokes and movements. I have finished my process of underglazing and adding the layers of clear glaze on top, so now I am waiting for the surprise to see my final tile.

I used the following underglazes: salmon, medium blue, avocado green, yellow, and brown.


My Vincent Van Gogh inspiration...


Here is the tile with the clear glaze dried on its surface...
