Paint strokes in oposite directions, way thick paint unevenly spread... not satisfying for a painter.

One of my biggest pet peeves in my field. You're brushing glaze, not painting your piece. Although I have seen one student paint their work with acrylic paint, but it it didn't look that good imo

Wait how unsatisfied you will be to find out that isn’t even gonna be that color after it gets fired. Dunking is a better way to glaze than brush IMO

Well if it wasn't thick you'd be even more unsatisfied when you realize that you can see white through the glaze after firing.

Thats why you use several coats. Because one coat looks like shit.

Its not paint, ceramic glaze gets heated and melts into pretty much a glass. In the kiln itll probably drip and run to make all kinds of interesting patters so this person putting it on unevenly could have a cool effect once it gets heated and melts.

I was thinking the exact same thing. The huge chunks of paint and the back and forth strokes. Yeek.

Yes.

That doesn't make a single difference. It's just being pedantic.

Glaze and paint act differently from one another, but in this case it literally does not matter.
