Hello lovely 💙 I’m happy to find another Portuguese artist! I was hoping to ask about creating azulejos, what do you do to the tiles before painting on them? What kind of paint do you use? What do you do to the tiles after you painted on them? Your ones turned out quite lovely, so I hoped to ask:—) thank you! 💙
Hi! Yay Portuguese people! c:
I painted on my tiles in a really lovely small shop called “Azulejos de Azeitão”. They prepare the tiles for you and provide the inks (and once you’re done they “bake”/finish the tiles for you). I remember using a sort of colored powder in water to draw with by using brushes. They are happy to let you be in their workshop for a while as you paint on them. I do recommend them they are always really friendly and everything is hand-made! c:
Unfortunately I don’t know any more details about the process as they prepared everything for me ^^’ I think they turn their oven on once or twice a week and would put your art next to the other tiles, then you can pick it up. I hope this helps
