 Hand-painted tiles surround sink, Hawaiian watercolor artist Patrice Pendarvis 
  The decoration of porcelain and low fired ceramic ware with china paint colors is an ancient art going back to the Sung dynasty, AD 960-1272. The china paints of today are designed to fire at 1300 degrees Fahrenheit.
    I use paints that are carefully selected and milled and the finest oils to produce a line of prepared colors. I also mix my own colors by using a powder that is mixed with oil-based mediums to create the desired colors.

Hand-painted tiles by Patrice Pendarvis, example of use on backsplash in bathroom and as bath decor.     China paint may be applied to any glazed surface or porcelain bisque. The colors give a soft antique effect, with a watercolor -like delicacy. Special effects are possible by blending the colors and by using specific brush strokes. A very desirable translucent effect can be achieved by applying light colors, firing, then applying successively darker colors between successive firings.
    Some pieces take four or more firings. Each firing takes three hours building up to the proper temperature, then six to eight hours to cool before removable from the kiln.
    Properly installed, the art work will last indefinitely with minimal care. Each piece is individually created for the homeowner. Works have been used as counter tops or backsplashes in both kitchens and baths, as trivets, table tops, vases or wall hangings.
