How to Paint Clay Dolphin Sculpture

JORGE BENLLOCH: Okay. Before putting in the final board, we are going to paint these three dolphins but before, we are going to coat it with a crystal clear enamel in order to reinforce all the figurines and to give special protection. Also, it covers all the coarseness and all the imperfections. And this has to be done in a very ventilated area, outside and also wearing a mask if there is not enough ventilation. Never inside and never close to the open flame, okay? That's flammable. Okay. Now, we're going to let it dry, almost between one--half an hour, one hour, 45 minutes, and later we are going to put two coats of color, one like blackish and another one blueish, and let's see how it ends. Thank you. We are going to use this color black in order to make the upper part of the dolphin. Okay. Then, we are going to let it dry for a few minutes and then we are going to add the blue, okay. And that's it. Now, we are going to let it dry and now we're going to mount on top of the board.
