The plaster flakes off as the dry brush applies the paint! Well I had to make it work because I was determined to get it to!!! lol lol lol\u00a0 I used\u00a0 black for the base on it all and it took one more coat than it should have.\u00a0 Then I used gray and blue on the stones and that went without too much problem.\u00a0 Then I used purple and gray on the cat.\u00a0 This was where it really started to have problems. Just the pressure of the dry brushing made the black come off in a lot of places. I just kept going and came back in with more gray or purple trying to cover the white spots.<\/p>\n<p>So it took a lot longer to do and more days of it sitting and then looking for fresh white spots but eventually this was the result!\u00a0 I like it now that it is done but will try to find ceramic in the future!!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-606 \" src=\"https:\/\/inspirlutions.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/cat-e1507044429805-300x274.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"455\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/inspirlutions.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/cat-e1507044429805-300x274.jpg 300w, https:\/\/inspirlutions.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/cat-e1507044429805.jpg 763w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 455px) 100vw, 455px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Lu<\/p>\n<div class=\"pld-like-dislike-wrap pld-template-2\">\r\n    <div class=\"pld-like-wrap  pld-common-wrap\">\r\n    <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" class=\"pld-like-trigger pld-like-dislike-trigger  \" title=\"\" data-post-id=\"576\" data-trigger-type=\"like\" data-restriction=\"cookie\" data-already-liked=\"0\">\r\n                        <i class=\"fas fa-heart\"><\/i>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n    <span class=\"pld-like-count-wrap pld-count-wrap\">0    <\/span>\r\n<\/div><div class=\"pld-dislike-wrap  pld-common-wrap\">\r\n    <a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" class=\"pld-dislike-trigger pld-like-dislike-trigger  \" title=\"\" data-post-id=\"576\" data-trigger-type=\"dislike\" data-restriction=\"cookie\" data-already-liked=\"0\">\r\n                        <i class=\"fa fa-heartbeat\"><\/i>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n    <span class=\"pld-dislike-count-wrap pld-count-wrap\">0<\/span>\r\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I really like to paint ceramics and dry brushing is my favorite technique.\u00a0 Sometimes it is hard to find things that have the detail to paint.\u00a0 I saw this cat in the store and it was 50% off!\u00a0 Well you know I love a deal!\u00a0 Only one problem, it is plaster and not ceramic.\u00a0 &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/inspirlutions.com\/wp\/2017\/11\/21\/halloween-cat\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Halloween Cat<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[217,76],"tags":[79,98],"class_list":["post-576","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ceramic","category-halloween","tag-halloween","tag-happy-halloween"],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspirlutions.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspirlutions.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspirlutions.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspirlutions.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspirlutions.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=576"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/inspirlutions.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":621,"href":"https:\/\/inspirlutions.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576\/revisions\/621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/inspirlutions.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspirlutions.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/inspirlutions.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
