Ingredients:
9,15 m watercolour paper (300 g / m²)
120 g cadmium red
74 g azure blue
96 g lemon yellow
59 g okra
25 g Parisian blue
1 bottle of drawing ink, indigo blue

1 roll of Washi paper
38 kg of stone
wareglazing according to taste
1 cup of coffee with milk + a piece of chocolate
4 conversations
300 g of inspiration
1 sack of plaster
Preparation: Take a piece of watercolour paper. Place in a water bath and let the water be absorbed. Take the paper out of the water and let the excess water drain out. Take a brush of a desired size, dip it into the water and then into colour. Run the brush over the paper as you reflect on what the picture will be about. For example, a face with a pair of lively eyes, a crooked nose and a sad mouth. Take a pinch of inspiration and continue.
Make some coffee and invite someone to come over for a chat. Eat a piece of chocolate.
Take some of the clay and mould it into a hand that touches a cheek.
Let dry.
Bake in 1000°C. Let cool down. Make a new glazing according to your own taste. Bake again, but raise the temperature to 1250°C.
