 ### Graphical patterns on bowls: Here's how

We love plain and simple designs on porcelain. And we love them even more so when they're sooo easy to replicate. With the KREUL Glass & Porcelain Pen, we have the perfect tool at hand to draw precise patterns on cereal bowls. The design may look like a sophisticated pattern in Japanese style – but you can draw it on your bowl in hardly any time at all. We're happy to show you how with this step-by-step guide. Ready to upcycle some old bowls?
### Step 1: Draw on blue guide lines
The very first thing to do is to clean the porcelain bowls. Use ordinary washing-up liquid, without any additives, and wash the bowls by hand. We don’t recommend prewashing in a dishwasher as the rinsing agent can have a "lotus effect" and cause the paint to peel off.
Bowl all clean and ready to paint? Then shake the porcelain paint pen vigorously with its cap on for 1 to 2 minutes. For our graphical line pattern, we are using the Royal Blue colour from the KREUL Glass & Porcelain Pen Classic fine set of four pens. Gently press the top of the pen once or twice downwards. As soon as the tip has been filled with colour, start drawing. Use the KREUL Glass & Porcelain Pen to draw two lines on the top part of the cereal bowl.
### Step 2: Draw triangles on the bowl
The blue guidelines dry quickly, so you can start drawing triangles along the top line. The top of the triangles points upwards. Now repeat the process the other way around, that is draw triangles from the top line to the bottom line. The tip of the triangle points downwards and touches the bottom line. The result already looks very graphical, like little blue kites.
### Step 3: Continue drawing lines on the porcelain bowl
Our pattern of blue lines is almost finished. Use the KREUL Glass & Porcelain Pen to continue drawing the diagonal lines downwards. And if you want, you can draw new triangles. But we think it's super stylish to paint just the top white part of the bowl.
### Step 4: Fire on the drawn pattern
Leave the designs on the porcelain bowls to dry for around four hours. Then place the bowls in a cold, non-preheated oven and set the oven to the 160 °C top and bottom heat setting. Fire the pattern on for 90 minutes and leave the bowls to cool in the oven and the paint to harden. Then you can fill the bowl with some tasty cereal for your breakfast table.
And if you have caught the painting bug, paint more graphical line patterns on other bowls. What about a pattern in dashed lines? Or a wavy-line pattern? Have fun copying and trying out new patterns.
