You might be interested in Lucy Rie. Not a wood turner, but a master potter.

Might be worth doing one that's natural inside - could be a lovely contrast

Very nice. I'm always looking at different ways for colouring wood. It would be nice if you say what you used to colour each piece. I'm sure you'll get ten people giving eleven suggestions of what to use to colour wood on-the-cheap.

This experiment was a combination of cheap Acrylic paint mixed into a product we have in Europe that is used on porous wood, it absorbs well into the project....the big tin is cheap...£5 as is the paint

With that sealer/primer being water based I would imagine there's all sorts of media you could mix in with it. Powdered dyes like wood dyes and clothing dyes, mica powders (eye make-up powder is a cheap source). Stewart Furini has a very good woodturning YouTube channel where he is always experimenting with colouring his bowls. I'll keep my eye out for more of your work.
