Assuming right handed turner ...
I use the 45X45 method with my bowl gouges (fingernail grind)
1 Tool tip on centre line with toolrest as close to the blank as possible
2 Angle handle end of tool 45 deg away from your body
3 Drop handle end of tool 45 deg downward
4 Move the tool in until the bevel rubs the blank, gently twist tool anticlockwise until a very small section of the cutting edge starts to cut ... tooling must be 'scary sharp'
Others may use differing methods.Tim G-C

... and you have to advance the tool as you head for the centre.

Don't be tempted to go thin, it will split when it dries out. If you really want to go thin season it some more after removing most of the wood.
