Interesting Things About Pottery Painting

By Mark Bell


One of the simplest activities to kill boredom is decorating your flower pots. It is one way to unlock your potential artist and become the creative version of yourself. Instead of painting on a plain sheet of paper, try doing something new. Let us learn some ways to achieve beautiful pottery painting IL.

My friend, Lucy, is a housewife. When her husband is not around, she loves to customize her home. She spends most of the time redecorating the curtains and rearranging the furniture. Most things that she own are made of recycled materials. Her creativity killed her boredom at home.

One day, she plans to transform her garage into a flower garden. She decided to bring my mother with her while she buys the materials needed in planting bushes, flowers and trees. Since she is already old, and is not capable of doing things a young woman usually does, she asked my mother to paint her pots.

So, my cousin advised her to look for inspiration before coming up with a few drafts. She could seek inspiration from the people around her, the environment and the beautiful places she had been to. These will serve as her basic guideline in becoming more creative.

My cousin told her, that to avoid monotony, it is not advisable to paint the pot green or any shades of green unless she would want her pot to appear like a part of a plant. A green pot takes away the variety of the painting and is boring to look at since it only blends with the leaves. You may use green if you planted red and pink flowers on it.

Do not forget to clear your pot from dirt to make the painting process smoother and cleaner. You make soak it in warm water and scrub it gently with a hard brush. Let the whole surface of the pot dry before starting to apply paint. Next, cover it with base coat before applying the other shades. Otherwise, it would look messy.

At first, she applied a base color of white, followed by the combination of yellow, orange and blue. Proper brush stroking must be learned. This skill is achieved through practice. Doing abstract painting appears more artistic than the concrete images. Just make sure to do it smoothly and correctly.

Use paint brush to draw the silver moon and stars. You can also use plain white to add a contrasting effect on the dark background. Be reminded to use acrylic paint to prevent the colors from easily being washed off when it rains. Also prepare different brush sizes since you will have to draw a variety of shapes.

Your inspiration is available anywhere like the natural environment, the awesome places you have been to, and the famous traditional pieces of art. This unique activity will heal your boredom. Aside from discovering your new career, it teaches you how to be naturally artistic. Beautifying your backyard will surely amaze your visitors and neighbors. Thus, act now and make it real.
