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 decided to grow a garden in her backyard so that she would have something to do every morning. She brought my cousin with her to buy some plain pots and as expected, she wants to decorate them. However, she has no idea about the right designs. She could order her kids to paint random stuff on them but it would just mess up her work.

She learned that, that to avoid being monotonous, color green should be the last option. Green or any shades of green suggests sameness and monotony of the colors unless you want the pot to appear like it is part of your plant leaves. If your flowers are colorful enough to outshine the dullness of the pot, then neutral colors would be fine.

Before starting to paint, never forget to wash away dirt and price tags from your pot in order to achieve a smoother process. You can soak it in warm water to easily remove the dirt. After that, spare some minutes to dry it off before applying the acrylic paint. Next is the application of base color. Make sure to cover all the corners of the pot.

A unique suggestion is painting your pot with the shades of day sky. You do not have to draw concrete objects. A sky is an easy image to start learning abstract painting. You can add yellow and orange to represent the sunset. Abstract painting would also look good.

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.

This kind of activity is fun and worth your time. During your free time, take a look on some example images that give you a hint for better themes. If you want to free yourself from stress and divert your attention at least once in a while, this activity will help you relax and enjoy planting more than you usually do.
