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 family friend, Hannah, is a retired woman. Her hobby is rearranging and decorating the furniture in her house to make it look fresher. She is particular about the blending of the colors in her living area because she easily notices color imbalance and dullness. Since her family is not around, she manages to do things that might make her more productive.

One time, she decides to plant a flower garden in front of her house to lessen her idle hours. So, she brought me with her to shop for pots of different sizes and shapes. However, she had a hard time customizing these objects that would make them look more interesting. She does not have any idea on how to start. So, she did some research on some simple and achievable pottery art ideas.

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.

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.

She soaked it with hot water for easier removal of the price tag and dust. This is to achieve a smoother surface. Next is to wait for a few minutes to dry it up. After that, she started applying the base color. She also discovered that abstract painting is easier to do. She tried painting the day sky.

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.

Another unique suggestion is to demonstrate the beauty of the night sky. She applied the base color of dark blue on the second pot. After drying it off, she blended it with light blue and gray and added the stars and moon. Silver and white are perfect color for the galactic images since it contrasts with the dark background. Achieving a good art needs your patience and effort. Learn how to think beyond the box.

This activity will take away your boredom. Aside from being challenging, it is also worth your time and money. It would not only beautify your house, but it also teaches you on how to unlock your inner artist. This achievement of yours is worth bragging. I wish you good luck on your newly decorated garden.
