By Mark Bell


Decorating your pot is fun and exciting. You do not only plant, but also you enjoyed customizing it according to your desired decorations. It does not require a specific professional skill to be creative. Ordinary creativity is enough. Here are some interesting things about 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 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.

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.

One suggestion is to paint the day sky with the matching color of sunset. It does not have to be concretely drawn, but abstract painting would do. Painting the night sky is takes you to another level. You can use color sprays to emphasize the abstract style and blend it properly with the dark colors.

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 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.
