I painted this little terracotta pot some 15 years ago :) yup it will soon be a vintage item now ! i was studding back then and pot painting became my hobby for a while .This vase is one of many pots that i painted and it still is with me :) rest of them were given to friends and relatives as gifts, if i saw them ever i will definitely share them with you all
I drew a free hand floral design with a pencil and then painted it with simple poster paints ! shades of brown are used with a out line of darker tone ,the out line is drawn with a zero size brush .The mistake i committed was that i never coated it with clear varnish because of which the white back ground developed a bit shabby look over the time, which as a matter of fact i like now :) again a mistake that turned out great (the regular readers of my blog will under stand what i am talking about for the newbies click hear)
a bit more detailed look of the floral design and my camera just could not bare the beauty so it took a blurred pic :(
by the way now i have sprayed it with clear lacquer spray to save the shabby look from turning into a dirty look :)
WOW, it is stunning, love it !! There is something about painting in general that i just love, maybe the dirty fingers......lol
ReplyDeletelotsa luv

ReplyDeleteIts beautiful & yes I think not varnishing it has added to its character. My friend has just started her own business in paint a pot partys & I am having a party for the kids (& me yes) I am so looking forward to it & your pot is great inspiration
ReplyDeleteAwesome free hand there... love the rustic colours and the flowers are to die for... such a great job.
ReplyDeleteSorry Iram, I have not been able to post your bracelet... just been so caught up as my hubby and little one have not been well.

Painting in China has a long history of evolution and refinement, one that is entirely unique comparing to the other ways of painting humanity has ever developed. The major element of traditional Chinese painting was nature motif, and a work itself was an attempt to capture a feeling, or an immediate response, not an image. Such attitude toward art gave Chinese painting a mainly expressive character in both of its materials and techniques.
