#Paintbrush pottery how to#
The coming steps will show how to create a few different styles of aged vases. However, vintage pottery has layers and layers of patina to show off. Now, the pottery has all the texture of artisan pottery and could potentially be left alone. Comparatively, thicker layers allow for more distressing. The decision regarding how many layers to add is dependent on how much distressing I think I might do later. Once I allow the thick coating to dry completely, I add another coat or begin steps to make it look old. This mixture adheres remarkably well without primer.
As can be seen, I even used my fingers to dab a few run marks into vintage perfection. In some cases, I dabbed the brush to leave rough spots. Other times, moving with horizontal strokes looked best.
Sometimes the paintbrush worked vertically up and down the base. As I worked, I let myself get creative with how the texture lines went on. I slathered the concoction onto the vase. In this case, I used an old brush I had on hand for painting walls. In other words, adding more paint to the mixture will produce less texture while more baking soda will produce more texture.Īfter the paint and baking soda are mixed, the mixture is applied with a paintbrush. Then, I mixed baking soda with the paint until I got the desired thickness. For example, to paint the pottery black, I used black base paint. Before I begin, I pick paint colors for the base colors I desire. Chalk paint gives slightly less sheen in the result. In past projects, I’ve used chalk paint, house paint, and craft paint in this process. Strangely, it is surprisingly simple to do so. The first step in creating artisan pottery is covering up the dated color and patterns on the junked vessels. My favorite finds, for instance, are jugs, pottery with handles, and pieces with different shaped bodies. Specifically, search out pieces that have an old-world feel. To start the journey of DIY-aged pottery, look for nicely shaped subjects. When I cannot afford to buy, time to find a way to DIY. For this reason, I continue to buy affordable pieces when I find them. In contrast, stoneware is an earthy and chippy type of pottery. Made from clay, it reflects the colors of the soil. Earthenware is delicate and brittle with a porous and chalky surface. Each piece has unique artistry and charm I adore. I have a hack that produces a similar look for less.Īuthentic earthenware and stoneware pieces decorate my home because I love their earthy, classic look and feel. Those who crave changes in decor as often as I do may find the price too high. No wonder people will pay high prices to collect it. The earthy and organic colors and textures of pottery bring natural beauty to our homes.
