For storing different stuff like pickle, tamrind, kallu uppu
(rock salt) my mother used Bharani jar.My mother had a collection of big and
small type of Bharani jars. When my last visit to my mom's place; I brought few
jars from my Mothers home.
I wish to beautify one old jar with some sketches on
my own and one from already available on the net and added my own choice of
colors to the sketches and
showcase it near my open kitchen .
Wash the pot thoroughly. Allow the pot to dry completely
before painting.
Next, apply the base coat. I applied acrylic white as base
colour. Thin the paint with a small amount of water to make it easier to coat
the pot evenly.
Apply the paint with a foam brush, working around the pot in
broad sweeps. Extend the paint an inch or so down into the top of the pot, but
do not cover the bottom
Apply additional
coats if you’d like, allowing the pot to dry between coats, until the desired
color depth is achieved..
Draw l patterns and designs on the pot using a pencil or a
marker pen. I didn't use trace paper . I use pencil to draw then painted.
Paint the chosen designs using the acrylic colors.
Once the first coat is painted and dry, you can paint one
more coat. Since we are painting on a pot, two coats are desirable to ensure
the design is neat and even.
