I’m not one of those
‘expressive’ artist. I am not an art student nor gone to art classes. I think
my creativity levels heighten when I'm stressed
or depressed. ... Instead I try to do other things besides paint/draw that can
still be I always have such pretty images in my head that I would love to put
down on paper. A self taught artist, who doesn't restrict herself to one
single medium and paints on just about anything .She has transformed mundane
things like tea kettles, buckets, plates and even a e chair into pieces
of art.
Colourful and Quirky Kettles look very stunning and catch
ones attention almost immediately . This is my first attempt in Kettle Painting.
I love Music. so this what draws me into describing my love towards Music. Through
painting musical instruments I wanted to communicate a thought, a feeling, a
metaphor — without worrying about the rules of painting in a manner of speaking.
I hope that like good music you like My
painting. I used Acrylic colours and brush pens for painting.
How to paint?
You will need:
Steel/tin/ceramic kettles
Acrylic paint
Brushes
Waste cloth
Stencils (optional)
1. Wash kettles with soap and water and leave them out to
dry in the sun. Start your project only when they are completely dry.
2. If you want a base colour for your kettles, take a fat
brush and paint a base coat in the colour of your choice. Once dry, paint
another coat with the same colour. Dry thoroughly.
3. You could use a contrasting colour for the handles or
paint it in the same colour.
4. Choose a design of your choice and draw the designs on
the kettle with a pencil and then paint on it.
