POT PAINTING USING SHILPKAR AND ENAMEL PAINTS
‘Shilpkar’ is a product of ‘Fevicry’ Hobby Ideas. It is like
M-Seal. That is, it has e components which are supposed to be mixed to get clay
like substance which could be moulded into desired shape. It can harden in 5-6
hours. This is perfect for pottery designing. We can create ethnic, antique,
modern designs which could be pasted on the pot without any glue. These are
some of the designs which I have made.
Water Painting
also called marble painting is done with the help of paints which are insoluble
in water.
Marbling is the process of floating fabric paints on the surface of water,
somewhat like oil on water. The floating paints are swirled into patterns. Then
you capture your design by dipping the pot and rolling it on top of the paint
to transfer the swirls to the pot. It is that easy!
All
you have got to do is first decorate your pot with shilpkar designs and then
dip the pot into floating enamel paints.
You need –
·
A Pot
·
Enamel paints (2 colours)
·
Shilpkar (White M-seal)
·
A tub full of water
·
Acrylic paints
·
Brushes
·
Any Stick
·
Newspapers (To avoid mess)
·
Gloves (Optional)
Procedure –
First design your pot
with shilpkar. Then fill a tub full of water and pour 2-3 enamel paints into
water. You will notice that the enamel paints will float on top of water
surface. Then, swirl the water surface to create abstract patterns on water.
Then, slowly dip and roll the pot on the water surface to transfer the design
onto it. Let it dry for 48 hours and paint the remaining part of
pot with acrylic paints.
Your Designer pot is
ready!!!
