This pattern uses gouache paints but you could achieve a similar effect with the posca pens, firstly you'll need to paint a rough floral shape- think of a loose scalloped circle to give you your shape
Repeat across the vase making sure your leaves are all heading in different directions to give movement and balance to the pattern
Create calligraphy style vases with the posca pens, writing your word or phrases across the ceramic. Elongate your letters to get a calligraphy style.
