3 Ways to Decorate Vases

You can either work on to the glass vases as they are on you can add a background colour by spraying with a coloured spray paint to give you a base.

Alternatively you could pour paint into the glass vase and leave to dry.

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.

Thicken up your 'downward' strokes by adding another line very close to them, this will also help create a more calligraphy style lettering by having a contrast in the stroke thickness's.

With your posca pen you can letter your phrases across the bucket, for a calligraphy style lettering try to elongate letters, and lengthen the space between them as you write.
