Crockery Designs

Crockery designs from the past inspired this watercolour painting project. Our cupboards are filled with these intricate, stylised, floral designs, and they make a good model for watercolour practice.

You will need:

~ A4 card/watercolour paper

~ Watercolour or ink

~ Paintbrush

~ Pencil and rubber

~ Black fine-liner

~ Your favourite bit of crockery

1. First draw a rough sketch of your design.
2. When you’re happy with how it looks, you can start applying your watercolour or ink.
3. When it’s dry, you can draw some the outlines with a fine-liner.
4. It can make a lovely card on a half A4 card folded into two.
