On an unglazed pot you can certainly use poster paint. Some of the base color of the pot itself might show through, so you might have to let the poster paint dry to add more color if you want it brighter.





Once you're done, if you want to help the paint stay permanent on the flower pot, let the paint dry completely and then glaze it with an acrylic varnish (also water based for easy clean-up). You can usually find this kind of acrylic medium at your local art or craft stores, not just at art supply places online.





I did this for a mother's day gift for my Mom and she still uses the flower pot 6 years later and the colors have faded a little from the sun but it just looks cool and kind of aged naturally. Very pretty.

Because poster pain is non-toxic.





If you are painting a terracotta (orange clay) pot your first layer of paint may be absorbed. This is why you want to use a non-toxic paint, so it won't kill or sicken your plant.





One thing I have heard to do is to paint the entire clay pot one base color and allow to dry, then you have a kind of primer on the pot. Now when fully dry you can paint it with the other colors and designs you want with much less absorption.





Martha Stewart says to paint your clay pots with a 50/50 mix of mayonnaise and water. Then when it dries it gives the pot a green patina that simulates old age. This would only be if you are looking for that effect instead of actual paint.





If you are painting a ceramic or non-porous pot you can use any type of pain you want, just don't paint the inside of the pot.
poster paint is water based, if you need to thin it, use water.


it'll be ok for painting a non glazed flowerpot but might need a couple coats because your pot will be porus. thin down your first coat then put a normal coat on next if needed!


happy easter.
First get a good terracotta mixing salmon and burnt sienna, then whilst the paint is still wet on the canvas, dust with talcum powder and when dry blow off excess, it will give that chalky look your after.
You mix poster paint with some PVA glue. This will make it have a glossy appearance and helps to seal the paint.
