Description :

A terracotta plate adorned with an intricate ikat design in a palette of vibrant blue hues. The earthy tones of the terracotta complement the cool blues of the ikat pattern, creating a visually striking and sophisticated piece.

STEP 1 : Prepare the Terracotta Plate
  • Clean the terracotta plate to remove any dust or dirt.
  •  If desired, apply a base coat of Fevicryl Acrylic Colours White to create a neutral background for your design.
  •  Allow it to dry completely.
STEP 2 : Draw and trace the Ikat Design
  • Take A3 white paper, draw the ikat pattern on it using a pencil.
  • Traditional ikat designs often feature repeating geometric shapes, zigzags, and lines that mimic woven fabric.
  • You can look at ikat fabric samples for inspiration.
  •  Trace the design of your ikat hatching pattern on the plate with white carbon paper.
  • Start painting the design using Fevicryl Acrylic Colours Black 02, Chrome Yellow 03, Crimson 04, Orange 17, Prussian Blue 19, White 27 and Sky Blue 63.
  • Let it dry.
STEP 3 : Finishing touches
  • Take zero number brush for the detailing to create the hatching pattern in design.
  • Let it dry.
STEP 4 : Final Look
  • Once the paint is completely dry, apply a sealant or varnish to protect your design and give it a polished finish if needed.
  • Your terracotta plate with a beautiful ikat-inspired design is now ready to be displayed or used as a decorative piece!
