Painting terracotta pots - DIY Faux Aged Copper Patina Planters

[@NicoleSmithGardening]

The pots turned out beautiful! 🤩 I love the color matched with those pelorgoniums 💖

[@MonicaKatie]

Thanks so much! 😊 I've actually overwintered the pelogoniums as dormant bare roots for the last three years. Hoping to be able to overwinter again as I have not been able to find any in this same color.

@@MonicaKatie oh wow, that’s awesome!

[@GardeningOnTaylorMountain]

Wow, they turned out beautifully! Makes those geraniums pop! You did a great job explaining the process!

[@MonicaKatie]

Thanks so much 😊. Those geraniums are three years old. I keep overwintering them as bare roots. I lost a few so those are the last two. Haven't been able to find them in that color again.

Ok, that came out a lot better than I thought it would. I think the copper at the end was the perfect finishing touch. It almost looks like true old copper with verdigris. Not sure if I have all the same colors but will definitely give this a try.

Glad it provided inspiration. I just used whatever I had in my stash. I'm sure you can come up with a nice variation for your garden.

Thank you so much for sharing. How do you turn this ordinary terra-cotta pot into something fabulous thank you so much for sharing how you want about it and how beautiful it looks when you were down I watch this video from the beginning to the end I don’t wanna miss any of this process I have a Lobby containers in my garden and I wanted to see how you did. Hugs and kisses from grandma, Sandy and Debbie.

Thanks so much 😊

That is a nice technique. Those pots turned out really beautiful. I like the rustic look! Oh how I hate to paint! Even as an art major 5 1/2 decades ago, I hated to paint. That class was worse than art history for me lol. Now that I've been retired for five and a half years, besides gardening, I design and make whirligigs... for the most part. Ironically, I have to paint them! Go figure! Goes with the territory. Again, love the pots! Nice job. Take care!

[@MonicaKatie]

Thank you! Do you sell your whirligigs online? Would love to see them. I don't like painting things that require very precise nooks and cranny's. This type of painting is more my speed 😆. Thanks for stopping by. ❤

How did they hold up since it didn’t get a base primer? Do I HAVE to prime?

[@MonicaKatie]

They held up really well and I will be using them again this year. I did spray a protective coating so I think that helped.

[@tbaker2517]

Do you rinse the brush between colors?

[@MonicaKatie]

@@tbaker2517 I just swished it in a cup of water. Since the paint was watered down just a simple rinse seemed to do the trick.
