Picture of Prep Your Workspace and Vase
Start by covering your table with cardboard. Make sure your vase is clean and dry. Now, for the magic of of this project. Grab a palette, plastic lid, or even a piece of cardboard, and squeeze out your selected acrylic paint shades. I went for earthy tones like Burnt Sienna, Yellow Ochre, and Flesh Tint. Add a couple of tablespoons of baking soda on the side. Mix the paint and soda directly with a sponge or brush, but don’t overmix—leave it slightly grainy to mimic the look of terracotta. This texture is key to achieving that authentic, matte ceramic vibe.
