Light Blue Ombre Flower Pot Painting

Light Blue Ombre Flower Pot Painting

I love ombre painting. Ombre paint isn't a specific type of paint, but rather a technique used to achieve a visually stunning effect where one color gradually transitions into another. It creates a beautiful, blended gradient look, reminiscent of sunsets, sunrises, or even rainbows. I want to try an ombre blue wall next since this planter is so cute and my ombre dresser was such a hit. We hope that this Light Blue Ombre Flower Pot Painting post inspires you.

Concept of Ombre Painting

• Imagine two (or more) contrasting colors smoothly melting into each other, with no harsh lines or sudden shifts. That's the essence of ombre painting.

Light Blue Ombre Flower Pot Painting

Materials

• Terra-cotta pot (I used a 4.3″)
• Martha Stewart's all-purpose paints in Pond High Gloss and Wedding Cake Satin
• Small 1″ foam paintbrush
• Paper plate
• Succulent/cactus soil
• Succulent plant

Directions

On a paper plate, squeeze your paint in the following ratios to create your ombré colors:

• blue 1
• white 1
• blue to white 1:2
• blue to white 1:3
• blue to white 1:4
• blue to white 1:5

Starting at the top of your pot, paint the top 1/6 white around your pot.

Below your white, paint the next 6th of your pot the next lightest color of blue all the way around, and so on until you end with just your blue paint on the very bottom of your pot.

Let your terra-cotta pot dry (about 15 minutes) then paint a second coat just like you did your first.

Let your second coat dry, and fill your pot up the the top with your soil.

Dig a small hole in the center of your soil to replant your succulent.

Press the plant into your hole and add a little more soil on the top of the pot, then press the soil down with your hands.

Ombre paint is a fascinating and versatile technique that allows you to add vibrant dimension and personality to your surroundings. If you're looking for a creative way to elevate your space, consider giving ombre a try! We hope that this Light Blue Ombre Flower Pot Painting post inspires you. Happy crafting!
