It’s easy to create a fabulous faux stone effect herb pot with a little bit of help from Resene.
Resene art with Mark Rayner – Project 114
Difficulty level: Moderate
To get the look: Mark painted the background shed door with Resene Lustacryl tinted to Resene Red Oxide.
Other ideas: For a subtle green effect use a combination of Resene Rainee and Resene Spanish Green over a basecoat of Resene Half Forest Green.
Step one
Carefully stir the Resene Aquapel & Terracotta Sealer.
Step two
Apply one coat of Resene Aquapel & Terracotta Sealer to the terracotta pot and allow to dry.
Step three
Carefully stir the Resene Sandtex Mediterranean effect.
Step four
Apply one coat of Resene Sandtex Mediterranean effect to the outside, top and inner rim of the terracotta pot, dabbing to create a textured surface. Allow to dry.
Step five
Apply two coats of Resene Tuna to the outside, top and inner rim of the terracotta pot, allowing two hours for each coat to dry.
Step six
Using a small piece of damp sponge, carefully dab a layer of Resene Half Tuna to the outside, top and inner rim of the terracotta pot, allowing some of the base colour to show through.
Step seven
Before this dries, carefully dab a little Resene Surrender to the outside, top and inner rim of the terracotta pot, mixing in a little more Resene Half Tuna if necessary. Allow to dry.
Step eight
Fill the pot with good quality potting mix and plant it up with a small herb.
