One day I decided to paint a plate, for which I had already used stained glass paints. However, this time it was decided to do a brilliant painting, for this I decided to try multi-colored glitters and permanent markers.
1. I took such a sample, using the GIMP program I selected the contours and erased the center
and this is what happened:
I glued each of the parts on the outer surface with tape.
3. It would be very boring to make an ornament in one color, so I decided to paint the plate in three colors: blue, red and green. First, I drew a pattern on the paper with a permanent marker, then on a plate and applied glitter on top. The markers were the cheapest M-Union, so there was no complete coloring of the pattern, it became translucent, and that’s all I wanted - the glitter glittered through the pattern! I applied glitter and the result was this ornament:
4. Now it’s the turn of the inner pattern! Since the original pattern of three colors seemed rather banal and boring to me, it was decided to make an internal pattern from one element: in the same GIMP program I reflected and copied the element, combined it and flattened it a little, and then selected the edge, like this:
5. I also printed it out and painted it in three colors, then placed it on the inside of the plate and traced it with permanent markers and glitter along the top.
6. Finally, I found that the edges of the design looked a little blurry, so I outlined with a sharper, thinner (important for outlining) black Centropen marker.

Easy lesson
It is better to paint plates in any style with acrylic paints, since they are the most resistant to external influences - water, sunlight, dust. In addition, they are convenient to work with, since their consistency resembles gouache and does not require additional thinning agents or special brushes (for example, compared to oil and tempera).
To fix the paint and maintain brightness for a long time, it is recommended to coat the top of the finished product with a special colorless acrylic varnish.
Painting a ceramic plate can be done using different techniques, it all depends on the skills, imagination and desire of the author.
Beginners and unconfident craftsmen are recommended to use stencils to accurately apply patterns. They can be downloaded, printed and cut out, or purchased from craft stores. Painting using this technique can be done either with paints using a brush or a cotton swab, or with a special marker.
This technique is well suited for children, as it does not require special drawing skills. All that is needed is to fix the stencil picture on the plate, for example, with tape, and paint over the “empty” places.
A simple but elegant dot painting is done with contour paints, which are sold in tubes and do not require dilution. The tubes are equipped with spouts, which makes the job of applying dots and fine lines much easier.
For painting using dot technique you will need:
- plain ceramic plate (preferably white);
- degreasing agent (alcohol, nail polish remover);
- contour paints;
- sample;
- carbon paper or soft pencil;
- brushes;
- palette;
- acrylic lacquer.
Progress:
- Wipe the plate with alcohol or another product. You can use a cotton pad for this;
- Using carbon paper, transfer the design onto the dishes. To do this, combine it with carbon paper, secure it on a plate and trace the lines with a pencil. You can also make a homemade carbon copy by painting over reverse side drawing;
- Pressing on the tube, apply a contour at equal distances. Their diameter depends on the pressure applied. As a rule, large points are made on the main lines (large parts) first, and then small ones. The result should be patterned “lines” consisting of dots;
- After the pattern is completed, the product must be dried naturally for 24 hours. If desired, the finished painted plate can be varnished.
Both ceramics and glass are well suited for such painting. You can first paint the plate with paints, make a background or draw a plot picture, and then additionally process the lines with contour paints, highlighting the necessary details.
It is more convenient to secure the design on a glass plate with tape on the outside or inside, depending on the purpose of the dish.
If the plate is going to be used as a decoration, then the side where the paint is applied does not matter. To use the plate for its intended purpose, it is better to apply paint from the outside and fix the picture from the inside.
Wooden plates are also painted with acrylic and then varnished. As a rule, people do not eat from such dishes, so they can become an excellent wall decoration, and can also be used for fruit (painted wooden dishes).
Perhaps many people associate wooden dishes– plates and spoons – with folk painting, for example, with Khokhloma or Gorodets. Mastering folk painting is not difficult. The main thing is to understand the basic principle of each painting, its “zest”.
