3. Decoration of the vase.
The decor of your vases depends only on your imagination. We offer ready-made vase cover designs using conventional gouache. Why gouache, watercolors instead? It’s simple. Watercolors give a softer image as a transparent watercolors. A gouache has a dense texture, which gives a bright and clear image.
It is important to determine what you want to apply pattern, and if you want to apply it only on the outside or on the outer and on the inner side. Drawing better pre-apply a pencil. And then draw the outline of it with a fine brush and gouache. Drawing will dry about 1-2chasov.

Glossy paint will look great on the finished product. If you plan to use a bowl of food, the varnish to be found in stores for creativity. If your vase in contact with food will not be, a universal approach and an ordinary nail polish which you can buy at the hardware store (in addition, a nail will be much cheaper). Cover the finished product with varnish on all sides and leave in a ventilated area for 5 hours to completely dry.
