Surface Preparation: The terracotta object (such as pots, plates, or wall hangings) is cleaned and primed with a base coat to ensure smoothness.
2. Sketching: A design is lightly drawn on the surface using a pencil or chalk. Traditional motifs include tribal patterns, floral designs, mythological figures, or geometric shapes.
3. Painting: Artists use acrylic or oil paints to bring the sketch to life, often incorporating earthy tones, gold, and metallic highlights.
4. Detailing & Finishing: Fine brushes or tools are used for intricate detailing. The artwork may be sealed with varnish for durability.
