So, while wasting time on Instagram I found Natalie at My Vintage Porch created some concrete looking pots from some terracotta pots. I had a ton of pots, some newer that didn’t have any awesome patina…so, I thought I’d give it a whirl. You can watch my video HERE.
Here are some shots too… basically you add wood joint compound to your pots with a scraper. Let that dry and then use different colors of paint to create even more dimension. I found that I like the look best when I blended the paint colors while they were wet on the pot.

So the next to last photo is “wet” and the last styled photo is same pots fully “dry”?
Hi! Sorry I’m just seeing your question! Paint is dry in the last photos. I did A LOT of pots, so it could be that they look different due to being different pots in the last picture versus the one before that. It could also be the lighting!!
