Go freehand with the painting on pottery
Painting on pottery ideas need not always be restricted to a certain form and shape. It is an equally charming idea to paint the pottery with freehand designs. If you still want symmetry in such paintings then divide the surface of the pottery into two halves. Paint the left side of the pot with your design (that is if you find this more difficult or else reverse the order) and then repeat the same design on the other half to get a nice finish to the design.

Then you can paint your design on this glossy finish that will act only as a transparent layer on the original color of the piece of pottery. This way you can paint the pottery piece while still ensuring that the original look of the pottery piece comes through.
