Preparation for work

Before the beginning of painting it is necessary to prepare a wall - a basis, "canvas", on which a painting will appear. The wall should be very smooth and smooth, without cracks and small flaws. Briefly describe the sequence of preparation of the wall. First, the old coating, paint, plaster or lime is cleaned from it. After that, all cracks are filled with putty on gypsum base. All irregularities are sanded with sandpaper. Then apply a layer of leveling putty, after drying, the wall is once again skinned, and then a layer of finishing putty is applied. Before applying each layer, the wall is treated with a primer for better adhesion of the layers. After the wall is perfectly even, a layer of acrylic primer is applied , which will become the basis for applying the painting. So, absolutely smooth, snow-white wall is prepared for further work.

Drawing an image on a wall

Draw first need to draw on paper. Then move it to the wall, increasing the image to the desired value. There is another, simpler way. Find a slide with the story you like. Project it on the wall with a diaprojector and circle the contours of the picture with a pencil or charcoal. Now you can start working with paints. Paints are applied with brushes with natural bristles. Large volumes can be painted over using a sponge or just a clean cloth. First draw a background and large shapes. Paints are mixed on a palette, achieving the necessary shades and color densities. To make the drawing realistic and volume create light and shade, using smooth transitions of shades of color. After working through the basic details, proceed to the smaller ones, carefully drawing all the elements.

The finished drawing is covered with a protective acrylic lacquer that will protect the image from various damages and moisture. The varnish is applied with a soft brush in one direction. After coating the entire wall with varnish, it is spread out with a dry brush.

To make a wall painting with your own hands, using acrylic paints, is not very difficult, especially for those who have artistic abilities and are able to draw. It is possible to use ready-made stencils for wall painting, supplementing the drawing with small elements at will.

Wall painting by own hands is a monumental art form, which requires quite a lot of physical and time costs. If the soul asks for inspiration, I want to do some original creativity and attach children to it, then you can advise painting on the stone.

Painting on stone

Resting on the sea or near a river, pay attention to large smooth and smooth "pebbles", lying along the shore and now and then come across under your feet. This is a wonderful material for creativity.

We take such an even and smooth pebble. Degrease its surface with alcohol or acetone and primer with acrylic primer, or water diluted with PVA glue. Then, with a pencil, apply any drawing, draw all the details with acrylic paints and varnish. The work is ready. Painted with stones large enough to decorate the interior. Subjects for painting can be very different. You can turn to inspiration for traditional folk crafts, whose amazing fantastic themes attract their brightness, originality and simplicity of execution. For example, the Severodvinsk painting uses the traditional folk symbols - the bird Sirin, the tree of life, the mermaid, the fiery red lion. Choosing and painting a separate element of the painting, you can create a very original creation.
