It is better to put any thoughts and sketches in a separate notebook - they can come in handy when creating a picture. Think about where the future work will hang - in the living room, kitchen, bedroom.

stencils

With the help of paint in a can, it is easy to apply an image through a stencil. As a basis for the picture, it is better to take plywood or very thick cardboard. The background paint should be different in color and effect from the color of the picture. For example, colored patterns on a gold or silver field look original. You can make several pictures of the same size and arrange them into a single work like modular paintings that will decorate the wall in the living room.

Advice! Instead of paper stencils, use dried leaves and interestingly shaped herbs.

Finally, it is worth noting that when choosing a frame for a masterpiece created by yourself, you can stop at the simplest frames. They can also be decorated at your discretion using various decorative materials.

In an age when all design solutions already seem boring and a little fed up, making a picture on the wall with your own hands means finding an opportunity to stun your guests and make them admiringly look at the creation of a talented owner. However, experts insist that even talent is not strictly required, because the main thing is desire. Everyone has the right to a zest in the interior, and the fact that you can make it yourself allows you to save a lot - it’s even strange that this technique has not yet become universally popular.

The idea of ​​putting pictures on the walls is attractive enough to play a bad joke on the interested person. The owner of the premises, having heard about the unique opportunity to quickly, inexpensively and creatively decorate his home, can take rash steps - for example, make pictures inaccurately or use the first idea that comes across instead of the one that would turn out to be ideal.

You can't do that. Failure in this matter can greatly disappoint an unlucky designer, and it is possible that he is really a talent, he just does not suspect it himself. The idea of ​​a creative work must necessarily be nurtured for a long time - until all the details of its implementation seem obvious, and the idea itself becomes a familiar and integral part of the future implementer.

Remember that masterpieces are created only when the creator has a clear idea of ​​both the work process and the final result.

Methods for making paintings

Once upon a time, paintings meant mainly painting, but if we are talking about a design element for a wall, then there will be much more options. There will be no usual paints applied to paper here - everyone can guess to draw a picture and insert it into a frame. We will try to analyze only those solutions that look fresh, and at the same time they can be made by hand.

Finished fabric paintings

This method does not involve any fine art at all, except, perhaps, the correct compilation. The picture does not have to contain a clear plot and meaning - you can make a chic abstraction by simply hanging three pieces of fabric of the same shape and size stretched over the base, which would properly harmonize with each other.

If the fabric already contains some images, then this can be used additionally to create some kind of meaningful composition. Making these with your own hands is not at all difficult, here it will be harder to choose a good combination in such a way that it leaves a lasting pleasant impression. You can depart from the triptych proposed above - individual fragments of fabric may have irregular shapes, intertwine or be combined in any other way.

The main feature in creating paintings from fabric is the ability to choose the right combination, in accordance with the rules for combining colors.

Embroidery

This method is fully consistent with the wisdom that everything new is just a well-forgotten old. In the old days, women decorated their homes in this way, but today this tradition has been largely abandoned - and in vain: with proper execution, embroidery looks very attractive. Of course, only a real needlewoman can do such work with her own hands, but literally any plot can be depicted. If the author also dreams of getting married, then her work, hanging on the wall in a frame, will tell a lot about potential candidates for husbands invited to visit.

Paintings in 3D

And who came up with the idea that the wall should be flat? We propose to make a real three-dimensional image out of it with our own hands, the features of which are conveyed not only by paints, but also by bulges and depressions!

Such work will be more difficult, more time and effort will be spent on its implementation, but the result will definitely be unusual! And you will need to do the following:

1. On the wall that you plan to decorate in an original way, draw the outlines of the intended pattern with thin pencil lines. It is advisable to immediately evaluate the sketch from different angles of view and from different distances, show it to several people for an objective assessment and immediately correct it if there is constructive criticism.
2. In an oilcloth bag, collect a sufficient amount of putty and tie a container by making a small hole in it. With an impromptu putty gun, circle the outlines of the drawing so that the drawn lines become convex, thanks to the added layer.
3. Wait for the material to dry and harden, and then use a small knife to carefully trim the volume contour. If the drawing is complex enough, you can highlight both the contours and the internal details with irregularities.
4. Since the resulting surface will not only be convex, but also very rough, use sandpaper to achieve smoothness. Do not choose a coarse-grained option - it will only damage the results of creative work. It is best to give preference to the smallest grains used for final grinding.
5. Mix gouache with liquid PVA glue - so it will be much more resistant and durable. Use a brush to color the image as you intended at the planning stage.
6. To complete the picture, its borders can be marked with special baguettes, which in this case will play the role of a frame.

colored paper

Such a solution threatens to be short-lived, but it is easy to do it yourself and then periodically renew it, introducing additional elements. The idea is extremely simple - silhouettes are cut out of colored paper according to the template, for example, butterflies, which are freely glued to the wall using ordinary PVA, or simply pinned. Cut out figures can be additionally decorated with intricate patterns. Ideally, the figurines should differ in shape and size, and maybe even in color. It is best to combine opposite shades, for example, black with white or red with blue.

For the wall near the stairs, figurines imitating a kitten captured in various playful poses on different steps are perfect.

Twine as a tool in the hands of the artist

It's amazing, but you can make beautiful decorations for the interior even from an ordinary rope! Only a gifted person can make such a picture with his own hands - artistic vision and great patience are needed here in order to fix the rope in a vertical position in the required form. You can set the shape in any way - both with hot glue and with hidden thread fasteners. The resulting product is attached to the wall either with the same glue or with hidden studs.

Twine paintings look unusual and stylish, so this wall decor option definitely deserves attention.

Three-dimensional paintings with appliqué elements

You can make a picture with your own hands, which will combine both painting and applicative creativity. For this you need:

The value of this product will be all the higher because, despite the availability and prevalence of all the materials used, not so many people can create such a masterpiece, simple in its genius, with their own hands.

Option for the laziest

In the end, there is a way to create a wall picture that does not require any talent, or any skills, or even effort at all. All that is needed is to find the desired image on the Internet in high resolution and print it on a printer. Next, the resulting printout is inserted into a frame purchased in advance in the store and voila - cheap and cheerful!

To give a hateful interior design a new character and color, as well as to bring a fresh stream into the design of the kitchen, bedroom, nursery, paintings created by yourself will help. You can make unique paintings with your own hands from any available materials; this absolutely does not require professional art education. Stylish works of art that rightfully occupy a dominant role in the house are the bright accent that can enliven the interior, filling it with individual features.

In fact, you can make a picture with your own hands from almost anything. Yes, yes, this is not a joke. Having applied imagination, all creativity and creativity, it is really possible to use any materials at hand: coins, shells, buttons, threads, fabric cuts, leaves, dried berries, small branches, cutlery, sewing accessories, personal photographs and even miniature children's toys .

An excellent solution not only for the kitchen, but also for the bedroom, living room, nursery. Such modular compositions look holistic due to a single trunk and branches extending from it. The background of each individual element corresponds to a certain season (autumn - orange, summer - emerald, spring - light green, winter - blue). The button foliage is also made in a tonality corresponding to the presented seasons.

Buttons are an ideal material for creating interior paintings on your own. Using the structure, dimensions, shape and materials wisely, you can create real masterpieces without having an art education.

Leather goods

Despite the fact that the skin is quite easy to process, the picture is not so easy to handle. Here you need an understanding of working with the material, knowledge of the basic properties of the skin, considerable patience and perseverance. Therefore, it is recommended that you first try to make small trial compositions, and then move on to voluminous, fundamental works.

The most commonly used color palette in genuine leather paintings is brown-beige. But some daredevils are happy to use green, red, orange, yellow flaps.

The main advantages of leather images:

• Exclusivity - due to the originality of the material, it is impossible to repeat the picture one to one;
• Relief - depth, elevation, highlights and shadows create an unsurpassed 3D effect, thanks to which the picture "comes to life";
• Availability - small pieces of leather can be found both at home and purchased at the "flea" market or from shoemakers literally for next to nothing.

One of the most relevant techniques for creating paintings for the kitchen is subject application. Moreover, in this case, cereals, coffee beans, small dry vegetables and fruits, citrus peels, spices and the like are most in demand.

Food panels look harmoniously in the interior of the kitchen, as they look not only stylish, but also appetizing.

Photography in the interior of the kitchen

For those who prefer to follow the path of least resistance, a wonderful way to add color to a room is photographic paintings. In this case, it is enough to pick up a photo on the Internet or from a personal archive, and print it on a large-format color printer.

Fabric drawings

Fabric paintings are also widely applicable in the design of kitchens. They always look original, colorful and stylish. To prevent dust and grease from penetrating inside, upon completion of the creation of a work of art, textiles are usually treated with varnish. For fabric products, synthetic material, burlap and silk are best suited.

• When creating a picture for the interior with your own hands, it is best not to dazzle with colors, but to use a tone that matches the design of the kitchen. You also always need to adhere to the style of the overall concept of interior design. For example, in a classic room, leather goods and canvases painted in oils are acceptable. The following materials are suitable for high-tech style: glass, metal, mirror. Provence can be filled with floral ornaments and paintings from cereals. Volumetric works harmoniously look in modern kitchens and combined styles.

• The color palette should include three primary colors and several (at the request of the owner) close shades. Cold tonality is allowed to be diluted with warm accents, but you need to take colors from the opposite spectrum.

Color spectrum: the right principles for combining shades

• For convex shapes, you should always use an alternation of light and dark tones. Moreover, oversized dark volumes look best on a light plane. Approximately the same principle of a tandem of glossy with matte materials: matte should protrude above glossy. Thus, a greater depth of paintings and a maximum 3D effect are achieved.

• When making paintings on your own, whether it is an application or a drawing, it is important to observe the basic compositional principles, dynamics and balance.

• An easy way to make a painting original is to move the inner drawing outside of the base outline. For example, to extend the image to the frame or, with relief forms, beyond the border of the frame.

Four simple master classes

Photo of the final result

You will need:

• empty candy box or any deep frame
• double-sided colored paper
• simple pencil, eraser
• cardboard scraps
• sharp scissors
• PVA or transparent stationery glue.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. At the bottom of the candy box you need to draw a big heart. It is desirable that the distance to the frame is at least 20 ... 50 mm (depending on the size of the box).
2. Make several templates of different sizes from cardboard in the shape of hearts.
3. Cut out multi-colored paper hearts according to cardboard templates. Fold each heart in half vertically.
4. Glue two hearts of the same color and size. Gluing is done along the edge of the upper figure.
5. Lay out a composition of double miniature hearts inside the frame. Important - you can not go beyond the contours of the drawn big heart.
6. Glue all the elements according to the laid out scheme. Glue should be applied only to the edges of the hearts.
7. Volumetric 3D picture is ready! Then you can decorate it by painting a plain frame or using a hanging decor (candy on ribbons, paper butterflies on a fishing line, and the like).

You will need:

• colored cardboard
• simple pencil, eraser
• ruler
• black marker or marker
• PVA glue
• scissors

Even a child can make such a picture on their own. After all, the exact shapes and proportions are not important here. The main thing is to skillfully wield a ruler and a pencil, as well as to have at least a little creativity.

How to draw a picture yourself: step by step

Tip: The drawing can be left in monochrome or painted with colored pencils, watercolors, wax crayons to match the interior.

How to make modular composition yourself

Photo of the final result

You will need:

• piece of fabric (the size should be with a margin - for each detail you need a margin of at least 10 cm in width and 10 cm in height)
• pieces of plywood and wood slats for the frame
• foam or chipboard for the base
• furniture stapler
• scissors
• tape measure or long ruler
• a simple pencil or chalk (chalk is useful if the fabric is dark in color)

Step by step instructions:

1. Two options for creating a base for a do-it-yourself painting:

• Making a stretcher with your own hands. Saw the ends of the rails at 45 degrees and connect them with glue or a stapler. For reliability, it is recommended to fix small isosceles triangles at the corners of the frame. Triangles can be made from plywood or fiberboard. Also, for structural rigidity, you can stretch the fabric around the perimeter by attaching it with a stapler.

  

  Making a stretcher with your own hands

• Cut the finished base strictly in size from chipboard (16 ... 25 mm) or prepared foam.

  

  Chipboard base

  1. Fixation of textile fabric. Cut the fabric to a size larger than the stretcher, taking into account all the folds. Next, you should slightly moisten the material and only after that proceed to pulling on the base. Corners require special care and attention.

  Tip: first you need to stretch the long sides of the future picture, and then the short ones.

  Before fixing one of the sides, you need to make sure that the material is not crumpled and not crushed.

  

  

  

  1. That's all - the modular picture is ready. By the same principle, you can make a photo decoration for the interior.

  Fountain with ideas, create and get up - let the interior paintings made with your own hands please not only you, but also amaze, surprise, delight guests! The stylish interior of the kitchen and the whole house is the merit of enterprising owners who are not afraid to experiment.

Do you have an empty wall in your house with nothing to hang on? Scarlet cushions on the sofa look lonely and require another bright accent? Just take a canvas and draw a suitable picture!

We live in an era of victorious abstract art, when one would like to say about every second gallery work that even a child can draw it. So why not put aside your fears and forget about realistic art for a while to create your own little masterpiece? Drawing is fun, besides, it is simply impossible to draw an abstract picture badly or incorrectly! All you need is a canvas, paints, courage, a few hours of free time and perhaps a nice group of collaborators to create a unique work of art that is perfect for your interior. This is much more interesting than just buying a poster at IKEA! If you agree with us, we offer you a selection of the best techniques and workshops to create your own painting.

gold and concrete

The most-most favorite color of everyone who undertakes to make a stylish picture with their own hands is gold. You just need to add a little leaf foil or just paint to any, even plain, background. Gold looks good and not too defiant with an uneven gray concrete color.

sound waves

Horizontal uneven lines always resemble some kind of graphics or visualization of sound waves, in general, something important, and therefore it is interesting to look at them. To dilute the dull monochrome of the image, you can, as the author of this master class, add a little (or a lot!) Gold.

Geology

Have you noticed how beautiful cuts of stones are? This is a drawing with a history, a story about changes in climate, relief, and wildlife. You can create your own beautiful rock pattern: just take a vertical canvas and apply horizontal stripes of different widths and different colors on it. Invite the children to draw with you - let them come up with a story of a fictional world in which such a beautiful cut could appear.

Peas

Peas are a magical pattern: you can draw it on everything, and it will turn out beautifully. You don't even have to have a brush handy - just make a stamp out of a wine cork or the bottom of a glass. If you take a thicker paint (as in this case), the pattern of the prints will resemble the pattern of corals!

colored peas

If you want something more complicated, then make a print with a colored ornament. In this master class, in order for the peas to be even, they are cut out with a special hole punch, and then glued onto the canvas.

Blot

One way to create an abstract drawing is to step back as much as possible and let the paint do the work for you. For example, pour a large blot and then tilt the canvas so that the paint runs picturesquely over it. Such a picture can be made together with the child, you do not even need a brush for this.

Stencil

Checked: any abstract spots look cooler if their edges are very even. Such a contrast effect can be obtained by painting through a stencil, or by pre-reserving part of the canvas with masking tape, or by applying white borders with a stencil later, as in this master class.

Scribble

Make squiggles of any color on a canvas of any color, inspired by famous works, or relying only on your own inspiration - there are no borders and laws, doodle art is a very democratic direction! You can, like blogger Michel, create many layers, achieving complex textures, or you can paint with pure color on white. The main thing is to relax your hand and not forget that this is pampering, and you can always paint over an unsuccessful option.

Color swatches

Paintings with careless horizontal lines look like they are a sample of colors from the table of a Pantone employee or a fashion makeup artist's palette. The secret to success here, as blogger Julia demonstrates, is to leave enough white space and apply the paint in one stroke. Colors can be anything.

ombre

Gradient, or ombre, is a very simple and very beautiful effect. You don't even need a master class to repeat it. Two paints - basic and white, brush or roller, five minutes of your time, and the picture is ready. A great solution if your bright apartment has a bright accessory that needs color support.

Vanguard

There is nothing easier than to make a print in avant-garde style. Draw straight lines with scotch tape like in this tutorial and use bright paint straight from the can. The only advice - do not be too lazy to make a few sketches in advance.

Stamps

The most budgetary paintings do not even require the purchase of brushes: just take the first object that comes to hand and use it as a stamp. You will be surprised what a stylish thing you can draw with an ordinary glass!

Impressionism

And the last idea of ​​the painting for today is an impressionistic canvas painted in large strokes. Artist Ashley Sturgill shows you how to paint a vibrant painting with gold accents.

Get inspired and experiment, and we will help you with this!

People began to draw beautiful pictures at the dawn of mankind. And if in ancient times, drawing pictures was a way to convey some messages to other people, then later their purpose changed. Gradually, pictures began to be painted for pleasure and they began to decorate their homes. Art such as painting arose, which spread everywhere and became popular.
