From what you can make pictures with your own hands. Painting from improvised materials


Naturally developing as a form of art, they have safely survived to this day. At the same time, in a modern design interior today it is practically impossible to meet classical landscapes with still lifes: abstraction or a highly artistic photo took the place of picturesque classics. It is with abstraction and modernity that interior painting is mainly associated, the task of which is to create a certain psychological background of the room, the corresponding mood among those present, as a rule, an atmosphere of peace and tranquility, or vice versa - office activity and energy.

The shift towards abstraction, it must be admitted, brought painting much closer to ordinary person who is not engaged in fine arts professionally or technically high level. Naturally, not everyone is given the opportunity to realistically reproduce reality on canvas, with abstract art anyone more possibilities to create your mini-masterpieces. There are the most different techniques, sometimes you don’t even need a brush: yes, you can come up with an original way of applying paints to the surface yourself, you just need to practice and gain experience.

The main condition for the independent creation of a picturesque interior element can be called the boldness of ideas and determination in their implementation: when creating an artistic abstraction, it is extremely important to free the mind from limiting stamps and, with a light heart, with a firm hand, make strokes, strokes, color stains on paper, giving free rein to inspiration and fantasy . If you succeed, then the creative process will turn into a kind of meditation, resting your head and nervous system, distracting from everyday worries and disturbing thoughts.


The working surface for the picture can be, in principle, any flat surface, smooth or with a relief texture. It would be quite logical to take the first steps on ordinary thick paper of the required size, cardboard and plywood are also suitable, which can be pre-painted in the required light (or vice versa, dark) shade.

As working tools, any brushes are suitable, from art to painters of different widths, as well as pieces of foam rubber, an adjustable spray paint sprayer, a spray syringe, and the like, depending on the technique and the desired result.

A variety of colors will suit: watercolor will create a more “airy” image that will harmoniously decorate, for example, a bedroom; acrylic, oil paints, gouache - everything that is at hand can serve to realize your ideas. Depending on the tool used and the application technique - strokes, stains, splashes, strokes, etc. - achieve the desired consistency (degree of density) of paints, mixing which, moreover, get interesting color shades. You can also remember about pastel crayons - also a very good tool for designing in calm, soft (pastel) colors.

Do not forget about the additional possibilities of combining paints with other materials, such as multi-colored scraps of fabric, ribbons, leaves from trees, etc. This, however, is a slightly different genre, but it can help a lot in creating a truly original picture. Photographs located on a field painted by you and placed, for example, in a frame, also look good.

The design of the finished picture, according to modern ideas, can be presented in different styles:

- frameless style - the vast majority of interior paintings do not have a traditional frame;
- modular paintings - made up of three or more, less often - two elements of the same or several different sizes, located on one or on different levels: today, a fairly common solution, it seems, has already experienced the peak of its popularity;
- a small picture, located in the central part of the field, framed by a narrow modern frame significantly large sizes- in this way they achieve focusing attention on the picture, highlighting it from the general interior;
- a narrow modern frame along the perimeter of the picture, pushing the plane with its thickness painting canvas a few centimeters above the plane of the wall;
- other styles, up to bizarre combinations of classic and modern standards.

In conclusion, I would like to recall the well-known and repeatedly proven statement, according to which "practice is the basis of knowledge." Only during creative process the most interesting ideas are born, and well-mastered visual techniques will help to bring them to life on canvas. Initially, you can get acquainted with the finished works on our website and other resources, but continue to get acquainted with the genre, take an interest in which paintings are most successfully sold at auctions, visit exhibitions, receiving information and new guidelines for creativity.

Write down every thought that comes to mind.

Information, having gained a critical mass, will definitely “shoot” original idea. And having the main features of what you are looking for, you can choose the appropriate technique for creating do-it-yourself paintings for the interior and see photos.

Anything can serve as an impulse for creativity: from sewing accessories and beads to family photos and letters from the home archive.

Choosing ways to create a picture for your interior

Turning creative ideas into reality different ways. Draw with watercolors, acrylics, paint in oils, create panels from leather, thread or wool, make posters from photos - the choice is yours. Each of the paintings will be interesting and unique in the interior.

Painting with paints

Even if the talent of the painter has bypassed you, create abstract paintings for the interior at the level of "cute and sincere" is quite within your power. You will need:

  • oil, acrylic or watercolor paints;
  • tablet or easel;
  • canvas;
  • brushes;
  • palette and palette knife;
  • scotch;
  • solvent.

Sketching

The future of the picture that will decorate the interior of your apartment is first drawn with a pencil on canvas: a composition is built, small elements and main lines are outlined. The space around the main object is “overgrown” with details, the lines of objects intersect with each other and overlap. This gives the picture depth and dimension.

Determine the light source

To give the image realism, draw dark and illuminated areas. Outline where and at what angle the light will fall on the objects, where the shadow, penumbra and highlights will be located.

Choosing colors

In order to choose the right colors for the picture, you need to know that:

  • to obtain the desired shade of paint is mixed on a palette, and only then applied to the canvas;
  • on a sunny day, the color of the object has golden hues, on a cloudy day - grayish;
  • if according to the plot in the picture it is night, the objects will be richer and darker than during the day.

We create

Multi-volume works and 6 years of study at the institute are devoted to the art of drawing. At the household level, several guidelines can be given in this process:

  • draw simple objects first;
  • dilute and mix paints for your painting with a margin, because you won’t be able to achieve the exact same shade again;
  • before applying the next layer, the previous one should dry well;
  • try different techniques, but focus on two or three that you can do;
  • within three days image completed oil paints, you can correct, correct failed details or erase them completely.

Advice. If, starting a picture, you planned a plot in the style of realism, and by the middle of the process you are surprised at abstractionism, it does not matter. Urgently pretend that this is what you intended from the very beginning. Abstract creations are merciful to the mistakes of beginners, and in the interior they look spectacular and mysterious.

  2. On the basis, outline the contours of the frame.
  3. Glue the pattern on which you will lay out the beads.
  4. With a thread or wire, mark the outlines of the pattern by gluing them to the base.
  5. Glue the beads, distributing it tightly, without voids. If it is inconvenient to do this with your fingers, use a toothpick. Apply glue to small fragments, preventing it from drying out.
  6. Let the painting dry completely by placing it vertically for a while. If somewhere the beads are stuck badly, it will fall off, and you can reattach it.
  7. Decorate a beaded product in a frame, hang it on the wall and admire the transformed interior.

Painting for the interior from improvised materials

Painting with wool

Wool painting is a whole art in an unexpected perspective. This is where you can not worry about artistic abilities: a sketch of a drawing can also be applied under a stencil. Warmth, depth, volume are just a few epithets for such a work. A picture made of wool breathes, lives its own life and brings a special warmth to the interior.

Each method creates a different effect: the most delicate color transitions, transparency or saturation of texture, light haze or dense fluffy hairballs.
  • Give wool objects the desired shape: bulge, texture, layering.

Important! Sometimes apply glass to the composition of wool. So you evaluate the intermediate result and will be able to eliminate shortcomings in time.

  • Clean the glass with alcohol, press it against the painting with the clamps and cut off the protruding wool.
