Paintings are one of the components of a warm and unique atmosphere. And if the paintings are made independently, the emotional “response” from them is an order of magnitude higher than that of the purchased ones. Paintings for the interior, created by oneself - you will see photos of examples below - thought out with interest and brought to life with love, will give a good mood for a long time.
Let you not have the talent of an artist, do not shine with a creative flair and doubt your taste. Drop doubts. Having a desire to create original paintings for the interior, you can independently learn some techniques and after a while admire the creation of your own hands.
Looking for an idea for a painting
Inspiration is a fickle and fickle thing. Let's not wait for insights from above, but let's actively search for ideas for future paintings for the interior.
Advice. At the very beginning, it will be useful not to look on the Internet in search of ideas. Trust your inner instinct: what exactly do I need, how would I like to see my picture, what mood should it bring to my life and to the interior of the house? Write down every thought that comes to mind.
Information, having gained a critical mass, will definitely “shoot” with an 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.
Advice. For any mother, a touching option for interior decor will be a panel collage of children's drawings, applications, the first cute scribbles and other priceless creations of small hands.
Choosing ways to create a picture for your interior
There are many ways to turn creative ideas into reality. Paint with watercolors, acrylics, paint Modular pictures 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, creating abstract paintings for the interior at the “cute and sincere” level 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 mixed on the 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, an image made with oil paints can be corrected, corrected for failed details or completely erased.
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 impressive and mysterious.
Paintings with beads
Interesting and beautiful paintings that complement the interior of the kitchen or bedrooms are obtained using beads. Painstakingly, not quickly, but relatively simply, and most importantly - it is useful for the nervous system.
You will need:
- frame on a solid base;
- printed drawing;
- beads;
- wire or thread;
- Super glue;
- toothpick.
We begin to create a masterpiece for the interior.
- Free the frame from the glass.
- On the basis, outline the contours of the frame.
- Glue the pattern on which you will lay out the beads.
- With a thread or wire, mark the outlines of the pattern by gluing them to the base.
- 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.
- 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.
- Decorate a beaded product in a frame, hang it on the wall and admire the transformed interior.
Painting for the interior from improvised materials
To make the work of your hands, intended for the interior of your home, turn out to be interesting, do not limit your imagination to any specific techniques. Combine, break the rules, create your own recipes.
Various decorative and natural materials can be used: leather, fabric, buttons, sequins, quilling elements, wallpaper, dried flowers, sea pebbles, shells and even wool. The picture for the interior of wool is worth considering in more detail.
Painting with wool
Woolen 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.
You will need:
- clamp frame;
- non-woven or flannel backing;
- scissors, tweezers;
- wool of different colors.
Now we begin to draw a picture with wool.
- Draw a sketch on the base.
- Start laying out the wool with the main background color, and then lay out the wool of other colors in layers. Wool can be applied by pulling into a strand, plucking into a “cloud”, tearing off. Each method creates a different effect: the most delicate color transitions, transparency or texture saturation, light haze or dense fluffy hairballs.
- Give wool objects the desired shapes: bulge, texture, layering.
Important! Sometimes apply glass to the composition of wool. So you will evaluate the intermediate result and 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.
- Fix the frame and enjoy the result.
Homemade posters for the interior
An original picture for the interior of the kitchen with your own hands will be posters made with the participation of handwritten recipes from my mother's culinary notebook, for example. Handwritten text, inscriptions and quotes on a culinary theme, and simply useful information for the hostess can be arranged into a meaningful composition and decorate the kitchen interior with it.
Stylish posters can be created from collages of family photos. The main photo is located in the middle of the collage, and it is framed by photos that are consonant with the general theme. The collage is fixed in a frame under glass.
Everyone can create their own masterpiece for the interior. Not always your creation will cost less than purchased, but it's worth it. But if there is a desire, there will be funds.
