There are many ways to bring creative ideas to life. Paint with watercolor, acrylic, write Modular pictures oil, create panels of leather, thread or wool, make posters from photos - the choice is yours. Each of the paintings will be interesting and unique in the interior.

Ink painting

Even if the painter’s talent has bypassed you, it’s up to you to create abstract paintings for the interior at the level of “cute and sincere”. You will need:

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

Sketch

The future of the picture that will decorate the interior of your apartment is first drawn with a pencil on the canvas: the composition is built, small elements and basic 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 volume.

Determine the light source

To make the image more realistic, draw some shaded and lit areas. Note where and at what angle the light will fall on objects, where the shadow, penumbra and glare will be located.

Choose 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 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 it is grayish;
• if the plot in the picture is night, the objects will be richer and darker than during the day.

Create

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

• draw simple objects first;
• dilute and mix paints for your painting with a margin, because it will not work again exactly to achieve the same shade;
• before applying the next coat, 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, correct failed parts or completely erase them.

Tip. If, starting the picture, you planned a plot in the style of realism, and by the middle of the process you are surprised at abstract art, it does not matter. Urgent pretend that you had in mind from the very beginning. Abstract creations are merciful to the errors of beginners, and in the interior they look spectacular and mysterious.

Beaded paintings

• Super glue;
• toothpick.

We begin to create a masterpiece for the interior.

1. Release the frame from the glass.
2. Based outline the outline of the frame.
3. Paste the pattern on which you will lay out the beads.
4. With a thread or wire, mark the contours of the drawing by gluing them to the base.
5. Glue the beads, distributing it tightly, without voids. If fingers are uncomfortable, use a toothpick. Apply glue on small fragments, not allowing it to dry.
6. Let the painting dry completely by setting it vertically for a while. If somewhere the beads stuck poorly, it will fall off and you can reattach it.
7. Decorate the beadwork in a frame, hang it on the wall and admire the transformed interior.

To make the work of your hands, intended for the interior of your home, 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, wallpapers, dried flowers, sea pebbles, shells and even wool. The picture for the interior of wool is worth considering in more detail.

Wool painting

Woolen painting is a whole art from an unexpected angle. That's 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. The wool pattern breathes, lives its own life and brings special warmth to the interior.

It will be required:

• kleimerny frame;
• non-woven or flannel backing;
• scissors, tweezers;
• wool of different colors.

Now we begin to paint a picture with wool.

• Draw a sketch based on.
• Start the layout of the wool with the main background color, and then lay out the wool of other colors in layers. It is possible to apply wool by pulling into a lock, 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 lumps of wool.
• Give the objects of wool the desired shape: convexity, texture, layering.

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

• Clean the glass with alcohol, press the clamps against the picture and cut off the protruding coat.
• Lock the frame and enjoy the result.

Homemade posters for the interior

The original picture for the interior of the kitchen with your own hands will be posters made with the participation of handwritten recipes from mom's culinary notebook, for example. Handwritten text, inscriptions and quotes on the culinary theme and just useful information for the hostess can be made into a meaningful composition and decorate the interior of the kitchen with it.
Stylish posters can be created from collages of family photos. The main photo is located in the middle of the collage, and its photo frames are in tune 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 the purchase, but it's worth it. But there would be a desire - funds will be found.
