Drawings on the wall in the apartment with their own hands

For those hosts houses or apartments who wish to make their housing exclusive, unlike many other typical interiors, there are many ways to transform it. Acquiring wallpaper, a person can never be completely sure that, having come to visit his friends, he will not see the exactly the same they have on the wall. Therefore , it makes sense to refer to one of the techniques of applying the wall pattern.

Drawings on the wall in the apartment with their own hands can be done in many ways, however, in order to choose an available option, you need to know how they are reproduced. Wall painting is quite a complex exercise, and not everyone has a predisposition to this, without exaggeration, art. Therefore, technological techniques were developed for , for which there is no need for talent for drawing - only accuracy, consistency and accuracy are needed.

Very important moment in creating on the wall of a picture of any type is the ideal smoothness of the wall, otherwise it will be impossible to achieve the desired aesthetic effect. Conversely, when applied to the surface of the paint, all

will manifest its flaws. That's why the work needs to begin with careful preparatory activities.

Aligning the wall for drawing

Align the wallsin the apartment can be in two ways - with plasterboard( "dry plaster") and applying a usual wet plaster.

• The first method is much simpler than the second, so it is available for anyone, even an inexperienced builder.
• The second method of wall alignment requires the of a particular experience, and not the fact that it will be possible to tidy the surface from the first time.

Therefore, it is better to use gypsum cardboard for apartment walls, especially since wall alignment with it can be done in two different ways.

Wall leveling with gypsum plasterboard

drywall can be fastened on the wall by gluing to a gypsum mortar or mechanically fixing it on a metal frame.

Walls in apartments are often uneven, but usually do not have excessively large differences, as, for example, the surface in a private house of old construction. Therefore, to fix them, you can apply the method of gluing the leveling gypsum board.

Bonding of drywall

For work sheets of gypsum cardboard and mounting glue on a gypsum base are required.

The alignment process is performed in the following order:

• The construction level or plumb line is used to check the evenness of the wall to determine where a thicker layer of adhesive solution is applied to the drywall sheet.
• Further, the wall of is primed with with a composition of deep penetration and dried.
• Drywall sheets, if necessary, are cut to the correct size.
• After this, the solution is mixed - in exact accordance with the instructions attached to it.
• On the sheet of drywall it is applied point glue - in the form of slides.

• After that, the sheet is installed to the wall and tightly pressed. The horizontal level of its installation is controlled by the building level.

• The entire wall is aligned in the same way. To comply with a single plane is recommended from above and tighten the control cords.
• Once all the sheets are adhered to and the is securely fixed with , the joints between them are glued with a serpentine tape, and then are sealed, first start , and then fine finisher. After , its drying is carefully cleaned.

Fastening the drywall onto the frame.

This alignment method can be applied to the and for wall alignment, and if an its is required to insulate or to soundproof the .

Actually, the wall itself is leveled not by sheets of plasterboard, but by a metal frame made of galvanized profiles. It is he who is exposed on the level and fixed on the wall.

After that, one frame and from from wuko - and heat insulation materials are laid between the frame guides, if it is planned.

The next stage of the frame is covered with sheets of gypsum board, which is fixed with self-tapping screws. heads self-tapping die in sheets for 1 ÷ 1.5 mm.

Joints between sheets are sealed in the same way as when glued on a wall. But except for this, must be treated with and holes in the screwing points, otherwise they will show later rusty spots.

For any method of mounting the GKL , after completing the basic work the entire surface must necessarily plaster .The solution is applied with a wide spatula in a thin layer.

The wall is then carefully sanded with a grinding machine or hand-troweled to a perfectly smooth and smooth condition.

The last stage before applying the drawings, regardless of the chosen technique, the wall must be well primed - it is best to do this in two layers.

Only after complete drying of the soil can you go to the decorative design of the wall surface.

Drywall is a great material for leveling walls of

Existing drawing techniques on walls

There are a lot of ways to transfer a drawing to the wall, but not all of them are available for reproduction in the absence of experience and talent in this art. Therefore, it is worthwhile to consider the most popular technologies, so that you can determine which one is most suitable for independent execution by a beginner master.

Drawing on the wall with paint

This method is used by experienced artists when drawing on a wall of a drawing that does not have clear contours and lines. To perform such work, you need to have a good spatial imagination and in advance to present the picture that should be obtained as a result.

First of all it is necessary to determine the basic color that will be present in most elements of the painting. It is the base color that is used to create the of the so-called "skeleton pattern" , that is, the key, support parts.

For example, a wall is supposed to be depicted on the wall, the center of the composition of which will be a tree, and around it will be located auxiliary elements. In this case, the of the diluted before the transparency with the basic paint reproduces the contours of the central and largest elements of the picture. To apply the scheme of the landscape, the is suitable brown or green paint, as they are necessarily present in any paintings with a natural theme.

This stage is a kind of markup and will become the basis for further work. So to is taken basic and translucent, its can always be covered with a thicker layer when performing further actions and prescribing small details.

This is the most difficult way, and without the experience and talent, it is better not to take it for it, because to fix the result of the failed experiment it is necessary for to completely recolor the wall surface.

To mark up a picture with this approach, only paint, a brush and capacity for paint thinner are required.

Drawing with pencil

This method of drawing a picture on a wall is also not easy. The is designed to transfer an image from a small sketch to the plane in large and without distortion. The difficulty of transfer consists in observing the exact proportions of the elements of the future picture, and, of course, their forms and directions of motion.

The first thing to do is define the area on the wall where the picture will be placed - its can be marked with dots or crosses. Then, within the selected plane, the selected pattern is played using the pencil.

To apply the image in this way, you need to prepare a simple pencil, eraser and soft cloth.

Transferring a drawing to squares

Transferring an image from your own sketch, photograph or to a printed on a wall-to-wall printer by dividing the of its into squares is seen as a simpler and more affordable option than the two methods described above. This approach to drawing is available even for those who do not have artistic talent, but are ready for a fairly long, painstaking and accurate work.

Proce ss pr is guided as follows:

• The prepared sketch is drawn into squares, usually having a size with a multiplicity of 10, for example, 40 × 40 or 50 × 50 mm. Round numbers are taken in order to simplify their translation in proportion when transferred to the wall.
• Further, on the wall an area equal to the proportionally drawn pattern is determined. Let's say the sketch size is 200 × 250 mm. If you apply a ratio of 1:10, then on the wall for it will require an area of ​​2000 × 2500 mm. If you want the image to be smaller, you can transfer it in a 1: 5 ratio, and in this case it will take on a wall with an area of ​​1000 × 1250 mm.
• The site on the wall, allocated to for drawing, also is divided into squares, in the same proportion as the whole image. The idea of ​​dividing the picture into separate sections is to accurately transfer the image from a small sheet to a large area of ​​the wall. Carry it, focusing on each of the squares, which is part of the overall image. The lines performed by will be excellent support points.
• Next, from each square on the sketch, part of the image is transferred to the corresponding square on the wall. It is very important to make sure that the line from one square has the desired continuation in the lower or the next, next to the square. Only then the image will be transferred accurately and become a full-fledged likeness of a small picture.

A similar method of drawing a drawing will require quite a lot of tools. The is a simple pencil, eraser, rulers of different lengths, a construction corner and a level( plumb bob) for removing flat horizontal and vertical lines.

Transferring a drawing to a wall using shadow

Drawing a picture on a wall with a shadow is not often practiced in wall painting, although this method is fairly simple to perform. Main in it - create the necessary lighting and set it so that the shadow from the selected object clearly fell on the wall, where the painting will be done. Thus, the surface can be transferred lacy or geometric pattern, tree branches that can turn into shadows in the trunks, the silhouette of a person or just the profile of his face, and much more.

The advantage of this method is that the shadow on the wall itself is capable of increasing the objects.

For example, the wall is intended to depict a landscape with a house. To do this, you can cut out a small house of cardboard and set it against the light at a distance from the wall so that the desired size is displayed on it.

In addition, the shadow can become an assistant in the composition of the landscape, as some items can be rearranged and look for them the is the best display on the wall with the help of a shadow until the complete harmony of the distribution of elements is achieved.

Fixing the object in the desired position, its shadow on the wall is drawn with a simple pencil. The only thing that will have to after completing the layout is small details. Applying this method of image transfer, you can create a 100% exclusive panel for the room.

To transfer the image to the wall in this way, you will need a projector or a powerful lamp, a simple pencil and an eraser.

Technique for stencil drawing

A very simple way to transfer a drawing to the wall - is a stencil. Its disadvantage can be called only that it will be difficult to make a blank for the large elements that will be present in the drawing, and the image will be quite monotonous, because with the help of the stencil it is impossible to recreate full-fledged pictures with a lot of details.

In other respects the advantages of this method are undeniable - it gives clear image lines, and it is enough to make one or two templates to decorate completely the entire allocated to the area under the decoration with the necessary ornament.

This approach is excellent is suitable for decorating the wall with an ornamental belt or if it is conceived to display one or several individual objects or plant compositions.

The stencil can be made by yourself, printing first the image on the printer, then pasting it on the cardboard and thoroughly carving the picture with a sharp knife. Find ready samples can be in any art or even a construction store, but in this case, they will not be exclusive.

butterflies are selected as the main theme of this screen pattern. Before applying the color, it is necessary for the stencil element to determine the area of ​​the selected pattern on the wall, then apply a template to it and draw a pencil around it. Then, you should step aside and look from afar if the place is chosen correctly. If an ornamental border is supposed to be made on the wall, then, , before the starts to work, it is necessary to mark the line on which it will go.

When selecting this method of drawing a picture and making a stencil yourself, you need to prepare a sharp writing knife, an eraser and a simple pencil from tools.

Stuffing of a drawing with a paint through a stencil

The stencil is used not only for drawing of contours of drawing - very often it is applied at once for reproduction of the required image. For such a drawing, you usually only need one or two colors, which make the padding. The main job of applying paint is done using a sponge or paint brush, but soft watercolor brushes of different thicknesses will be needed to adjust the shape contour. If you need to work quickly, then instead of the sponge you use a balloon with the paint of the selected color.

paint. To corrective work was , it is necessary to observe two very important rules - to tighten the stencil to the wall at the maximum, and during the paint application, make sure that does not move the fromthe designated place until the entire template is filled with color. To keep the stencil well in one place, it can be fixed on the wall with a paint tape that does not damage the base wall decoration.

. It should be noted that putty can be used instead of the ink for applying through the stencil, which is applied with a spatula. In this case, an interesting effect is achieved - the picture will be volumetric , protruding from the wall approximately by 1 ÷ 1.5 mm.

Drawing a relief drawing

A 3D image can be applied to a pre-made pencil drawing, but many experienced masters do it without preliminary marking.

. The work is made with a gypsum mixture, from which elements of various compositions quickly form - these can be landscapes, figures of birds and animals, and 3D plant ornaments.

Such reliefs can be later covered with paint, and can remain in a natural state, and most often the last option is chosen.

"Revitalizing" the pattern with the color and shape of

After understanding how the base of the pattern is applied to the wall, you can proceed to the next, most interesting stage of the work. 's "" should be "breathed life" into the 's design, giving them that appearance that will become a decoration not only of a concrete wall, but of the whole room.

Application of paint by roller

The simplest of all existing methods of applying paint is the use of a special roller with a textured pattern. This tool consists of cylinder-rollers, rotating in opposite directions. The surface of one of them is made of foam - it is taken from capacity paint. The second roller - of rubber, and on it it is put a relief drawing. At rotation the paint from a sponge gets on a relief of the next roller, and from it it is imprinted on a wall surface.

For sale, you can find nozzles on the rollers, having different patterns, from which you can choose the one suitable for a particular room. The advantage of this method of decorating walls can be considered that the work is done in one reception of , that is, the image is applied at once with paint and does not require additional correction. The drawback is obvious - everything turns out to be too monotonous, and the factory production of rollers practically excludes the possibility of exclusivity of the applied drawing.

Painting of a pencil drawing

Revival of a drawing with paints is the same for both conventional and relief figures. It will require water-based paints and brushes, water tanks and a pallet for mixing different colors.

• The first coat of paint applied to the drawing must be "transparent", since its function is to distribute the color over the future picture-mural.

• Without drawing small elements, the color stains are applied to the drawing, which must fill the entire canvas. For example, mixing paints and achieving natural natural shades, sky is covered in blue, field - yellow-green , tree trunks - transparent brown tone. Do not take saturated colors - they can be achieved later, causing subsequent layers that will form the "volume" of the various details of the picture.
• We should not forget that remote elements should be seen not so clearly , as being in the foreground. Considering this, it is possible to emphasize the depth of space in the image. Do not hurry to immediately prescribe the foreground of the landscape - over it artists usually work in the last place.
• When the whole area of ​​the picture is covered with color, you need to move to the opposite wall to better see the distribution of colors.

• After the completion of the first stage of work, you can take in the hands of thinner brushes and begin to register all the details in detail, trying to shape the with 3D elements using color and shadows. In doing so, is not forget to observe the laws of perspective, that is, the further the images depicted trees and houses are removed from the bottom edge of the picture, the less the clarity of the they should have.
• The foreground of the picture is prescribed more clearly , but the items located on it , , too, should have a volume that creates with different shades of paint. After completing work on the first plan, can some mural sections further darken, which will add depth to the space and will make the image larger than the volumetric .

Color coating volumetric or single picture

If the wall is embossed, volumetric or a normal drawing without surrounding with additional elements, then the work on its transformation is carried out approximately in the same way as painting a multifaceted picture. This category of images includes such elements as color to of large size, a flowering branch of a tree or a composition from several plants.

If you decompose the painting of such a picture step by step, the work will consist of the following stages.

• Each of the drawing elements is completely covered with the desired color. The first layer should be transparent, but the paint should not go beyond the lines of on the contour wall. If you disassemble the image submitted to , then the leaves on are covered with a pale green , the petals of the buds are transparent red and is yellow .
• After the first stage of work the painting will get color, but it will look flat.

Therefore, the following layers of paint should work to create a volume of petals, leaves and stems. To do this, to the base colors, already applied on the image, are added more saturated tones, which can give the painting a picturesque. For example, a bit brown or even black paint is added to the red color, and the resulting color is applied in the shadow areas of the buds. To get a more saturated yellow color can be added red and brown shades. All paints should be mixed on a palette that will allow you to see color and tone transitions.

• pattern. To create a color of the leaves in harmony with all the other elements of the composition, for this will have mixed in a palette of three colors - yellow , brown and green .They can be mixed in various proportions for the application in different image areas.
• When each of the elements acquires form, it is necessary to emphasize the depth of the volume .To do this, the base color adds a greater amount of paint close to it shades, as well as a little black .The finished color is applied to the shadow areas of the buds and leaves, which will give them a more noticeable bulk and visually " tear them " them off the wall.

Step-by-step creation of the bulk drawing on the wall

This photo shows the room, the rear wall of which is decorated with with a bulk floral design made from start to finish by hand. To make sure that such an option is available for manufacturing to any apartment owner who wants to transform his housing drawings on the walls, you need to consider in detail the sequence and technique of performing the work.

To reproduce such a decor, some materials and tools will be needed:

• The material for creating the stencil is the or cardboard having a high density insulation material. It will take a sheet of size approximately of 1000 × 500 mm.
• Gypsum putty to create a relief.
• Primer for covering the wall before the work starts and after creating a relief pattern.
• Paint acrylic, selected color. If the volume details are also covered with paint, you will need to pick two colors that will blend in with each other.
• Construction or clerical sharp knife.
• Spatula and stack.
• Soft narrow and wide brushes.
• Scraper.
• Fine-grained sandpaper.
• Pulverizer.
• Oil marker with gold or silver paint to highlight the relief.

Проце сс ​​пр The image of the wall for this technology is carried out in the following order:

• The work begins with the manufacture of a stencil, which will serve to create a thin 3D pattern or even a relief that protrudes significantly from the wall. The material for making the template must have a thickness that it is planned to "lift" the relief parts from the wall. It is best for these purposes to use a tight or even rigid material that fits well to any surface. However, at the same time, the basis for the template should remain enough light , in order that its can be glued to the wall with the help of paint tape. Some use for this purpose a tight roll insulation( foam polyethylene) of the required thickness.

On the prepared for the panel , the chosen pattern is applied, and then a sharp knife is cut out along the contour. The work should be carried out on the rigid surface, which will not be a pity to damage, for example, on the table you can put the fox t t plywood.

• stencil. The next step is to fix the stencil with adhesive tape on the primed and well-dried wall ,
• Next, the plaster mixture is mixed on a gypsum base. Here it is necessary to remember that the gypsum quickly seizes and hardens, so it is not worth mixing a large amount of the solution.
• The next step - through the stencil mounted on the wall, on top of the cut out drawings, a plaster is applied with a spatula and compared with the surface of the template.

putty As the gypsum freezes quickly, the stencil can be carefully removed from the wall after 10-15 minutes, because for further work it is necessary that the relief pattern remains slightly moist.

. After removal of the stencil, the relief pattern remaining on the wall will not have the of the completed .It can be called a workpiece, therefore will have to work on it.

• For this, takes the stack, mixes the solution and adjusts each of the elements. On some of them, excessive plaster is cut, and in other places, on the contrary, a small part of the solution is added, from which the missing elements of the pattern are formed.

• Next, a stage of additional refinement of relief details with the help of a brush and water is carried out. Wetting the brush, it is aligned, as far as the is possible, the surface of the relief, trying to round its sharp sharp edges.

The solution spread around the pattern should be carefully cleaned or wiped off with a soft damp cloth.

• After that, the entire wall is best primed and allowed to dry.
• Next, all the decorative elements must be painted with paint to make the even the their color with the general background of the wall. This operation is carried out with a soft brush, and in the process of work, care must be taken to ensure that there are no streaks and divorces on the surface from the bristles of the brush.
• Painted relief should be carefully sanded with fine grain. Not only the on the of the top of the elements, but also in all grooves, is passed through the emery, removing from them as an extra solution, highlighting the shape of the petals of the flowers and giving the a beautiful volume of leaves and curls.

• After that, the wall is best covered with primer.

• Next stage - the whole wall is completely covered with paint, which will equalize the entire surface. Perhaps will have to paint the wall two or even three times - the number of cycles will depend on the quality of the paint and texture wall decoration material. Some plaster mixtures absorb the paint material well, and it can dry out with spots - some areas of the wall will be opaque, others glossy. To avoid such unevenness, before applying the paint and priming of the surface is carried out.

• . The final stage of the work will be the allocation on the wall of the relief elements over with the dark or the light tone of the base paint. Instead, can be used with and another variant of the decor, for example, as shown in this photo. Here the master decided to use the gilding of the floral pattern that the gave the wall a stylish and distinctive chic.

Based on the above technique, other variants of mural 3D images created on the wall can be made. The main thing in this event is the selection of the correct relief pattern, which corresponds to the style of the room, and harmonious color scheme.

It should be noted that there are other techniques for painting the wall, and the optimal is chosen depending on the style of the room. Deciding to decorate your house with drawings on the walls, which is planned to do on your own, it is very important to correctly calculate your capabilities and strengths so that you do not have to redo the work completely.

And finally, we offer to enjoy the virtuoso work of a true master for making a relief pattern on the wall.
