        Drawings inside the bedroom

        • There are not so many rooms in urban dwellings and all are considered important. But one thing stands out – it’s a bedroom. After all, a person spends a third of his life here. Comes here after a working day and wakes up in the morning. It is therefore necessary to create comfort in all possible ways and the best conditions for a pleasant rest. It is recommended to decorate the bedroom with pastel tones that contribute to maximum relaxation.

        Mural in a nursery photo

        • A room for a child, thanks to a wall painting, can become a real fairytale kingdom or a small magical country. On the walls in the children’s room there is a mysterious forest or favorite characters from cartoon films. But don’t forget that this is the room where the child will spend most of the time, and therefore its design should be done in calm tones without bright, eye-catching colors. The main background of painting the walls in the nursery is recommended to carry out in light blue, pink, light green or peach shade. Details can be more vivid and expressive.

        • Do not draw gray and dark drawings in the nursery, firstly it can scare the little baby and secondly it does not contribute to creative development.
        • For creative development, children need a lot of small details that attract attention. For an even smaller child, the room can be decorated with heroes from Soviet or Disney cartoons, friendly fictional characters or fairytale castles and palaces. Topics that contain letters and numbers are relevant for preschool children.

        • It is important to create a special world in the nursery in which the baby feels comfortable. Therefore, you should not impose the parents’ views on the child, because if the chosen motive does not please the son or the daughter, they will feel very uncomfortable in such a room.
        • We have to be prepared that the picture painted for the newborn does not fit the adult child, which means that the drawing must be completely changed or deleted.

        Painting on the walls of the kitchen

        • The next room in the house is the kitchen. The main task in its design is to make this place as comfortable as possible for eating and cooking. Therefore, the walls can decorate drawings with delicious dishes or still life with fruit and berries. Abstractions, geometric shapes and landscapes also work well inside the kitchen.

        • As a rule, the kitchen cannot have a large area, so wall painting allows you to enlarge the room and change its proportions. Thanks to the painting, breakfast in the usual kitchen becomes a romantic meal on the terrace of a French café or a picnic on the picturesque English meadows.
        • If you are painting a painting in the kitchen, it is better to prefer the opposite wall so that the picture is not damaged by the hot steam and that there are no grease drops that are very difficult to remove.

        Drawings for the bathroom

        • Bathroom – This is a very specific space as there is always high humidity. So when painting a bathroom, you need to choose moisture-proof materials and carefully protect the finished image. As motifs, you can represent everything that has to do with water – the coast or the waterfall. These can be water lilies, palm trees or marine life, for example dolphins in foaming waves or starfish on a sandy beach. The artist can also create abstract paintings, for example water bubbles on a blue background.
        • Very often there is a half-destroyed stone wall on the wall behind the bathroom, behind which opens a picturesque seascape. In order to make the picture look as realistic as possible, it is worth supporting it with lighting effects through additional ceiling lighting.

        • The color scheme of small bathrooms should not be too dark, the shades of blue or blue look good.
        • Bathroom – a room in which you can show your imagination in a special way, because the picture does not have to be selected for the entire furniture style. It is wall painting and determines the mood for the whole room. You can draw a few small boards on different walls, and you can draw a large picture on a maximally free wall.

        Wall painting in the hallway design

        • Corridor – this is the first room in which people live, who have entered the apartment. From the design of the hallway, guests have a first impression of the whole house. Therefore, to order painting on the walls of the corridor, it is necessary to carefully choose the pattern. It is not always possible to install beautiful furniture in the hallway due to the small size of the room, and thanks to the colorful murals there will be an atmosphere of domestic warmth and cosiness.
        • A small hallway can optically enlarge the picture with small details in bright colors. Vertical lines in the picture help increase the height of the ceilings, and horizontal walls expand the walls. If the corridor is dark, the color of the picture should be light: peach, blue or pink.

        • Dark backgrounds with bright, large details fit well in large halls that not with Furniture. Such a painting creates additional comfort and harmony. It is important to remember that the hallway is part of the house, which should harmonize with the rest of the rooms but at the same time should have its own unique design.

        Techniques of artistic painting of walls

        Mural painting is a common name for a variety of traditional as well as modern techniques, techniques and methods for applying color to the wall surface.

        Traditional techniques

        Traditional techniques are deeply rooted in the deep past when only the first drawings on the walls and ceilings of the premises began to appear. They do not include the use of modern devices or special devices. This is a manual application of paint with brushes, different sizes and degrees of stiffness. There are several main types of artistic painting that have their own differences and characteristics.

        Fresco or affresco

        • In the literal translation is from the Italian language "fresco" "fresh" and the Affreco technique means painting on a raw, just applied plaster. Typically, the plaster layer contains lime, which forms a thin calcium film after drying, whereby the pattern itself is well protected from mechanical damage.

        • Images on the raw plaster are painted with water-soluble paints. The peak of the popularity of fresco painting falls during the Renaissance period. At that time the artist was not considered a professional in Europe if he did not have a single fresco on his account.
        • Concrete, stone, or brick surfaces are used as the basis for frescoes, but the slag stone walls are less suitable for this painting. The painting on raw plaster indicates a quick application of paint with the help of soft brushes and requires special care by the artist, because corrections are very difficult. Sometimes to distinguish a real fresco from others "Bouillon Fresco" called.

        alsecco

        • Translated from Italian means "secco" "dry", that is, this painting technique for dried, hardened plaster that is rewetted during the process. This is a less popular type of wall painting because the result is not as permanent (unlike the fresco).
        • The first drawings in this technique appear in ancient Rome and Greece, finally the technique that was developed in Europe 17-18 centuries. The dyes were dyes that were diluted with vegetable glue or egg yolk and mixed with oil, tempera or acrylic paints and lime.
        • Before starting work, the upper layer of plaster is sanded and the surface is liberally wetted. The wall is wetted in this form for a day and a half hour before work. In order not to make the picture appear pale, many artists mix the technique lightly and bleach the wall and do not add lime to the color.

        • Asekko allows the artist not to rush when drawing a drawing, to draw details carefully, and if errors occur, it is possible to rinse everything off with clean water and start over.

        sgraffito

        • This word also comes from the Italian and means "scratched". It is quite difficult to carry out the technique because several layers of colored plaster are applied to the wall and then scratched to different depths to the desired color. The easiest way to do this is by template to draw from two colors. For a more complex picture, use different pigments that are added to the plaster. It is almost impossible to make corrections, so stencils are used for a flawless application.

        • The technique was invented by the ancient Greeks, the artist first applied a layer of black plaster to the surface, and then white and, according to the idea, scratched the particles of the white layer before being exposed to the dark texture. Despite the complexity, this method is still popular thanks to the durability of the resulting drawing.

        Encaustic

        • From ancient Greek "Burn out". The technique involves the use of melted wax and color pigments as paints that are applied to dry plaster.
        • There is also a second option if wax paints are applied to the wall with a dry brush and burned with a hot object as if it were melting and adhering firmly to the surface. Nowadays this technology is rarely used because of its complexity, mostly the molten wax is applied to a fabric that is then glued to the wall.

        Three-dimensional painting or aperture

        • It first appeared in the Renaissance, then many churches were painted in this way, increasing most of the volume of the room, visually increasing the ceilings.
        • This is a complicated but very interesting technique. A relief pattern is applied to the walls or ceiling, which is then wiped or painted with colors.
        • Because of the perspective and the play of light and shadow, this painting reproduces the real objects completely.

        Modern techniques

        With the development of modern technologies, traditional methods of wall painting are replaced by new methods, devices and colors.

        Aerography

        • Literally the name of this technique can be used as "Drawing by air" to be translated. Of course, such an approach was known to an old man when paint was blown through a hollow straw on a hard surface. But only with special adaptations – airbrushes – did he gain popularity.
        • This is a fairly plastic technique, which is characterized by a special three-dimensional pattern and its durability. With the help of an airbrush you can apply even the smallest strokes and draw details of any complexity. Mural painting is bright, colorful and realistic.

        • Almost any surface is suitable for airbrushing. It can be plastered or painted walls, plasterboard and even wallpaper. Artists can use both liquid and powder dyes. The most popular water-soluble acrylic.

        graffiti

        • They came from the streets in a modern residential building, because for the first time there were drawings, pictures and inscriptions, which were most often applied with aerosol cans.
        • Graffiti can also be scratched or written with ink. This technique is similar to the method of drawing with airbrush, but usually differs in the result of the picture from abstract drawings or inscriptions.

        grisaille

        • In French means "Gris" "Gray", and the technique itself is a pattern made in shades of the same color, mostly shades of gray or brown (imitation of old black and white photographs).

        • The images shown are by volume, relief and as realistic as possible.

        Painting technique on decorative plaster

        • Before starting with such a painting, a layer of decorative plaster is applied to the wall, and only after drying does the artist move on to the main work. With this method, the surface receives additional volume and relief.

        Painting with special colors

        • With this technique, a drawing is drawn with an invisible color that begins to glow in a dark room. As a rule, this pattern is used in the nursery or bedroom and shows pictures with nightly scenery.

        Painting with acrylics

        • This is the most popular technique since it is acrylic, which is ideal for drawing drawings on almost any surface. This paint dries quickly, is easy to apply, has a wide range of colors and can be washed off if necessary.

        • Typically, artists very rarely use only one technique, they skillfully combine techniques with different painting methods at once and thus achieve a special attraction for each drawing.

        Mural painting with your own hands

        If you start painting walls yourself, you need to prepare certain tools.

        • to brush. It is best to use several brushes of different thicknesses to draw large and small parts of the picture, including useful brushes and rollers that are applied to the background. Artistic brushes can be squirrels or wool ponies.
        • A simple pencil and ruler. Needed to draw a sketch of the picture on the wall.
        • Colours. This is the most important material, since the quality of the result depends on both its quality and its appearance. It is best for an amateur to use acrylic paints. You can buy a glass or two white acrylic paints for painting walls and several basic colors – black, yellow, blue, red. In the work process, the desired color is obtained by mixing the colors and colors, but if the experience in achieving different shades is not sufficient, it is worth buying finished colors of most colors. Easily buy paint at the hardware store. Acrylic is an environmentally friendly material that has no smell, which means that you can even paint in the room you live in. In addition, it is very resistant, is not afraid of temperature changes and does not deteriorate under the influence of moisture.

        • At this point, you need to select a drawing and the location in the house where you want to apply it. The main work will be to prepare the surface and create a sketch of the future drawing.
        • The surface of the wall is cleaned of every finish, plastered again if necessary and covered with an acrylic primer. To paint with acrylics, the wall must be dried thoroughly. Therefore, the prepared wall can dry for 24 hours. At this point, you can create a sketch or template for future drawing.

        main stage

        • If you have experience, you can start with a simple pencil and ruler to sketch directly on the wall.
        • You can also use any drawing. To transfer it to the wall, it is best to draw and zoom in an image in squares, apply the same squares to the wall, and then move the image along the details.

        • After the drawing is finished, it is necessary to carefully examine it and correct any small defects. Then they start the dyeing process.

        • Take a special palette or mix white acrylic paint with dyes in individual glasses.

        Note: color is better to grow a little more than necessary because it can be difficult to get the same shade. But don’t forget that the paint dries quickly so you can’t keep it in the air for long.

        The last phase

        • After the painting is finished, it is necessary to look at the result again and if everything has gone well, the work can be painted.
        • A matt lacquer is used for this, since the gloss dazzles and the pattern loses its attractiveness.

        • The decoration of the wall on the picture is considered complete. Quality painting can remain unchanged for several decades. Care is easy, dust is removed from the pattern every two to three months and if heavy dirt is easily wiped off with a damp cloth.
