Pictures on the walls: simple design for any apartment (51 photos)

A self-made drawing on the wall can decorate a living room, giving it a special touch of personality. By independently creating drawings on the walls in the apartment, you can not only ensure the special aesthetics of your apartment, but also save a lot.

Drawings on the wall in the interior can be created on the basis of a large number of techniques of different levels of complexity. In this material we have to address several issues at once:

• Is it possible to create a picture of a tree on a wall myself?
• On the basis of what technique are 3D-drawings created on the walls?
• How difficult is it to make drawings with liquid wallpaper on the wall?
• Is it possible to make a volumetric picture on the wall?
• Do-it-yourself drawings on the wall in the apartment: basic techniques.

Basic techniques for creating images on the walls

First of all, we will consider the method of creating drawings on the wall using paint. Drawn images of flowers, tree branches (sakura), various 3D letters and symbols give the walls a special aesthetic.

This method of creating wall-mounted images is widely used by professional artists in their practice, when the drawing does not need to be endowed with clear lines, as well as contours. To carry out such a technique, it is important to have excellent spatial vision and to use sketches of future artwork.

Also a pretty popular technique is to create an image using a stencil. This technique is notable for its simplicity. Using a stencil, you can create beautiful images with many details.

However, in this case, you will have to use several stencils at once. For example, to create a tree (for example, sakura) with many petals on the branches, 2-9 stencil blanks will be needed, depending on the number of parts that will be present on the wall. Some details can be drawn after the drawing of a tree or flowers on the wall in the living room or in the children's room is created.

How to make additional elements in the picture? In this case, use colored pencils or paint to decorate the walls.

The plus of the stencil is that it can be made independently from and to. The image can initially be printed using a printer, after which the pattern is glued to the surface of the cardboard, and then it is completely cut out with a well-sharpened knife. You can also buy blanks; they are sold in any hardware store.

The most sophisticated techniques

Not every painting technique should be applied in practice, if you do not have special knowledge in the field of interior design or there is no opportunity to purchase expensive tools.

Making walls using airbrushing is a simple procedure, but it requires special equipment that will require a lot of coughing. For such a design of the walls, you will need the presence of a compression apparatus, a hose, as well as a spray gun with replaceable nozzles.It is not recommended to replace the airbrush with aerosol cans used to create graffiti - there is little pressure in these containers, because of which it will not be possible to remove thin color transitions with a smooth structure that can occupy a very large area on the wall in the nursery or in the living room.

A rather complicated technique of decoration is the mural. Not every professional designer even owns this kind of painting. The stencils used to create the panels are very expensive, they are produced using a laser installation in production. It should also be noted that the wall must be specially treated before application.

Pictures are usually tinted in one tone, and have a very thin gradient of the color sample. The contouring is carried out using fine-texture paint to remove background glare that may appear under lighting.

What should not be done when working with wall paintings?

It is best to paint the walls in the children's room, however, the restrictions that apply to the features of wall painting depend on the psychophysiology of the child's vision. First of all, in the children's room there should not be clearly depicted spots with oversaturated bright colors.

Nevertheless, gentle color tones are important to be able to use too. To create a lot of small details, as well as to draw contours that are too geometrically correct, should not be done either because the analytical type of thinking has not finally formed in a small child, and such drawings will have a negative effect on the mind and also vision.

It is forbidden for children to create psychedelic drawings in the rooms, as they will negatively affect the mental health of the child.

How to apply contours

In ordinary cases, paints are selected in order to match the style and plot features of the drawing, but if you do not have minimal experience in design art, it would be better to do the opposite.

Most people prefer to paint walls using acrylic paints: they can be perfectly diluted with water, they can be easily mixed, they are great for smoothly mixing halftones, and if necessary, acrylic paints can be easily washed off a vertical surface. After washing off, no traces and stains remain. It is also recommended to use an acrylic primer. However, there is the possibility of using other options: you can use oil in order to depict a certain relief; using gouache, the artist can shade.

The choice of the original picture is carried out depending on the preferences of the artist himself. In this situation, you will have to take a picture of the wall, which will be used to create the painting, and then use the special program on the computer to apply the selected original pictures to it. Most often, users use the program Adobe Photoshop to accomplish this task. Thanks to this tool, it will also be possible to slightly edit the original photo.
