Where to start drawing
First, you should decide what you want to see as a result. Do not imitate other people's ideas, it is better to find your own. Think about what is missing in your home, feel the mood of the room in which it will hang. Any, at first glance, not even real fantasies, take place. Abstract images will add irresistibility to the interior, and posters in black and white will perfectly fit into modern design.
Having determined the style of work, you can begin to create a masterpiece.
Fabric making
Before drawing a picture, it is necessary to prepare the canvas. To do this, you will need cardboard and directly the fabric on which the image will be. A square or rectangle is cut out of cardboard, the size of the intended work. A fabric with 5 cm allowances is cut out from this blank. Then, the fabric is glued to the cardboard, while it should be well stretched. The corners are cut and carefully glued so that the fabric does not spread.
You can use a simpler version of the base - cardboard painted using a roller with white acrylic paint. It must dry well before applying the pattern on it. This will be the background of the painting.
drawing
Before applying the drawing to the canvas, you should make a sketch on plain paper. It is cut out, applied to the canvas and outlined with a simple pencil. The outline of the drawing must be circled with black paint.
Now you can begin to design the intended picture. Methods can be different:
- paint - the most common, the picture is painted multi-colored paints;
- cereals, coffee, cloth - the elements are located in the picture and fixed with glue.
Paint selection
Any paint can be used: acrylic, watercolor, oil. The main thing is to correctly combine the color shades of paints, then the picture will look impressive.
stencils
A stencil is the ideal tool for creating an image with paint or spray paint. You can also apply a drawing using a stencil using the graffiti technique, which is at the peak of popularity today. The best foundation for this picture there will be cardboard or plywood, which is painted in a contrasting color. Such ornaments look original on a gold or silver background.
The use of herbarium elements instead of a stencil or openwork napkins looks spectacular.

Family photos in covers or frames fit perfectly into any interior, they can be color or black and white, placed in chaotic order or in the same plane. It is possible to arrange photos as modular elements, which creates the impression of a single image.
Textile
Patchwork style masterpieces are easy to obtain using scraps of fabric, braid, ribbon. Such paintings are made on the principle of application. The basis is textiles, dense in quality and not catchy ornament (polka dots, stripes). The elements of the picture, on the contrary, are cut out of bright fabric. Using different colors of shreds, you can get an original picture. And if you put it under glass, it will look stylish and spectacular.
The combination of fabrics of different textures in one picture looks great. And from the material that holds the shape (felt, velveteen, flannel), you can cut out the elements of the picture: a house, an animal, fruits.
These products are ideal for the kitchen or children's room. And for the hall, a silk picture will be a decoration.
Modular pictures

You should start by choosing a picture: a landscape, an abstract image or a photo. Blanks can be printed on paper or canvas in a photo salon, and then cut into separate parts. The paper version is glued to plywood or chipboard, and the fabric version is fixed on the back of the frame using a stapler. On a fabric basis, it is good to work with the batik technique.
If you create a drawing yourself, then it is better to do it immediately on separate elements. To make such a picture you will need:
- colored acrylic paint or waterproof marker - when drawing an image on paper;
- hacksaw;
- ruler;
- simple pencil;
- foam sponge;
- sandpaper;
- brushes;
- expanded polystyrene sheet (1 cm thick).
You should start work by dividing the expanded polystyrene sheet into the intended number of parts. To do this, you need to measure with a ruler and cut it with a hacksaw into modules of the desired size. Then, sand the edges with sandpaper.
Now, all parts are folded into a single canvas and you can begin the process of applying the image itself. First, the background of the picture is made, the sponge is wetted in the paint of the intended shade. When the paint dries, you can proceed to the drawing itself using brushes with paint, a marker, an application.
Creating a three-dimensional picture for the living room

- quilling - creating a pattern from twisted paper.
A picture made of textiles or foam rubber will look creative in the living room; it is easy to make an original multi-layered image from this material. The frame for the picture should be taken simple and decorated according to the interior of the hall.
The simplest way is where plain paper is taken as the basis, on which elements (butterflies, animals, flowers) made of various materials are glued.
If the hall is large, then a plaster image - a bas-relief - will fit perfectly. It is done immediately on the wall and goes well with the overall interior. However, it is rather difficult to draw such a picture. Skill in drawing and working with plaster is required. general recommendation there is no bas-relief for making, some craftsmen create it immediately on the wall, others separately make elements of plaster, which are then inscribed in general image. In the absence of experience, it is better to use a stencil.
Master class: Paintings for the interior

- pencils;
- not thick cardboard or paper white color;
- PVA glue;
- a frame with large sides, a candy box is suitable.

- A rectangle is cut out of paper, the size of a frame.
- A butterfly is drawn or printed on a printer, and cut out.
- The resulting butterfly layout is placed on the prepared white paper and outlined in pencil.
- The most difficult thing is to cut the wings of a butterfly without affecting the body.
- The wings are bent to the top and to the middle, thereby giving volume.
- The blank with a butterfly is glued onto colored cardboard, which will be visible through the bent wings of the butterfly.
- At the end - the picture is placed in a frame and fixed with glue, or with a stapler.
In this way, you can add volume to any drawing.

The technology of creating paintings from leather is similar to the technology from paper. Leather is a material that is easily influenced and you can create whole bouquets of ornaments from it. Improvised tools are the same as when working with paper. Operating principle:
- a sketch is made on paper;
- transferred to the skin and cut out;
- in order for the leather elements to become rounded and voluminous, they must be held over a candle;
- the basis of the picture is made of fabric;
- on it there are elements of a pattern made of leather and are fixed with glue.

If an inkjet printer is used, then varnish must be applied to the pictures, otherwise the image will flow, when using a laser printer, you can do without varnish.
The next stage - the base is cut out of cardboard, the size corresponding to the frame, one drawing is glued to it. The remaining images are cut out, but in different ways. Several copies (let's say a flower) are cut out completely: flower, leaves, stem. Others are just a flower and leaves, and only a flower.
Now the base is cut out for the parts from the laminate, and the elements are glued onto it. Then, already these blanks are glued on common ground. The sides of the substrates should be painted with the color of the image so that they do not stand out.
The final stage is the coating of the painting with several layers of varnish.
DIY paintings for the kitchen from improvised materials

But if you do not count on additional expenses, but you still want to have something original, then it is quite possible to do interesting picture with your own hands.
However, you don't have to be good at drawing. After all, paintings in the usual sense have long been replaced by three-dimensional images on the walls, abstract ideas embodied in a variety of techniques.
DIY fabric paintings
All quality canvases are made on a fabric basis. However modern interpretation such paintings change our view of art.
Modular fabric paintings have gained great popularity. But it's not that hard to make them yourself. In stores now you can find a lot of fabrics with a very beautiful, interesting and bright print.
If you liked one of them, then you can safely buy it and make an author's decor item.
Modular picture
To create such a room decoration as a modular fabric picture, you will need a base in addition to the selected material. It can even be a door from an old cabinet or a piece of chipboard, which could well be lying around somewhere in the garage after repair.
Cut out a few pieces from the base to the size of your fabric and fit the tree with it. Make sure that the fabric is well stretched and does not form wrinkles. Your painting is almost ready. It remains only to attach the hooks for which it will be attached to the wall.
Most often, such paintings consist of three or more modules, which can be either the same size or different. Their shape can also be different.
The most common and easiest to manufacture are square and rectangular elements. But there are round, oval and other forms of modules for paintings. Frames for picture modules in this case are not needed.
Pictures from clothes
Even a T-shirt can decorate your interior. It often happens that on clothes that you have not worn for so long, and their colors are still bright, stains or holes appear. You can not throw away a seemingly spoiled thing, but make an original picture out of it.
Cut out a rectangle with the image from the clothes, glue it on paper and place it in a frame. The photo shows that such paintings depicting cartoon characters Perfectly fit into the interior of the children's room.
Embroidery
In some way, embroidery can also be attributed to fabric paintings. This method of decorating the interior is not new. Even our great-grandmothers had at least one image embroidered with their own hands in the house.
However, to embroider a picture, you still need some skills and patience. This method is not suitable for everyone, but if you are engaged in needlework, then hand-embroidered pictures can say a lot about you as a hostess.
Volumetric paintings
Embossed images on the wall are also very popular as decorative elements in the interior. Volumetric paintings can be made with plaster on the wall even before it is finished.
But such a decoration can only take place when it is not planned to stick wallpaper on the wall.
Note!
The method of making such paintings requires training and a considerable amount of time. Therefore, it is not suitable for everyone.
paper pictures
There is more easy way do volumetric image. For this you will need colored paper or cardboard. Cut out several figures of the same or different sizes from it. It can be, for example, butterflies.
Using pins or double-sided tape, attach them to the wall in a chaotic manner or forming some kind of pattern. Your paper painting will look more impressive if you choose a color that contrasts with the tone of the wall itself.
Butterflies themselves can also be of different colors. Such a picture will sparkle with new colors when artificial lighting is on, so it will look most advantageous in rooms where the light is turned on most often, for example, in the corridor.
If your house has a staircase to the second floor, then kittens will look original in different poses placed on the wall to which the steps adjoin.
Paintings from bushings
Sleeves from toilet paper or paper towels. It is enough to flatten the cylinder a little and cut it into equal parts about 2-3 cm wide.
Note!
In order for the flowers to be brighter and the leaves to stand out in color even before work begins, the bushings can be painted in different colors. The individual parts of the sleeve should be placed in such a way that a flower forms, so that you can compose entire compositions.
Paintings made of artificial flowers
The easiest to make are pictures of artificial flowers or other decorative elements. The main thing here is to beautifully glue the finished parts to the base.
For this technique, you will need a frame, solid material and the actual image itself. Cover a sheet of paper with a cloth, wrapping its edges and gluing with reverse side.
Then, after removing the glass from the frame, insert the base of your picture into it and glue artificial flowers or other details (shells, dry twigs, etc.) to it. At the end, you can decorate the frame with beads.
If you already have a finished canvas, then there are many master classes on how to decorate a picture that has already bothered you and thereby update the interior.
Note!
A flat image of nature or still life can look completely different if you attach a few volumetric details to it.
It can be either an image cut out of paper, or natural materials in the form of dry leaves or even butterflies.
Photo of paintings with your own hands
The modern market for decor and decorative elements is replete with its diversity. Made from the simplest and most affordable materials, craftsmen sell them on various resources. On their own, everyone can make absolutely any detail in order to emphasize the individuality of their home.
And paintings are no exception. You just need to show imagination and be patient. Well, if there is not enough inspiration, it can be gleaned from photo paintings with your own hands in literature or on the net.

The background and pattern should be contrasting: a combination of a silver or golden background with a color pattern will be interesting.
And, it is worth noting interesting patterns dry herbs and leaves can serve to create paintings.

gold and concrete
The most-most favorite color of everyone who undertakes to make a stylish picture with their own hands is gold. You just need to add a little leaf foil or just paint on any, even plain, background. Gold looks good and not too defiant with an uneven gray concrete color.

sound waves
Horizontal jagged lines always resemble some kind of graphics or visualization of sound waves, in general, something important, and therefore it is interesting to look at them. To dilute the dull monochrome of the image, you can, as the author of this master class, add a little (or a lot!) Gold.
Geology
Have you noticed how beautiful cuts of stones are? This is a drawing with a history, a story about changes in climate, relief, and wildlife. You can create your own beautiful rock pattern: just take a vertical canvas and apply horizontal stripes of different widths and different colors on it. Invite the children to draw with you - let them come up with a story fictional world, in which such a beautiful cut could appear.

Peas
Peas - magic pattern: you can draw it on everything, and it will turn out beautifully. You don't even have to have a brush handy - just make a stamp out of a wine cork or the bottom of a glass. If you take a thicker paint (as in this case), the pattern of the prints will resemble the pattern of corals!
colored peas
If you want something more complicated, then make a print with a colored ornament. In this master class, in order for the peas to be even, they are cut out with a special hole punch, and then glued onto the canvas.
Blot
One way to create an abstract drawing is to step back as much as possible and let the paint do the work for you. For example, pour a large blot and then tilt the canvas so that the paint runs picturesquely over it. Such a picture can be made together with the child, you do not even need a brush for this.

Stencil
Checked: any abstract spots look cooler if their edges are very even. Such a contrast effect can be obtained by painting through a stencil, or by pre-reserving part of the canvas with masking tape, or by applying white borders with a stencil later, as in this master class.
Scribble
Make squiggles of any color on canvas of any color for inspiration famous works, or relying only on your own inspiration - there are no borders and laws, doodle art is a very democratic direction! You can, like blogger Michel, create many layers, achieving complex textures, or you can paint with pure color on white. The main thing is to relax your hand and not forget that this is pampering, and you can always paint over an unsuccessful option.
Color swatches
Paintings with careless horizontal lines look like it's a color swatch from a Pantone worker's desk or a fashion makeup artist's palette. The secret to success here, as blogger Julia demonstrates, is to leave enough white space and apply the paint in one stroke. Colors can be anything.
ombre
Gradient, or ombre - very simple and very beautiful effect. You don't even need a master class to repeat it. Two paints - basic and white, brush or roller, five minutes of your time, and the picture is ready. A great solution if your bright apartment has a bright accessory that needs color support.
Vanguard
There is nothing easier than to make a print in avant-garde style. Draw straight lines with tape like in this tutorial and use bright paint straight from the bank. The only advice - do not be too lazy to make a few sketches in advance.
Stamps
Most budget pictures do not even require the purchase of brushes: just take the first object that comes to hand and use it as a stamp. You will be surprised what a stylish thing you can draw with an ordinary glass!
Impressionism
And the last idea of the painting for today is an impressionistic canvas painted in large strokes. Artist Ashley Sturgill shows you how to paint a vibrant painting with gold accents.
Get inspired and experiment, and we will help you with this!
