Choosing ways to create a picture for your interior
Turning creative ideas into reality different ways. Draw with watercolors, acrylics, paint in oils, create panels from leather, thread or wool, make posters from photos - the choice is yours. Each of the paintings will be interesting and unique in the interior.
Painting with paints
Even if the talent of the painter has bypassed you, creating abstract paintings for the interior at the “cute and sincere” level is quite within your power. You will need:
- oil, acrylic or watercolor paints;
- tablet or easel;
- canvas;
- brushes;
- palette and palette knife;
- scotch;
- solvent.
Sketching
The future of the picture that will decorate the interior of your apartment is first drawn with a pencil on canvas: a composition is built, small elements and main 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 dimension.
Determine the light source
To give the image realism, draw dark and illuminated areas. Outline where and at what angle the light will fall on the objects, where the shadow, penumbra and highlights will be located.
Choosing colors
In order to choose the right colors for the picture, you need to know that:
- to obtain the desired shade of paint is 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 - grayish;
- if according to the plot in the picture it is night, the objects will be richer and darker than during the day.
We create
Multi-volume works and 6 years of study at the institute are devoted to the art of drawing. At the household level, several guidelines can be given in this process:
- draw simple objects first;
- dilute and mix paints for your painting with a margin, because you won’t be able to achieve the exact same shade again;
- before applying the next layer, the previous one should dry well;
- try different techniques, but focus on two or three that you can handle;
- within three days image completed oil paints, you can correct, correct failed details or erase them completely.
Advice. If, starting a picture, you planned a plot in the style of realism, and by the middle of the process you are surprised at abstractionism, it does not matter. Urgently pretend that this is what you intended from the very beginning. Abstract creations are merciful to the mistakes of beginners, and in the interior they look spectacular and mysterious.
Paintings with beads
We begin to create a masterpiece for the interior.
- Free the frame from the glass.
- On the basis, outline the contours of the frame.
- Glue the pattern on which you will lay out the beads.
- With a thread or wire, mark the outlines of the pattern by gluing them to the base.
- Glue the beads, distributing it tightly, without voids. If it is inconvenient to do this with your fingers, use a toothpick. Apply glue to small fragments, preventing it from drying out.
- Let the painting dry completely by placing it vertically for a while. If somewhere the beads are stuck badly, it will fall off and you can reattach it.
- Decorate a beaded product in a frame, hang it on the wall and admire the transformed interior.

Do-it-yourself modular paintings are just such minimalist types of jewelry. Their simple geometric shape, lack of frames, glass and other unnecessary details, allows you to create them yourself.
What are modular paintings
As the name suggests, these decorative elements consist of several separate parts(modules) that are united by a common artistic idea and placed on the wall in a certain order. 
As a rule, do-it-yourself modular paintings from photo wallpapers or other materials, like factory products, have a certain thickness. That is, they form a three-dimensional composition. The depth of individual modules can be the same (most often) or different. In the second case, the difference in volume allows you to create the effect of a three-dimensional image.
Do-it-yourself modular paintings: types
As the main material for creating such a decor, you can use:
- wallpaper (regular or photo wallpaper);
- photos;
- colored paper;
- textile;
- canvas.
Really original are products painted by hand on paper or canvas. However, the ease of making modular paintings opens up great opportunities even for those who are far from the world of creativity. When using ready-made painted materials, the main necessary skill can be called the accuracy of a home master.
The arrangement of elements can be linear, diagonal or abstract. The shape of the modules is given completely different: square, round, arbitrary. True, the simplest for making a house still remains rectangular.
How to place finished products
When thinking about how to make a modular picture with your own hands, you should think about its placement in advance. As a rule, empty sections of walls above sofas, along stairs or between doorways need decoration and filling.
The diagram below shows various options arrangement of elements of modular paintings, which will also be useful to those who plan the placement a large number photographs or panels. 
Paintings on canvas
Do-it-yourself modular paintings, created as an alternative to original canvases, imply the use of quality materials and specific technology. The canvas serves as the basis for applying the decorative layer.
In stores for artists presented wide choose various blanks, including a durable wooden stretcher with a canvas stretched over it. The assortment of such stores often depends on the demand for such products, so find materials in provincial towns can be problematic. The way out is to search and buy everything you need in online stores.
The selected drawing is applied to the finished base using any available technique (oil, pastel). Such modular paintings, made by hand, are a real work of art.
In the event that the image cannot be drawn, it can be applied to the canvas using a special printer. For this task, a ready-made base with a stretcher will not work. You will need to purchase separately a canvas and a mount for it. Canvas printing is a fairly common service that many printers offer.
An important point: before you make a modular picture with your own hands, you should carefully plan the location and boundaries of each of its elements. The printed canvas must be stretched on a stretcher, which means that each element of the composition must be printed separately with a sufficient margin of clean canvas around the edges.
Use of improvised materials
Unlike the previous method, do-it-yourself modular paintings from wallpaper are much easier to make. As a decorative material, you can use any wallpaper you like, a drawing printed in a printing house, family photos, portraits of your favorite film artists or decoupage cards. 
For such paintings, you will also need a stretcher with chipboard or plywood. You can buy it or make it yourself. color image is drawn, cut and attached to the flat base of the subframe. For fixing, use a special glue, double sided tape or a construction stapler. The disadvantage of using liquid glue is the softening and deformation of the paper, so you should experiment in advance on an unnecessary fragment and choose the right material.
Before you make a modular picture with your own hands from photo wallpaper, you need to make sure that the finished elements are correctly matched on the wall and create a single plot. Therefore, cutting wallpaper should be carried out taking into account allowances for hem. An alternative would be to glue the end of the subframe with another material. In this case, the area of the picture is the same as the surface area of the subframe.
Do-it-yourself modular painting: master class
A fairly popular material for the manufacture of modular paintings is fabric. 
Its color can be any, at the discretion of the owner of the house. To work, you will need the following tools and materials:
- stretcher;
- decorative fabric;
- scissors;
- meter or tape measure;
- glue or construction stapler;
- additional elements (fasteners for hanging, tape for end processing, decor).
For cutting fabric, it is better to make a pattern according to the size of each fragment. Cut parts with hem allowances should be carefully, especially if we are talking about material from geometric pattern. If you allow a bias, it will be very noticeable, you will have to redo it.
The beauty of using fabric is that you do not have to try to match the edges of the future modular picture. This greatly simplifies the work.
The subframe can be wood or foam. When choosing the second option, it is worth abandoning the use of glue, since it will be almost impossible to achieve uniform gluing of the fabric.
Sequence of work
The cut fragments are placed on the surface of the stretcher and fixed with temporary fasteners at several points (pins or thin nails). Then the workpiece should be turned over, allowances should be made on the wrong side and sequentially attached to the stretcher. You should start with the long sides, then move on to the short ones. IN last turn fold and fix corners.
Excessive stretching of the canvas must be avoided, as this will lead to deformation of the pattern. If desired, the ends can be processed with tape, and decorative elements can be attached to the front surface of the picture. 
Last of all, loops are nailed from the inside and then the pictures are hung on the wall.

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 to 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 how to paint bright picture with a golden accent.
