Paintings from different materials. Do-it-yourself three-dimensional painting

Good day to all. Recently I went to visit a friend and saw on her wall a beautiful picture made of sequins. I really liked it and I wanted one too. I went to the store, looked at the pictures, at the prices. It turned out to be a little expensive. Then I decided to make a painting with my own hands, the kind that I need and without spending a lot of money. I want to show you what I did.

To make it I needed:
- Styrofoam the right size or cardboard lids.
- Ruler.
- Wallpaper.
- Knife.
- Scissors.
- Glue (VPA, moment).
- Sequins.
- Beads.
- Pencil, felt-tip pen.
- Free time, patience and imagination.

I saw the pictures difficult work, but since I have no experience, I decided to do something simpler first. And so, I took polystyrene foam (refrigerator packaging, although a cardboard box will do). Using a ruler and pencil, I drew a square of the required size and, armed with a knife, cut it out.

Then I covered it with wallpaper. You can take plain wallpaper (or fabric of any texture). I chose one with a not bright pattern.


The next step was to apply the selected pattern. I wanted to draw a couple in love, since the day before was Valentine's Day. First, I penciled the sketch onto the canvas, and then outlined it with a black felt-tip pen for better visibility.
If you have problems with drawing, you can transfer the drawing you like using carbon paper. I took the subjects of the paintings from the Internet.


Taking glue and sequins, I began to glue them one after another end-to-end on all the competition lines, except for the thin lines on the face (lips, eyes, eyebrows, ears).


I glued beads to the thin lines in the same way.


This is how the picture turned out. I really liked it, so I decided to make two more paintings with different drawings.


Here's another one big picture, made from cardboard using sequins.


Despite the fact that the sequins are black, they shimmer beautifully when touched. sunny color. With such paintings you can decorate not only the living room of your home, but also the bedroom or kitchen. They will a good gift to relatives and friends for any occasion. You just need to choose the desired subject for the picture.
Goodbye, see you again.

Every interior should have its own flair, and often the simplest and most elegant option to bring uniqueness to a room is a painting.

But how to find something that will decorate your bedroom, living room or other room? Most likely, for the original work, you will have to pay a large sum money.

But if you don’t expect additional expenses, but still want to have something original, then it’s quite possible to do interesting picture with your own hands.

However, it is not at all necessary to be able to draw well. After all, paintings in the usual sense have long replaced three-dimensional images on the walls, abstract ideas embodied in a variety of techniques.

DIY fabric paintings

All high-quality canvases are made on a fabric basis. However modern interpretation Such paintings change our view of art.

Modular fabric paintings have become very popular. But making them yourself is not so difficult. In stores now you can find a lot of fabrics with very beautiful, interesting and bright prints.

If you like one of them, then you can safely buy it and make an original piece of decor.

Modular picture

To create a room decoration such as a modular picture made of fabric, you will need a base in addition to the selected material. It could even be a door from an old cabinet or a piece of chipboard that could easily be lying around somewhere in the garage after renovation.

Cut out several pieces from the base to the size of your fabric and cover the tree with it. Make sure that the fabric is well stretched and does not form wrinkles. Your painting is almost ready. All that remains is to attach the hooks with which it will be attached to the wall.

Most often, such paintings consist of three or more modules, which may be 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 painting modules in in this case Not needed.

Paintings from clothes

Even a T-shirt can decorate your interior. It often happens that stains or holes appear on clothes that you have not worn for very long, and their colors are still bright. You don’t have to throw away a seemingly damaged item, but make an original painting out of it.

Cut out a rectangle with an image from your clothing, glue it onto paper and place it in a frame. The photo shows that such paintings depicting cartoon characters will fit perfectly into the interior of a children's room.

Embroidery

In some ways, embroidery can also be classified as fabric paintings. This method of interior decoration is not new. Even our great-grandmothers had at least one hand-embroidered image in their house.

However, to embroider a picture, you still need some skills and patience. This method is not suitable for everyone, but if you do needlework, then hand-embroidered pictures can say a lot about you as a housewife.

Three-dimensional paintings

Relief images on the wall are also very popular as decorative elements in the interior. Three-dimensional paintings can be made with plaster on the wall even before its finishing.

But such decoration can only take place if there are no plans to stick wallpaper on the wall.

Note!

The method of making such paintings requires training and a considerable amount of time. Therefore, it will not suit everyone.


Paper paintings

There is an easier way to make a three-dimensional image. For this you will need colored paper or cardboard. Cut out several figures of the same or different sizes from it. These could 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.

The butterflies themselves can also be different colors. Such a picture will sparkle with new colors when artificial lighting is turned 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

Rolls of toilet paper or paper towels will help you create voluminous decor with images of flowers and leaves. It is enough to flatten the cylinder a little and cut it into equal parts approximately 2-3 cm wide.

Note!

To make the flowers brighter and the leaves 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 so that a flower is formed, so it is possible to create entire compositions.

Artificial flower paintings

The easiest to make are paintings made from artificial flowers or other decorative elements. The main thing here is to beautifully glue the finished parts onto the base.

For this technique you will need a frame, a plain material and the image itself. Cover a sheet of paper with fabric, wrapping its edges and gluing it on the back side.

Then, having first removed 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. Finally, 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 painting that is already boring to you and thereby update the interior.

Note!

A flat image of nature or still life can look completely different if several three-dimensional details are attached to it.

This can be either an image cut out of paper or natural materials in the form of dry leaves or even butterflies.

Photos of paintings with your own hands

Decorating the interior with paintings made with your own hands has become popular. Placing them on the walls of your apartment will add comfort, individuality and breathe a piece of your soul into the room.

Where to start drawing

First, you need to decide what you want to see as a result. You shouldn’t imitate other people’s ideas, it’s 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 have their place. Abstract images will add irresistibility to the interior, and posters in black and white will fit perfectly into modern design.

Having determined the style of work, you can begin to create a masterpiece.

Fabrication

Before applying the drawing, it is necessary to prepare the canvas. To do this, you will need cardboard and the fabric itself on which the image will be. A square or rectangle is cut out of cardboard, the size of the intended work. Fabric is cut out from this blank with an allowance of 5 cm. Then, the fabric is glued to the cardboard, and it should be stretched well. The corners are cut and carefully glued so that the fabric does not unravel.

You can use a simpler version of the base - cardboard painted with a roller with white acrylic paint. It must dry thoroughly before painting is applied to it. This will be the background of the picture.

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 outlined with black paint.

Now you can begin to design the planned picture. There can be different methods:

  • paint - the most common, the design is painted with multi-colored paints;
  • cereal, coffee, cloth - the elements are placed in the picture and secured with glue.

Paint selection

You can use any paint: acrylic, watercolor, oil. The main thing is to combine correctly color shades colors, then the picture will look impressive.

Stencils

A stencil is an ideal device for creating an image using paint or a can of spray paint. You can also apply a design using a stencil using the graffiti technique, which is at the peak of popularity today. The best base for this painting would 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 impressive.

Photo printing

A modern and stylish interior can be created if you use paintings ordered from a printing workshop. Such workshops produce high-quality prints on any surface.

Family photographs in covers or frames fit perfectly into any interior; they can be color or black and white, placed in a chaotic order or in one plane. It is possible to arrange photographs as modular elements, which creates the impression of a single image.

Textile

Masterpieces in the patchwork style can be easily achieved using scraps of fabric, braid, and ribbon. Such paintings are made using the appliqué principle. The basis is textiles, dense in quality and not flashy in design (polka dots, stripes). The elements of the picture, on the contrary, are cut out of bright fabric. Using different colors of scraps, you can get an original picture. And if you place it under glass, it will look stylish and impressive.

The combination of fabrics of different textures in one picture looks great. And from materials that hold their shape (felt, corduroy, flannel), you can cut out elements of the design: a house, an animal, fruit.

These products are ideal for the kitchen or children's room. And a silk painting will be a decoration for the hall.

Modular pictures

Modular paintings are several paintings with a similar plot or one drawing divided into separate elements that can be of different sizes. Currently, they are popular as they fit perfectly into the interior of any room. You can make them yourself and arrange them at your discretion.

You should start by choosing a picture: landscape, abstract image or 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 attached to back side frame using a stapler. It is good to work on a fabric base using the batik technique.

If you create a drawing yourself, then it is better to do it right away on individual elements. To make such a picture you will need:

  • colored acrylic paint or waterproof marker - when drawing an image on paper;
  • hacksaw;
  • ruler;
  • a simple pencil;
  • foam sponge;
  • sandpaper;
  • tassels;
  • polystyrene foam sheet (1 cm thick).

You should start working by dividing a sheet of polystyrene foam into the intended number of parts. To do this, you need to measure it with a ruler and cut it into modules of the required size with a hacksaw. Then sand the edges.

Now, all the parts are put together into a single canvas and the process of applying the image can begin. First, the background of the picture is made, the sponge is wetted in the paint of the intended shade. When the paint has dried, you can begin the drawing itself using brushes with paint, a marker, and applique.

Creating a three-dimensional painting for the living room

Three-dimensional paintings look impressive in the living room; they can be made to suit any room design. Options are available: leather, paper, and even coffee and pasta. The following technique is perfect for making such paintings:

  • decoupage - decorating objects;
  • quilling - creating a design from curled 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 picture frame should be taken simple and decorated according to the interior of the room.

The easiest way is to use plain paper as a basis, onto 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 directly on the wall and goes well with the overall interior. However, making such a picture is quite difficult. Skills in drawing and working with plaster are required. General recommendation There is no method for making a bas-relief; some craftsmen create it directly on the wall, others separately make elements from plaster, which are then included in the overall image. If you have no experience, it is better to use a stencil.

Master class: Paintings for the interior

An unusual and modern solution is to decorate the interior with a 3D painting. They are fun to make and look impressive. Eat different ways make similar products.

3d paper paintings

One of the easy ways is paper applique. To work you need:

  • knife, scissors;
  • pencils;
  • not thick cardboard or paper white;
  • PVA glue;
  • frame with large sides, a candy box will do.

Step-by-step actions, using the image of a butterfly as an example:

  1. A rectangle the size of a frame is cut out of paper.
  2. A butterfly is drawn or printed on a printer and cut out.
  3. The resulting butterfly model is placed on prepared white paper and outlined with a pencil.
  4. The most difficult thing is to cut out the wings of the butterfly without touching the body.
  5. The wings bend to the top and to the middle, thereby adding volume.
  6. The blank with the butterfly is glued onto colored cardboard, which will be visible through the folded wings of the butterfly.
  7. At the end, the picture is placed in a frame and fixed with glue or a stapler.

This method can add volume to any drawing.

3d leather paintings

To create a 3D picture you don’t need expensive leather, pieces from old boots, bags, gloves, raincoats will do, but it is important that it is natural. To obtain the desired color you can use acrylic paint.

The technology for creating paintings from leather is similar to the technology from paper. Leather is a material that can be easily manipulated and whole bouquets of ornaments can be created from it. The tools at hand are the same as when working with paper. Operating principle:

  • a sketch is made on paper;
  • transferred to the skin and cut out;
  • so that the leather elements become rounded and voluminous, they must be held over a candle;
  • the base of the picture is made of fabric;
  • leather pattern elements are placed on it and secured with glue.

You can use buttons, dried plants, and beads as additional decoration.

Multilayer 3d paper painting

Multilayer 3D paper paintings look beautiful; they are not difficult to make. You should prepare:

  • deep frame;
  • cardboard;
  • album sheets - for copies;
  • Printer;
  • glue;
  • acrylic paint;
  • scissors,
  • acrylic lacquer;
  • laminate backing.

Having chosen a drawing, we get to work. It’s good if the picture consists of several elements that can be cut out. You must make at least 10 copies on landscape sheets. If you use an inkjet printer, then you need to apply varnish to the pictures, otherwise the image will bleed; when using a laser printer, you can do without varnish.

The next stage is to cut out a base from cardboard, the size corresponding to the frame, and glue one drawing 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 the flower and the leaves and just the flower.

Now the base for the laminate parts is cut out, and the elements are glued onto it. Then, these blanks are glued to a common base. The sides of the substrates should be painted in a color that matches the image so that they do not stand out.

The final stage is coating the painting with several layers of varnish.

DIY paintings for the kitchen from scrap materials

The intended design is applied to the resulting canvas. Now you need to spread out the grain or cereal; if necessary, you can paint it in desired color. After completing the drawing, you should glue all the elements to the canvas. This can be done using regular glue, but it is more convenient to use a silicone gun.

Crafts from cutlery for the kitchen

Spoons and forks made of metal coated with enamel are sewn onto the prepared base. This still life will fit perfectly into the interior of any kitchen.

If you take plastic forks and spoons, you can create a more original picture. Plastic objects easily stick to any surface and are easy to paint.

The part on which the fabric will be placed is coated with glue, and the fabric is applied to it. It is pressed into the previously pressed outline, the excess fabric is cut off with scissors, and the threads of the shred are hidden inside using a ripper.

Leather products

Although leather is quite easy to process, painting is not so easy to handle. This requires an understanding of working with the material, knowledge of the basic properties of leather, considerable patience and perseverance. Therefore, it is recommended to first try to make small test compositions, and then move on to large-scale, fundamental works.

The most commonly used color palette in paintings made from genuine leather is brown-beige. But some daredevils are happy to use green, red, orange, and yellow scraps.

The main advantages of leather images:

  • Exclusivity – due to the originality of the material, it is impossible to repeat the picture exactly the same;
  • Relief – depth, elevations, highlights and shadows create an unsurpassed 3D effect, thanks to which the picture “comes to life”;

  • When creating a picture for the interior with your own hands, it is best not to be colorful with colors, but to use a tone that matches the design of the kitchen. You should also always adhere to the style of the overall interior design concept. For example, in a classic room, leather goods and linens painted in oil are acceptable.

Color spectrum: correct principles combinations of shades

  • For convex shapes, you should always use alternating light and dark tones. Moreover, oversized dark volumes on a light plane look best. The principle of tandem of glossy and matte materials is approximately the same: matte should protrude above the glossy. This way, greater depth of the paintings and maximum 3D effect are achieved.
  • At self-production paintings, be it appliqué or drawing, it is important to observe the basic compositional principles, dynamics and balance.
