The first examples of wall paintings can be called rock paintings of the Neolithic period. Even leading a primitive lifestyle, man sought not only to capture what he saw around him, but to make these pictures a decoration for his home. Each design was based on only four colors, the pigments of which could be obtained by simple processing natural materials. They mostly depicted hunting, since this process took the lion's share of time primitive man and became the meaning of his life. There are also magnificent examples of early abstractionism: chaotically located handprints on arches and walls, creating a single artistic composition. Man improved, and the skill of painting developed along with him. The real “cradle” of this art form was Ancient Egypt. The frescoes were executed in a laconic manner, which was compensated by the monumentality of the buildings they decorated. The Egyptians were hardworking and thorough people. The secrets of painting compositions and the basics of this science were carefully preserved and passed on to subsequent generations. The central figure of the wall paintings was a person or a deity in his guise. The latter were distinguished from mere mortals by animal heads and paraphernalia that helped them fulfill their destiny (the feather of Maat, the rod of Anubis with a dog’s skin).

The main motive in painting the walls was the relationship between gods and people, as well as battle scenes. The everyday side of life did not fit into the sublime style of drawing of the ancient Egyptians. If she was depicted, it was only for ritual purposes. IN Ancient Rome and Greece began to create more down-to-earth paintings. The deities had a completely human appearance, and everyday life began to be mentioned much more often. Bas-reliefs appeared that combined painting and sculpture. Interior wall painting began to appear more and more often in the homes of wealthy citizens. At the same time, signs began to be used that indicated the prototypes of modern cafes and other public places. In the Middle Ages, church painting began to develop. The interior decoration of temples and cathedrals was impressive in its scale and detail. Nowadays, decorative painted walls do not often decorate the interiors of rooms in ordinary apartments. This trend emerged after photo printing appeared, which made it possible to produce wallpaper with any images. Many people mistakenly believe that only a professional can handle such an exclusive interior solution, and this will inevitably involve additional expenses. In fact, even a novice designer can independently master the basics of this art form. As a last resort, there are templates that will make your work much easier. Let's try to understand the intricacies of the process and choose the optimal technique for a beginner.

Technology and features of wall painting in the interior

By using modern technologies people have learned to imitate many expensive materials and replace labor-intensive handmade to a fast process carried out by machines. The decor is usually standard and stamped. In order not to encounter a similar design in a neighbor’s house, many people create wall decorations in the house with their own hands. Of course, this process will take time and require certain financial and labor costs, but the interior will turn out to be unique and original. That is, among hundreds of rooms with standard decor, your home will become an unusual island of originality. Artistic painting can be used in any room; it is universal. Since there are no limits to human imagination, this method also opens up limitless possibilities for the creator. A drawing made with high quality looks natural and three-dimensional. With its help you can “replay” the incorrect geometry of the room. With the right selection of colors, painting can visually expand the space. Size restrictions and stylistic decision Only you install it yourself. Naturally, this element will become the center of the design picture, so no interior will tolerate “hackwork.” However, it is important to observe moderation even in this beautiful decor. The best option is to design only one, accent wall in room. Its surface must be properly prepared before work.

Preparing the wall for interior painting

The preparatory stage of the surface is conventionally divided into several steps:

Removing a layer of old coating;
Covering cracks and leveling defects. Degreasing and plastering;
Primer after the surface has dried. This layer will provide good adhesion between the paints and the wall;
Final leveling using putty and applying an additional layer of primer.

After the wall has dried, it will be ready for painting.

Paints for painting walls in the interior

Several types of paints are used to paint walls, each of which has a special composition that determines the characteristics of the substance. Gone are the days when artists independently selected and mixed pigments, and recipes were carefully protected from the encroachments of competitors from the art world. So, the following types of paints are used for painting:

Oil-based, where the binder is drying oil or oil. They are gradually becoming a thing of the past, since working with them will require certain skills. The technology of mixing them is also not amenable to everyone. The oil will “live” less on the surface than modern analogues. The reason for this is lime and alkaline salts contained in the wall material. They break down the oil over time. The paints do not like dark rooms and quickly turn yellow without light, but they adhere well to wooden surfaces. The main advantage of the oil is its long drying time. Since this process stretches over several days, the artist can make adjustments to the drawing if necessary.
Tempera (binder - emulsion). The paints dry quite quickly, and several layers allow you to create the effect of a three-dimensional composition. It is recommended to coat tempera with varnish on top to obtain deep shades. The latter, by the way, lighten slightly after drying.
Acrylic (binder - acrylic resins). Modern material, which is popular. The paints dry quickly, do not contain toxic substances and form a durable film on the surface. It is similar to a plastic protective “crust”. Acrylic is not afraid of light or its absence. If the paints are of high quality, the drawing will last at least 10-15 years. In addition to the usual compositions, luminescent and fluorescent additives are used. They also produce mother-of-pearl or metallized acrylic.

Before purchasing expensive paints, take advice from a professional on how to choose them. So, for example, it is recommended to start with acrylic and practice with gouache, which is vaguely similar in work.

Don't forget to purchase a set of brushes. They will be needed to create any paintings except abstract ones. It is recommended to pay more for brushes made of pony or squirrel hair, as they are softer and do not leave marks of fallen hairs on the surface. The kit must contain tools different thicknesses to create individual elements of the composition.

Techniques used to create the painting

The painting can be created in various techniques, among which the most popular and spectacular are noted:

Fresco and alsecco close to it;
Three-dimensional painting (similar to bas-relief) and sgraffito;
Airbrush;
Fluorescent acrylic paintings;
Grisaille. Requires high skill, as it is done in one color different saturation. The technique is similar to graphics.

Separately, it is worth noting the method using stencils. This option is ideal for beginners who are not confident in their abilities and are afraid to put the first touch on the prepared wall.

Airbrush

In this technique, instead of brushes and paints, an airbrush can is used. It sprays the contents over the surface, even its name translates as “drawing with air.” Dyes in airbrushing use liquid and powder, but water-soluble acrylic is more popular. The composition applies to any surface, even wallpaper. You will have to work in a respirator. Few people will be able to master the technique from the first “zilch”. Before painting you will have to practice to get used to in an unusual way. The airbrush allows you to draw even tiny details, thereby providing highly detailed drawings. By the way, even ancient artists used a similar technique, blowing dye from special tubes.

Fresco

The fresco technique has been used for interior decoration since the Middle Ages. The essence of the method is to apply paints to the plaster that has not yet dried. It contains lime, which forms a strong calcium film on the surface of the pattern. The disadvantage of this method is the need to work very quickly. For this reason, it is not recommended to resort to the technique for novice artists who are just mastering the art of painting. Water-soluble paints are used for work.

Alsecco is like a fresco. Paints are applied to an already dry but newly moistened surface.

Painting with fluorescent paints

Fluorescent paints have the peculiarity of glowing in the dark. Use transparent or colored compounds. The first ones are generally invisible during the day, just like the drawing. In the daytime, colored ones look like ordinary paints used for painting, but at night they transform the walls with a pleasant glow. Quite often, drawings made in acrylic or tempera are decorated with fluorescent compounds. They highlight accent elements. The fluorescent composition is absolutely safe for humans; it does not emit toxic substances. These colors are recommended for depicting simple landscapes without an abundance of small details.

Volumetric painting

The volumetric technique combines the process of sculpting with painting. First, plaster or plaster is applied to the prepared surface. Relief elements are formed from the material that has not yet dried. Then, after drying, the “stucco molding” is painted. There is another technique called sgraffito. The method comes from Italy. Several layers of colored plaster are successively applied to the wall. After it dries, they begin to scratch out the design with a special sharp tool. The result is a relief image, which, as practice shows, will last for many years.

Using stencils

Stencils - best help in situations where the imagination draws fantastic landscapes, but hands cannot replicate them. The device is also used when it is necessary to depict many similar elements in order to reduce work time. Stencils are usually made of plastic. The plates are washed after use and are ready for reuse.

Painting with acrylic paints

Acrylic is considered the most convenient material for beginning designers. Its color “assortment” is rich, and its composition is completely safe for humans. Acrylic can be washed off if necessary if you need to correct individual details of the painting. Gradually, after you start getting better at it, it is recommended to use combinations of techniques to improve your skills.

Select a pattern

The drawing must correspond to the stylistic decision and color palette rooms. Special attention pay attention to its location. The perception of the entire interior depends on which wall will be the accent wall. The loft uses “smoky” paintings and graffiti on brick walls. Painting is done using airbrush technique. The romantic Provence style loves plant motifs. Bouquets of wildflowers, peonies, roses, lilies will be the best addition to the interior of the French countryside. In Art Nouveau, masterpieces of painting are often repeated, which at one time decorated ladies' boudoirs and luxurious salons in a manner characteristic of the style. Inimitable Art Deco gives preference to fine ligature and ornate patterns. Japanese style and minimalism, which is close in spirit, allows for thematic for their home country painting: orchids, pagodas, sakura branches. There are practically no restrictions in the ethnic direction. If the interior imitates a bungalow in the tropics, then images of the sea and palm trees will be very useful, but for African motifs in the painting they use trees with characteristic crowns, elephants, and a “dried” landscape. In addition to style, it is worth considering functional purpose premises.

In the living room

In the living room, painting usually corrects imperfections. For example, for a small room it is important to use a drawing with perspective: paths, terraces or paths going into the endless distance. Painting can replace the installation of columns or pilasters, and at the same time ennoble classic design. The fireplace is the cozy center of any room. It is not always possible to establish even its imitation, let alone the original. A painted element on the wall with realistic flames will be a wonderful interior addition.

In the bedroom

The bedroom is used exclusively for relaxation, so every piece of furniture in this room should be designed for comfort and relaxation. Natural motifs usually prevail in painting. Landscapes, panoramas water world, green succulent grass or head bright colors will help you calm down and prepare for sleep soundly. As a rule, the wall above the head of the bed is painted, since in most cases it is an accent wall. In the same room, the ceilings are often decorated in a similar way. It is not recommended to resort to dark colors, which will make the room visually smaller and will put psychological pressure on the owners.

Everyone good day, maybe in the evening or morning. It's not that important. What matters is what I have step by step recipe“how to paint walls with your own hands in an interior or apartment.”

There is a common opinion that painting is a kind of miracle that is given only to a select few, that you either have it or you don’t! It’s strange, because my teacher, who taught me everything I can and know, said: “Lock a monkey with me in the studio for a week, and it WILL draw, and draw well!”

Why am I writing all this, and how can this be related to the topic of painting a wall with your own hands in a room? Yes, very simple! What I'm trying to tell you is that even in art you need a system! And if we draw a parallel with sports, then you will not notice the difference, and here and there there must be a system, a competent sequence of actions that will make it easier to achieve the goal and improve its quality.

And so, this was the introduction to the article “do-it-yourself wall painting in the interior,” which is important to comprehend and understand. And we move on to the first stage.

Choosing a picture to paint a wall with your own hands

I decided to show simple example painting a wall, how to do it yourself, without special skills and achievements in the field visual arts. To do this, I’ll take a picture with small color gradations, a picture that is built on large local spots, blah blah blah…. Yes, this one:

I strongly advise you not to rush to throw yourself on the wall to paint it with a masterpiece that the world has never seen! Take something simpler, smaller. But you will do the most important thing on the way to the skill of painting a wall with your own hands, namely, you will understand the principle and approach to this work. Trust me! After all, you have already read to the next point)!

Preparatory drawing for painting a wall with your own hands in an apartment

Now we'll start getting tricky. In short, we will print this picture and transfer the drawing to the wall. But this is very brief, and here it is necessary to understand in more detail.

At this point, we will put aside all thoughts about the preparatory drawing for painting the wall with our own hands in the apartment and talk about an equally important point in our undertaking.

Preparing the wall surface for painting with your own hands

I would like to immediately note the fact that in this article about painting a wall in the interior, everything I write about is of paramount importance! Otherwise, you risk encountering a violation of the technology, and this in turn will lead to a slowdown in the work process, and subsequently to mechanical destruction of the paint layer of the painting.

So let's come with full responsibility and finish correctly what we have already started.

One of the many questions we constantly hear from customers is how to prepare a wall for painting? The answer is simple: “We level the wall as if it were for painting,” that’s all. And just at this stage of my renovation, and my walls are leveled for painting, I will begin painting with my own hands in a pre-planned place. But, perhaps, your wall has already been leveled and painted a long time ago - this is even better, because you don’t have to read my moral teachings about primer, etc.

Important point! Preparing a wall for painting means:

Give the wall the right geometric shapes by applying plaster and putty
Apply several coats of primer deep penetration

You can check the last, important point by running your palm along the wall:

Please note that dust and whitewash remain on the palm, and this should not happen under any circumstances!

If we consider this point from a logical point of view, then when we apply paint to the wall, dust will remain between the paint and the wall, which will not provide proper adhesion of one to the other, the consequences will be disastrous for our wall painting in the interior.

It is precisely the deep penetration soil that will help us avoid this. Plus, it evens out the absorbency of the wall, which is also important!

Choosing soil

The best and highest quality for all types finishing works was and remains Knauf Tiefengrunt. But it is expensive, and perhaps it is not entirely appropriate for our training. Therefore, I can offer you an analogue that is a fairly high-quality replacement - Dufa Tiefengrunt. Well, if you don’t find any, we will need deep penetration soil from any company. Next is a matter of technique, we simply prime our wall where we will paint it ourselves. And there are thujas too important point, which is worth considering! After priming, don't rush to jump on the wall and paint on it! Let the soil dry thoroughly for at least an hour.

Well, if you don’t find any, we will need deep penetration soil from any company. Next is a matter of technique, we simply prime our wall where we will paint it ourselves.

And thuja also has an important point that is worth considering! After priming, don't rush to jump on the wall and paint on it! Let the soil dry thoroughly for at least an hour.

Transferring the drawing to be painted on the wall

So, next step We must transfer our drawing to the already prepared wall for painting. My approach to work is simple: “In war, all means are fair”! The main thing is the result, and if it is good, no one will care that we cheated a little!

Namely, we will not pick up a pencil, and like real artists draw on the wall, we will simply transfer the existing printout to the wall using the technology that I will describe below:

We will need:

Our listing
Molar tape
Sanguine or any other soft material (coal, sepia sanguine, etc.), which is sold in an art store.
And a sharp pencil.

You and I turn the printed picture over and put it on flat surface. Then take a piece of soft drawing material (sanguine, charcoal, sepia) and rub reverse side drawing how I do it in the picture below:

As a result, you should get the following:

I applied sepia to the back of the wall painting print only where I had the design.

Next, we place our print directly on the wall, look where it will look best, and secure it with masking tape on several sides.

Thus, a layer of soft material remained between the wall and the sheet.

We take a sharpened pencil in our hands and outline each line of our drawing directly on the wall, lightly pressing on the pencil. Try not to let the drawing move, secure it with masking tape properly!

When you and I have drawn everything (make sure of this for sure), we remove our sheet, because we won’t need it anymore, and take a look!

Most accurate perfect drawing transferred without any problems.

So, the preparatory drawing for painting a wall with your own hands in the interior is ready. Let's understand further?

DIY paints for wall painting

I have already written several articles about DIY wall paints. I wrote about better and less expensive ones. In this wall painting I will use paints from this article. I hope you will not be too lazy to look at this article, since I was not too lazy to write this one)

System of colors in painting

In our case, when painting a wall with our own hands in an apartment, we will use a color system. What does this mean and why is it needed?

I'll start from afar. Acrylic paint, on water based, when dried, it darkens significantly and changes color. To be honest, I don’t know exactly what this is connected with, but we have to reckon with it and take it into account! And now, when you paint on the wall with paints, and mix colors on the palette, then, in order to correct something, finish painting, you need to mix the same color, you mix it again on the palette, put a few strokes on the wall, on old layer paints, everything seems to be fine, but after 15 minutes when the last strokes of paint dry, you will see that the color is completely different! You missed the shade! What to do in this situation? How to do this wall painting with your own hands professionally? This is why there is a color system. It consists in the fact that we mix the colors we need in separate containers in advance, as many colors as needed, and then we use only them. And later, if we need to finish painting or correct something, we still have the same paint and the same color! I use food jars from grocery store, they are very convenient because they come with a lid that you can always close, and the paint will not dry for many weeks!

And here, we smoothly approach practice, even if this is still the technical part of it.

First of all I will use light shades and colors, therefore, I will first pour white into the container, and then add paint that has color. I'll add a little more.

I’ll mix it thoroughly and paint it a little on the wall, because only on the wall can we tell if it’s the color we need.

As I wrote earlier, the paint changes color and becomes darker when it dries. Therefore, I suggest you wait until it sets, about 5-10 minutes, and then decide whether this color is right for us.

I will not be harmful, since this is an educational painting, and I am doing it solely for informational purposes. I'll just continue painting the wall.

A small digression. We will have to paint each layer several times, since the paint will not apply evenly the first time. Yes, this is not very convenient, but if you want high-quality painting on your wall, you will have to work here. And be sure to wait until the layer dries before applying a new one on top! Well, I'll continue.

I would like to hope that you understand the principle, and then I will give several photographs of the sequence of painting a wall with your own hands according to the above diagram:

Mix the color (the color we need).

Let's try it on the wall.

If everything is satisfactory, we paint the area we need.

If a straight joint line is required, apply masking tape as shown in the photo.

We continue painting according to the previously described principle.

Important conclusion!

As you can see, in fact, there is nothing complicated about this. And absolutely anyone who has knowledge of consistency in wall painting will be able to feel like a real artist and decorate their interior with an original solution.

If you still have any questions, because I understand that it is impossible to describe everything in the smallest detail, ask them in the comments under this article.

After all, there is still one very important question no answer: “What varnish should I use to paint the wall?” . I will answer it by email to everyone who leaves it in the comments! I promise!

One of the popular ways to decorate a house or apartment is to paint the walls in the interior: photos of exquisite paintings that turn typical rooms into stylish corners can be found in fashion magazines and on the Internet.

Decorating your home with such images is becoming fashionable, but often in the desperate desire to make their home more attractive, ordinary people forget about style and appropriateness. It is wall painting that is considered the very technique that can both spoil and decorate the interior.

Wall painting: exquisite decor for all rooms

Interior painting, according to the designer, is appropriate in almost any room and in any style. The versatility of this decorative technique, as well as its originality, make such images popular in modern design. Artistic painting can change the mood of the room and make it more aristocratic and sophisticated. A high-quality pattern on the wall will remain unshakable for many years, since the techniques used make it possible to create extremely durable coatings.

ADVICE! You should select an image for painting a wall based on the style of the room: pastoral paintings for Provence, pop art for Art Nouveau or abstractionism in a minimalist interior.

Artistic painting of walls in the interior of the apartment - great way creating a unique design. The choice of subjects, colors and finishing features of the painting will help to add its own unique feature to each room. This decoration technique is appropriate in all rooms of the house:

To decorate the living room, a neutral theme will suit all family members. At the same time, it is important to select subjects and motifs that create a positive mood: for example, a seascape or a view of the garden. In addition, plots that can visually expand the space are often used for the living room.

Wall painting in the bedroom is used as often as photo wallpaper. Peaceful sea and mountain landscapes, images of flowers or the starry sky, as well as all kinds of romantic paintings are considered traditional. You should not overuse the abundance of details in the painting in the bedroom - this can have an irritating effect on the inhabitants of the room.

Wall painting in a children's room is no less popular. Instead of standard photo wallpapers with long-familiar cartoon characters, individually designed scenes are used for the children's room, taking into account the child's hobbies and preferences. The standard color scheme for a children's bedroom is gentle pastel shades, calm and expressive. Screaming and bright colors appropriate only in the interior of a teenager’s room.

For kitchen decoration, painting is used a little less frequently due to the usually small size of this room, which does not allow for the most competent use of the wall plane. Most often, the wall in the dining area is painted with an image of a city or summer landscape.

All options for wall painting ideas should be selected only with an experienced designer, since a seemingly attractive picture in a large format on the wall may not look very good. In addition, a specific plot should be selected according to the style of the room, its layout and the furniture that is planned to be placed in the room. Since such a wall inevitably becomes the semantic center of the interior, it should not dominate or suppress.

Types and techniques of wall painting

Wall painting work is carried out by specialists in wet or dried plaster. These techniques differ as radically as watercolor and oil painting.

Experts highlight the following technologies for indoor wall painting:

Fresco is the application of an image on wet plaster, involving the use of water-soluble paints. This method of working with wall paintings is considered quite complex and requires the maximum professionalism of the master, which is associated with the instant drying of the paints and the difficulty of making adjustments to the picture.

Alsecco is a slightly different technique of wall painting, which involves applying an image to a layer of dry plaster. This method is considered not so durable and reliable, but working with a dry surface is more suitable for an artist who lacks self-confidence.

Modern airbrush is suitable for creating three-dimensional and lively images. It is this type of painting that is considered the most realistic, since the features of the tools with which the master works allow the smallest images and details to be applied to the wall.

F ACT! Graffiti, as a street type of airbrushing, can also be used as home painting: abstractions and rough techniques are ideal for decorating modern interiors.

The classic version of painting is to apply an image with acrylic paints to a previously prepared, flat surface. Quick-drying and safe for humans, the paint is ideal for indoor work without causing any problems. In addition, this option can be easily combined with others: for example, complement an acrylic drawing with special phosphor paint that will glow in the dark.

Features of applying the image and caring for painting on the wall

A specialist who professionally paints walls usually works according to the following scheme: creating a project, preparing the wall, drawing a sketch and painting with paints, fixing the image. Strict adherence to the given scheme allows you to achieve maximum result, since there are no unimportant details in this work.

The sketch is selected according to the dimensions and stylistic orientation premises. A specialist’s opinion will help to avoid problems with the inappropriateness of the plot in the interior.
A smooth plastered and sanded surface is covered with a special primer, which not only secures the wall, but also makes the movement of the brush softer.
A sketch is a prerequisite for working on large areas, since the slightest distortion of the lines threatens to spoil the entire impression of the picture.
Paints are applied based on the chosen technique. Preference is given to materials that are as safe as possible, without a strong odor, dry quickly and retain their brightness for a long time.
To fix the image, a matte or glossy varnish is usually used, which allows you to wipe the wall with a damp cloth to remove dust.

You should take care of wall paintings carefully and carefully: to clean the surface, use the most gentle compounds, soft rags and brushes. The varnish layer practically does not wear off, which allows you to maintain the brightness and clarity of the image for many years.

Every person wants his home to be light And cozy, so that it would be nice to come to it after a hard day, relax, relax your body and soul.
