Paintings are one of the components of the warm and unique atmosphere. And if the paintings are made independently, the emotional “response” from them can be an order of magnitude higher than that of purchased ones. created with your own hands - you will see photos of examples below - thoughtfully thought out and lovingly brought to life, they will give you a good mood for a long time.

Let you not have the talent of an artist, do not shine with creative flair and doubt your taste. Cast aside your doubts. Having a desire to create original paintings for the interior, you can learn some techniques on your own and after a while admire the creation of your own hands.

Looking for an idea for a painting

Inspiration is a fickle and timid thing. Let’s not wait for inspiration from above, but let’s actively search for ideas for future paintings for the interior.

Advice. At the very beginning, it will be useful not to look on the Internet in search of ideas. Trust your inner instinct: what exactly do I need, how would I like my painting to look, what mood should it bring into my life and into the interior of my home? Write down all the thoughts that come to your mind.

Information, having gained a critical mass, will definitely “shoot” with an original idea. And having the main features of what you are looking for, you can choose the appropriate technique for creating paintings with your own hands for the interior and look at the photographs.

Anything can serve as an impetus for creativity: from sewing accessories and beads to family photos and letters from the home archive.

Advice. For any mother, a touching option for interior decor will be a panel collage of children's drawings, appliqués, the first cute doodles and other priceless creations of little hands.

Choosing ways to create a picture for your interior

There are many ways to bring creative ideas to life. Paint 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 a painter has passed you by, you are quite capable of creating abstract paintings for the interior at the “cute and soulful” level. You will need:

oil, acrylic or watercolor paints;
tablet or easel;
canvas;
brushes;
palette and palette knife;
scotch;
solvent.

Making a sketch

The future of the painting that will decorate the interior of your apartment is first drawn with a pencil on the 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 volume.

Determining the light source

To make the image more realistic, draw in dark and illuminated areas. Mark 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 a painting, you need to know that:

to obtain the desired shade, the paints are mixed on a palette and only then applied to the canvas;
on a sunny day, the color of the object has golden shades, on a cloudy day – grayish;
if the subject of the painting is night, the objects will be richer and darker than during the day.

Let's create

Multi-volume works and 6 years of study at the institute are devoted to the art of drawing. At the everyday level, we can give several guidelines in this process:

draw simple objects first;
dilute and mix the paints for your painting with a reserve, because you won’t be able to achieve exactly the same shade again;
Before applying the next layer, the previous one must dry well;
try different techniques, but focus on two or three that you can do;
within three days, an image made with oil paints can be corrected, failed details can be corrected, or they can be completely erased.

Advice. If, when starting the picture, you planned a plot in the style of realism, and by the middle of the process you are surprised by abstractionism, it doesn’t 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 impressive and mysterious.

Bead paintings

Interesting and beautiful paintings that will complement the interior of the kitchen or bedroom are obtained using beads. It’s painstaking, not quick, but relatively simple, and most importantly, it’s good for the nervous system.

HELPFUL INFORMATION: Let's get involved with art: frescoes on the wall in the apartment

You will need:

frame on a solid base;
printed drawing;
beads;
wire or thread;
Super glue;
toothpick.

We begin to create a masterpiece for the interior.

Free the frame from the glass.
Draw the outlines of the frame on the base.
Paste the pattern on which you will lay out the beads.
Use thread or wire to mark the contours of the design, gluing them to the base.
Glue the beads, distributing them tightly, without voids. If this is uncomfortable to do with your fingers, use a toothpick. Apply glue to small fragments, not allowing it to dry.
Let the painting dry completely by placing it vertically for a while. If somewhere the beads are not glued well, they will fall off and you can re-attach them.
Frame your beaded item, hang it on the wall and admire the transformed interior.

Painting for the interior from scrap materials

To make the work of your hands, intended for the interior of your home, interesting, do not limit your imagination to any specific techniques. Combine, break the rules, create your own recipes.

Various decorative and natural materials can be used: leather, fabric, buttons, sequins, quilling elements, wallpaper, dried flowers, sea pebbles, shells and even wool. The painting for the interior made of wool is worth considering in more detail.

Painting with wool

Wool painting is a whole art from an unexpected perspective. This is where you don’t have to worry about your artistic abilities: a sketch of a drawing can also be applied under a stencil. Warmth, depth, volume are just a few of the epithets for such a work. A painting made of wool breathes, lives its own life and brings special warmth to the interior.

You will need:

clamping frame;
non-woven or flannel backing;
scissors, tweezers;
wool of different colors.

Now we begin to paint a picture with wool.

Draw a sketch on the base.
Start laying out the wool with the main background color, and then lay out the wool of other colors in layers. You can apply the wool by pulling it into a strand, plucking it into a “cloud”, or tearing it off. Each method creates a different effect: delicate color transitions, transparency or richness of texture, light haze or dense fluffy balls of fur.
Give wool objects the desired shapes: convexity, texture, layering.

Important! Sometimes apply glass to the wool composition. This way you will evaluate the intermediate result and be able to eliminate shortcomings in a timely manner.

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, you will have to pay a large sum of money for an original work.

But if you don’t expect to spend extra money, but still want to have something original, then it’s quite possible to make an interesting painting with your own hands.

At the same time, 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, the modern interpretation of such paintings changes 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 picture modules are not needed in this case.

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 of 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 in different poses placed on the wall to which the steps adjoin will look original.

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 your home yourself is a matter of honor for craftsmen and craftswomen who prefer an original and unique interior. Modern trends in interior decoration dictate the use of relatively modest and laconic objects.

Do-it-yourself modular paintings are just such minimalist types of decorations. Their simple geometric shape, the absence 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), which are united by a common artistic idea and placed on the wall in a certain order.

As a rule, do-it-yourself modular paintings made from photo wallpaper or other materials, just like factory-made 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.

DIY modular paintings: types

The main material for creating such decor can be used:

wallpaper (regular or photo wallpaper);
photos;
colored paper;
textile;
canvas.

Products drawn by hand on paper or canvas become truly original. However, the ease of making modular paintings opens up wide opportunities even for those who are far from the world of creativity. When using ready-made painted materials, the main skill required is the accuracy of a home craftsman.

The arrangement of elements can be linear, diagonal or abstract. The modules are given completely different shapes: square, round, arbitrary. True, the simplest one for making a house is still 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 areas of walls above sofas, along stairs or between doorways need to be decorated and filled.

The diagram below offers various options for the arrangement of elements of modular paintings, which will also be useful for those who plan to place a large number of photographs or panels.

Paintings on canvas

Do-it-yourself modular paintings, created as an alternative to original canvases, imply the use of high-quality materials and specific technology. The basis for applying the decorative layer is canvas.

Artist stores offer a wide selection of different blanks, including a durable wooden stretcher with canvas stretched over it. The assortment of such stores often depends on the demand for such products, so finding materials in provincial cities can be problematic. The solution is to search and buy everything you need in online stores.

The selected pattern is applied to the finished base using any available technique (oil, pastel). Such modular paintings, made with your own hands, are a real work of art.

In cases where the image cannot be drawn, it can be applied to the canvas using a special printer. A ready-made base with a subframe will not be suitable for this task. You will need to purchase the canvas and mounting for it separately. Canvas printing is a fairly common service offered by many printing houses.

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 canvas with the printed design must be stretched on a stretcher, which means that each element of the composition must be printed separately with a sufficient supply of clean canvas around the edges.

Using scrap materials

Unlike the previous method, it is much easier to make modular paintings from wallpaper with your own hands. As a decorative material, you can use any wallpaper you like, a drawing printed in a printing house, family photographs, 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. The color image is drawn, cut out and attached to the flat base of the stretcher. For fixation, use special glue, double-sided tape or a construction stapler. The disadvantage of using liquid glue is that the paper softens and deforms, so you should experiment in advance on an unnecessary fragment and select a suitable 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, wallpaper cutting should be carried out taking into account hem allowances. An alternative would be to cover the end of the subframe with another material. In this case, the area of the picture coincides with the surface area of the subframe.

DIY modular painting: master class

Fabric is a fairly popular material for making modular paintings. Its color can be any, at the discretion of the owner of the house. For 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 finishing the end, decor).

To cut fabric, it is better to make a pattern according to the size of each fragment. Parts with hem allowances should be cut out carefully, especially if we are talking about material with a geometric pattern. If you allow a distortion, it will be very noticeable and will have to be redone.

The beauty of using fabric is that you don't have to try to match the edges of the future modular picture. This greatly simplifies the work.

The subframe can be wooden or foam. When choosing the second option, you should refuse to use glue, since it will be almost impossible to achieve uniform sizing of the fabric.

Sequence of work

The cut out fragments are placed on the surface of the subframe and fixed with temporary fasteners at several points (pins or thin nails). Then the workpiece should be turned over, allowances should be placed on the wrong side and sequentially attached to the stretcher. You should start with the long sides, then move to the short ones. Lastly, fold and fix the corners.

It is necessary to avoid excessive tension of the canvas, as this will lead to deformation of the pattern. If desired, the ends can be treated with tape, and decorative elements can be attached to the front surface of the painting.

Lastly, the hinges are nailed from the inside out and then the pictures are hung on the wall.

Every resident of an apartment building dreams of diversifying their typical home with a standard layout with unusual decor that none of the neighbors will have.

One of these original ideas is voluminous sculptural compositions on the walls, which can be made independently from paper, fabric, putty, plaster and other materials.

Here are several practical master classes that will allow you to make a three-dimensional painting yourself, adding some zest to the interior.

Master class on making a simple 3D paper painting

An ordinary appliqué made of colored paper, transferred to the wall, becomes a whole original painting or panel, it can even be called a sculpture. Three-dimensional paper paintings are very easy to make, so with minimal creative skills you can create an unusual and unique composition yourself.

To make a 3D painting, you need the following tools and materials:

a frame with high sides (you can replace it with an empty box of chocolates);
paper knife;
a simple pencil, ruler and scissors;
scrapbooking paper with a design or pattern;
a piece of coated paper or thin cardboard;
PVA glue.

Operating procedure:

The first thing you need to do is cut out a “canvas” from coated paper or cardboard on which the elements of the composition will be glued.
Next, you need to draw a diagram of the arrangement of volumetric elements on the “canvas” with a simple pencil.
On a separate piece of paper, draw a sketch of a three-dimensional element for the future painting, for example, a heart. Carefully cut out the resulting template. If you can’t draw beautifully by hand, you can use ready-made templates purchased in a store or printed on a printer.
Attach the heart template to the prepared coated paper and trace along the outline with a pencil. Similarly, in accordance with a well-thought-out scheme, arrange a few more hearts.
Using a paper knife, make cuts along the sides of the drawn hearts, bypassing the top and bottom middle, as shown in the photo.
Carefully bend the two cut out halves of the heart towards each other to give it volume.
Glue thin cardboard with cut-out volumetric elements on top of a sheet of scrapbooking paper so that the bright backing shows through.
All that remains is to place the finished picture in a frame and hang it on the wall.

Using this technique, fluttering butterflies, blooming flowers, and a voluminous dress on a girl look very good.

Creating paintings on the wall using the technique of volumetric decoupage

Volumetric decoupage, or paperthol, is a special technique for creating three-dimensional images directly on the wall. It is quite simple to do, but still requires certain skills and accuracy. A practical master class will tell you how to make three-dimensional paper paintings with your own hands using the three-dimensional decoupage technique.

What you need for work:

paper for paper - it must be thick and heavy;
silicone glue;
polymer clay;
towel and paper napkins;
polyurethane varnish;
scissors, brushes, pencil or felt-tip pen;
tweezers (for working with small details of the composition).

Execution order:

First, outline the diagram of the future painting directly on the wall.
Then cut out your chosen design from decoupage paper or napkin. A very wide workpiece can be divided into two or three parts for ease of gluing.
The elements of the painting are first dipped in warm water and then blotted with a paper towel.
On the wrong side, coat the workpiece or parts thereof with silicone decoupage glue, attach it to the wall and lightly press it with a paper towel. It is necessary to very carefully adjust the joints of the parts of the composition to each other, and also iron the image to avoid the formation of bubbles and remove excess glue.
Next, we proceed to give our picture volume. Cut a copy of the blank glued to the wall into elements. Apply glue to one of the components of the picture, and attach a piece of quick-drying polymer clay to the wall in the place where it should be located, additionally spreading it with glue on top. The processed piece of the painting is lightly soaked in water, blotted with a towel, smeared with glue again and glued to the clay.
After several hours, when the image is completely dry and the clay has hardened, the painting is varnished using a thin paint brush.

In this way, a variety of relief designs are created on the wall. In the photo you can see examples of work done using the volumetric decoupage technique.

Wall painting made from putty

To create three-dimensional paintings from putty on the wall, you need to have certain artistic skills, patience and a huge amount of time. This work is very painstaking. And yet, a three-dimensional painting made and designed with one’s own hands is worth putting such a large amount of work into it.

How exactly you will draw your picture depends on how large and complex the drawing or pattern will be, what application technique is used to create it. The master class will tell you the procedure.

From time immemorial, people tried to decorate their homes, painted animals and their way of life on stone walls, and made various crafts. Modern people are not far removed from their ancestors, and now we want to decorate our home, and certainly with something special, not like everyone else.
