Work is carried out with brushes (squirrel, bristle, synthetic), palette knives, rollers, foam rubber, papers, fabric, tape. An airbrush is not so appropriate here, since its use is more appropriate for painting the surfaces of equipment (phone, car, laptop), but not the interior.

Preparation of walls for painting
Scheme of painting walls with acrylic paints.The quality of surface preparation is very important, since the lifespan of the drawing itself largely depends on this step. If the surface is poorly prepared, the painting may crack over time along with the layer of plaster (putty), peel off, change color or crumble. Preparation of the wall surface for artistic decoration begins with cleaning off layers of the previous coating, pieces of poorly adhering plaster, whitewash and other things that interfere with the creation of the image. At the same time, the wall is examined for cracks. Having removed everything old, they then proceed to degreasing the coating to ensure good adhesion of subsequent layers of plaster to the wall surface. This procedure is done using construction primers or ordinary white spirit. The next step is leveling the plane for the drawing. Classic leveling involves two stages: in the first, significant differences in the surface are removed by applying one or two layers of plaster, in the second, the entire plane is brought to perfect evenness (using finishing putty). After drying, the plaster layers are sanded, removing dust afterwards. When finishing a partition with plasterboard, puttying is performed only at the joints and fastening points of the sheets. When leveling the wall base, there are some nuances that experienced specialists know very well. These include the rules for choosing dry mixes and plasterboard for rooms with varying degrees of humidity. They must be taken into account when working. All the described procedures are performed by a team of construction masters. The final touch, which finally creates the base for applying the drawing, is treating the wall surface with acrylic primer using a brush or roller. The primer creates a strong protective layer that prevents the material from crumbling, strengthening it. Provides excellent adhesion of paint to the base. For rooms with different degrees of humidity, different primers are also used. Return to contents</a>

The application of different foundations in wall interior painting
Depending on the circumstances and requirementsThe customers can provide a different base for painting. The canvas is glued to the wall after the image has been applied to it or mounted together with a stretcher in a place allocated for painting. Painting a wall on a clean plaster layer is a classic version of a base for wall painting. Canvas is convenient when, for some reason, the artist cannot visit the painting site, but the work cannot be delayed. In this situation, a monumental work acquires the features of a mobile one. This is especially valuable not only for the moment of installation, but also for the future (for example, in case of damage to the plaster layer). Then, to repair the wall, the painting is simply removed and placed where needed. But such a base has a small minus - the formation of a large area of joints on the canvases due to the limited width of the canvas. Painting directly on a stationary surface is convenient in all situations and for any premises. The main thing is to take care of the preparation of the base, since then the drawing will not be separated from it.
