A few words about future work

Wall decoration is a laborious process,requiring accuracy and attention. However, the unique decor, which will be the result of the work, is worth the time spent on it. Work can be performed by different methods and tools. The choice depends on which pattern is displayed, what is its volume and what materials are used. Picture 1. A spatula should be put on the contours of the pattern. A beginner should not be taken to create a complex picture. It is better to choose a simple drawing, the details of which can be performed not only with a spatula, but also with hands. With this method it will be easier to master the technique of creating a three-dimensional pattern from putty, because with your hands you can perform on the wall a variety of shapes and shapes. In addition to the hands, you will need:

  • Putty.
  • Spatulas of different sizes and shapes.
  • Primer.
  • Brush.
  • Pencil.
  • Figure 2. Paint on the finished pattern is applied only after complete drying. Quite often, the actions are performed with two spatulas. One is used to apply the mortar to the walls, and the second is used to lay the putty on the main tool and collect the smeared residue. Shpatlevku it is better to choose the one that freezes not fast. In the event of blemishes or inaccuracies arising during the work, there will be enough time to correct them. You can choose a ready-made mortar or use a dry mix. It is better for a home master to use dry mixtures. This choice has several advantages. In case of stopping work for a while, the dry mix can be stored for a long time and does not lose its properties. If necessary, a small amount of putty may be mixed and immediately used. With regard to the choice of primer, then for rooms with high humidity (kitchens, bathrooms), you need to choose a solution that can protect against mold. Shpaklevku for such premises also need to choose the appropriate. Back to contents</a>

    Substrate preparation

    The aging effect can be achieved withhelp craquelure. Before the start of the creative process, you need to prepare a surface on which it is planned to arrange the future picture. The wall should be flat, plastered and treated with a primer. Putty can be applied only after the primer has dried completely. For the future drawing it is necessary to prepare the substrate, that is, to apply a layer of putty on the wall. If a dry mix was chosen, the solution is first prepared. Capacity for this is better to choose a small size. Its width should not interfere with the free passage of the spatula. Putty powder is poured into the container and in small portions water is added to it. The solution is thoroughly mixed. Figure 3. Details of the pattern are drawn with a special felt-tip pen. The result is a dough-like homogeneous mixture. It should be thick enough to not drip off the instruments during operation. Using a wide spatula, the solution is applied to the wall. For convenience, it is better to use two tools. The thickness of the putty should not exceed 1-1.5 mm. The sketch of the drawing can be applied to the wall only after it has dried. It can be a stem with leaves, small flowers, butterflies, simple ornament. Those who can draw can picture a more complex drawing. However, a beginner master should not choose an image with a lot of details, so as not to encounter difficulties when applying putty. You can draw a sketch of the drawing with a pencil or transfer the finished image with a copy. Back to contents</a>

    Drawing a picture

    Before you draw a picture on the wall, it's best topractice on a piece of thick paper or on cardboard. When the hands remember all movements, you can go to the reproduction of the final version on the wall. To create smooth lines and a smooth surfacesmall emery is used. If you plan to depict a stem with small flowers, then there are two ways. In the first case, the spatula is located next to the line denoting the pattern. Then it should be smoothly moved along it, applying a contour of the pattern. The tool needs to be held at an angle to the wall so that the solution can drain off it along the pencil line, forming a small roller (1). All excess solutions that appear on the other side are removed by the second tool. The finished stem must be allowed to dry (2). In a similar way, all other details of the drawing are applied. A drawing of putty can be applied in one more way, pumping shpaklevku to pencil lines. A spatula with a solution is located parallel to the lines, and the motions are directed perpendicular to them, as if applying shpaklevku small strokes. Surplus should be removed to the second tool. It can also be involved in the formation of the stem. To do this, you need to move it along the pencil lines. This method is also suitable for the formation of petals. After the picture has dried completely, you can paint it with colors. Back to contents</a>

    Other ways to decorate the walls

    You can decorate the walls of your house with paintings of putty in other ways. For example, draw a drawing with a syringe. This method is good because it is possible to repeat exactly the contours of the selected pattern. For drawing of small details it is possible to usesyringe without needle. First, a syringe is prepared: the needle is removed, the piston is pulled out. Putty for this method should have a more liquid consistency than when using a spatula. The cavity of the syringe is filled with a solution, and the piston is inserted into its place. The mixture is gently squeezed out by the piston, and the syringe moves along the line of the sketch. First, the main lines of the drawing are drawn, and then the details are drawn. The finished picture should be completely dry. Then the background is applied. To do this, diluted water-based paint and applied to the picture with a soft sponge. The background color can be any. After completely drying it, you can start drawing small details. Do it better with small brushes. You can use the stencil to make a three-dimensional drawing on the wall. It can be purchased in ready-made form or made independently. To do this, transfer the selected pattern to a sheet of cardboard and cut out the stencil. Apply the adhesive tape to the wall. Using a spatula, the slots are carefully filled with putty. For working with stencils, it is better to choose a gypsum mixture. A simple drawing can be applied to a wall with the help ofstencil, which can be bought in the store or made independently. When the putty starts to dry out, but does not become firm, you can carefully remove the stencil. A small trowel or other suitable tool to fill the cavities in the pattern. Then sprinkle the relief with water and use a small brush to simulate it, leveling the lines. When the pattern is completely dry, its surface is treated with sandpaper and a scraper to remove any irregularities and rips. To give strength to the surface of the picture, it should be treated with a primer. After that, the entire wall and pattern is covered with two layers of acrylic paint. Then the pattern is drawn with a special oil felt pen or thin brush (3). The wall can be decorated with a very special relief. Its essence is reduced to the creation of three-dimensional contours of the figure on a flat surface. To implement this idea on the wall you need to make a deepening. Then its surface is plastered flush with the rest of the plane. The pattern is done immediately. By its contour, indentations are cut. A voluminous picture will make any wall an ornament of the whole house. Excellent result and enthusiasm of others will be compensation for the time spent.
