Like finding the right stones?
It is better to choose the right material in the summer. And those who have already tried the bait of power in drawing for a stone, perfectly know why. In the summer, some of us go to the sea, but choose not beautiful and inviting sandy beaches, but those places where to eat the stone. This is a real"Klondike"for the sake of painters. It is here that the matter that we need is literally lying around with its feet literally. The importance of sea pebbles is that it is so smooth that it is possible to work with it even without the preparatory primer with PVA glue
The pebbles suitable for our sake are oval or round in shape. In most cases they are light, have a smooth appearance and a flat base. If you met a fascinating unit, the appearance of which is not unreasonably ordinary, you should not abandon it. It's enough to think up an icon, who will rather answer this form, and will perfectly lie down for it.
The flat base of the stone allows him to master a very stable arrangement for every surface. For the sake of the lawn, this property is not unreasonably burning, however, if you need to decorate the smooth surfaces quite enough, then a specifically flat appearance of the stone is needed. Armed with a creative approach, you can extract and other pebbles, for example, porous. Painted in a yellowish paint, they will prompt pieces of cheese.
Which, if there are any suitable pebbles? For this, it is necessary to prepare a container (pan or basin) of the appropriate size, pour dust into it and dip it to keep the shape. Do in the sand furrow of the form that you wished to give to the future stone. Furrows must be lined with transparent polyethylene. This rock, made of cement, perfectly fits into the surrounding view. He did not begin to paint accurate, although it is not difficult to do it
Mix the cement. If you want to get a rock of a certain color, you can add the deserved pigment to the cement. Then it is allowed to lay out the acquired solution in cellophane, and then tie the film. In the whole economy inside the rock is allowed to perform hollow. Probably, the importance of choosing pebbles in accordance with the size, in order to excuse them with two delightful snakes, but it is much easier to execute them with your own hands.
While the future rock is not dry, its appearance should be asleep for 10-15 cm with sand, in order to avoid cracking. A great stone is better to operate nearby through places of its installation. Then the final drying of the cement, proceed to its painting.
Picking the right colors Brushes and paints are a significant element of the future work. Certainly, you have heard that acrylic paints are used for the sake of painting stones. And why specifically acrylic? After all, to eat more and gouache, painting and alkyd paint. Acrylic paints possess an abundance of necessary parameters: they perfectly cover the stones, they are not washed off with water, they do not burn out and they transfer the temperature regime differently
We prefer acrylic for the following reasons:
these paints dry out and transform into an elastic coating that does not crack;
acrylic perfectly lays down for a look, without slipping and not soaking in;
the colors of these paints differ in unusual brightness, they do not burn out for the sun, they do not fade with time and are not washed off with water
The acrylic coating is non-toxic and odorless.
Flexible peel, which acrylic paints form for the surface of the stone after drying, rather high strength, resistant to mechanical influences, does not react for overestimated humidity and temperature changes, does not dissolve in water.
Acrylic paints are created both by foreign and Russian manufacturers. Must choose those who desire us not only with the highest quality, but at an affordable price. Gamma paints are great for the first works of newcomers: they are cheap, but all are benign, and their talent to darken and then drying out must be considered simple
We consider quite a few options:
Beautiful acrylic brand"Gamma"(Our homeland). This is a cheap matter, who is allowed to take out novice artists. Its feature will be that the image then drying becomes darker for a couple of colors.
Glossy colors"Decola"(Our homeland). Due to their own richness and brightness, they are perfect for the image of flowers and plants. The glossy look allows the picture to look more beautiful, but it creates unnecessary glare that is not necessary for animal images.
Russian products"Ladoga"and"Sonnet"- a brilliant example of the usual ratio of properties and prices. Thanks to the overestimated adhesion, the colors of the Ladoga series are perfectly fixed for the stone, they tolerate a change in the temperature conditions. Acrylic of both series becomes darker after drying. In order to make additional effects, it is permissible to successfully combine the application of matte paints"Ladoga"and"Sonnet"and glossy"Decola."
Pebeo paints of joint production of France and China and creamy acrylic"Vivace"are materials of a higher level, which are used by true painters, hence they should be found in art salons. They are not only ordinary in their work, they do not change their own color after drying.
Paints"Maimeri"and"Plaid"are not so simple to find, well, they are worth more than the past. It should be kept in mind that these brands also sell materials for the sake of works according to glass, metal and plastic. We need those for whom it is written"for work according to cement or stone."If the rock after enough to be in the garden, then acrylic is forced to exist for the sake of external work.
South American products"Plaid FolkArt", most likely, will have to be banned through the Web. The pictures that she creates will not darken. Apart from the tremendous color palette in this series are mediums - property, through which it is allowed to make various special effects.
The discharge of"Polycolor"paints"Maimeri"(Italy) have solid advantages. If you find them and you are not scared by the value, you will get chances of using them to make something truly unique.
It seems you have already made sure, paint to eat, they are abundant. A separate painter through a beginner before a specialist can be able to choose one that he likes. Italian paints Polycolor make up a huge series, which includes an abundance of very different colors of good quality, durability and brightness
Which brushes are better suited?
If paint is difficult to select: it is allowed to wander in various titles and bribe, in the end, something is not right, then with tassels there should not be any confusion. Usually they are sold in sets of eight.
For the sake of painting according to the stone, synthetic or nylon brushes are needed. Products made of bristles for this purpose will be extremely rough, and natural materials, such as columns or protein, are extremely brittle and soft. If the bundle becomes unnecessary until it is needed, it must be tipped into a glass of water, so that it does not wither,
For photos, brushes are presented according to numbers. For each brush from the set to eat their own destiny.
No. 8 - used to work on large stones weighing more than 4-5 kg
No. 7 - for the sake of huge pebbles. If you master the technique of the 1st stroke, then this bundle will be needed for the sake of drawing flowers and leaves;
No. 6 - will be needed to work with large stones, they are also allowed to depict leaves and flowers in the technique of the 1st smear
#5 - it is very comfortable and the whole universal bundle, it is allowed to soften both huge and small stones
No. 4 - an impeccable bunch for working with small stones
No. 3 - is used not only in working with small pebbles, but also for drawing details of drawings for huge stones
No. 2 - with her through the smallest details of the drawings - patterns, eyes, hair, hair, etc .;
No. 1 - is needed for the creation of effects, such as a point plan.
Now, if we have to eat pebbles, paints and brushes, and we know how to extract them, it seemed a desire, it is allowed to begin to work. However, a moment of attention, one more moment to eat, who needs to be cleared.
It seems true to design a gamut
One of the parameters of acrylic, which helps us in the work - it's his gift to be alive. However, for the sake of beginning painters, this detail causes some difficulties. They have to portray faster than they can so far. In addition, constantly have to add new colors, and this unreasonably increases their costs.
It is permissible, of course, to use special means to slow the drying out, but here we lose an extraordinary effect, and it's much more difficult to make pictures. You see, it is not difficult to find such a container in any grocery store, for no reason you should not exist with the construction of the palette
Intermediately, if the jar of paint is fairly open, and we begin to immerse in it a bunch, acrylic is alive rather viscous, and then elastic, dense substance. Simply put, the suit will wither, and you'll have to drive out the whole jar. If you squeeze out the paint for the ordinary gamut, then its cost is rather simple, and it's no good at all.
In order to relax, slowly and without spending unnecessary paints and nerves, you need to perform a special scale with your own hands. For this we take:
an ordinary plastic lid closed with a lid
Toilet paper or tissue paper
paper for baking.
Take for the sake of the beginning the container of any size. After, if you already begin to depict the exact one, you will orient yourself in the book, what size of gamma you need. The larger the container, the larger the palette of colors that you can extract for the sake of coloring the stones for your garden.
That short container, who we chose, is perfect, if you need to paint a small pebble of a small size. For his bottom suppose a piece of toilet paper or a paper napkin. A little tamped paper and pour it with water for no reason, so that it is perfectly impregnated. The tissue should be moist, but do not swim in water. In this homemade range there are roughly a few drops of paint of various colors, which is about the lowest material consumption
Now we need to take waxed paper and cut out a piece of it, deserved according to the size of the bottom of the container. This paper we assume over a damp wipe. The case is completed, we have made an impeccable range for the sake of acrylic paints. Papyrus keeps water for the sake of baking and will not let the paints wither. In closed form, this range is even allowed to be put in the refrigerator, if the painting has to be cut off.
Now it's really time to start painting the stones.
Mask execution sequence
The pebbles should be prepared for work - it is good to wash with soap and drink. Then a separate rock must be primed with PVA glue and drink again. Now it is allowed to start to apply a background. Paint should be found in advance, shake well the paint and apply it for the look of the stone. After that, you should wait 15 minutes for the basic discharge to dry out. If you immediately thought that you will spend an extremely abundant time while the rock is fairly sick, then it is not without reason: you can prepare in addition a fair amount of blanks in parallel
Before acting for an image for a stone, make an essay for the paper, imagine, like it looks pretty ready. In pencil, reproduce the image for the stone. Once again, check whether all the details are perfectly drawn. The next coloring is pretty much done in layers. The individual element must be allowed to dry for 15 minutes. The contours of your painting are produced by watery paint.
The best way to dry work for the battery. Finished work should be covered with a layer of protective varnish. He, too, has to dry out. Then the execution of the painting is allowed to place the finished rock for its placement in the garden.
And again look at the video - like saying, it's better to see only once:
Which is allowed to draw for a stone?
If you answer this task briefly, then you can draw everything! Everything that you want and everything that will give you a clue to fantasy. However, we will give fairly advice.
