Technique of painting ceilings with your own hands

Today's owners of chic spacious apartments and even small apartments strive to create an exclusive design. For this, a variety of different repair technologies are used. One of them, which stands out for its historical roots and at the same time is new in design, is the artistic ceiling paintings. The picture, embodied in life, is unique. In addition, it is the highlight that so often lacks for a harmonious perception of design.

Scene Selection

An incredibly difficult job for a beginner is painting the ceiling with your own hands. Photo allows you to see the beautiful creations of artists. However, even a novice master can, if he makes an effort, cope with such a task.

The initial stage in the mural is the choice of the plot.

Today it is fashionable to depict on the ceiling:

  • Clouds, birds, stars against the sky;
  • Elements of ornament, duplicating a picture of furniture, textiles, walls.

However, you can choose absolutely any story. The main thing is that it should be in harmony with the overall design. After all, the ceiling painting is done for a long time. They can not be removed, like a boring picture.

An important criterion of choice is the functional purpose of the room:

  1. Inspiring quiet drawings are suitable for the bedroom.
  2. If you experiment with the ceiling in the living room, then fit a solemn, pompous, saturated story.
  3. In the children's room will look great cartoon hero.
  4. And the kitchen will be complemented by a drawing that catches up the appetite.

Choice of technique of painting

Having decided upon the plot, it is necessary to think over the technique of drawing a drawing. A lot of wonderful techniques have been developed that allow creating exclusive ceiling murals.

We will acquaint ourselves with them:

  1. Screen printing. This is an option designed for people who can not draw at all. Stencils can be purchased at the store or printed out on their own. If the picture on the ceiling is duplicated, it is advisable to make a copy of such an "assistant" in advance. After all, the stencil very quickly deteriorates. The workpiece should be attached to the surface with adhesive tape. Paints are applied, starting from the edge, moving to the center. Then use the method of facing.
  2. Painting-blende. Its amazing name of the method was due to the creation of volumetric perspectives. The applied drawing imitates the continuation of space. For example, the sea coast or a beautiful green meadow. The image is built on strict observance of prospects and optical illusions. Such ceiling paintings are used for a small room. They are able to visually expand the room.
  3. Painting a fresco. The essence of the method is the drawing of a drawing on wet plaster. This method avoids cracks after drying. In addition, these images are distinguished by their durability. They do not deteriorate from humidity and sun rays.
  4. Fluorescent ceiling. This technique is often used to decorate restaurants and nightclubs. By combining different fluorescent elements, you can achieve great combinations that will bring a feeling of romance and coziness into the room.
  5. Painting with acrylic. Such paints are distinguished by their durability. They are diverse and beautiful. At the same time, the image dries almost in half an hour.
  6. Oil Painting. Unlike acrylic, these paints are able to convey the beauty and depth of the art. But such a painting will dry for at least 5 days.
  7. Tempera painting. The colors are made up of egg yolk (glue). They dry quickly. However, quite often the pattern made in this technique is covered with cracks.

If you conceived the painting of wooden ceilings, it does not necessarily have to select a pattern on the entire surface. Sometimes a very small image looks very harmonious and original.

Tools and materials

Now consider what you should stock up before you start creativity.

You will need:

  • A brush with a long handle;
  • Rollers, brushes;
  • Sandpaper (only fine-grained);
  • Capacity (bucket);
  • water;
  • Metal spatulas of different sizes;
  • Putty (base, finishing);
  • Priming (acrylic, deep penetration);
  • plaster;
  • level.

In addition, it is desirable to have a spray gun and airbrush. They work on the principle of an atomizer and are designed for painting large areas.

Ceiling preparation

It is not recommended to apply a pattern to old materials. Very often this leads to defects in work. As a result, you have to completely remodel the surface. Therefore, the ceiling painting must begin with a preparatory stage.

To do this, you should:

  1. Clean the old layer of plaster with a spatula. Rinse the ceiling with a brush.
  2. Apply a deep penetration primer.
  3. Check the surface with a level. All irregularities must be filled with plaster and putty.
  4. Wipe off the dried surface with a sandpaper.
  5. Apply the final putty. The surface should be perfectly smooth.
  6. When it dries it is possible to apply background paint for the future masterpiece.

Preparation is over.

Applying a painting

Now you can move on to the most interesting and creative work process. Hand painting the ceiling is a crucial moment. And quite heavy. Therefore, it is initially recommended to practice on a regular sheet of paper. And only "stuffed your hand" you can proceed to create a masterpiece on the surface.

To avoid distraction during work, be sure to prepare everything you need beforehand: brushes, palette, paint, sponge. They must always be at hand. It is best if you have an assistant ready to file a tool that you might need.

Initially, the contours of the image should be applied to the surface.

For this you can use 2 methods:

  1. Use the sketches on which you trained. Attach the sheet to the ceiling. Pencil all the lines.
  2. Use the projector. Gently circle all the outline of the image.

Begin painting large parts and background. Then go to the smaller items. If an error was made, immediately remove it with a damp sponge.

Protective layer

After the decorative painting of the ceilings is done, you can admire and enjoy the masterpiece. However, so that after a while your drawing does not lose its beautiful appearance, it must be covered with a protective layer. This will protect the image from mechanical damage. In addition, the protective layer will make the picture shine with a natural sheen.

However, remember that the lacquer should lie only on the dried surface. You can use a sprayer or apply a protective layer with a brush with a short bristle. In this process, there are also several nuances. Try to apply a uniform coat of varnish. Then polish it using a dry brush.

Conclusion

Beautiful painting will please the eye for at least 10 years. And if you periodically update the lacquer layer, then much longer. The main thing, protect the surface at first from dust and tobacco smoke. If you listen to such recommendations, then a wonderful masterpiece will not only be the highlight of your interior, but also a source of pride for your friends.

Good luck and creative success.
