Smooth walls are the key to the artist's success

The right canvas is what you need to get started. In your case, this is a wall, and it should be prepared for a creative impulse. First of all, align, eliminate all cracks and potholes.

After leveling, you need to prime the surface and apply a background layer that matches your idea.

For a novice artist, it is better to choose not a full-wall drawing, but a small and uncomplicated motive that will attract attention. So all the rest of the wall space will be taken up by the background. Think about what color will be pleasing to the eye and not irritating.

There are several techniques for drawing a picture, we will consider the simplest and most affordable of them.

Painting with paints

The first thing that comes to mind is to take brushes and paints. This is really logical, but not as simple as it seems at first glance. It is easy to distinguish the work of a real artist from the work of an amateur by technique: here both the combination of colors and the technique of working out the details. If you have no experience, then most likely your drawing will be like in a school album: with a good mark, but not like in the gallery showroom. So start with an image in two or three colors at the most.

Contrasting paint to the main background is a great solution. Moreover, black is a win-win option.

You can choose an interesting motive that will attract attention.

You can select a drawing online and transfer it to paper for scaling. Then, along the contours, the drawing is applied to the wall and filled with paint.

There is another option for image transfer, in which a powerful lamp will help you.

There is another simple technique - print the image and divide it into squares. And then transfer the drawing to the wall, just not all at once, but in detail, focusing on the proportions and location in each squarePHOTO: i.pinimg.com

All three of these options will allow you to avoid mistakes: a violation of the proportionality of the picture and distortion, which is difficult to immediately notice with a lack of experience.

If you still got the idea to paint a real picture on the wall, then remember that real creativity is distinguished by individuality and courage. Apply contours using any of the options above and be bolder: add your own details, focus on taste and your own sense of harmony. Then you will get something to be proud of.
