Before you start: which paints are best to use, in which packaging

For wall painting in living quarters, it is most reasonable to use paints on an acrylic or latex base. In order to save money, you can take a package of white paint and a set of colors. Divide the paint into cans and, adding tinting paste, prepare the desired palette for yourself. A little tip: for painting, do not dilute the coloring composition with water, leave it thick, so you will achieve the desired results without smudges and defects.

Most of the decor examples we provide use paint in tubes, but you can solve this issue simply by using large syringes without needles.

Abstract illustration of colored triangles

The first version of the painting is abstract figures with expressive colors. To reproduce them on walls, you need electrical tape, a foam sponge and paints.

Unique painting on the walls with your own hands — Stick electrical tape on the wall, forming empty gaps of different shapes: triangles and quadrangles of regular and irregular shapes

Apply paint to the wall using different shades in each free shape, including plain white paint

When paint is applied, use a sponge. This can be a regular washcloth. It will need to be washed periodically so as not to mix prints of different shades.

Now just blot the paint with a sponge. Make sure that it is almost dry even after rinsing. To do this, squeeze it well into the sink and then squeeze it again in a towel.

When the paints start to dry out and will definitely not flow, remove the electrical tape from the wall. If you are not sure that nothing will flow, it is better to wait until the drawing is completely dry.

These are the shapes with a smooth transition of shades should turn out in the end. The painting will look very original. It is enough to arrange one accent wall in this way - and the effect will be amazing.

Colored circles: radial painting

For the second option, in addition to paints, you will need a metal ruler at least half a meter long.

Apply thick paint to the wall in small drops. Use different shades in no particular order

Attach a long metal ruler in the center of the future drawing.

Pressing the ruler against the wall, turn it in a circle, while simultaneously smearing paint that meets on the way. Try not to move the tool

The paints will mix and smear in the direction of travel. As a result, you will get a radial painting. The circles can be found on top of each other or spaced at a distance, as you like.

Bouquets on the walls: simple execution with a stunning effect

If you like a floral print, here's one example of a print that requires a brush on the handle.

Draw stems and leaves on the wall with a brush. Use different shades of green for more effect.

Squeeze the paint into a flat plate and dip the brush into it. It can be a regular dish brush.

Without pressing too hard on the brush, transfer the paint onto the wall over the stems. Use different color combinations such as pink and burgundy, yellow and orange

The final touch in the creation of the bouquet - drawing the ribbon with a brush

Waves and hairbrushes: what do they have in common?

Another unusual option for creating an abstract painting requires the use of a comb.

Limit the paint area with masking tape or duct tape

Apply paint from a tube or syringe of different shades in rows from top to bottom

Move the brush up and down to spread the paint. It will blend under the prongs

When the paint is dry, you can remove the restraining tape

The result should look something like this. You can create any drawing in this way. It will be interesting if you get not just abstract figures, but, for example, the outlines of trees or animals.

How to paint walls with your fingers: floral print

Even if you don't have a brush, hairbrush or sponge at hand, it doesn't matter. You can paint the walls with your hands, and in the literal sense.

Just dip your finger in the paint and start painting

Use different shades of paint to paint. Form the outlines of the petals, center and leaves

A floral print can fill an accent wall or a stripe around the perimeter of a room

Easy drawing for decorating a children's room

Butterflies are a great idea for decorating a nursery for a toddler. You can draw them quickly and easily with a foam sponge.

Drag the sponge in the middle with the rubber band to form a bow

Apply different shades of paint to one side of the bow and fold it in half so that the paint will be printed on the other half.

The paint will be printed and slightly mixed, as needed to get the picture

Press the bow against the wall and paint the print with a brush, adding the antennae and the body of the butterfly.

Use different color combinations for colorful designs

How to create a painting with a bottle cap

Another unusual tool for painting is a regular plastic cover. With its help, you can make a pretty painting for the kitchen.

Such covers are sure to be in every home. If not, just buy a bottle of mineral water

Dip the lid in a bright orange or yellow paint

Make three lid prints: two on the sides and one in the center

Draw a ponytail on the central shape with green paint and a brush.

Such a pattern will look especially bright against a dark background.

Rainbow arc for all types of plaster

The safest option for painting is a rainbow. All you need is to pick 7 classic colors and place them on the wall. This type of painting is universal and suitable even if you have bulky plaster on your walls. And to create a picture, in addition to paints, you will also need cling film in rolls.

Apply paint of the desired colors to the wall, forming a semicircle

Apply cling film on top of the paint so that it covers the entire area

Now press the film with your hands so that the paints mix and spread along the wall.

Such a cheerful drawing will decorate the living room, nursery or hallway and will give you a great mood any day.
