Knowledge of wall paintings
My opinion on wall paintings
Common wall paintings can be divided into two types in today's society: traditional wall paintings and modern wall paintings. .
Traditional wall paintings have a long history in my country, including ancient Chinese palace murals, decorative murals for families, landscape murals in gardens, and the wall paintings of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. In Western countries, palace wall paintings and religious wall paintings once reached their heyday.
Modern wall paintings were produced due to the development of social productivity that promoted the improvement of people's living standards. At the same time, the invention of new tools and pigments also provided a boost. Especially in recent years, more and more people like to paint wall paintings at home, shops, and entertainment venues. There are also many types, oil painting style, watercolor style, illustration and comic style, all can be expressed in wall paintings, suitable for all kinds of people
Wall painting paints are mainly composed of acrylic and exterior wall paint, both of which They are all dust-proof and waterproof and last a long time. Due to the different environments that need to be painted, there are many materials that can be used for wall paintings, which can be decided according to needs. Watercolor, self-spray paint, ink, paint, etc. can all be used for painting without waterproofing and sunscreen.
Due to the special direction of use, wall paintings are required to be kept for a long time. Dunhuang wall paintings have experienced thousands of years of baptism and are still preserved in the world. The home wall paintings that are now popular in decoration are also because of Acrylic paints are available that can last for years.
Acrylic paint is a professional painting paint that can fully express all painting techniques, and the picture is full and tense. The color is bright and lasts a long time. Because acrylic paint is dustproof, waterproof, quick-drying and non-toxic to humans, it has become a special paint for wall paintings. Acrylic paint can be added with water. Depending on the amount of water added, acrylic paint can reflect two different characteristics of gouache and watercolor. In other words, wall paintings can be painted with gouache oil painting techniques and watercolor techniques to make the picture richer.
Wall painting can also be said to have changed the painting medium from traditional paper to the wall, so the painting tools and wall painting tools are common, but the media are different.
The prospects of wall paintings: The popularity of wall paintings is an inevitable trend, just like wallpaper became popular in the decoration industry in our country in the 1980s and 1990s (Western countries began in the 1940s and 1950s). In the past, due to the determination of social productivity, most families and places chose white walls, which were clean and simple. The key was to save labor and effort. In the later period, society developed and living standards improved, and the decoration market became prosperous. More people began to spend energy on their own decoration, making the living space more personalized and beautiful. Now, as the "post-70s and post-80s" generation has gradually become the mainstream of social forces, this phenomenon has become even more obvious: life must be individual, beautiful, healthy, and rich. In the decoration world, hand-painted wall paintings came into being. The biggest advantages of its PK wallpaper are environmental protection, beautiful appearance, high degree of freedom and low price (the average price of branded and good wallpaper per square meter is more than 400 yuan/square meter), and it instantly kills the fatal flaw of unchanging wallpaper patterns. Of course, nothing will completely replace another thing, because each has its own needs. Wallpaper, wall painting, and white are all the same. It's just that wall paintings will develop from sporadic to a new mainstream in this social stage.
The current situation and market situation of wall paintings: The current wall painting industry is still in its infancy. Here, I first pay tribute to the older generation of painters who used to paint pavilions and restore cultural relics. They are Real artists, real wall painters we forget.
The wall painting industry is now at a stage where the older generation has stopped working and the new generation has not started. Only some young painters with ideas are involved in this field. Therefore, it can be said that in the wall painting industry Nowadays, there is almost no competition in the industry. Of course, we also have to face a problem. Although there are few people engaged in wall painting, the market for wall painting has not yet opened. There are many owners who want personalized decoration, but they have not yet been exposed to it. Wall painting is a new thing. Another job of wall painting workers is to let the public begin to understand the wall painting industry. There will always be development and need for high-quality and cheap things. (There is also a question about whether the wall painting industry will develop in the future as wall paintings and the number of practitioners increase, and whether the market will become smaller and smaller. I will discuss my personal views below.
)
My personal habit is to divide wall paintings into two types: traditional paintings and fashion paintings. Traditional paintings refer to wall paintings that have always existed in society, such as wall paintings in conference rooms and landscapes in parks and streets. Paintings, advertising paintings of certain companies, legal posters in rural areas, restoration paintings of cultural relics and historic sites, etc.; fashion wall paintings are home guest rooms, personalized wall paintings (design) for children's rooms, alternative fashion paintings in hotel bars, Internet cafes and entertainment venues, Graffiti paintings, decoration paintings of personalized shops in shopping malls, etc. For painters, there is not much difference between them, but recognizing their relationship will make it much easier for us to communicate with customers, because there are often many ideological inconsistencies between museum directors and hotel owners. We should choose targeted services. Our works and creative concepts.
Personal summary of wall painting elements and tools:
Wall painting: The wall painting we engage in simply refers to painting directly on the wall with paint to make the wall artistic. Make the space beautiful, elegant and full of vitality.
Painters: Wall painters are basically graduates from the Academy of Fine Arts. Due to the particularity of wall paintings, those who engage in wall painting work are generally young people. Young people are more imaginative and innovative, and wall paintings often take a long time to paint, and there are certain requirements for people's physical fitness. But what young painters need to pay attention to is to be careful and conscientious, and the most important thing is to lay a good foundation in art. The earliest batch of wall painting workers should be named after the ancient painters who painted courtyard screens and other paintings.
Pigments:
1. Acrylic paint
2. Gouache paint
3. Oil paint
4 , paint
5. Self-spray paint
6. Colored wall paint
(Note: In 90% of cases, acrylic is used for painting, and other pigments Only used on special occasions, please see the pigment analysis for details)
Other tools:
There are many types of tools, but only a few are used in actual applications. Some tools are used for special paintings. Sometimes courage is more convenient than using bare hands, so just choose a few suitable ones according to the work.
1. Pencil: In most cases, pencils are used to draw drafts on the wall, on the same paper. There are many types of pencils. For wall painting drawings, ordinary pencils can be used, no special requirements
2. Eraser: ordinary ones are enough
3. Meter ruler: Wall paintings generally have a larger area. , the meter ruler is the basic tool for measuring area in wall painting work
4. Square ruler and ruler: necessary for straight-line painting
5. Work clothes: acrylic, spray paint and other pigments are not available Clothes cannot be washed, so wall painting workers need to prepare their own work clothes.
6. Vertical lines: Although the painter is professional, it is always bad if the painting is crooked.
8. Mark pen: There are many ways to use it, see the following page for details.
9. Brushes: The most basic tool for wall painting. Generally speaking, hard-bristled ones are easier to use.
10. Bucket: essential for painting colors and used for rinsing brushes.
How to use a few tools:
1. First of all, let’s talk about work clothes. In fact, they are dispensable, as long as you have clothes that are not afraid of getting dirty
With. Painting is a very troublesome thing. You often get paint all over your body, especially acrylic, self-spray paint, etc., which cannot be cleaned, so it is always troublesome to get it on your body. And having a piece of work clothes will look more professional (which is true). Drawing some patterns of your own on the work clothes will be beautiful and can be used as publicity.
2. Square ruler and vertical line: tools commonly used in drawing engineering drawings can also bring us great convenience.
A right-angled ruler commonly used in drawing, used for drawing right angles. In the process of painting, we will draw many types of paintings, including some works with very strict data requirements (such as air castles, three-dimensional wall paintings, etc.). A crooked line in the middle will also cause the entire picture to collapse. Vertical line, measure the vertical part of the picture and draw it in place. At the same time, you can also use it to draw large circles. The principle is the same as that of a compass and is very simple.
3. Markers (markers): Many wall painting workers ignore their role. In fact, markers are a tool that I like very much. There are basically two ways to use it. One is to use it to draw black edges after drawing, which is much more convenient and faster than a stroke pen. The second is to use it to draw alone, to draw line drawings or stippling on white walls. Not many people use this painting method, but the effect is surprisingly good and it is an absolute killer! The method is the same as pen painting.
4. Pai brushes and calligraphy brushes: Anyone who paints knows how to use row brushes. Here is my personal feeling.
I don’t think acrylic pens are more expensive when painting on the wall. The better, the cheaper bristle is more suitable, because the bristle is hard, it will be very neat to paint acrylic, and the corners will be very clean. Soft brushes also have advantages, that is, they apply color more evenly and are thick enough, so using the two brushes together will get twice the result with half the effort (in terms of painting effect). Of course, if the painting does not have high requirements on the picture, one pen is enough. For wall paintings, time is money.
5. Regarding computer graphics: Customers always want to see renderings, so it is best to provide them with a rendering before drawing. If it is a downloaded picture, you can use PS to process it to make it look more professional and make it look more professional. If not, you can print it into a photo. It is best to have a printer, Epson is recommended, followed by Canon and HP.
6. Self-spray painting: A god-level tool for graffiti enthusiasts, it is hailed as the greatest invention by graffiti enthusiasts.
Advantages: It is not afraid of the sun or rain outdoors, it is convenient and fast; Disadvantages: It is highly toxic, has limited expressiveness, and will never be popular. But occasionally, it’s not bad to complement the wall paintings when necessary.
7. Propylene:
(1) It can be released with water, and there are also special diluents and retarders.
(2) Quick drying. The paint dries within minutes after you put pen to paper, no need to wait. Acrylic has strong covering power, and good acrylic paint can completely cover the underlying color. Painters who prefer slow-drying paints can use retarder to delay the drying time of the paint.
(3) The colored layer will quickly lose its solubility after drying, and at the same time form a tough, elastic and impermeable film. This membrane is similar to rubber.
(4) The color is full, thick and fresh. No matter how you blend it, it will never feel "dirty" or "grey". The colored layer will never absorb oil and cause stains.
(5) The works have longer durability. The oil film in the oil painting is easy to oxidize over time, turn yellow, and harden, which can easily cause cracks in the painting. Theoretically speaking, acrylic film will never become brittle or yellow.
(6) The biggest difference between the use of acrylic paint and oil painting is that it has the operating characteristics of general water-based paints and can be used as both watercolor and gouache. Adding water to acrylic can make it the same as watercolor. There is no problem in painting with watercolor, and the result will be watercolor. Dry acrylics are similar to oil paints and gouache paints.
(7) Acrylic paint is non-toxic and will not cause harm to the human body.
Techniques
Techniques and Problems
Wall painting technique is a variation of painting, which just changes the medium from paper to the wall. So as long as you pay attention to the particularity of the wall, there will be no problem. The so-called special methods are the handling of some special situations:
1. Regarding the problem of large-area coloring:
Wall paintings are basically relatively large in area, so coloring becomes a problem. For example, if a large area needs to be painted with the same color, it will be difficult to paint it evenly. If the color is mixed, it will be more troublesome. If the half-mixed paint is gone, it may be uneven when you re-mix it. Color affects the entire picture and project, so at this time try to spit out large pieces and use the color of the paint itself instead of blending.
When painting a large area, as long as the customer is not too demanding on the picture, do not use a small brush. Use a board brush (the effect of the board brush will definitely be worse than a row brush, so use a pen or brush according to the (It depends on the situation), and when using a board brush, try to paint pictures with excessive backgrounds, because it is difficult to paint evenly with a board brush, and paintings with color transitions will look much better.
The seriousness of the painting in Chengdu is related to the requirements of the painting and the money for the painting. If the fee is high, it is normal for the painting to be completed one stroke at a time.
2. Regarding the problem of uneven paint application:
When painting, I often find that the paint is not very even, which affects the appearance. First, you can use a soft brush to paint the area you want to paint evenly. The softer the brush, the more paint will be stained. Once the paint has a certain thickness, it will look even. Then dip a soft-bristled pen into the paint, add more water, and go over the painted area a few more times (before the paint dries), and the color will naturally become smooth and shiny. It should be noted that when painting, do not slide the paint to other colors. Doing it twice will affect the progress of the painting.
3. Regarding the problem of non-coloring of small uneven parts of the wall:
Although some walls are made of latex paint, there will be small pits due to oxidized active particles and other reasons. , the small pits are not colored when painted, and they look like spots. It’s very troublesome to color over and over again. In fact, this situation is easy to deal with. Just use a brush to dip the paint into the uncolored areas, and then apply it evenly.
3. Regarding the problem that colors such as light yellow cannot cover the underlying color:
The covering power of colors such as light yellow, lemon yellow, etc. is very weak and will feel a bit transparent. Painting on a colored base will feel dirty and weak. At this time, you can add a little white color to it. The color may be a little off, but the coverage will change immediately, and it is easy to apply evenly. The neutralizing power of white is very good. You can also try other aspects by taking advantage of this characteristic. Maybe there will be new discoveries.
4. Processing of pencil drafts:
Since most wall paintings are drafted in pencil, many pencil lines will be left in the end. In fact, because of the strong coverage of paint, most pencil lines do not need special treatment.
5. Draw with markers (oil-based pens):
(1) Markers are great for drawing, especially on white walls. Requesting that the latex paint on the white walls be slightly better. In most cases, just use oil-based pens for drawing. Markers come in many colors, but are relatively expensive. Oil-based pens (markers) are cheap, and although they only come in a single black color, they are very suitable for tracing, drawing lines, and dotting.
(2) Line drawing: It is common in meticulous painting, using ink lines to outline objects without using color. The expressiveness on the wall is also extraordinary. As shown in the picture:
(3) Pointillism: a kind of pen painting, clean and full of artistic vitality. And the picture is not easy to make mistakes
It doesn’t matter if you click more or less, the basic thing is to sketch better. First draw a simple sketch with a pencil, and then start to draw bit by bit with a marker. It is easier to draw by using dots to outline the outline first, and then look for the details of the picture. The phone pole is to find a good relationship between light and dark, and it is easy to achieve results.
Stippling is actually very easy, it is the kind that looks difficult but easy to operate. Clients generally appreciate pointillism.
6. How to design walls for customers:
When designing walls for customers, you need to pay attention. First, ask for the customer’s ideas. It is of course best to have ready-made patterns for painting. If the customer does not have a plan and needs to come up with a design by himself, you can refer to the following points:
The picture should be substantial but not cluttered. For example: draw a flower. If it feels monotonous, you can make a fuss about the background of the flower. , but the background must not be brighter than the flowers, taking away the picture of the flowers.
It is especially taboo to draw something similar and then draw another similar thing after it feels monotonous. For example, if you draw a cat and feel that the wall is empty, then draw a dog or a rabbit next to it, if you draw like this, the picture will completely collapse in the end, becoming messy and without the theme. Except for the simple paintings in Danran Kindergarten.
In terms of color, since color is related to people’s spiritual thoughts, we should draw based on the customer’s own personality and the overall color of the space, and give him a work that suits him. If he paints at home, the painting style should be decided based on the home decoration style, whether it is retro, fashionable, simple, etc.
Change colors according to seasonal environment: We can use painting to create a space. Winter is cold, so draw more warm-toned things, because people feel warm, so you can draw warm-colored paintings with mainly yellow and orange tones in winter. In summer, you can paint some blue paintings to have a refreshing feeling.
I would like to express my personal opinion. When painting, the more you paint, the more you earn. However, as a painter, you must also have your own dignity and professional ethics. It is only suitable to paint a tree. Without drawing more than one blade of grass, we can create admirable works and win the respect of others.
7. A special suggestion:
Use your brain more and change with the environment. For example: when painting a children's room for a client's home, they selected a pattern, which was "Animal Games". The child they added was a rooster, so we drew a "fire hat" rooster in front of all the animals to take the lead. This small change immediately received positive reviews from customers. Therefore, when drawing, you should act randomly, and you will get unexpected results if you use your brain.
8. Don’t forget Feng Shui:
Chinese people pay attention to Feng Shui, and the higher the level of life, the more attention it pays. So we should also pay attention when painting for clients.
We are not Feng Shui masters, so we don’t need to think too much. The following points are enough.
(1) Try to draw auspicious things
(2) When drawing a tiger, the head of the tiger should not be directed toward the inside of the house; when drawing a dragon, the head of the dragon should not be directed toward the outside.
(3 ) Near mountains and rivers: I want to say a few more words about this, because it has brought me a lot of benefits. We often draw pictures for some merchants, and we are always particular about doing business. We can paint a mountain on a certain wall of a merchant. As the saying goes, if there is a backing, if there is no mountain next to it, we can paint a mountain for it. You can also draw some water. Being close to mountains and water is a good scenery, and it is naturally good for Feng Shui.
This is very important. It doesn’t matter whether the painting is good or not. Maybe this sentence determines a business.
When I mention this, many customers have asked me to paint with a smile. I have tried it every time. !
9. How to paint the intersection of colors:
Because acrylic is too viscous, so when painting, do not use the smear and fill color method at the intersection of two colors. I'm not good at painting flowers. You can apply more of one color, use a brush to stick to the edge of the other color, and press the painting. Taking advantage of the strong covering power of acrylic, you can handle both colors very cleanly.
10. Working at heights:
I often paint paintings at high places indoors and outdoors, step on stools, ladders, and build scaffolding. A ladder is enough in most cases, but if it is a tall and large place, scaffolding must be built. Safety comes first, and it’s also convenient to draw.
11. Acrylic:
Acrylic paint is a new type of paint, which is non-toxic, brightly colored, waterproof after being mixed with oil or water, and dries quickly, so there is no need to wait for repainting. painting. Its drawing technique emphasizes freedom and richness. Elegant watercolor style, thick oil painting feel, dazzling POP street graffiti, and even imitation Chinese painting effects can all be achieved with this material.
12. What can acrylic paint be painted on:
Acrylic can be used to paint on wall paint, wood, cement, cloth products and instant noodles. When painting, make sure the base is clean.
13. How long can acrylic paint be kept for?
Because acrylic is not afraid of oxidation, it can be kept for at least three to five years. In fact, this number is very conservative. Acrylic should actually be kept for More than 10 years. But you should leave some room when talking to customers.
14. Is acrylic paint dustproof and waterproof?
After it dries, it will form a gel-like film with a rubbery feel, so it is dustproof and waterproof. When it gets dirty, just wipe it gently with a slightly damp rag. But be sure not to get greasy or sticky things on your acrylic paint, such as paint.
15. Where is suitable for painting wall paintings?
Since wall paintings can also be classified as a type of decoration, wall paintings can be painted anywhere as long as they are decorated.
16. How can you be more expressive when drawing?
Some art fonts can have more three-dimensional effects when drawing, and they will look better if they are simple

Notes on hand-painted walls
It should be noted that every stroke and color of hand-painted works has its own personality. Generally, it is selected according to the overall style and tone of the room before painting.
