In people's impression, paintings have always been hung on the wall, and the paintings painted on the wall seem to stay in groups of three or five. Hand-painted murals conquered fashion with their freedom and innocence.
Professional wall painting is a vivid picture drawn on the wall with environmentally friendly painting materials according to the owner's decorative style, color matching and owner's preferences, just like fixing a flowing landscape on the wall. Wall painting not only has a good decorative effect, but also the unique picture reflects the owner's fashion taste. Every stroke and color of hand-painted works has its own personality. Generally, the size, pattern, color and shape are selected according to the overall style and tone of the room before painting. In order to avoid the problem of wall painting flooding and pattern repetition, hand-painted artists will design different patterns according to different home styles to ensure the uniqueness of each owner's wall painting.
Wall painting is not limited to a certain location in the home. Living room, bedroom, dining room and even bathroom can be selected. Generally speaking, TV background wall, sofa wall and children's room are currently selected for living room decoration. Wall painting styles include Chinese style, Nordic simplicity, pastoral color, cartoon animation and many other options.
If you choose a main wall to paint a large area, this hand-painted wall painting will appear as the main decoration at home. The tall and straight branches and cool geometric shapes will bring great visual impact to tourists, and the effect will be very prominent; In addition, the common wall paintings are drawn for some special spaces. For example, the sun room can draw pictures with the theme of the sun and flowers and birds, the children's room can draw cartoons, and the stairwell can draw enchanting vines.
There is also a kind of wall painting that belongs to the "finishing touch" type. Corners such as switch seats and air conditioning pipes are not suitable for placing furniture or decorations. At this time, hand-painted wall paintings can be used to enrich it. Exquisite flowers and natural leaves can often bring unexpected effects.
This kind of painted wall decoration painting fixes a flowing landscape on the wall, which makes the natural breath and vitality come to my face. Even if you put pen to paper on the most common and simple wall, it will show a different style.
[Edit this paragraph] The origin of hand-painted wall painting
In the14th century and the early 5th century, with the development of religion, various religious patterns were painted on the walls. The patterns drawn in this way are generally religious themes to decorate churches and other buildings belonging to churches, thus increasing the seriousness and sacredness of buildings and the environment. In ancient Egypt, artists carved various patterns on walls and columns as decorations, many of which recorded the life of the owner of the residence and recorded various fairy tales. This is the original mural art in Egypt.
In Tibet, China, people painted Buddha statues on walls and painted thangkas (ornaments made of cowhide) to drive away evil and pray for peace. In all countries and religions, there are records of carving and painting on walls. These murals recording the religious and living conditions at that time are today's murals. In 1960s, graffiti culture appeared in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. From the simple combination of letters and numbers such as labels and house numbers to the study of fonts and effects in the early 1970s, graffiti has gone out of the corner of the United States and become a global artistic creation in the past 40 years.
When graffiti swept the world and became a fashion, this trend began to sweep the home field. Hand-painted furniture, tiles, decorations and fabrics are more common. Nowadays, murals are frequently staged in home decoration. In modern life, we are increasingly pursuing elegant posture and noble taste, and we call for freedom and individuality. Wall painting makes our walls no longer stick to a certain overall style, with various forms of expression. Want to watch cartoons in the bathroom? The kitchen should be realistic? The bedroom should be freehand? The living room is antique? The art of wall painting helps you realize it one by one. Nowadays, more and more people accept this art, and even do it themselves to realize a beautiful home with unique style and full personality.
Recently, wall painting is like the spring breeze in family decoration. With its unique painting form and irreplaceable aesthetic feeling of other decorations, it quickly blooms all over the country, is sought after by young people, and is also greatly warming up among middle-aged people. Many people still don't understand wall painting, and always think that the source is an extension of graffiti, but painting. We think this statement is misleading.
Why is the wall painting not from graffiti? This should start from the root of graffiti. Graffiti, graffiti is a kind of graffiti that combines the culture of "HipHop", which was formed in new york in the early 1970s. Edward, a scholar at City University of new york, wrote in the Encyclopedia of the World: public toilets, walls of public buildings, or stones in parks are often graffiti; Some words and phrases are not very healthy; Sometimes it's just names, but also about sex, and many of them are political slogans. It is true that graffiti is the expression of young people's personality, the expression of trends, the release of freedom and the limitations of content!
Let's look at the word "graffiti" in Chinese. It turned out that Lu Tong of the Tang Dynasty said that his son had scribbled. This allusion comes from the Jade Biography Subsets. Tian Yunding: Lu Tong has a son named Tian Ding, who likes to scribble and often makes Lu Tong's books dirty and messy. Therefore, Lu Tong wrote a poem: "Suddenly, he turned over the case and inked it, smearing poetry books like an old crow." Describe his son's naughty and his helplessness vividly. Later, people got the word "graffiti" from Lutong's poems, which has been passed down to this day.
Now popular painting, such as painting on T-shirts, fabrics, irons, wallets, plastics, clothes, etc. It has even developed into body painting, which shows that painting is an attempt of various media. The interpretation of body painting is the representative of painting interpretation. In the pursuit of beauty, artists are more and more tired of expressing their thoughts on paper or cloth, so some people find that the human body is actually the best carrier of beauty, and the texture full of life luster can not be displayed by any traditional media and painting art. The focus here is on cultural background. Nowadays, body painting originated from abroad, but we in China also have our own body painting, which is the art of facial makeup in Peking Opera. In fact, the distance between the two arts is not so far, but they have their own cultural backgrounds in specific performance. Nowadays, popular body painting is accepted by people because of its wide range of themes and suitability for decoration, but it is essentially the same as our face painting. The reason why it is not popular may be that China people are conservative and inflexible.
It can be seen that the medium of mural painting is wall, and mural painting, that is, wall painting, has its own unique form, that is, mural art form. A painting made on a natural or artificial wall by painting, sculpture or other modeling means. As an accessory part of architecture, its decorative and beautifying function makes it an important aspect of environmental art, and mural painting is one of the earliest painting forms in human history. This is an explanation of the mural.
Graffiti, as a street art, ranks as four important elements of HipHop along with hip hop, rap and DJ, and the graffiti content is owned by a few people. Painting is only a media problem, that is to say, wall painting is not graffiti or painting, because the source of wall painting is the familyization, individualization and liberalization of murals, which beautifies family decoration in the form of painting! !
[Edit this paragraph] Hand-painted wall paint
Hand-painted wall paintings use acrylic pigments, which are water-based blended pigments invented in the 1950s. They do not contain toxic and volatile substances such as formaldehyde, are harmless to human body and have bright colors. Theoretically, acrylic film will never be brittle and yellow. Usually, the relevant information says at least 10- 15 years, not to mention the 5-7 years advertised by some studios, which are actually conservative estimates. As long as it is not deliberately destroyed, it is no problem to pass it on to N generations. Many people may think I'm talking nonsense, so I'll make a comparison. Propylene is more durable than oil paints. Many European churches have a history of thousands of years, and the paintings inside are still well preserved. Propylene will last longer! What is more important than oil painting is that propylene only dissolves in water once, which means that it can be mixed with water when painting, and it will not dissolve in water after drying, so even if your wall is wet in the future, it will not destroy the picture. Many people don't care how to wash shirts, handbags and sneakers. This is better than wallpaper and wall stickers (wallpaper and wall stickers usually change color and turn yellow after 2 years). I think all experienced people know this.

[Edit this paragraph] Materials of hand-painted murals
Propylene pigment is a synthetic polymer pigment, which was invented in 1950s and made of pigment powder and acrylic latex. Acrylic latex is also called acrylic polymer latex. There are many kinds of propylene resins, such as methacrylic resin, so there are also many kinds of propylene pigments. Foreign pigment manufacturers have produced a series of propylene products, such as matt propylene pigment, semi-matt propylene pigment and glossy propylene pigment, as well as propylene matt oil, varnish and plastic ointment.
Acrylic pigments are very popular with painters. Compared with oil painting pigments, it has the following characteristics:
(1) can be released by water, which is beneficial to cleaning.
(2) Quick drying. Pigment can be dried in a few minutes after putting pen to paper, instead of waiting for months to polish it like oil painting. Painters who like slow-drying pigments can use retarders to delay the drying time of pigments.
(3) After drying, the colored layer will quickly lose its solubility and form a tough, elastic and impermeable film. This film is similar to rubber.
(4) The color is full, dense and fresh, and no matter how it is blended, it will not feel "dirty" or "gray". The color layer will never be stained by oil absorption.
(5) The durability of the work is long. The oil film in oil painting is easy to oxidize, yellow and harden, and it is easy to crack the picture after a long time. Theoretically, acrylic films will never become brittle and yellow.
(6) The biggest difference between acrylic pigment and oil painting is that it has the operational characteristics of general water-based pigment, which can be used as both watercolor and gouache.
(7) There are particles, coarse particles and fine particles in the acrylic plastic ointment, which provides convenience for making texture.
(8) Propylene pigment is nontoxic and will not cause harm to human body.
It should be noted that acrylic painting should be painted on the base made of acrylic primer (gypsum), and oily base painting cannot be used. Material experts also don't advocate the mixed use of propylene and oil painting colors, especially don't paint oil paintings on propylene base, mainly for the permanent preservation of works. Propylene has no adverse reaction with oil painting pigments, and its adhesion needs time to be tested when it is used alternately.
[Edit this paragraph] Hand-painted wall painting tutorial
1. Wall treatment
The foundation treatment of the wall is more important. Generally, it is painted on the wall with good latex paint, so the leveling, priming and painting patterns of the wall should be prepared in advance.
Make a manuscript
People without artistic skills should draw a good draft on the wall, gently tick the outline of the draft with a pen, and then draw it after they are satisfied, otherwise it will be difficult to modify it.
Mixed pigment
Buy paint according to the pattern effect. If you are not sure about the color matching effect of latex paint when you buy it, don't make a decision in the paint shop. You can take color swatches or paint samples home and observe the paint color under natural light and night light respectively. High gloss paint will make the room look brighter, but it is also easy to highlight the shortcomings of the wall. If the wall is uneven, it is recommended to use matt paint. The paint must not be too thin, otherwise it will easily leave flow marks on the wall. Acrylic pigments can be colored as needed, so write carefully.
Prepare for coloring
First, spread a newspaper in front of the wall to be graffiti, so as not to dirty the ground. When hand-drawing a pattern with simple color, first draw an outline on thin and absorbent paper, then cut it out, put it on the corresponding position on the wall and color it with rubbings. If you are afraid of damaging the wall, the most convenient way is to spray glue, carve the picture after spraying and stick it on the wall with glue. When acrylic paint is painted, if mistakes are found, it can be wiped off with a wet rag and repainted, but latex paint cannot be painted in this way.
5. Maintenance
Ventilation after painting, and then touch the wall after drying. Although acrylic pigment is waterproof and scratch-resistant after drying, do not scrub it with water.
[Edit this paragraph] Precautions for hand-painted wall painting
For example, if your home is in Chinese style, it is required that the colors of wall paintings should be mainly black, red or gold. Patterns mainly come from traditional patterns and patterns in China, or patterns often expressed in traditional Chinese paintings.
1. First of all, the patterns and colors of wall paintings should obey the overall design style.
For example, if your home is in Chinese style, it is required that the colors of wall paintings should be mainly black, red or gold. Patterns mainly come from traditional patterns and patterns in China, or patterns often expressed in traditional Chinese paintings.
Nordic minimalist design is extreme in color, hovering between black, white, gray and super bright colors, so the corresponding wall paintings are mostly processed abstract patterns.
Modernist design colors tend to Li Yan, while the corresponding mural patterns are more realistic.
Hand-painted patterns of European design are relatively neutral and low-key, and wall paintings mainly come from classical European decorative symbols to match the performance of European furniture and wall lines.
2. Secondly, the location of hand-painted murals is also particular.
Generally speaking, we don't recommend painting the whole room with painted patterns, which will make the space look layered. You can choose a main wall and draw it in a large area. This kind of hand-painted wall painting appears as the main decorative surface in the home, which often brings great visual impact to people, and the effect is very outstanding and impressive.
The other is to draw some special spaces, for example, the sun room can draw pictures with the theme of the sun, flowers and birds, and draw a big tree in the stairwell.
There is also a finishing touch, such as switch seats, air conditioning pipes and other corner positions. Painting exquisite flowers and natural leaves can often bring unexpected effects.
