A little story about acrylic paints

The production of acrylic paints has been established since the mid-fifties of the last century. German chemists discovered the unique properties of acrylic acids, which, when mixed with organic fillers, give the result in the form of stable polymer compositions.

In the 1950s, Bocour Artists Colors from the United States developed Magna alcohol acrylic paint, which was designed for painting. The invention of manufacturers from the United States made it possible to launch the mass production of acrylic paints in all countries of the world.

Over time, the technology for the manufacture of acrylic paints was improved: alcohol was replaced with water, which made it possible to significantly expand the scope of use of this type of coating. Today, the high quality of acrylic paint allows it to be used not only for drawing, but also for decoration and decorative and applied works.

How to make a modular picture?

Modern modular DIY acrylic painting on canvas perfect for an interior in the style of Minimalism. Today we will tell you how to draw an abstract picture, which will schematically, but very recognizably depict the well-known umbrella plant called hogweed. But you can choose anything - here you can completely rely on your imagination.

To work, you will need the following:

• Three canvases 40x40 cm.
• Acrylic colors - two gray shades, beige and dark brown.
• Plastic bottle with a sharp nose.
• Foam roller.
• Drawing (although the template is so simple that it can be drawn without a sample).

Sequencing:

• Paint each canvas with a different acrylic color using a roller, as this will greatly simplify and speed up the work.
• After drying, repeat staining - make sure that the top of the picture is painted evenly, without streaks and gaps.

Important! Also do not forget to paint the edges - the sides of the picture. If the ends are the same color, then everything together will look good, and frames will not be needed.

• Now you need to draw the contours on the canvas. Those who trust themselves can simply draw a diagram by hand right in the picture.

Important! To intersect the outlines, add all three pictures of the modular panel to each other closely next to each other vertically.

• Draw all the outlined lines with light beige paint, first pouring it into a bottle with a sharp nose, trying to keep the sharp tip as close to the surface of the canvas as possible.

Important! It is advisable to start drawing the buds from the middle, and mark the flowers with small dots or small strokes at the ends and around.

• Leave the modular painting to dry for at least one night.
• The next day, if desired and possible, you can process the picture with a special firn, which will protect it from dust and moisture, and also give a little shine.
