Features of paintings by numbers on wood

Any person needs sometime to relax and unwind. Painting by numbers will be an excellent option for such a pastime. There are several varieties of such images, but the most recent popular novelty is wood art. It is worth figuring out how such decisions have earned the public interest.

Working with wood is pleasant for both children and adults, and men and women. Natural material evokes associations with nature, is comfortable to handle, pleasant to the touch.

• solid wooden base made of several planks assembled together;
• paints corresponding to the numbers on the base;
• 2-3 brushes;
• a control sheet of paper with which you can check the desired number.

Wood painting solutions have the following strengths:

• an unusual coloring format that brings new sensations to those who have already tried themselves in this type of creativity;
• the presence of high-quality cold-resistant paints, which lie in a dense layer, excluding the transmission of numbers, do not spread and do not crumple;
• environmental friendliness: all materials are natural and safe for people;
• wooden paintings are a great gift at any time of the year: people of both genders, as well as children and elderly family members or friends, are interested in them;
• a wide range of proposed schemes, allowing you to choose what you like.

Nevertheless, you should still think before buying, because wooden paintings have several disadvantages:

• this format is not suitable for all users: if you have never painted by numbers, it is better to start with the canvas in order to understand the basics and learn how to paint the base with high quality (painting the area between the boards is especially difficult);
• the quality of the base does not guarantee the quality of the brushesyou may have to buy more professional options;
• some users have complained that the contour can move, so it is advisable to check the drawing before buying;
• due to the peculiarities of the texture of the material not all numbers may be clearly visible;
• wooden models are an order of magnitude more expensive than ordinary paintings on canvas.

Coloring by numbers on a tree is traditionally produced in two sizes: 30x40 and 40x50 cm. The second solution is much more popular, and most of the paintings have just such dimensions. Of course, you can find more models, but more often they have to be made to order. Wood is not yet as widespread as canvas, so it is difficult to buy triptychs and three-dimensional models.

In addition to the size, the pictures also differ by the manufacturer. The most famous brands will be Dali, Flamingo, Molly, Paintboy, Freya. Each manufacturer uses its own subtleties in production, so you can only make a subjective opinion by trying pictures from different companies.

Of course, wooden solutions will be completely different in terms of the plot. There is plenty to choose from, since the range is really impressive. If you are going to paint a picture for a gift, then you should ask the person what he prefers. Perhaps he loves landscapes or portraits, animals. Or at least take a closer look at the interior features. When drawing for yourself, you can choose whatever you like. Some paint so much that the pictures have nowhere to hang, and they just stack up in piles until the best times.

For the classics, you can draw the following:

• soft flowers of pastel colors;
• light light landscapes: mountains, sea;
• angels and small children;
• reproduction of any artist.

In minimalism, the following will be appropriate:

• bright solutions with an accent coming to the fore;
• images of funny animals;
• birds in rich colors;
• juicy fruits, drinks.

The loft style is diversified:

• pictures with cars;
• city ​​night landscapes;
• pictures with bright cafes and restaurants, beautiful secular ladies in gloves and hats;
• solutions with various inscriptions.

For country, drawings are suitable:

• fields;
• lavender twigs;
• villages;
• home life;
• wooden buildings;
• pets.

How exactly to draw a picture is up to the artist himself. There are simply no strict rules here, since this is creativity, pleasure, and not routine work. Mostly they are painted using one of the techniques described below.

• Colour... This is probably the most boring drawing option. It consists in finding one color throughout the picture and painting it over.For example, you are looking for all the fragments under the number "1". It is quite tedious, and it will be possible to appreciate the beauty of the work only after the final touch. However, there are pluses: other cans of paint will certainly not dry out, and you will not need to wash the brush thoroughly.

• An object... In the picture, you will need to find the desired object and paint it completely. Then you can move on to other elements, gradually filling the entire area.

• Direction... They can be different: someone likes to start from the top, and someone - from the bottom. Some draw from the center, while others start on the side. Any direction will do, the main thing is to be comfortable.

• Plan... The first step is to paint over the background part of the picture. Then they move to the center, and then to the foreground. This technique allows you to add volume to the work.

Here are some more useful tips for aspiring artists:

• it is best to first draw larger objects, and then move on to the little things;
• if the area contains sharp transitions from light to dark, then first you need to paint with light, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate the error;
• after each individual paint, brushes must be washed and wiped off with soft paper towels;
• dilute paints with water, do not interfere with a toothpick, the only exception is dried materials (they are diluted with a couple of drops of warm water);
• When you're done painting, close the jar as paints dry quickly outdoors.
