The blackboard wall has become a common household symbol. The pictures of the great masters make people fascinated and worried at the same time: "I don't have such a high level of painting. Will I dig a hole for myself if I mess with the blackboard wall at home?"
Very much. A clear answer to you, yes yes yes! (Say important things three times)
If you are not a semi-professional in painting, commonly known as having two brushes, then the blackboard wall area in your home will be as big as the pit! The pit is as deep as the color of the blackboard wall. So, think twice before you act!
However, although there are pitfalls, we can find the right way to fill them. Taking advantage of this long holiday, I will share some of my little experiences. If you think there is something worthwhile, just jump into this pit with your eyes closed. Because the moment you fill the hole, you will get an irreplaceable sense of satisfaction.
♀? Let me first introduce the skills of me and my family:
Maitreya: I studied traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy for one semester in primary school, and skipped classes after learning plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum. , calligraphy barely lasted three years. When I was in elementary school, I always posted class blackboard papers and was responsible for writing.
Family: I studied sketching for one year in primary school.
In short, our painting skills were at their peak in elementary school, and we have never engaged in any painting-related work since then. The only thing related to painting is probably doodling in textbooks based on comic books.
♀? Let’s take a look at our self-defeating blackboard wall:
The center of sight of the whole house, the intersection of moving lines, 1.7m*2.2m, black and gray. Compared with our skill points, it is simply a black hole in the universe. . .
Behind this is a story of blood and tears: Before the renovation, I wanted to create a small, inconspicuous area in the corner. When I was interested, I painted a few strokes. If I was lazy, it didn’t matter if I left it empty. The difficulty level was low. Because of the twists and turns that I don’t want to mention again, I was forced to make a choice between “completely abandoning the blackboard wall” vs. “painting a black and gray 4-square-meter blackboard wall in the center of the house’s sight.” Finally, under the urging of the work captain and the dual push of not wanting to give up the blackboard wall, I bit the bullet.
The following are the pictorials we drew in a hurry during the house drying process for Xiami’s birthday in June, and the first and third issues of the Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year after moving in. It feels okay. Although it can't compare with the master-level ones, at least you don't have to avoid it when taking photos, and it can also be used as a background board or something. Yesterday, Sumitomo @I said that I borrowed from my New Year's blackboard newspaper, and she shed tears for a long time?
Now let's talk about my method of filling holes: Method 1 of consuming area: fixed screen content
p>
My family uses dried shrimps, which was actually done by mistake. Later I found out that this is a wonderful lazy trick! It can also provide good continuity for each issue of the blackboard newspaper. The second way to consume area: install fixed objects on the wall
My home is equipped with wall clocks, shelves, wall green plants, etc., which consumes area and increases practicality at the same time. The picture shows the storage rack used by @rococo at home: Tip 3 for consuming space: Hanging non-fixed decorations on the wall
It is recommended to change them frequently to suit the situation. Small colorful flags for happy birthday, New Year's couplets, anniversary photos, letter magnets, and small decorations like the small embroidery studio I used this year. There are always some gadgets at home. I go around and figure them out. There will be new ideas.
[TIP: For fixing decorations, the blackboard paint supplier may recommend applying magnetic powder. Personally, I don’t think it makes much sense because it’s too! expensive! Got it! Several times more expensive than blackboard paint. The key is that the suction power is not worthy of its price, and it can only attract magnets. It can be completely replaced with blue butyl tape and MT tape, which are inexpensive and high-quality tools that do not damage the wall. ]
After the three methods, you have consumed 1/3 of the screen. For example, draw a picture frame on an anniversary and put a photo wall inside it. Okay, 70% of the area is full?♀?Yes Isn't it so easy, so it makes the pit a little shallower? (Again, this guide is not suitable for masters. It will only affect people's free play.)
Of course, the most important thing is to draw, otherwise the clipboard will not be a blackboard wall. Many of the methods I list next come from the master @rococo. Let me stand on the shoulders of giants and reveal to you the giants’ equipment. Equipment 1: Picture Gallery
Of course you can search for pictures on Baidu. For more professional ones, you can search: Hailuo Zakuu:.
The latter is more recommended, because the tolerance and correlation of keyword searches are relatively high, and reliable results can be obtained for stream-of-consciousness searches like "rat fortune". In addition, we concluded the truth after taking pictures of Xiami until we vomited blood: Don’t be furry! Regardless of people, animals, or objects, everything looks three-dimensional, realistic, beautiful and textured! No! want! Try to choose stick-drawing cartoons with simple lines and clean shapes. Equipment 2: English flower font
English font online conversion: /calligraphy/
It is very simple to use, enter the sentence you want to write, and click on the various fonts shown below that you like , the system will automatically display your sentences in this font. Equipment 3: Chinese flower font
For Chinese flower fonts, I have not found one that is as flexible, easy to use and comprehensive as English. The next best thing is Baidu's "affiliated font generator" and "regular script font generator" Search targeted one by one. There is also a simple but clever method: Meitu Xiu Xiu app, take a black or white photo, select the font in the text adding function, and choose the words you like.
In short: There are not enough words to make up the pictures. The writing method is eye-catching, beautiful and covers a large area. Everyone must learn and use it.
Okay, now that you have the three major methods and the three equipments, let’s fill in the holes together. The first step: set the theme as you like
The blackboard wall has a particularly strong correlation with the sense of ritual. Unless there is a special day, few people would think about changing the bar every day. Birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, your motivation for changing the blackboard wall should be your theme. The second step to fill in the pit: flash the phone to find inspiration
As a person with zero imagination, the picture in my mind is blank after setting the theme. The state of "a beautiful picture appears in my mind and I want to draw it" is a mirage. . . I usually search various pictures using theme keywords in the cool gallery of Hailuo Station to find inspiration, and slowly piece together the look I want. Don't be afraid to use ism. We are not professionals. I am proud of what I can describe. Of course, there is no need to follow suit. 100% picture search, 50% patchwork and grafting, and 20% change can turn borrowingism into egoism.
This is a comparison of the pictures I selected for the New Year and the final pictures. Can you spot the little thoughts of grafting ideas and self-expression in them? The third step of filling in the hole: Make a draft with pen and paper
- Use the real length and width of the blackboard wall to draw a square frame in equal proportions on the paper. This is to have a grasp of the true proportions of the picture
- Put the searched pictures together, including the selected decorations and words, to feel the overall feeling of the picture and color. If you feel that changing it again and again is too annoying, there is no need to wait for the puzzle function of Meitu Xiuxiu at this time. when?
- After determining the composition of the picture, draw a draft on paper according to the true proportions, and mark the size and position of the main objects with a rough mark on the blackboard wall. The purpose is to improve the ability to master the proportions of the composition. We, the weak, should not keep painting until we are unable to finish painting. . . The fourth step to fill in the pit: draw as much as you can at an elementary school level!
It is recommended to use white or a color you know will be used to lightly apply the base color. The advantage of white is that even if there are some waste lines, you don’t need to wipe them specially. It can be easily covered by other colors and can also be used to increase the three-dimensional effect. secondary line.
Other hole-filling gadgets: Leave an uncolored object with only lines in the picture to mark the wifi password. Guests will find it very interesting when they come to your door ~ Paste a line along the wall to compare The wide textured paper MT tape can prevent chalk dust from being stepped on by your feet and seeping into the cracks of the floor when painting. It is laborious to wipe off. After all, you will just want to collapse after painting. Not like me who was cornered, no! want! Paint a dark, large-area blackboard wall in the center of the house. You can find a corner and make a small area. I have to finish the painting on my knees, so why bother. . .
There are also a few red-line warnings: No matter how dust-free the chalk is, it will fall dust, especially when painting a large area. If you are very concerned about the chalk dust, such as a child who is asthmatic or something, replace the glass. A writing board made of high-quality materials may be more suitable. My painting level is so difficult that even a simple drawing would be difficult. Don’t embarrass yourself. Really, after all, blackboard paint is more expensive than latex paint. The last point is purely personal. I persisted because my family members can also paint a little and we have fun painting together. It is a bit difficult for me to finish painting a large wall alone and alone.
If you enjoy it completely, then there is no problem. Otherwise, think about it again?
Finally, let’s summarize the raw materials, which have been mentioned in many Sumitomo articles
1. Blackboard paint
I have used the familiar Danish Fulege, and also I have used the German Schunavoen recommended by rococo. The latter is much more expensive, but the foremen and masters all said that the paint is good and there is no smell at all when painting. I guess the environmental protection index is indeed higher. Schunavoen can also be used in ordinary paint. Add a layer of clear blackboard paint to latex paint for wider applicability. But both brands cannot avoid leaving scratches and marks every time they are wiped. In terms of color, the current blackboard paint color card is comparable to latex paint. Although darker blackboard paint is definitely easier to produce results, the corresponding pressure will be greater to fill it up. A light gray blackboard wall will be empty if you leave it empty, and a black one will be empty. . .
2. Blackboard stickers
I learned about the magnet type "Cishenjia" from @唷sting. It is especially suitable for those who have psychological barriers to wall painting and cannot face themselves. Soul-tortured masses.
In fact, whether it is blackboard paint or blackboard stickers, it does not necessarily have to be used on walls. It can also be used on flat cabinet doors, interior doors, etc. Take a look at the wonderful uses and pictures from the side of the smelly refrigerator, so that everyone can make the best use of them.
I hope this sharing is useful to you, and everyone can have an eye-catching blackboard wall. Wish you a healthy new year. ?
