Sculptural painting is a symbiosis of flat painting and three—dimensional sculpture, it allows you to create three-dimensional colorful paintings on different subjects: flowers, still lifes, landscapes, animalism and even portraits.
Let me remind you that the main materials and tools are:
texture paste in jars of the brand "Evgenia Ermilova",
texture paste for relief ornament in tubes,
palette knives and a solid base.
You can do without additional tools. But carefully study the following list. These additional tools can make your job easier.
Additional tools for sculptural painting:
1️⃣The palette on which the paste is laid out and the petals are typed. As a palette, you can use any clean smooth surface: a piece of plastic, glass, plastic modeling boards, etc.
2️⃣Paper towels or napkins.
Palette knives need to be kept clean and constantly wiped with napkins.
3️⃣Water in the spray gun.
One of the rules of sculptural painting technique is a pure palette. Water may be needed to remove dried paste from the palette. In addition, with the help of water, you can remove dirt from the paste if you accidentally stained the background when applying a petal or leaf.
4️⃣Brushes.
Brushes may be needed to gently correct the curve of the petal. You can do this with the back of a palette knife, but very carefully and gently. Brushes are also needed to apply the finish coating. It is more convenient to use synthetic ones for this.
5️⃣It's good to have different types of stencils.
With the help of stencils, you can decorate the background of paintings, decorate frames, make additional decor.
6️⃣Finish coating.
We recommend using a
colorless matte varnish of our brand. It protects finished paintings from external influences: moisture, dust and ultraviolet. Matte varnish fills the pores of the plaster and creates a transparent invisible film without a glossy sheen that spoils three-dimensional paintings.
7️⃣In addition, the varnish can be used as glue for beads or decorative beads.
It is desirable to have tweezers. When creating flowers with stamens with tweezers, it is more convenient to insert them. You can accidentally touch the petals with your hands.
8️⃣It is advisable to purchase an Itten color circle.
This is a convenient tool for understanding and fixing the rules for combining shades according to color theory. He will help you in choosing the shades of paste to create paintings.
