Woodcarving: paintings with contour and relief carving

Paintings on the walls give the house coziness and warmth. In creating the decor of the interior used as painted compositions, and printed. A greater impression of luxury is created by wooden paintings. They are quite expensive, because the creation of a wooden exhibition requires not only the costs of materials, but also the forces of the master. You yourself can perform a 3D picture if you are interested in carving. Wood carving: painting by yourself can be your hobby or the main occupation that generates income.

How to make wood paintings

To be engaged in carving, you need to purchase special tools and stock up on the material. Full-value panels should be performed on quality raw materials. Experienced carvings can create compositions from pieces of wood in such a way that no seams are visible.

The beginner should try to choose the workpiece, so that the picture on the tree was smooth, without knots. Although some carvings, on the contrary, use irregularities and knots for completeness of the picture, highlighting them.

Choose the sketches for your future picture, if you have artistic abilities, you can come up with your own drawing and paint it on the workpiece with a pencil. Beginners can use the ready sketches depicted in the photo:

Pictures can be executed as a simple way of carving - contour, and relief.

With contour threading you will need chisels and knife-jamb. You need to cut out grooves along these contours with these tools. Gutters can be either triangular or oval. It depends on whether you are doing an oval or triangular chisel.

Look impressive pictures cut out on the workpiece, covered with dark varnish or paint. A bright pattern stands out clearly on a black background. This method of threading is called black-lacquered. When working with such a thread, it should be no less accurate and try not to make an error. Although minor flaws can be masked by paint.

Relief patterns are more complex in execution and require more skills and tools. The drawing can be either on a level with the background, or higher. In the first case, the contour thread is made and the edges are scored. The impression of volume is created. In the second case, the background is neatly selected and cleaned.

With embossed threads it is necessary to work carefully with the execution of forms, so as not to damage the pattern and background, because careless movement of the work can be immediately rejected.

Pictures can be multi-level. When you create them, you need to think carefully about how to perform the lower level and the upper one. After all, because of a mistake in the first stage, the external details may not correspond to the idea. Also, do not cut the top level first, because it will be difficult to detail the drawing.

To see how 3D images are done on a tree, look at the video where the wizard will show you what tools you can work with and how to draw a picture.

You can create unique patterns by applying one piece bar to another. This works with works carved with openwork carvings. With this method, you have to completely cut out the background of the picture, which can be performed by manual or electric jigsaw. After cutting out the necessary pattern and careful processing of its surface, it is necessary to attach the workpiece to a solid board. The basis can be painted or varnished. With this method of making pictures, the pattern is more pronounced than with the relief carving. But for beginners this method is difficult, so debutants should start with a simple one.

The picture looks more impressive if it is framed. It can be cut out on the workpiece itself with the drawing. You can make a frame separately and attach to your product.
