If you want to create a panel of stones, you need to choose stones, learn the technique of execution. The information in the article will help you take the first steps in this direction, perhaps give you some ideas.

Panel material

best material for the manufacture of paintings and experts consider pebbles. These pebbles, processed by a natural grinder - the sea - are suitable not only for creating a picture, but also serve as a material on which the decor drawn with paints and felt-tip pens looks great. A panel decorated with a decorative pattern will be an original addition to the interior of a room, corridor, kitchen.

You can create a panel of natural stones and minerals, which include marble, granite, onyx, amber, malachite, onyx. The options for paintings created from this material are not limited. These can be pictures of nature, the coast of the sea, panels on domestic and tourist themes. Any stones can be purchased in the departments of decorative materials stores intended for crafts. The most budgetary option is to bring pebbles from places of rest and make original paintings from it.

Where to begin?

DIY stone paneling is one of the most popular areas in creativity, developing imagination, individual abilities of children and adults. Using pebbles, you can create various attractive compositions that can be used for decorative purposes. In order to make a panel on the wall, you need to draw it and prepare materials for its creation. These should be:

• a suitable frame in which to create wall panel;
• flat pebbles or any stone materials of various sizes;
• varnish and brushes;
• glue gun;
• a substrate on which a panel of stones will be formed.

The next step will be the selection of elements of the picture from the selected stone. If you need to enter into the picture additional material and she will only benefit from this, it can be done. The accompanying material can be twigs, tree bark, splint. In principle, any material that will make a panel of stones more beautiful.

Stages of work

The existing frame needs to be painted or varnished, depending on the variant of the panel. You can use a photo as a substrate, which will serve as a background. It can be any landscape that would look great on a pebble painting.

If the stone on the wall is intended for a children's room, the next step will be the selection of pebbles, on which you will need to paint houses, cars and other constituent elements for the panel with paints. With such a task, the child will cope with pleasure.

The painted pebbles are ready to take their places in the picture. With the help of a glue gun, fine sand, miniature pebbles of the curb and twigs-trees are glued onto the substrate. Then houses and cars are placed and glued. The panel can be covered with hairspray. It will give shine to the sand and will not crumble.

Pictures from amber chips

On the picturesque edged with bark, a panel made of natural stone looks great - amber crumbs. Working with amber is not as difficult as it might seem. The main thing is to decide on the pattern according to which the work will be done. Paintings of nature, seascapes and mountain ranges are original - a theme that looks very beautiful on a created stone panel. As always, you need to start with a drawing. The cut of the tree should be 1.5-2 cm thick. It must be carefully sanded with fine sandpaper and applied with a pattern.

The next step is gluing. It is a solution of PVA glue with water. It is applied to a wooden cut and allowed to dry. Drawing on a tree is applied with tempera glue or oil paints.

Why can't you use watercolors and gouache? amber on wooden base will be glued to the PVA. Water based paints may run. Drawing paints applied twice. The first underpainting is done liquidly, after drying, an adhesive film is formed. A second coloring is done on it for juiciness.

An inlay is made on the traced background. You can not pour a small crumb of amber on the picture. It should be laid out in places where the composition requires it. Larger pieces are laid out in places of large areas of hardwood. The smaller ones are glued between the larger ones. No need to glue the stones one by one. This makes the composition heavier. A panel with a birch will look great in any room.

To create a panel of stones, it is enough to have a few pebbles different color, canvas and glue gun. The idea of ​​such a composition is to select the shapes and sizes of pebbles and place them on the canvas. It turns out quite concise stories.

Additional material in the form of a dry twig can be added to the pebbles for the expressiveness of the picture. In one case, a branch plays the role of a log on which the family is located. In the other two cases (photo above), there are contrasting pebbles and a branch, on which, on one side, there are two birds, and on the other side, a bird and a nest. The composition feels incredibly light, although the pebbles are a heavy material.

What is the need to start independent creativity? For work you will need:
Stones of optimal size;
different shades acrylic paints;
Several sizes of brushes (large and small);
Moisture resistant adhesive;
Sheet of paper and pencil.

Initially, you need to create a sketch of the image on a piece of paper. Then you should clean the dirty stones, rinse them well with water and allow to dry.

Photo of works with paint on stones:

You've probably already seen all the wall art ideas except for one. Indeed, in this material we want to show you charming stories made from ordinary sea pebbles! These pebbles are great for this kind of creativity: they are flat, so they can fit under glass. And yet, they are all so different that they ask to become part of an interesting panel. Check out the examples of work and you will surely want to create something like this!

Several pebbles different colors, a good frame, hot glue (from a glue gun) and fantasy - that's what you need to create such a masterpiece. Simply apply glue to the stone and press it down on the desired spot on the canvas. Add other stones - and get a concise, but very beautiful plot. For example, here is a wedding.

Or a great family "portrait", where the husband, wife and kids seem to be sitting on a branch. Of course, in addition to pebbles, you can add other materials to the work: the branch here is made from a dry branch with a fork.

Another wedding scene. Newlyweds in beautiful clothes (yes, and this can also be conveyed by ordinary pebbles) enjoy each other's company on the seashore. Please note that the pebbles almost do not step on each other, because otherwise the composition may become too voluminous and not fit under the glass.

Here is another family portrait. The focus is on the couple, on which the whole family depends. This married couple has two children, but despite this they carried their feelings through all the trials of fate. Such tenderness can be embodied in stone!

Here, too, additional material was used - a branch and a pencil, with which the birds' beaks are completed. Stone is a heavy material, but looking at this panel, on the contrary, there is a feeling of lightness, isn't it?

And even daisies can be made from pebbles! Just choose contrasting colors and lay out the petals with thin white pebbles. Draw the legs of the flowers - and you're done!

And here, for sure, different generations are depicted. You see - one pair of silhouettes is more monumental, and the second is more "alive". By picking up stones with curves, you can depict younger people.

On the next panel, people are depicted interspersed with stones, but for some reason there is no doubt exactly where the people are and where the stones are. It's all about the skill of the artist and the thoughtfulness of the details of the pebbles.

Here is the romantic scene. The lovers stand on the biggest stone - this is probably a hint of their feelings ...

A variation on the same theme, only with a different configuration of pebbles.

And here again the birds, but not on a branch, but on stones. Perhaps in nature there is such a small pebble with which you can display a beak, but it's easier to draw it.

And this is just a wonderful picture: a father and son fly kites into the sky! The threads stretching from the kites are also drawn in pencil. Everything is simple, but appropriate.

But not birds, but people are already sitting on a branch.

A couple on a walk climbs out onto the stones. Thanks to curly pebbles, it is clear who is a guy and who is a girl.

Again the birds. The smaller the pebbles, the more birds you can fit on one branch.

But this is just great idea. The lovers "coo" on the bench, and the moon shines above them. So, thanks to one tiny pebble, the author makes it clear that the panel depicts the night.

This time the birds are depicted on the wires. The legs of the birds are drawn, but the wire is stretched real - wire.

Children rejoice balloons made of perfectly oval stones.

Another version of the kite is such a textured pebble. It looks like a small heart, and is very suitable for the image of a snake.

The bride and groom have climbed to the highest level of their relationship.

The bird flew into a nest made of additional materials.

And here is a lonely lighthouse in the darkness of the night. And by the light of the moon, which is represented by a small pebble.

And here it is a sunny day, and the girl is going to climb a tree to pick apples. Even such nuances can be shown in the picture with ordinary pebbles.

Well, did you like stone panels? There is just a little bit left: to dig out your stocks of pebbles (you bring pebbles from a seaside vacation, right?) and make a similar picture on any topic.

See how to paint on stones.

Decide if this natural material needs to be primed first. Usually white acrylic paint is used as such a coating. Then subsequent layers will be more juicy. You can also primer when the stone itself is dark, and the pattern should be light.

When the primer dries, draw the outlines of the plot with a pencil. Then you need to cover the workpiece with paints of the appropriate color. Acrylics dry quickly, so you don’t have to wait long to use the next after the first color.
