Surely everyone has already thought through and prepared the decor for the New Year, and many have decorated the house for the holiday, and yet… I accidentally saw an idea that I just can’t help but share! Of course, it’s a matter of taste, but I was literally fascinated by the products in this technique. In general, look!
Paintings made of natural materials. For most use dried flowers, fruits, seeds and leaves, but for New Year’s take fresh twigs of conifers. Dry needles will lose their juicy green color, and it looks so beautiful in pictures!
An absolute plus of crafts is the availability of materials. And each of them can be easily replaced with those that are at hand! Yes, they will need only nothing — a handful is hardly enough! The basis of the colour Board. It is impossible to see in the photo, but I would do it on velvety-the perfect night sky! No colored cardboard? That’s not a problem! Make your picture on a piece of board (even a new cutting board will do) or cut out a blank from a cardboard box. Unsightly color can be refined with ordinary watercolor paint. And if it is not, cover or cover the base with a suitable fabric — – the picture will look even more original!
Well, tell me, looking at these winter landscapes, do you really not have a fabulously beautiful expectation of a holiday, New Year’s miracles? Doesn’t it seem that something very good is about to happen, something that I have long dreamed of and already managed to forget?
Oh, and it’s cold in the winter forest, by night the frost grows stronger. Do you want to look into the forest hut? Inside, it’s warm and cozy, smells of pine needles, and a dog is sleeping peacefully on the hearthrug. Sit in a chair, close to the fire, to warm up as soon as possible.
Look out the window: the snow-covered clearing was visited by deer. I never would have guessed that you could make such cute animals out of dry leaves!
You can paint the leaves in any color, and if you want, make pictures without them at all. The main thing for the winter mood — as much snow as possible!
In the photo below, the works that took me forever to contemplate before I saw enough of them. Only a real artist can create something like this, but if you want, you can try to reproduce his creations. Well, or at least to admire them, admiring the skill of the master.
However, you can not immediately take a swing at such complex canvases, but practice on ideas that can be repeated by a beginner.
If you’ve saved up too much supplies, here are some more charming creative ideas. It is a pity that the beauty of paintings with fresh coniferous greenery is fleeting – soon the Christmas trees will turn red. But after all, it will take a little time to create them, and the trees should not be offended: thanks to moderate pinching, they will only become prettier.
And you can also use twigs of spruce, thuja and juniper to decorate gifts: just look at how original and definitely Christmas-like the simplest packaging looks with them! I think if you dust the twigs with snow, it will be even better. Especially if winter has not yet reached your edges, and it is gray and slushy outside the window in autumn.
If the idea of making pictures of dried leaves and flowers has captured you, I will show you some more wonderful options. True, to make them, you will need a decent supply of various plant material, which you may not have now.
Nothing to worry about: if you want, you can collect enough for the spring and summer to cover an entire art gallery. And you are unlikely to stop at one job.
Tell me, is it possible to limit yourself to one picture, if you like several at once? And how to choose the best one, because each one is good in its own way!
And here are some ideas for autumn lovers. She will paint the leaves and berries herself, you will only have to choose the most beautiful ones.
Well, if you want a picture in calmer colors, take a closer look at these works. They made me feel a little sad, but I still liked them very much.
Perhaps I was too carried away… and I was going to limit myself to the New Year and winter theme. But what’s done is done: I hope you were interested in walking through this unusual art gallery.
