Gzhel and Gorodets painting
This type of painted decor appeared in the Nizhny Novgorod region and initially managed to gain the attention of artists. For the first time this painting was presented to the public in the 19th century. It is known that this artistic motive is distinguished by the complexity of the drawing. At the same time, artists apply it without a preliminary sketch.
The main shades that create the background are the bright tones of reds and oranges. Tempera paints can also be applied to a white or cream background. As an addition, shades of green, burgundy, blue are used. Some drawings try to use black tones, especially if artistic objects occupy the main space in the drawing.

This design option is acceptable for painting household wooden appliancesas well as utensils.Such decorative decoration is often found on kitchen sets. The main tones that are used for coloring are black and red. Fractional patterns and repeating miniature patterns are encouraged.
The main feature is that the painting is done exclusively on a clean, previously unprimed tree. In a similar way, they have long tried to paint rounded objects: caskets, barrels, hand mills. This tradition has survived to our time.

Preparing a wooden surface for painting: important points
In order to prepare the product for future painting, you need to follow a few simple steps. The most important thing is to have the necessary tools and materials on hand. So, for the preparatory stage you will need:
For painting, you can use special templates with the ability to transfer them to the base

Next, we proceed as follows:
- We cover the table or any other surface on which we will work with the film. You can also use old waste rags for this purpose.
- We clean off the roughness of the product. For this we use sandpaper with abrasive No. 0. In case there is more roughness, you need to take larger sanding paper.
- We sweep away all the trash. We mix PVA glue with water in proportions 2: 8, respectively.
- Stir the solution, then apply it to the wooden surface with a brush. We do this two times, first horizontally, then vertically.
- We wait until the tree dries, sand the irregularities that appear. Then you can start painting the surface.
Together with water, the glue creates a protective layer, on which the paint is perfectly applied and is not absorbed into the wood in the future. In addition, the coating along with the varnish will always remain bright and new.
Painted items are not used, but serve as decoration

How to transfer a drawing to a wooden surface
Real artists prefer to use different ways of transferring sketches to wood. Our editorial staff offers for consideration the most basic techniques that are suitable even for those who absolutely do not understand anything in this direction.
Using a stencil
All you need is a specially prepared stencil with the selected pattern. Of course, it is better to purchase it in the store, but you can also print it. However, to prevent the paper from getting wet and torn during transfer, you will need to sketch on cardboard.
All details are cut out on the stencil, so a sketch is optional. You can immediately start coloring

We put the prepared surface on the table, check that it does not stagger. Next, we apply a stencil and carefully, without pressing, draw a sketch with a simple pencil. After that, you can, without waiting, start painting with paints.
Pointwise way
The point technique is considered one of the most difficult. In this method, it is important not to miss the elements, otherwise, you can get an incorrect drawing. All drawing is done by applying paths. In addition to them, points of different diameters are set. The result is a spectacular pattern.
Some drawings are simply transferred to surfaces through a carbon copy.

If a drawing is selected, in which, except for points, there is nothing, each element is simply traced along the outer contour, or immediately proceed directly to painting. However, for such purposes, it is better to purchase plastic or rigid silicone transfer blanks.
Drawing from sketches
To implement such tactics, it is imperative to complete a preliminary drawing separately on paper. Those who create it on their own, and do not print, can easily transfer the image immediately with paints.
To transfer the drawing as clearly as possible, instead of a pencil, you can use dots

In addition, the sketch is very easy to carry over through the carbon copy. It is only important to securely fix the schematic drawing and trace it around the contour. This is necessary to avoid ink stains and scuffs.
How to paint a wooden blank with your own hands with different colors

On the cuts, animals, birds, still lifes are interesting. In the future, they serve as paintings for the decoration of kitchens, hallways, corridors

Painting with watercolors: video
You can paint wood using watercolors. But this material is used more in the landscape technique. Various pictures are created on the cuts. We bring to your attention one of the interesting options in the video tutorial.
Gouache drawing
They try to use gouache painting on any wooden surfaces. To begin with, prepare the base, then wait for it to dry and proceed to action.
| Illustration | Description |
|---|---|
 | Take a red shade and dilute it with whitewash to get a pale tone. With a brush in the center of the workpiece, make a filled circle. Next we draw a second one of the same, but only of a smaller diameter. We create a rose. To do this, near the circle we make monograms of white and burgundy |
 | In a circular motion, draw the second flower located above. Create some elements with a double color. To do this, we do not connect two shades, but simply put them side by side so that the brush captures them at the same time. |
 | We must complement all the main colors, using white or gray tones for this. They create the outline and make the painting live. So that the tablet does not look empty, the drawing must be complemented with blue or dark green leaves. Then they are set off with a small amount of white |
As a result, it remains to wait for drying and finish the board with a transparent varnish.
Painting wood with oil paints: features
Oil paints are used by those who are already fluent in the skills of painting on wood. This is one of the best options for applying decor to any type of wood. With the correct processing of the workpiece, it is possible to obtain incredibly bright patterns in dark colors.
It is better to use material without knots to keep the image well.

The main disadvantage of this technique is that the oil base dries for a very long time. Therefore, it will take a week to complete a masterpiece.
Painting with tempera paints: the basics
Tempera paints perfectly fit the surface and do not spread even if the painting is carried out on a glossy finish.The main condition when using this technique is the presence of a frame around the already finished ornament.

This raw material is made on a tempera basis, so paints are considered the most reliable when painting on a wooden surface. Some even successfully apply images to unprepared wood. Tempera paints are perfectly water-thinnable and very easy to wash off. Accordingly, it is possible to correct the drawing.
Aniline paints
Aniline paints are equally suitable for painting on wood and fabric. They are stable, do not erode, do not spread. Such contours are applied using soft brushes with neat strokes.
Coloring compositions are sold in jars or tubes with dispensers
