A special place is occupied by modular paintings on glass made using special inks and printers.

How to make a modular picture with your own hands


It is not necessary to be a talented artist and designer to get a unique product. It is enough to choose any picture you like and print it using special equipment on fabric, paper or other sheet material. After this, it remains only to cut the image into the appropriate elements and fix them.


The process of creating a picture of the modules
Method No. 1


To make a modular picture for the kitchen, it is necessary to prepare several frame wooden structures of various sizes and fix the finished printed image on them using a furniture stapler. At the same time, keep in mind that the frame itself must remain on the wrong side.

in the absence of the ability to print and independently write pictures, you can use brightly patterned fabric as a canvas;

if desired, the frame can be replaced with a piece of chipboard or plywood of a rectangular shape.

Method №2 (Modular picture "Flowers")


1. Prepare oil or other paints that do not fade and are used to paint batik, paintings on canvas.

2. Take a few canvases and frame structures of a certain size. At the same time, keep in mind that the latter should be slightly smaller than the fabric, otherwise you will not be able to fix the resulting image.

3. Secure the canvas to each frame using a furniture stapler.

If acrylic paints are used, then it is better to work with them on cotton fabric or silk (batik technique). The advantage of this method is that you sketch first on a paper sheet and then lay it under the fabric.

On the reverse side, be sure to mark the order of location of the individual modules.

5. After the schematic drawing is ready, you can proceed to design with color.

6. When the canvas dries, install it on the wall.

If your modular painting “Orchid” will be located in a darkened place, then install additional illumination on the side, or light coming from the inside.
