Stencils for dot painting It is very convenient to use in creativity, especially for those who do not know how to draw, but want to create beautiful things with their own hands. Ready-made stencils can be purchased at the store or you can make them yourself by cutting them out of paper or plastic. Drawings for stencils can be taken both from the Internet and from books, for example, coloring books. Stencils of patterns, flowers and butterflies are suitable for dot painting. The more lines, the better, since the dots need to cover the entire drawing.

For beginners, we offer several visual master classes on dot painting using stencils.

Let's start with the basics

Spot painting can be used on any items from various materials. With special contour paints you can do spot painting on glass, leather, wood, ceramics, etc.

Let's look at how you can paint a bottle, plate, glasses and box using a stencil.

First of all, you need to prepare the following materials and tools:

• contour paints in tubes of any colors;
• liquid for degreasing surfaces (glass or ceramic), for example, alcohol or nail polish remover;
• a prepared picture or a ready-made cut out stencil;
• scotch;
• cotton swabs to remove excess paint and correct mistakes;
• needle for cleaning the tube.

There is no need for brushes, since the paint is applied in contours and dots directly from the tube spout.

It is worth noting that the diameter of the point depends on the force of pressure on the tube: the stronger and longer the pressure, the larger the point.

Before work, it is recommended to practice placing dots of different sizes at equal distances on paper. You can try to draw a simple geometric pattern, a circle, a wave. It is necessary to ensure that the points do not merge into one line, but also do not look scattered.

Paint ceramic or glass plate easier than other items, since the surface of the plate is usually relatively flat and smooth. If you plan to use the plate for its intended purpose, then it is better to take a glass one and paint on the outside. In any case, painting on a ceramic plate is done on the inside. If this plate is intended for food, it must be coated with a special acrylic varnish in several layers to protect the painting from water and mechanical stress.

A plate made of any material – ceramics, glass, wood – can be used as decoration. It can be painted from any convenient side. As a rule, such plates are very flat, without raised sides.

Progress:

1. Degrease the surface of the plate;

1. Select a stencil with a round pattern according to the size of the plate and secure it with tape;

1. Start painting along the contours of the drawing, placing dots at a large distance from each other (they will serve as a guide);

1. Let the paint dry and peel off the stencil;

1. Add dots to the drawing, changing their size and color;

1. Leave the finished craft to dry;

1. Coat with acrylic varnish if necessary.

Stencils for plates can be like this:

Decorating bottles is a popular activity among novice craftsmen. Find unnecessary glass bottle will not be difficult, and there is plenty of flight for imagination here.

Dot painting can be one of the ways to decorate a bottle, or it can be an addition to other types of decoration. For example, a bottle can be painted with acrylic paints and the finishing done with dot painting. Or you can use colored dots to create decoupage.

Small stencils depicting vegetation or simple patterns are suitable for painting glasses. You can also draw a sketch by hand. If contour drawings are used, they must be secured on the inside of the glass using tape or tape.

When the template is well secured, you should begin painting, guided by the lines of the drawing.

Spot painting on glasses can be used as an additional decoration for a picture made with acrylic paints.

Second option

The boxes are somewhat more difficult to paint, since all sides and edges need to be processed. This may take some time, but the result will definitely please you.

It is not necessary to take the box directly for painting. It can be any tin or wooden box with a lid. Beautiful and original painting will help transform a simple box into a real box.

Progress:

1. Make a stencil to size. It is necessary to select round, square or rectangular patterns for the lid and walls of the box. Then the pattern is transferred to a plastic corner folder and carefully cut out with a stationery knife.

1. Attach the finished stencil to the box and mark the contours of the design elements with rare dots. Let the paint dry and remove the stencil.

1. Proceed with spot painting, focusing on the designated points. It is advisable to fill the pattern with dots in different colors.

Glass painting is certainly a creative activity in which you want to give full rein to your imagination. However, the use ready-made stencils It will not only help beginners who don’t yet have much experience in this hobby to find their way, but also make an even, symmetrical drawing. Stencils for beautiful and original painting on pre-prepared glass are sold in specialized art stores, or you can make them yourself.

Learning to create stencils for spot painting on glass

Dot painting or, as it is also called in English books on needlework, “point-to-point”, has a great effect on the development of fantasy and spatial imagination. It is believed that this type of painting with acrylic paints is ideal for beginners and those who are not very good at drawing. And really, what could be simpler - to place dots of the same size at the same distance? However, after “training their hands,” some needlewomen begin to experience a creative crisis: it is not clear what can be depicted using this technique? Lines, spirals, waves... What else?

Experienced craftswomen deftly draw using the dot technique “out of their heads,” sometimes only outlining the main elements of the pattern with a pencil. However, such skill requires experience. It will be easier for beginners to navigate using ready-made templates– dot patterns in different styles. These can be either floral ornaments or stencils in an ethnic style. After all, we all remember that dot painting is one of the oldest methods of decoration. ceramic tableware, which was used in India and other Asian countries.

Tip: You don’t have to look only for stencils designed for creative painting. You can get inspired by any patterns (you can even just look at the finished works of other masters) and then simply repeat the pattern you like using dots.

Outlines- These are special paints that are packaged in small tubes. Using a dispenser, you can draw thin lines and patterns, as well as, in fact, outlines for other images: for example, draw an outline and then paint over it with stained glass paints. After successful work With contours, you can move on to working with translucent paints.

Wedding glasses or other glassware are often painted with outlines.

With a little patience you can draw fancy patterns that look like real lace or feathers. For complex drawings using contours, not stencils are used, but templates - ready-made drawings, which you will then need to repeat yourself. This, of course, is not as simple as tracing a stencil, but in any case, it is much easier than coming up with a pattern yourself.

Painting with stained glass paints suitable for more experienced craftswomen, because They harden quite quickly and are difficult to apply neatly within the boundaries of the contour. Also, due to this, it can be difficult to mix the necessary colors on the palette. In such cases, even more so, you can’t do without a stencil, especially if you plan to paint on large objects. Images consisting of several parts, for example, applied to two doors of a transparent cabinet, look very interesting.

For stained glass painting Almost any drawing will do. On large surfaces, for example, glass in doorways, you can depict real paintings. It is also very convenient to paint on large glass dishes or trays. Abstract or floral patterns that close into a ring look good on glasses or bottles.

When choosing floral patterns, you should not limit yourself to banal roses and peonies. Dandelions losing their stamens, sunflowers, grape branches, etc. look fresh and unusual. It is most convenient to copy flowers from large photographs of them in order to repeat in detail the colors of the buds and branches.

Separately worth noting pictures depicting various animals and cartoon characters y. They can be an excellent decor in a children's room. For these drawings, you can safely use the brightest, most cheerful colors. When choosing characters, it is best to consult with your child or choose some neutral pictures: for example, cars for a boy’s nursery or fairies for a girl.

Colored glass painted with patterns can transform the space of any room beyond recognition. You should not be afraid of stained glass, thinking that they are only suitable for a room decorated in a classical style. Such paintings will easily fit into the most complex design project for decorating any room.

Video on the topic of the article

For greater clarity, we suggest watching the following videos, in which the process of painting with acrylic paints using templates is demonstrated step by step.

Painting is a pattern applied using a specific technique and style on various items of decorative and applied art. One of simple types painting is dot painting. For beginning artists, you can practice on paper before painting objects. Dot painting is a scattering of drops along the contour of the design, collecting an image like a mosaic of beads or rhinestones.

A dot pattern can be made using varnishes, paints applied to a thin stick, or a pencil. But of course the easiest way to apply a design is with durable acrylic paints, especially since these days paints can be purchased in a special tube with a cone tip, sold under the name contour. It was originally intended for painting on glass, to limit the spreading of stained glass paints. It produces dotted “rhinestones” mainly on glass, plastic and other smooth and hard surfaces.

Contours on dishes

Painting objects with dots has its own sequence in work. To learn how to make beautiful things using this technique, we will conduct a short master class and at the end we will provide several pattern diagrams.

So, first of all, we select the surface that we will paint.

Usually they paint dishes, bottles, cups, plates, boxes, figures, plastic surfaces of computer accessories, keyboards and mice, laptop covers, leather surfaces of passport covers and so on.

Before starting work, the surface must be degreased with a cotton swab containing alcohol or ordinary wet wipes. It is most convenient to work with glass, because on the reverse side you can attach a sketch of a drawing on paper and draw along the lines.

For example, MK "Painting glasses for a wedding."

We will need ordinary glasses, tracing paper, a pen, cotton pads and swabs, contour paint for glass and ceramics.

A pattern is drawn on tracing paper and secured to the inside of the walls with water or tape. Apply drops along the contours of the pattern.

You can draw arbitrarily on opaque surfaces, and in order to achieve the correct geometric shapes, you need to carefully draw lines manually or using stencils, cutting out the desired patterns from paper, be it a straight line or a bend, and attaching them with tape. Now you can paint along the edges.

If your product will have patterns with repeating fragments, then the use of stencils and templates is mandatory, prepare necessary forms in advance.

Spot painting with contours can be combined with lines and other ready-made designs. Cover the entire space or just some part of the item. Frame it with a frame, make a background for a central item, or give it volume.

Drawing errors are corrected with cotton pads, swabs moistened with alcohol or wet wipes.

Drawing styles

The use of paintings in different styles gives an ordinary item a certain theme. This is very convenient if you are creating a special interior design for your home. Interestingly, the most famous styles and ornaments were historically created by folk craftsmen and housewives of various territories, and now every corner of the world has its own business card, in the form of colors and patterns. Let's take a short trip through the world of ornaments.

Use elements of Slavic folk ornaments in your works. There are many types of paintings with specific techniques and colors. You can create a set of dishes in a certain design style, using fragments of patterns that have been established in history. Use their embroidery patterns in your work.

Using this technique of drawing and applying ethnic patterns, you can create dishes and other household items in an Oriental or African interior style.

Spot painting can also be done with ordinary acrylic paints with brushes, but such drawings can be done by experienced craftsmen.

Very often they use painting of stones with mandala or drawings of animals. Such stones are used as a talisman and amulet in the home and serve as decoration.

• patterns for cross stitch or mosaic weaving with beads;
• beautiful patterns on fabrics (neck scarves in Oriental, Moroccan or African styles, imitation colors of various animals, floral motifs, etc.);
• crocheted openwork napkins or patterns for crocheting them;
• ethnic ornaments and patterns printed in a suitable size on paper (you can use books on traditions and ethnic embroidery;
• paper napkins or decoupage cards.

Inspiration in the search for patterns and ornaments can be found in the cultures of different nations: oriental mosques are famous for their floral patterns; in cathedrals you can borrow patterns from stained glass roses. A lot of useful information and diagrams can be found in various books on the history and construction of ornaments among different peoples.

Spot painting with contours: ready-made diagrams and stencils

Depending on the shape and size of the object, it is worth choosing a pattern. The simplest in execution and universal in purpose are simple geometric shapes. If you've never done dot painting before, start by tracing circles on a flat, rectangular-shaped surface such as a passport cover or cell phone case. Composing an ornament from simple shapes - circles, triangles, squares and lines different colors, you can achieve very interesting results. To achieve maximum effect, you just need to choose the right contour colors.

More complex circular and linear ornaments. To perform them, the surface of the product must first be prepared - apply barely noticeable marking lines with a pencil. If the work is to be done on a transparent glass surface, you can secure the sketch of the design on the back side with tape.

A large number of drawing schemes for dot painting can be found on the Internet. Here are just a few options for different items:

For the plates (most round designs, mandalas for coloring, etc. will work):

Oriental patterns (one of the most popular options is the Indian paisley cucumber in various combinations):

For glasses and bottles (light airy ornaments in the form of curls, or “seamless” linear patterns)

For various accessories (glasses cases, pencil cases, mobile phone cases, wallets and business card holders):

Working with diagrams

If the chosen pattern is counted (for cross stitch or bead embroidery), then you need to use a special glass pencil to mark the main axes (horizontal, vertical, center of the pattern) on the surface of the product. And start working based on these guidelines. It is better to start drawing vertical and horizontal patterns from the top line, from the central point to the sides - this way you will be able to maintain symmetry and follow the pattern. It is better to move round or figured motifs from the center of the picture to the sides, filling them with sectors.

If any non-countable pattern (fabric, paper, plastic) is used in the form of a diagram, then it is very convenient to secure it under the surface to be processed. Masking tape is suitable for this. Next, taking advantage of the transparency of the glass, it is enough to outline the main contours with a thin line of paint (you can also use a special pencil). When choosing paint for the outline, think about whether it will be too contrasting and flashy, and whether the fill dots will cover it. After the sketch has dried, you can start filling in the elements with dots.

It is important to be sure to let each color and row of dots dry, otherwise the drawing may become blurred or merge into untidy blots. In this way, you can transfer the design to flat plates or photo frames, and to more complex objects (vases, glasses, etc.). In the second case, the selected circuit is placed and secured inside the vessel.

To work in the dot painting technique, a special paint is used - acrylic contours. From ordinary acrylic paints the contour differs in packaging - most often these are metal (less often plastic) tubes of small volume with a thin long spout, which is very convenient for placing dots. In addition to packaging, contours differ in consistency - they are usually thicker, and in their ability to hold their shape - ideally, the contour does not settle, and the resulting dots retain their volume, giving the finished work a relief that is pleasant to the touch.

In order not to spoil the work, a new tube of contour must be tested on a small piece of wood or glass. Try putting different sized dots on them and see how the paint behaves on the surface. Sometimes a completely fresh contour can be put in the refrigerator for an hour or two before work - this way it becomes thicker and does not spread. And, of course, don’t forget to clean the long plastic spout from dried paint. The most convenient way to do this is with a sewing needle or a piece of thin metal wire.

The surface of the product on which the spot painting will be applied must be prepared for work. First of all, clean with a degreaser or alcohol. Then paint it in the desired color according to the plan and cover it with 2-3 layers of varnish. Contour paints are a finishing material, i.e. do not require fixing with varnish or other compounds.

Many people have asked me to tell me how I make dot patterns. Apparently the time has come for my first MK using the point-to-point technique (point to point). Of course, I can’t compare with the eminent masters of the Internet, and I’m not exactly a good photographer, but I think some things will become clearer for those who are just starting to do dot painting.

Master class... see below

I... have selected stencils - templates for YOU... and some information and photos...

Black and white templates - some use them as coloring books for children, others as material for handicrafts... But in fact, they are used in scrapbooking and are called DIGISTAMPS. What it is? These are images that could be stamps, but not everyone has the opportunity to have such stamps (specific or large assortment), so they are simply printed out and used. This way, you have opportunities to decorate your card or other work.

Perhaps for YOU it’s just a dotted set... for me it’s many of many things... including Romanian and Dec... and art... it all depends on imagination and knowledge...

These contours have thin noses and this is very important. There are 6 colors in the set.

But the set does not include Copper. I buy it separately.

Other paints in the set are usually sold separately as well.
And also, in some works, I use Gamma paints - Copper with sparkles and Gold with sparkles. The noses there are quite thick, but they are suitable for these colors.

I know that there are contours for glass and ceramics from PEBEO and IDEA, but they are not found in our area and I can’t say anything about them...

The first thing to do is to prepare the surface to be painted - wash with dishwashing detergent, dry and degrease with alcohol or vodka. In the future, do not remove the vodka too far - a creative person cannot live without vodka!))) - in the process of work, hand marks will remain on the glass and we will remove them with a swab soaked in vodka. If you degrease the glass poorly, the paint may not adhere well.

You can practice on a regular glass, which you don’t mind))

We learn to place dots by lightly pressing on the tube. We try to ensure that not only the points are the same size, but also the distance between them

It turns out? Now we try to put small points

Now we are trying to draw a curved line.

That, in general, is all the wisdom! All that remains is to fill your hand. Drawing stripes is boring, so I suggest drawing a floral pattern

Please note that you need to alternate dots of different sizes - then the drawing will not look monotonous. And we continue

And I do some work on primed glass. Serves as soil stained glass paint. And then the finished work might look like this

I would like to primarily address this master class to beginners in the point-to-point technique, and to everyone interested in this technique.
I took as a basis a generalized oriental motif, in which there is a figure of a heart as a symbol of life, a traditional hexagonal star and droplets - a symbol of purity. I never learned to draw, so I took the base for the plate from the Internet (unfortunately, I don’t know the author of this ornament) Here’s the base

The main thing is to always remember that we don’t just want to copy some drawing, but we need a foundation that we will fill with colors and soul.
Prepare a plate for work. First, degrease it well and dry it.
In order to transfer the design to the plate, I used my favorite carbon copy method. I secured the carbon paper with the drawing using stationery clips and began to trace the outline of the drawing. I do this with a pen so that I can definitely see what has already been circled and what has not.

After removing the carbon paper, we get faint black lines on the plate. The main thing is to be vigilant - the carbon mark is not durable, so you don’t need to rub it vigorously with your hands, otherwise it will erase very well. The downside of this mark is that there is dirt on your hand, so you can put a napkin under your hand when working

When drawing using the point-to-point technique, the most important thing in my opinion is steadiness of the hands. Because I am right-handed, then in my case the position of my hands looks like this. Both elbows are on the table. Left hand are located under the bottom of the plate, which allows you to scroll it when applying a design, without touching the design itself. The right hand holds the outline at approximately a 45-degree angle to the surface of the plate, plus resting the edge of the palm on the very edge of the plate for additional stability.

Before making a dot outline, I advise you to take a napkin and try to make a dot on it. This way you can understand the thickness of the contour, whether the spout is clogged, and at the same time, if you accidentally pressed hard on the contour and got a fat point, save the plate. If everything is satisfactory, we begin to apply the drawing from the center. Everything is simple here; it is more difficult to smear the pattern in the center with your hand than if it is on the edges.
