Five reasons to choose natural stone plaster

• Luxurious appearance, complemented by original texture and texture.
• A wide range of colors and shapes.
• Light weight, which does not create serious loads on load-bearing walls.
• Immunity to moisture and temperature conditions.
• Good hygienic and ecological qualities

The most popular interior decoration is considered venetian plaster under the stone, allowing to decorate the atmosphere with the noble texture of respectable "old" walls. For finishing facade surfaces almost all types of mixtures and templates are used, with the help of which piece finishing fragments are made.

To decorate external elements, plaster is usually used under wild stone, allowing to give the architectural aesthetics a natural, pristine color. In this case, there is one more serious plus - the external plaster of the basement and facade under the stone allows you to level out serious surface defects.

Secrets of the workshop for decorating walls with plaster under the stone

• using various dyes added to building mixtures, you can give the final decor the most unexpected colors;
• to decorate the facade elements, it is necessary to purchase more expensive mixtures designed specifically for this type of work;
• to create the texture of piece fragments, as close as possible to natural counterparts, real stones can be applied to the solidified form;
• for greater expressiveness, the joints between the "stones" are tinted with a darker paint

Internal and exterior plaster under the stone is made in strict compliance with all provisions of the technological cycle. Our craftsmen use proven mixtures and materials.

The results of the work are monitored at all stages. Ultimately, the customer receives perfectly designed walls that will serve long years without losing their performance properties.

Application of decorative plaster under the stone

Modern technologies in the construction field allow partially or completely replacing natural materials artificial analogues of high quality.

Use a natural stone or artificial today is equally prestigious if the analogue has almost indistinguishable external and functional characteristics.

Stone material

Do-it-yourself stone imitation when creating a harmonious look at home allows you to experiment with decor.

In construction, stone has always been given special preference. With the help of this material, you can create a unique style, add a presentable structure to the structure. external appearanceand the stone-trimmed interior has an unrivaled charm.

The stone is used for both constructive solutions when building a house and in interior design. Lovers of natural stone: sandstone, granite, marble and other rocks, of course, will make their choice in favor of the natural origin of the material.

Those for whom such a question is not fundamental can be advised to purchase artificial analogs of proven brands in specialized stores.

Very high requirements are imposed on modern artificial stone, therefore many experts recommend using this material on their site today.

Materials used as substitutes

Simulated stream bed

Widespread in recent times received cast stones. This also includes granite and marble. By its structure, such a material is produced using natural stone chips with the addition of a binder polymer element.

The mixture is processed according to modern technologies with holding a certain temperature and pressure. This is how the main technical specifications material.

As a result, up to potential buyer comes construction material from outward signs natural stone, but with more practical qualities - minimum fragility and maximum elasticity.

The resulting material is, in a sense, even more attractive to buyers than the usual stone. It sometimes looks brighter and more presentable outwardly.

Imitation of natural stone refers to inexpensive technological production. It is no secret that large sums of funds are required for the development of a quarry and the extraction of natural rocks.

During the work, the stone often cracks, as a result it does not come to the manufacturers in an attractive form, additional funds are spent on its processing.

During all technological processes, a lot of excess crumbs are formed. It is she who goes into processing when mixed with a polymer substance. The result is a so-called analogue of natural material.

This type of activity has recently become so profitable that many enterprises have abandoned the development and extraction of rock and started producing on the basis of stone chips.

Fully artificial stone is made from concrete. This material has very high quality characteristics in terms of strength and durability.

Since this way of getting artificial stone is not something new in construction, the technology for the production and processing of completely artificial substitutes includes the use of sand, cement, pigments, dyes, water, plasticizer.

This set is a filler of concrete as such, but in this case there is also an additional special processing of the material, which allows you to get a really very strong and durable artificial stone that can imitate almost any rock: from granite and quartz to malachite.

It is not difficult to use such a building material at home, therefore, decorating a house or building a structure using an analogue or artificial stone is quite possible with your own hands.

In this regard, an interesting option is to use a material that imitates a stone for interior design in a house.

Wall decoration with artificial stone

Rockery do it yourself

The traditional interior of the walls in the house can get bored very quickly, so the application of new trends in interior decoration brings a note of novelty and creativity in design solutions.

The use of imitation stone for wall decoration is not a new idea, only before it could not always adequately satisfy the creative impulse due to the elementary lack of high-quality material.

Today this problem has been fundamentally resolved. There are several types of room imitations.

There are no restrictions in style, the main thing is to choose your own version. Transforming your room with new decor is another way to make a difference in your life.

What do you need to work?

• Acrylic paint different shades despite the fact that the room will be designed in a single color scheme;
• Marker;
• Roulette, flat plate, fine texture brush;
• Pencil, sponge for painting, sponge, container with water;
• Disposable gloves;
• Fabric for the ability to protect the surface from stains;
• Large feather.

Do-it-yourself imitation of a wall under a stone

Wall decoration with stone

At first, as with any finishing work, all unnecessary things are removed from the walls, including the surface layer.

The fabric can be spread out on the floor or the furniture can be covered. All that is possible must be protected from paint ingress.

The appropriate size of the stone is selected in the form of slabs with an imitating structural pattern.

The size of the interval on the wall between laying is determined. The result should be a single harmonious composition.

It is interesting to note that in some cases, to embody the design idea, the wall is not completely covered with stone, and the edges of the slabs are left slightly careless, even neatly chipped off. Only with such work should you take care of your hands.

Using a ruler, first a horizontal line is drawn on the wall, then vertical markings are made. Marks are made on the wall at multiple locations and the points are then connected to each other.

Similar markings are made to split the existing markings in half. In the same way, markup is created for the next row. When marking on the walls, it is important to apply very clear lines so that subsequently the masonry flows smoothly, without displacement.

A little paint is poured onto a flat plate, which is mixed with a small amount of water with the color that you plan to apply. You can mix the paints in equal proportions to simulate the uneven color of the stone.

With the help of a sponge, paint is applied to the stones randomly to get a color close to the natural color. After that, the paint is rubbed in with a sponge and spread over the edges with a thin brush. It is important to soften the contours to create the appearance of natural stone.

For more effect, you can create the appearance of cracks on the wall. To do this, you must use a large nib. It creates the effect of a non-ideal surface in the form of rough lines. This design trick is used quite often, even in the most respectable houses you can find a "subtle fake".

Diy stone dyes

Next, you should paint the edges of the stones with a marker and a pencil. This produces a simultaneous effect of delineating the boundaries and shaded texture of the stone. With careful work, the result is very expressive and realistic.

It is important to note that, following the example of working with artificial stone indoors for wall decoration, you can clearly show how, using imitation materials, little tricks and creative approach transform a dull artificial look of a house into a nice "live" look.

When decorating with stone imitators, you can get an equally presentable look. Only there are some differences in the technology of work.

You can make your interior not boring different ways... One of them is the creation of intricate textures and patterns on the walls. It will be very interesting for this purpose to use special mixturesimitating various materials. For example, decorative stone plaster can create the effect of real masonry right in your kitchen or in the hallway. This finish can also be used for the facade, it all depends on your desires and financial capabilities. The creation of the stone effect is achieved in various ways, which we will talk about a little later.

Scope - where is the best place to create a stone effect

When we talk about creating a stone effect, we don't always mean the same thing. Someone thinks about rough masonry, which only facades are trimmed, and someone imagines an imitation of exquisite natural stone, which is ideal for a bathroom or a corridor. So you need to immediately understand that decorative plaster with a stone effect is successfully used both for interior and exterior decoration... In the interior, it is ideal for cladding fireplaces, columns, chimneys and partitions. Arches, openings, ledges and other small elements of the room, decorated with decorative plaster like a stone, look especially beautiful.

For exterior decoration this method is most often used when working with columns, fences and plinths. Decorative plaster for plinths with a stone effect is becoming especially popular. On the facade, imitation of a stone can also be seen, it is just that such a finish is more expensive due to large area work. Also, the work of the masters costs money, because you need to work with each "stone" in the drawing. It is not uncommon to see imitation of stone in hotels, restaurants and cafes.

The choice of places where you can implement your ideas for creating a stone effect is very large, especially since almost any surface is suitable for such work. The most popular ones are:

• Brick
• Concrete
• Drywall
• Expanded polystyrene

Options for creating a stone effect depending on the composition of the plaster

There are several ways in which imitation of a stone surface is possible. For these purposes, both textured and structural decorative stone plaster can be used. Venetian plaster is also used to imitate such noble stones as marble, but that's another story.

Part decorative material may include granite chips, marble flour, fine quartz with sand, mica chips and other components that will make the coating look more natural. For greater plasticity, lime is added to the mixture, and for greater strength, cement can be added. Often, acrylic is used instead of cement, which allows you to create more beautiful and realistic surfaces.

1. Smooth surface... In the case of imitation granite or marble, you will always get a smooth surface due to the type of decorative plaster used and the method of application. Such a coating is necessarily waxed, sanded and polished (sometimes glossing is carried out). Here we will not consider this coating, but you can read more about it in the article decorative plaster for marble.
2. Textured coating... In this case, decorative stone plaster is created using special techniques and textured plaster. It all depends not on the material, but on the skills of the employee, who will have to create a drawing with his own hands using various instruments and application methods.
3. Volumetric surface... Such a coating is an imitation of masonry and often requires a lot of money. To achieve this effect, you will have to spend a lot of mortar to create a convex surface. Moreover, for the reliability of imitation of masonry, each layer of plaster will require additional painting.
4. Flat relief... In this case, it will create the effect of masonry, but unlike the previous version, it will be flatter, without protruding "stones". In this case, minor processing of seams with small grooves is required, and much less mortar is required than in the previous version. If you create an imitation of even blocks, it will not be very difficult, but it will be very difficult to draw a laying of stones of different sizes with your own hands.

Surface preparation to simulate masonry

Decorative plaster under the stone should be applied only after preparing the wall. The surface should be completely cleaned of old coatings and made more or less even. Perfect smoothness is not required. However, all saline appearances and grease stains should be removed. After that, the wall is primed, which will improve the adhesion to the plaster layer. If you skip this step, then the coating may not be reliable enough.

It would be ideal to use an acrylic primer with quartz sand. It works well for this particular masonry technique.

In the masonry, you can clearly see where which stone is placed, and we want to repeat this effect. Let's make a reservation right away that we will create a flat surface, without bumps from stones. Moreover, we are not talking about imitating the same blocks of stones, they will all have different shape and sizes. What is needed for this? Just a fantasy masking tape and a wallpaper knife.

We glue the dried primed wall with strips of adhesive tape. These strips will be the seams between the stones, so you outline your future drawing in advance. It is better to paste over the entire wall at once, even if you have a large area and decorative plaster will be applied in portions. By the way, an imitation of a brick is created by a similar method. True, in this case, the entire wall is glued with strips of adhesive tape parallel to the floor so that parallel lines are obtained. And then future vertical seams are made with small strips of adhesive tape. It turns out a lot of little bricks, like this brickwork... But now is not about that.

Applying mortar to the wall

Now you can apply thick textured plaster white using a trowel and a spatula. The decorative material must contain quartz sand small fraction. The material is applied throughout the entire work area. You don't need to align anything and make it perfectly smooth. Irregularities will be masked in the next stages, and the remaining "flaws" will become part of the texture of the masonry.

Immediately after applying the decorative plaster under the stone, we begin to work with a hard bristle brush. A clothing brush will work. Without letting the solution dry, we lightly touch it with a brush, leaving not too deep marks on the wall. A certain roughness is created. To smooth the resulting texture, we lightly rub our coating with a trowel. This should be done when it begins to dry out a little. The result is a softer and smoother surface. Otherwise, the wall will "crack", and the drawing will come out strange.

Now you need to remove the tape. It won't be easy for a beginner to do this. Help yourself with a wallpaper knife, with which the tape is picked up. It is important to remove all the tape before the plaster dries, otherwise nothing will work out later. If everything is done correctly, then we get a wall with white decorative stones in the form of masonry with white seams. Let the coating dry completely, and then sand it.

Coloring and drawing the shape of stones

In itself, this design does not look very good, because it still needs to be painted. We need paint in four tones of the same shade. Randomly with varying intensity we apply paint to the wall in different placescovering so about one quarter to one third of the wall. It is necessary to carry out the work so that stains remain, and not solid painted over pieces. Then also apply a darker layer of paint with a brush. The third layer of the helmet should have already painted over the entire wall even darker. It does not need to be applied with spots, but all voids should be painted over.

Apply the last darkest layer on top of the previous paint. We apply it in different places, and then smear it with the existing paint. So we get an overflow of shades. After that, you need to remove excess paint with a cloth, which will help to show the texture. Further, all the seams are drawn with a darker paint. Then we apply a small amount of light paint to the stones, making the texture itself more distinct. After that, shadows are drawn on the stones with dark paint. As a result, we get a wall of masonry, which was helped to create decorative plaster for a stone. If you still have questions about this method, it is better to watch the detailed video above.

Other options for imitation stone

There are other techniques for imitating masonry. These are special layouts and shapes. There are many different shapes (plastic, polymer and polyurethane) with the help of which the effect of volumetric masonry is created. To do this, a large layer of mortar is applied to the wall, and then, until it has frozen, a form is applied to it. Pressure is created on the mold, as a result of which the profile of the stone or stones is extruded. There are forms for one stone, and there are those that squeeze out several pieces at once. In the latter case, it will be possible to create relief faster. Moreover, stones in such forms can be both large and very small.

Layouts are used to create not volumetric, but flat relief. In fact, they don't need to use scotch tape. Such layouts can have rectangular shape to create the effect of masonry from blocks. They can also be in the shape of an uneven stone.

After applying the plaster to the wall, a model is applied to it, along the edge of which it is drawn with a knife. Then, close to the borders of the previous "stone", a model is again applied, and again we draw a knife along the perimeter. Etc. We just mark the boundaries so that they can be seen. Therefore, instead of a knife, you can use a screwdriver, nail, charcoal trowel, etc. When the entire wall is so "stamped", the boundaries are made clearer. Special tool seams are made by removing excess solution. This procedure is similar to peeling off an adhesive tape. Next, the plaster dries, sands and stains, as described above.

Not everyone who wants to use natural stone in the decoration of their homes can afford to purchase it. This natural material always had a rather high price. Fortunately, for many years now it has been replaced by the so-called "imitation" stone, which costs much less.

The use of material in the interior

Imitation of natural stone wonderfully decorates almost any interior. At the same time, it is used not only for finishing walls and floors, but also for other decorative and functional elements of the room (columns, fireplaces, portals, niches, partitions). Such decoration brings special comfort and novelty to the interior. Contrary to popular belief, this finishing material looks perfect not only in antique, classical and medieval interiors, but also in those rooms where there is an ultra-modern design. The effect of imitation stone directly depends on what color it has.

Types of stone imitation

Stone walls can be created using various finishing materials. Currently, a huge variety of them are produced. Below are the most common ones.

Artificial finishing stone is made from a mixture of cement and sand with the addition of various additives (pigments, fillers) that improve performance and decorative functions.

Tiles that imitate stone have long gained deserved popularity. It is durable, abrasion resistant and has a great appearance.

Recently, stone panels have gained immense popularity. They can be used for decoration and facades, and indoor spaces.

Such imitation of stone as porcelain stoneware has been known for many years. It is much more durable and stronger than there are many different colors and textures of this finishing material... Today, innovative decorative 3D panels with amazing reliefs are being produced.

This facing material has been on the market for a long time, although it was in special demand only in public institutions - such as restaurants, bars, cafes. IN last years it is increasingly used for decoration living quarters. Contemporary tiles under the stone simply amazes with a variety of textures and shades, allowing you to create a stylish and original design interior. Such finishing materials made from ceramics have a wide variety of shapes, textures, colors. Thanks to this, their popularity is growing every day. Stone-like gypsum tiles are much cheaper than their natural counterparts. Another of its advantages is ease of handling and installation.

Varieties of stone tiles

Wild stone tiles are made from various materials... The simplest of them consist of plaster and ceramics, but there are also expensive ones, for example, made on the basis of acrylic. Below are the different varieties such a tile:

When choosing this facing material you should pay attention to what it is intended for. Stone facing tiles are produced for both internal and external (facade) works. Both of these types of materials are distinguished by their reliability, durability, and resistance to mechanical stress. It is considered that ceramic tile under the stone is an environmentally friendly finishing material. That is why more and more people prefer it in the decoration of dining rooms, living rooms, bathrooms and kitchens. Stone-look gypsum tiles can only be used for interior decoration. It is used where there is no high humidity.

Facade tiles under the stone do not change their properties even under the influence of low and high temperatures. Despite the changes in air humidity, it retains its initial appearance... Facade stone tiles have different sizes, textures and shades. The latest photo printing machines imitate almost all known natural stone species. The latest tile collections are characterized by their uniqueness and meticulous drawing the smallest details... Recently, imitation of a stone, reminiscent of marble, onyx, travertine, has been especially popular. This finishing material gives any room a special aristocracy.

Stone tiles, a photo of which can be found on many sites on the Internet, allows you to create the most unique interiors. The only thing that is needed for this is enough money and a little imagination. Nowadays, you can pick up tiles from one collection, but in different shades - in order for 3-4 square meters the area did not repeat any of them.

Now, dark tiles under a stone are especially in demand. Decorative ceramics of this type are perfectly combined with materials such as glass, wood, metal. With the help of it, any design ideas are realized.

"Stone" panels

Today, stone panels are at the peak of their popularity. Many designers use them not only for facade decoration, but also for internal works... This finishing material is made using innovative technologies, due to which it practically does not differ from natural breeds. Wall decorative panels under the stone are practical, have an excellent appearance, are easy to assemble. Another advantage of this facing material is its relatively low cost. The most affordable of these panels are made from high quality plastic. They are durable and easy to maintain. Most often they are used in the decoration of bathrooms, kitchens, dining rooms. They can often be found even in office buildings.

Varieties of stone panels

Most often, this finishing material is produced by high pressure casting. Depending on its composition, panels are distinguished:

• Homogeneous structure (made of high quality PVC).
• Combined ( outer layer - made of polymer, and the inner one is made of expanded polystyrene). This material is good insulation, therefore, is in high demand.
• Made with expanded polystyrene and polystyrene, bonded to the outer cover.

Many panels contain resins, foam and stone powder. There are a huge number of models on sale facade panels, which imitate such types of stone as slate, limestone, sandstone, malachite, quartzite, topaz. Also popular are varieties with relief forms (rubble or rocky stone). On sale you can also find materials that resemble flat basalt, onyx, granite, travertine, zlatolite, dolomite. The most popular models are with neatly arranged rows of rectangular stones.

Thanks to the variety of these panels, anyone can quickly decorate their house under or under a medieval wall for relatively little money. Due to the wide color palette for facade panels, you can choose any shade of stone from light beige and white to dark brown and black. Such a variety of colors allows you to create harmonious combination home and surrounding landscape.

Properties of facade panels for stone

Such a finishing material is not afraid of tall or low temperatures, moisture and salts. Since it has a low coefficient of linear expansion, these panels will not deform over the years. The reliable joint system allows them to withstand even strong winds. High quality materials resistant to sun fading. Other properties of stone facade panels include:

• wear resistance;
• low thermal conductivity;
• good sound insulation;
• impact resistance;
• corrosion resistance;
• refractoriness.

This finishing material has the following advantages: low cost, light weight, the ability to mount on any type of wall without special preparation.

The cost of front panels

There are both very expensive and cheap stone panels on sale. The following factors influence the price formation: manufacturer, brand awareness, used equipment (technology), quality of raw materials. So, for example, panels made of heavy-duty material, in which there are special additives, will be much more expensive than conventional ones. The quality of the panel surface also affects the cost. So smooth materials are cheaper than embossed ones, which imitate stone with greater likelihood. Panels with bright, saturated shades will have a higher price than light colors, since additional color stabilization is required during their manufacture. The most expensive finishing materials of this kind are those that have the thickest insulation layer.

Artificial granite

This finishing material imitates granite surface... It is used for the manufacture of countertops, window sills, small panels. It can be milled, cut, polished. It is made using a vacuum mixer in which a special filler is mixed, for example, GRANATEX 350, 400, 500 and POLYLITE 32166-16 resin. First, stirring is carried out without vacuum. At this point, the filler particles become wet. After that, a catalyst ("Butanox M50") is added to the mixture and everything is mixed again under vacuum. The procedure is repeated 2-3 times for 15 minutes. The finished mass is poured into a special mold and the surface is leveled with a special brush. The solidified sheet of artificial granite is polished using the approximate composition of the composition: resin - 35-40%, filler - 60-65%, catalyst - 1.5-2%.

Rules for the care of imitation stone

Almost all finishing materials that imitate natural stone are durable materials. They are easy to care for. This material is very strong, durable, resistant to mechanical stress.

Imitation stone can not be scratched, washed with aggressive detergents... It should be periodically wiped with a soft cloth.

Making an artificial stone with your own hands

There is another imitation of a stone. You can make an artificial stone from concrete with your own hands. Its cost will be slightly higher than the imitation of plaster, but it can be used not only for interior decoration, but also for facade cladding. It is also used for landscape decoration. "Boulders" or tiles that imitate the surface of natural stone are made of concrete.

To obtain a simulation, you need to master some work skills and acquire necessary materials... The technology for the production of artificial stone from concrete is not much different from the method of manufacturing a conventional paving slabs... You need to purchase the following materials:

• polyurethane injection molds various shapes and configuration;
• the highest brands of cement;
• sifted fine-grained sand;
• clean water;
• a special release agent that prevents the solution from sticking to the walls of the mold. If not available, ordinary machine oil can be used.

First of all knead cement mortar... Its proportion is 1: 3. laid on a flat surface, coat their inner walls with a release agent and fill ready solution... Using a spatula, the cement-sand mass is slightly compacted to remove trapped air bubbles. The surface layer is carefully leveled.

After the solution has solidified, the shape is gently bent, and the finished artificial stone is easily separated from it. These blanks must be thoroughly dried and painted in the color you like. To give the imitation stone a more natural look, choose a moisture resistant paint in natural tones. The blanks are painted in several layers using a spray gun. Before this, the surface of the imitation is dust-free with a dry cloth. To give the artificial stone made of concrete a more natural look, the indentations on it can be painted in a darker shade. Also, various specks, veins and other textures that copy one or another natural stone are often drawn on imitation.

Making an imitation stone from plaster

For the production of this finishing material, it is necessary to purchase special polyurethane molds and modified gypsum. There is a strict sequence for preparing the solution. Gypsum is added to water, not water to gypsum. With constant stirring, a solution is prepared, which solidifies very quickly. That is why a mixture of only 1-3 workpieces is prepared at a time. The ratio of dry mix to water depends on the grade of gypsum. Moreover, the thicker the composition, the stronger the artificial stone will be. As a rule, the ideal consistency of the solution resembles thick sour cream. To enhance the strength of the gypsum imitation stone, about 10% of sand can be added to the solution.

To speed up the work on the manufacture of imitation, plasticizers such as lemon acid or PVA glue. They prevent the rapid solidification of the gypsum mass, which makes it possible to produce large quantity stones at the same time.

The finished mixture is poured into molds. Its surface is carefully leveled. After 30-40 minutes, the imitation stone should harden. Cured workpieces can be easily removed from the polyurethane mold. They go to dry for several hours.

To obtain multi-colored artificial stones in plaster mix add a coloring pigment of the required shade. A more realistic coloring is obtained by manually painting the stones after drying. After the paint has dried, such imitations are covered with a waterproof matt varnish.

6. Multi-layer varnishing makes the imitation of a stone surface more natural, so whatever method and stone you choose, try not to neglect this step.

1. Background. On the palette, mix together a small amount of Kaput mortum with whitewash We get a pleasant, delicate pink color. It is not necessary to mix the paints thoroughly, we leave color inhomogeneity.

With a wide synthetic brush, apply paint to the surface of the workpiece in a dense layer, creating smooth transitions.

2. Spots. We wet the sponge in clean water, we squeeze out, we collect a small amount of white on it and make prints, easily touching the surface.

We fill in the same way the workpiece area only partially, about a third. The direction of the applied light paint will serve as the basis for drawing future veins.

3. Veins. Use a small round brush to paint Kaput Mortuum. Pre-moisten the brush with plenty of water. The consistency of the paint should not be thick.

With a trembling hand and with varying pressure, we apply a vein to the instrument and immediately wash its edge with water. Stretching the paint. We refine the line with lighter translucent shades, paint with the addition of white and well diluted water.

Draw all the other lines in the same way, including the light gray one.

4. Re-work with a sponge with a light color applied to it.

5. Drying and varnishing. We cover the surface with several layers acrylic varnish, dry, level the surface with fine-grained sandpaper. We repeat the operation, gradually diluting the varnish with water. For showiness, we recommend applying at least 20 layers of acrylic glossy varnish.

And we finish the process with finishing varnish.

2. Add whitewash to the paint mixture and apply it with wavy broad strokes on the background.

3. Spots. Dip the sponge into water and squeeze out. Dial Ultramarine on it and walk across the entire surface.

Repeat the operation with Cobalt Blue.

4. Veins. With a thin round brush, apply curved lines with white and blur their edges with water until the paint is dry.

5. Spray. On a brush or toothbrush, dial white paintdiluted with water and spray over the surface.

Do the same with applying gold paint.

6. Drying and varnishing. We cover the surface with several layers of acrylic varnish, dry it, then level the surface with fine-grained emery paper.

We repeat the operation, gradually diluting the varnish with water and reducing the grit of the sandpaper. For showiness, we recommend applying at least 20 layers of acrylic glossy varnish.

And we finish the process with finishing varnish.
