Instructions
1
Beginners can learn how to sculpt and mold shapes using pre-prepared stencils. Choose the picture you need for future bas-relief.
2
Put it on penofol, which must be fixed with adhesive tape on the surface of the table, so that it does not move. Cut out the outline of the pattern with the cutter.
3
As a basis, take the right size gypsum fiber sheet (GVL). Soak the surface with a primer. Obtain the obtained stencil from penofol on a piece of GVL.
4
Dilute the putty with a spatula and use a spatula to wipe all the stencil voids. Remove the stencil when the solution is completely dry. Otherwise, the edges of the bas-relief will be uneven.
5
To make the bas-relief directly on theWall, mark the border with the adhesive tape for the future picture. Place the prepared stencil on the surface. Fasten it to avoid bias. Fill in the voids with a diluted putty.
6
After drying putty remove the stencil. Treat the resulting bas-relief with a sandpaper. Cover the surface with an acrylic primer.
7
Using the sponge, paint the entire space of the stucco image. To emphasize the relief of the bas-relief, add shadows. Wall-mounted bas-relief in interior baguette.
8
You can make a bas-relief from gypsum. In the store you will find ready-made sets with powder for making mass and molds for casting. Read the instructions. Next, dilute the powder with warm water. Stir with a wooden stick. The mass should be without lumps, bubbles.
9
Brush with the resulting mass of the bottom of the mold. Pour into it the gypsum solution and let it solidify. The gypsum will take the necessary shape in 3 hours. For further work with the bas-relief it is better to wait 24 hours.

In a day, take out the bas-relief from the mold. Color gouache or watercolors. After the paint has dried, cover the product with a colorless varnish.
Tip 2: What is bas-relief?
The bas-relief is one of the types of sculpture,a relief image on the plane, often used for decorating rooms and creating exclusive interiors. Some of them can be considered real works of art.
In ancient times, people used differentsigns and symbols for communicating with your own kind. These signs he cut out on trees, rocks or even tablets. It was with the help of the bas-relief that the ancient Egyptians could give the future generations a description of their life on special plates. Time passed, and the bas-relief ceased to be exclusively a means of communication between people. He was given a more important role. He turned into a means of self-expression of artists. The masters created real masterpieces that adorned the homes of noble aristocrats. The beauty of ancient bas-reliefs still fascinates modern people. The poor bas-reliefs were not available. The cost did not allow. But the rich people loved them and tried to order from the recognized masters the bas-relief more expensively, in order to emphasize its status. Today, all these masterpieces cost millions of dollars. Profitable people still love bas-reliefs. They can be seen on the facade of a huge house or inside it. Today, the bas-reliefs have ceased to be a privilege exclusively of people belonging to the noble family. Simply enough to have a sufficient amount and good taste. A sculpture carved into a wall is called a bas-relief if it protrudes less than half the volume. If it protrudes more than half its volume, such a sculpture is called a relief. Both types of sculptures are unusually beautiful and will emphasize the beauty of any interior, although high reliefs are not used so often.
Bas-reliefs in different rooms
A shallow niche made in the wall willan excellent place for placing the bas-relief. Most of them can be seen in such niches. It looks very impressive and beautiful, especially if there is artificial lighting. Bas-reliefs are often used in the bedroom to give the interior a romantic and some mystery. For children, you can choose sculptures depicting scenes from the child's favorite fairy tales. In the kitchen, bas-reliefs depicting fruits or vegetables are appropriate. How to make bas-reliefs
There are different ways of makingbas-relief. Usually it is made with stucco or casting (in the case of plaster bas-reliefs). Some masters cut the sculptures by hand. Such works are much more expensive, but you will get a unique sculpture that perfectly fits into your interior. The bas-relief is usually finished with paint or wax. Tip 3: How to make a bas-relief in the ancient Egyptian style
Sculptural images of Ancient Egyptare distinguished by their splendor and monumentality. But for a huge relief of several square meters there is hardly a place in a modern apartment, but to make a small three-dimensional picture in the ancient Egyptian style is quite possible.
What is needed for this
Bas-relief in the ancient Egyptian style can be cast fromgypsum or blind. In the first case you will need: - a sheet of drywall - a silicone sealant - a petrolatum - a gypsum - a picture depicting an ancient Egyptian bas-relief. For modeling, you need: - plywood sheet, PVC tile or very dense cardboard - sculptural plasticine - water-based paint for Soil - gouache or acrylic paints - furniture varnish. To observe the stylistic features, consider the picture. The most characteristic feature of the Egyptian bas-reliefs is that the faces on them are always depicted in the profile, even if the person stands directly in front of the viewer. The ancient Egyptians also have very characteristic hairstyles reminiscent of the modern hairstyle "quads." The eyes are almond shaped. As a rule, ancient Egyptian bas-reliefs depicted slender people with long graceful limbs. Mold for casting
Casting bas-relief - it's not a very long orlaborious, but requiring a good eye and accuracy in the movements. First, make a mold for casting. You can mold a base of plasticine, and then pour the fillings with silicone sealant. But lately the basis of gypsum cardboard has become increasingly popular. Translate the picture on the sheet of plasterboard. Cut through the contour, and then gently, layer after layer, make a groove, strictly observing the shape. When the groove is ready, grease it with petroleum jelly, and then pour it with silicone sealant and allow to dry. In this form, you can cast a bas-relief from gypsum. Without form
The easiest way to make a bas-relief inEgyptian style - to dazzle it from plasticine. Plasticine will need a lot, you can take any, but the most suitable sculptural. Cut a sheet of plywood of the correct size. Heat the plasticine. Break off pieces from the piece, sculpt them on plywood and smooth them so that there are no remaining gaps, and the layer itself was smooth and smooth. Apply a few plasticine layers in this way so that a base with a thickness of approximately 2 cm is obtained. Apply the contours of the pattern on it. Next, put plasticine only where there will be convex parts. The advantage of this method is that you can adjust the form at any time. In addition, you can make and bas-relief, in which the figure is not convex, but concave. In this case, after making a board of the desired thickness and drawing out the outlines, start to gently remove excess parts. When the picture is ready, cover your creation with water-based paint, and then paint with gouache. Please note that the Egyptian fine arts are dominated by rich natural tones - the colors of sand, gold, bright blue sky.
