Painting on a gramophone record
For a long time I kept my favorite records, taking them with me even when moving. But there is still nothing to listen to them on, and one cannot raise one’s hand to throw them away. Therefore, I decided to give some of them a second life and turn them into paintings.
For this picture you will need:
Gramophone record,
Small wood shavings or paper napkins,
PVA glue,
Gypsum,
Pencil,
Different brushes
Acrylic primer,
Paints (gouache/acrylic).
Just painting a record with paints is trivial. I wanted to give my future painting volume. To do this, wood shavings are mixed with glue and a three-dimensional pattern is created using the resulting mass. It is more convenient to work along the contour outlined in pencil. What kind of picture it will be is up to you to decide. This could be a famous reproduction (like mine) or your own creativity.
Initially, I used paste made from flour as glue. But this glue turned out to be unsuitable for vinyl and partially peeled off along with the shavings. Therefore, it is better to take PVA. The shavings can be replaced with napkins or toilet paper - paper soaked in glue also produces a three-dimensional pattern.
When the glue with the shavings/paper dries, we still have vinyl gaps left. Since I was going to use gouache for painting, it became necessary to cover the entire surface of the plate with plaster diluted with water. I diluted it to a liquid state and painted it with a wide brush. Ideally, the dried plaster still needs to be impregnated with an acrylic primer - the paint on such a surface will lay down easily and evenly.
The dry prepared gramophone record can be painted. The work will look more solid if you use acrylic paints. But in the absence of such, ordinary gouache will do.
We start with the background, then move on to large objects and, lastly, paint the small details. Thanks to the hole in the center of the plate, the finished painting can be easily hung on a small nail in the wall.
