Natalia Zhukova: Decoupage

Over the past few years, all kinds of crafts, made by themselves, have become an integral part of the home and office interior. Not an exception is the popular one for turning simple gizmos into unique decoupage techniques.

About decoupage

One of the successful masters in this technique was Natalya Zhukova. The artist-decorator in simple words tells and shows clearly how literally from improvised means it is possible to give a second life to things that are not uniform and even come into disrepair. As a result of this transformation, simple dostochki, caskets and housekeepers, plates, teapots and jugs and just glass bottles become exclusive attributes of a home interior.

A short list of video tutorials and master classes of the master

Natalia Zhukova gives the greatest preference to the areas of decoupage in the style of provence, shebbie-chic, that is, to the artificial aging of objects, as evidenced by her numerous collections.

Simple and accessible tells the master in her master classes about the etching of wood, about how to paste a motif (napkin) without wrinkles, how to mix paints to achieve the desired shade and about many other subtleties of technology. Decoupage of Natalia Zhukova is understandable even to those who are just beginning to try themselves in this area.

The book as a source of knowledge

Most recently, the famous artist-decorator Natalia Zhukova became the author of the book "Imitate the surface." The reader can familiarize himself in detail with various modern techniques and materials. Imitation frescoes, patenirovanie, gilding and, of course, aging - this is not a complete list of techniques presented by the author. The book will not leave indifferent and those who already have experience and engaged in decoupage. Natalia Zhukova makes it possible to complicate and diversify their work to all comers.
