Painting technique- a set of techniques for using artistic materials and tools.

Traditional painting techniques: encaustic, tempera, wall (limestone), glue and other types. Since the 15th century, the technique of painting with oil paints has become popular; in the 20th century, synthetic paints appear with a binder made of polymers (acrylic, vinyl, etc.). Gouache, watercolor, Chinese ink and semi-painting technique - pastel - are also referred to as painting.

WATERCOLOR

Watercolor(from Italian. "aquarello") - means painting with water-based paints.

There are many artistic techniques in watercolor: working on raw paper ("A la Prima"), working on dry paper, pouring, washing off, using watercolor pencils, ink, working with a dry brush, using a palette knife, salt, multi-layer painting, using mixed media.

Varieties of watercolor techniques:

dry - painting on dry paper, drying each layer of paint before applying the next

wet, wet watercolor, alla prima - painting on raw paper. The wet technique uses the flow of watercolors and creates unusual color effects. Using this technique requires knowledge of the moisture content of the paper and experience with the technique itself.

Alla prima (ala prima) (derived from Italian alla prima - at the first moment) is a kind of oil and watercolor painting technique, which provides for the execution of a picture (or its fragment) in one session, without preliminary registration and underpainting.

Fill is a very interesting technique in watercolor. Smooth color transitions allow you to effectively depict the sky, water, mountains.

The palette knife is used not only in oil painting, but also in watercolor painting. With a palette knife, you can emphasize the outlines of mountains, stones, rocks, clouds, sea waves, depict trees, flowers.

The absorbency of salt is used to create interesting watercolor effects. With the help of salt, you can decorate the meadow with flowers, get a mobile air environment in the picture, moving tonal transitions.

Multilayer painting is rich in color. In multilayer painting, all artistic techniques of working with watercolors are used.

Watercolor is one of the most difficult painting techniques. The main quality of watercolors is transparency and airiness of the image. The apparent simplicity and ease of drawing with watercolor is deceiving. Watercolor painting requires skill with a brush, skill in seeing tone and color, knowledge of the laws of mixing colors and applying a layer of paint to paper. There are many techniques in watercolor: working on dry paper, working on raw paper ("A la Prima"), using watercolor pencils, ink, layered painting, dry brushing, filling, washing off, using a palette knife, salt, using mixed media.

Watercolors, despite the seeming simplicity and ease of drawing, are the most complex painting technique. Watercolor painting requires skill with a brush, skill in seeing tone and color, knowledge of the laws of mixing colors and applying a layer of paint to paper.

For watercolor work, paper is one of the most important materials. Its quality, type, relief, density, graininess, sizing are important. Depending on the quality of the paper, watercolors are applied to the paper in different ways, absorbed, and dried.

PENCIL

A pencil is a drawing material. Distinguish between black lead and colored pencils. A pencil drawing is performed on paper using shading, tonal spots, and chiaroscuro.

Watercolor pencils are a type of colored pencils that are water-soluble. Methods for using watercolor pencils are varied: blurring a drawing with a watercolor pencil with water, working with a watercolor pencil soaked in water, working with a pencil on wet paper, etc. drawing is more difficult.

With the help of a pencil, you can get infinitely many shades, tone gradations. The drawing uses pencils of various degrees of softness.

Begin work on graphic drawing from a constructive drawing, i.e. drawing the outer contours of an object using construction lines, usually with a medium-soft pencil H, HB, B, F, then in a tone drawing, in which there are no contour lines of objects, and the boundaries of objects are indicated by shading, if necessary, use softer pencils. The hardest is 9H, the softest is 9B.

In the drawing with a pencil, it is advisable to make as few corrections as possible and carefully use an eraser so as not to leave stains, so the drawing will look fresh and neat. It is better not to use feathering in a pencil drawing for the same reasons. To apply the tone, the shading technique is used. Strokes can be different in direction, length, width, pencil pressure. The direction of the stroke (horizontal, vertical, oblique) is determined by the shape, size of the object, movement of the surface in the drawing.

The pencil portrait turns out to be very realistic and full of light. Indeed, with the help of a pencil, you can convey many shades, the depth and volume of the image, the transitions of light and shade.

The pencil drawing is fixed with a fixative, so the drawing does not lose its clarity, does not smudge even when touched with a hand, and remains for a long time.

BUTTER

Oil painting on canvas is the most popular painting technique. Oil painting gives the master an unlimited number of ways to depict and convey the mood of the world around him. Pastose or airy transparent strokes through which the canvas is visible, creating a relief with a palette knife, glazing, using transparent or opaque paints, various variations of mixing colors - all this variety of techniques in oil painting allows the artist to find and convey the mood, the volume of the objects depicted, the air environment, create an illusion space, convey the richness of shades of the surrounding world.

Oil painting has its own peculiarity - the painting is painted in several layers (2-3), each layer needs to dry for several days, depending on the materials used, therefore, an oil painting is usually painted from several days to several weeks.

Linen canvas is the most suitable for oil painting. Linen is durable and has a vibrant texture. Linen canvases come in various grain sizes. For portraits and painting with detailed drawing, a fine-grained, smoother canvas is used. A coarse-grained canvas is suitable for painting with a pronounced texture (stones, rocks, trees), pasty painting and painting with a palette knife. Previously, the painting used the technique of glazing, applying paints in thin layers, so the roughness of the linen layer gave the picture elegance. Nowadays, the technique of pasty strokes is often used in painting. However, the quality of the canvas is important for the expressiveness of the painting.

Cotton canvas is a durable and inexpensive material, suitable for painting with pastel strokes.

In oil painting, such bases as burlap, plywood, hardboard, metal, and even paper are also used.

Canvases are stretched over cardboard and on a stretcher. Canvases on cardboard are thin and usually do not come in large sizes, and do not exceed 50 * 70. They are lightweight and easy to carry. Canvases on a stretcher are more expensive, ready-made canvases on a stretcher can reach a size of 1.2m by 1.5m. The finished painting is framed.

Before working with oil, the canvases are glued and primed. This is to ensure that the oil paint does not destroy the canvas and for the paint to adhere well to the canvas.

Oil paintings are most often painted by placing the canvas on an easel. In oil painting, a palette knife technique is used. Palette knife - a tool made of flexible steel in the form of a knife or spatula with a curved handle. The different shape of the palette knife helps to achieve different texture, relief, volume. You can also apply even, smooth strokes with the palette knife. The blade of a palette knife can also be used to create fine lines - vertical, horizontal, chaotic.

PASTEL

Pastel(from lat. pasta - dough) - a technique of painting and drawing on a rough surface of paper and cardboard with pastels. Pastel is one of the most unusual types of visual materials. Painting with pastels is airy and gentle. The subtlety and grace of the pastel technique gives the paintings a liveliness, somewhere fabulous and magic. In the technique of "dry" pastels, the technique of "shading" is widely used, which gives the effect of soft transitions and tenderness of color. Pastel is applied to rough paper. The color of the paper matters. The background color, showing through strokes of pastel, evokes a certain mood, weakening or intensifying the color effects of the picture. Paintings with pastels are fixed with a fixative and stored under glass.

The pastel technique gained wide popularity and reached its heyday in the 18th century. Pastel has the ability to give any subject extraordinary softness and tenderness. In this technique, you can make any subject - from landscapes to drawings of people.

The advantages of pastels are in great freedom for the artist: it allows you to remove and overlap entire layers of painting, to stop and resume work at any time. Pastel combines the possibilities of painting and drawing. She can draw and write, work with shading or a painterly spot, dry and wet brush.

Pastel types:

dry- made from pigment by pressing without adding oil

oil- is made from a pigment with linseed oil by pressing.

wax- made from pigment by pressing with the addition of wax

Techniques for working with pastels are varied. Pastel strokes are rubbed in with your fingers, special blending stubs, leather rollers, silk square brushes, soft tampons. The pastel technique is very subtle and complex in its overlays with pastel "glaze" of color on color. The pastel is applied with spots, strokes, glazes.

To work with pastel pencils, you need bases that hold the pastel, preventing it from shedding. Pastels work on rough grades of paper, such as "torchon", Whatman paper, emery paper, on loose, fleecy cardboard, suede, parchment, canvas. The best base is suede, on which some of the classic pieces are written. Pastel drawings are fixed with special fixatives that prevent the pastels from shedding.

Edgar Degas was an unsurpassed pastel master. Degas had a sharp eye and an infallible pattern, which allowed him to achieve unprecedented effects in pastels. Never before have pastel drawings been so reverent, masterly careless and so precious in color. In his later works, reminiscent of a festive kaleidoscope of lights, E. Degas was obsessed with the desire to convey the rhythm and movement of the scene. To give the paints a special shine and make them glow, the artist dissolved the pastels with hot water, turning it into a kind of oil paint, and applied it to the canvas with a brush. In February 2007, at the Sotheby’s auction in London, Degas's pastel "Three dancers in purple skirts" was sold for $ 7.87 million. In Russia, pastel masters worked in pastels such as Repin, Serov, Levitan, Kustodiev, Petrov-Vodkin.

SANGINA

The color range of sanguine, material for drawing, from brown to close to red. With the help of sanguine, the tones of the human body are well conveyed, so portraits made by sanguine look very natural. The technique of drawing from life using sanguine has been known since the Renaissance (Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael). Often, sanguine is combined with charcoal or Italian pencil. To ensure greater durability, sanguine drawings are fixed with a fixative or placed under glass.

Sanguine has been known since antiquity. It was then that sanguine made it possible to introduce flesh-colored color into the drawing. The technique of drawing sanguine became widespread during the Renaissance. Renaissance artists developed and widely used the technique of "three pencils": they applied a drawing with sanguine or sepia and charcoal on tinted paper, and then highlighted the desired areas with white chalk.

Sanguine(from Latin "sanguineus" - "blood red") - these are pencils of red-brown tones. Sanguine is made from finely grated burnt sienna and clay. Like pastels, charcoal and sauce, sanguine is a soft material that is shaped into square or round crayons during production.

With the help of sanguine, the tones of the human body are well conveyed, so portraits made by sanguine look very natural.

The sanguine technique is characterized by a combination of broad strokes and shading with strokes of sharply sharpened sanguine blocks. Beautiful sanguine drawings are obtained on a tinted background, especially when charcoal and chalk are added to the main material ("three pencils" technique).

For a drawing, choose a sanguine of such a shade that best suits the characteristics of nature. For example, it is good to paint a naked body with a reddish sanguine, and a landscape - a grayish brown or sepia sanguine.

Sometimes sanguine is combined with charcoal, which gives cold shades. The contrast between warm and cold shades gives a special charm to such works.

For greater durability, sanguine designs can be secured with a fixative or placed under glass.

TEMPERA

Tempera(from the Latin "temperare" - to combine) - a binder of paints, consisting of a natural or artificial emulsion. Before the improvement of oil paints by J. Van Eyck (15th century), medieval egg tempera was one of the most popular and widespread types of painting in Europe, but it gradually lost its significance.

In the second half of the 19th century, the disappointment that followed in the later oil painting was the beginning of the search for new binders for paints, and the forgotten tempera, whose well-preserved works speak eloquently for themselves, again attracts interest.

In contrast to oil painting and old tempera, the new tempera does not require a certain system of painting from the painter, giving him in this respect complete freedom, which he can use without any prejudice to the strength of the painting. Tempera, unlike oil, dries quickly. Tempera paintings, coated with varnish, are not inferior in color to oil painting, and in terms of immutability and durability, tempera paints are even superior to oil paints.

Graphic materials and techniques are varied, but, as a rule, the basis is a paper sheet. The color and texture of the paper plays a big role. Colorful materials and techniques are determined by the type of graphics.

The standard idea of ​​drawing lessons for many is associated with an album and drawing supplies: paints, pencils, brushes and felt-tip pens. Meanwhile, there are many ways to make a lesson in an unusual and exciting way, one that will cause positive emotions not only in children, but also in adults.

Unusual drawing techniques for children, using non-standard tools and materials, are a great opportunity to show imagination and create spectacular, memorable crafts.

We draw with our hands

A very simple way to draw unusual and varied pictures, using the tool that is always at hand, namely the hand of the artist himself. From a very young age, you can use simple abstract pictures, and when the child gets older, you can complicate the task. The child's hand provides ample opportunities for creating plots, here are two of the simplest ones.

Butterfly

Take a piece of paper, lay it horizontally. Fold in half, fix the fold line well, then unfold the sheet. Put some gouache on the brush (let the child choose the colors on his own), and paint the baby's palm. If the child holds the brush well and confidently, then he can paint his own palm himself, this will give him a lot of pleasure. It is better to paint the pads of the fingers and the palm in different colors, this will make the drawing more vivid.

Painted palm young artist applies to a sheet of paper. In this case, the base of the palm should be at the fold line of the sheet. Since the wing of a butterfly consists of two parts, once the child applies his palm, slightly turning his fingers down the drawing, the second time, on the contrary, turning his palm up with his fingers.

Then attach the second half of the sheet to the resulting handprint - and you will have a wonderful butterfly. For reliability, you can draw the torso and the head of a butterfly by hand, or cut them out of colored paper and glue them with glue.

Wood

An excellent version of the image of a tree using the same hand, however, now you need not only a palm, but also a part of the hand above the hand.

The technique is simple: the child paints brown gouache palm and a piece of hand just above the wrist, and applies it to an upright sheet of paper. It turns out a tree trunk, which remains to draw foliage. Options are also possible here: you can draw it yourself, or you can glue real leaves collected in the autumn forest.

Pictures in stamps

A creative solution that will make any drawing unexpected and eye-catching is drawing its elements with stamps.

What is a stamp? This is a piece of the base on which the desired pattern is cut out or fixed with improvised means.

Anything can serve as materials for making stamps:

• raw potato tubers;
• small apples cut in half;
• plasticine;
• Lego constructor elements;
• lids from small jars;
• matchboxes and threads.

A versatile and inexpensive impression material that everyone can find.

• Select small tubers, wash and peel them.
• Cut the tuber in half. On the resulting surface of the stamp, depict the imprint that you want to get, for example, it will be a leaf of a tree.
• Use a knife to make cuts that simulate the structure of the sheet. Then dip the finished stamp in paint and make an impression on a pre-prepared piece of paper.
• To create a complete composition, you can make the necessary blank, for example, an image of a tree branch, leaves on which you can draw with the resulting stamp.

Attention: potatoes quickly and well absorb paint, therefore, to obtain impressions of different colors, each time you need to use a new stamp (potato tuber).

Stamps on plasticine

One of the favorite ways for children to create their own stamps. To do this, you will need: a piece of dense plasticine and a ballpoint pen (for small parts). For larger details that need to be extruded into the print, it is best to use a thick lead pencil.

We make an impression:

• Roll a 2-3 cm long sausage out of plasticine. Make the bottom of the sausage smooth and even.
• We take ballpoint pen and put, pressing deeply inward, a point in the middle of the base of the print. This will be the core of the flower.
• We apply a ballpoint pen to the stamp as follows: with the pointed end towards the center, press well. We make several prints, forming petals around the core of the flower.
• We fill the formed indentations of the stamp with paint, it is better if it is acrylic paints or gouache. The watercolors will pour out giving desaturated colors.
• We print on paper. The composition can be diversified by making several stamps with different patterns.

Apple postcards

For this "tasty" painting technique you will need: several small apples, gouache or acrylic paints, two or three sheets of thick colored cardboard.

Cut the apples into halves, dilute a few colors in an additional bowl. In order for the prints to turn out to be saturated, do not dilute the paints too much. With the cut side of the apple dipped in the paint, invite your child to make several prints on pieces of colored cardboard.

Let the parents not be intimidated by the fact that when they see bright and appetizing prints, children will have a desire to put them on cardboard in an incredible amount. When the prints are dry, the sheets of cardboard can be cut to fit the postcard format, or by cutting out a square with apple prints, glue it onto a large piece of cardboard in a contrasting color. The tails of the apples can be painted separately. It turns out a wonderful picture for the kitchen!

Thread stamps

This kind of creativity attracts children with funny geometric patterns resulting from the use of ordinary threads.

The main materials for this unusual technique are simple and affordable - these are boxes of matches (you only need boxes, no matches), thick threads of woolen or synthetic yarn, and paints (all except watercolors).

In order to make a stamp, you need to take a small piece of thread and wrap a matchbox with it. The thread should not be too thin and should fit snugly around the box. We dip the resulting stamp in paint and get a spectacular print with a geometric pattern.

Unusual painting and natural materials

The most interesting drawing techniques for children are associated with natural materials different textures: wood, stone, plant seeds, and, of course, tree foliage.

Collecting leaves with children in the autumn forest, we sometimes do not suspect what room for a flight of imagination and unusual patterns lies in an ordinary dried oak or maple leaf.

Drawings with autumn foliage

Any leaves are needed for these works: large and small, elongated and round, green, yellow with or without cuttings. While walking in the woods, draw the children’s attention to the variety of shapes and colors. autumn leaves.

Leaf prints

Option one

We take a sheet of not very thick white paper, put it on the table in front of the children. It is better to fix its corners with tape, for this type of work it is important that the sheet does not slide on the table. We lay out three sheets of different shapes next to each other and "print" each sheet in turn, sketching it with colored wax crayon.

Second option

We "print" with leaves, after applying paint on them. This drawing method looks like this.

Take a few large sheets and invite the children to work as autumn wizards. Have them paint one side of each sheet with their own colors, whatever they like, in no particular order. Then have the colored side of the leaves touch the white sheet of paper. You will get bright, juicy prints.

This type of work will allow you to create interesting and bright collages on the autumn theme!

How to create colored paper yourself

Few people know that it is enough just to create a spectacular different colored paper at home on your own. As a result of this unusual technique, it will turn out to be a bizarre, unusual color, reminiscent of a marble stone pattern.

To create this type of colored paper you will need:

• men's shaving foam;
• watercolor or acrylic paints;
• disposable paper plate for mixing paints;
• paper;
• a piece of thick cardboard.

Apply an even, dense layer of foam to the plate. Lightly dilute the paints with water, the colors should be saturated and bright. Then we take a little paint of each color with a brush and "drip" a few drops of different shades onto a plate of foam in random order.

The next part is most beloved by children of all ages. Picking up cotton swab(you can remove the cotton tip on the end) or a toothpick, the child must dilute the colored drops in the foam. As a result, completely bizarre shapes are formed - blots, dots, streaks and incredible color combinations.

Then you need to take a sheet of paper and apply it flat to the multi-colored foam formed in the plate. Turn the sheet over, place it dry side on the table. Now you need to scrape off the remaining foam from the surface of the sheet. To do this, just take a piece of thick cardboard, and holding it vertically, remove excess foam.

A sheet of the resulting colored paper in a bright and cheerful color can be used when it dries.

All of the above variety of works, performed by children and adults in unusual drawing techniques, is ideal for home art lessons, creating drawings using collage techniques and decorating family albums using scrapbooking techniques.

Where does this strange statement about myself "I can't draw?" Everyone knows how, only in their own way. So my child began to get upset from time to time that I didn’t know how to draw it or that it didn’t work out beautifully. A friend of the artist suggested to abandon attempts to draw from a model, as is generally done at various drawing circles, and try not standard ones. I suggested trying out the monotype. Further - more, I began to look for more options for similar techniques that reveal the individuality of the child. There was no end of them.

Something turned out to be familiar from childhood.

Blots

Fold the sheet in half, open and paint colored spots on one of the halves. then fold the sheet again and press firmly - iron it with your palm or attach a heavy book. We reveal and consider what this happened (the Rorschach test, probably, seems to have been created)))) You can add something if you want to add.

Frottage

Remember? :)

A sheet of paper is placed on a flat embossed object and then, moving with a non-sharpened colored pencil over the surface, you get a print that imitates the main texture. You can rub pencil crumbs in the same way, on a relief surface. Whoever tried to draw on a table with a relief coating knows how this drawing technique can be included in a drawing completely uninvited :) Or you can create drawings by combining the relief of several objects.

Leaf prints are made in the same way.

It turns out drawing, and the disclosure of individuality, and the development of imagination, and confidence in one’s ability to create, and many, many more useful moments for a child (and an adult) in such techniques. I love universal things like
strollers 3 in 1 :)

Prints

Marble paper

• shaving cream (foam)

• watercolors or food colors

• flat plate for mixing shaving foam and paints

• paper

• scraper

Work plan:

• Apply the shaving foam in an even thick layer to the plate

• Mix paints or food colors of different colors with small amount water to make a saturated solution.

• Using a paintbrush or eyedropper, drip different colors of paint on the surface of the foam in random order.

• Now, with the same brush or stick, smoothly spread the paint over the surface so that it forms fancy zigzags, wavy lines, etc. This is the most creative stage of the whole work, which will delight children.

• Now take a piece of paper and gently place it on the surface of the resulting patterned foam.

• Place the sheet on the table. You just have to scrape off all the foam from the sheet of paper. For these purposes, you can use a piece of cardboard or a lid cut in half.

• Under a layer of shaving foam, you'll find stunning marble patterns. The paint was quickly absorbed into the paper, you just need to let it dry for several hours.

Passepartout

This is when the baby's scabbards are inserted into a sheet with some shape cut out. For example, a butterfly.

Monotype

Drawing with cling film

We apply spots of several colors of watercolor or gouache paint on the entire surface of the sheet. We put the film on top and draw various lines, slightly pressing on the film. Let the paint dry and remove the film. We bring the drawing to the end, with felt-tip pens or pencils.

Soap painting

You can mix paints with soapy water and then apply patterns and shapes with a brush. When painting, soap bubbles form, which create the texture of colorful strokes.

Painting on a wet surface

The technique is very simple: moisten a paper sheet with water, let it dry for 30 seconds and start drawing watercolors... The paints flow into different directions and very interesting stains are obtained (dawn, clouds, trees, rainbow).

And further

1. Salt... Sketch on paper first. Moisten it with water with a brush, sprinkle with salt, wait until it absorbs water, pour excess salt. When everything is dry, draw the missing elements and color. Salt is good for drawing dragonflies, birds, jellyfish, butterflies, snow, smoke.

2. Wax... Prepare a sheet with animal silhouettes that you will "draw" in advance with a candle. Painting over a drawing with paint, a child will unexpectedly "create" images of animals.

3. Foam rubber or sponge... Having dipped a sponge in thick gouache, the child can paint landscapes, bouquets of flowers, lilac branches, apple trees.

4. Bunch of pencils... Tape a large piece of paper securely with duct tape. Gather the colored pencils together so that the sharpened ends are flush. Invite your child to draw.

5. Crayons and starch... Pour some starch onto a sheet of paper and spread it evenly over the surface with your hands. Invite your toddler to draw with crayons on a slippery surface. Better to use the primary colors of the crayons to give you new colors.

6. Colored glue... Pour the glue into empty bottles, add a few drops of a different color to each bottle, and you are ready to create works of art... Draw with colored glue on dark paper using the "drip" technique.

7. Gauze swab... Invite your child to dip a gauze pad in paint and draw clouds, soap bubbles, snow drifts, ducklings, butterflies. The missing details must be completed with a brush or felt-tip pen.
Corn on the cob. Come up with some kind of image. Dip the ear in the paint and roll it over a piece of clean paper. Make a print with the tail of a corncob.

8. Blotography... Let the baby drop paint on the sheet, tilt it in different directions, and then paint the blot so that you get some kind of image. Or a child dips a brush in paint, then places a blot on a sheet of paper and folds the sheet in half so that the "blot" is imprinted on the second half of the sheet. Then he unfolds the sheet and tries to understand who or what the drawing looks like. You can blow on the paint from a straw - also a way to give the blot a place to unfold :)

9. Drawing with dots... The kid, with a light pressure of a pencil, outlines a preliminary contour of the object, then, with a point technique, fills the space inside it, using felt-tip pens or pencils of different colors.

10. Splash painting... The most basic thing here is to master the "spraying" technique. On a dry toothbrush with a fairly stiff bristle, apply gouache, slightly less than you would normally use toothpaste. The consistency of the paint is slightly thicker than the paste, so water is usually not needed here. Hold the brush in your left hand with the bristles downward at a distance of 3-4 cm from the paper and use a stick to scrub the bristles towards you. The multi-colored "splash" (fireworks) and yellow-red ( Golden autumn) on a white sheet; white "splash" on a dark blue background (winter landscape).

11. Drawing with feet... Secure a piece of paper to the floor with duct tape. Place a pencil between your toes and ask your child to draw something. You can create with two feet at the same time on one sheet of paper. Attach a large piece of paper to the wall and ask your child to draw on it while lying on their back.
