Outline of a drawing lesson (middle group) on the topic: Non-traditional drawing technique (candles) “Frosty pattern”. Summary of a lesson on drawing in an unconventional technique with candles and watercolors “Magic painting”

Drawing with wax crayons and watercolors is a mixed technique of painting with watercolors and wax. It does not require special skills and at the same time creates a very bright effect, due to which it has become widespread in children's creativity. However, it can also be used in more complex designs for decorative purposes or as an addition to your painting.

The essence of the technique is to draw lines with wax, on top of which watercolor is placed. Areas with wax are not painted over, which creates a “glow” effect of the design. The good thing about this technique is that the materials used are readily available: wax crayons can be taken from baby set, and sometimes even use candle wax; You can also take the simplest watercolor.

When drawing with wax crayons, it is important to understand that it is not easy to make a thin line due to the characteristics of the material, so it is more convenient to use large and generalized contours. Usually this technique is used to paint still lifes, flowers, fish, etc. Wax lines do not easily overlap each other and cannot be erased without leaving a stain, which prevents the creation of complex effects, but at the same time maintains the brightness and purity of the drawing.

Necessary materials

• simple pencil
• wax crayons (one or more colors; can be replaced with a candle)
• watercolor (doesn't matter if it's for children or professional)
• wide brush (for filling the background)
• thin brush (if you need to draw small details)
• paper (it is more convenient to use thick paper, but regular A4 sheets are also possible. It is better to choose paper without strong roughness so that the wax adheres better)
  rough sheets

Which paper should you choose?

Before you start painting with wax crayons and watercolors, let's explain some of the features of watercolor paper. This can be important if you are trying to achieve a certain effect.

There are two types of watercolor paper: cold and hot pressure. Rough cold pressure paper is rougher and therefore produces an uneven line. In addition, to make it brighter, you have to press harder on the chalk. This effect in painting is well suited for conveying highlights on water or a glow effect.

On hot press paper, the texture does not appear as strongly, and the design looks smoother and clearer.

Preparatory stage

It would be good to secure a sheet of paper to a tablet, table or some other surface using tape. This is not necessary, but this will make the paper bulge less (especially true for simple printed sheets).

Drawing with crayons and watercolors is a technique that is best first tried on paper to get used to it.

Prepare a draft. Use wax crayons to draw simple and wavy lines and patterns of different colors (in the photo in the foreground there is a white chalk). See how tightly the wax adheres to the surface of the sheet and how hard you need to press the pencil (if it is lumpy, you may have to go over it several times to get a solid line). Then paint over the lines with watercolors.

With colored crayons, it is better to use paint colors that contrast with them, and not to choose monochromatic ones, so that the chalk stands out brighter. For example, if you chose yellow, then it is better to use blue watercolor, black, etc.

Wait for the paint to dry and see what happens. As you can see, the white chalk creates the feeling of a masking liquid (which can be used as a life hack), the colored chalks are slightly rubbed and mixed with the paint. Look what you got.

The main stage of work

After a little experiment, we have a rough idea of ​​what will happen in practice. Now let's move on to the main stage.

1. First of all, with a simple pencil you need to draw the outline of the picture. It's best not to skip this step because erasing the wax line is difficult. Then we outline the pencil lines with wax in the right places.
2. Next, use watercolor flowers to paint over the areas you need.
3. After this, you can continue to work with layers, apply other colors, and create volume using shadows. The example shows that the yellow crayon is “lost” against the background of the paint, but yours may be different. Once the work has dried, you can trace some details again with wax chalk.

As you can see, the technique is really simple to perform and at the same time gives an expressive effect.

Drawing with children

The technique of drawing with wax crayons (candles) and watercolors is well suited for creating illustrations and crafts with children. We offer several ideas for drawing with wax crayons and watercolors:

• Underwater scene with fish. You can use brightly colored crayons and blue watercolors for water.
• Sky with clouds and birds. Take a white chalk for the clouds, brown, black or other colors for the birds (you can also draw tree branches) and blue paint for the sky.
• Fireworks. Use different bright wax crayons for the fireworks and black watercolor for the night sky.
• Secret note. Write a secret message on a sheet of paper with white crayon, then have your child or friend color it in with dark paint.
• Craft "Stained glass". Suitable even for small children. To do this, just draw abstract patterns with different wax crayons and cover them with watercolors. Then the drawing can be inserted into a frame or, as in this case, glued to the door glass, and you will get an independent decoration, for example, for a birthday.

Auxiliary technique in painting

Wax crayons can be used for a variety of purposes: to create crafts, decorative effects, or as an auxiliary material in painting. We have considered the first two options, and now let's talk about the third.

This option is convenient for plein air painting, when there is no time to wait for the paint to dry completely. Chalk can be applied to light areas and feel free to write on top of them with other colors, without fear of “drowning out” the bright color.

To ensure that the wax does not stand out, you need to use it a little. For example, in this painting you won’t even immediately understand where the wax strokes are applied.

Using paraffin instead of wax crayons

If you don’t have wax crayons, you can easily replace them with paraffin. The effect will be very similar. The only thing is that you will be limited in terms of color.

We hope that you have discovered something new and that drawing with crayons and watercolors will bring you pleasure!

Elena Samonkina

Master class “Drawings - scratches with a candle (wax)”

“I’ll tell you about grattage.

It arouses interest.

You're like a magician scratching

Drawing the whole world miracles."

I'll tell you about interesting technology drawing "graffito" or GRATTAGE! This technique is interesting and accessible to both children and adults of any age.

Scratch - unusual technique drawing, translated from French means to scrape, scratch - this is making a drawing with a sharp instrument, scratching paper or cardboard filled with ink on wax. That’s why grattage is affectionately called “Tsap-scratchy”!

Materials for work: a sheet of paper or cardboard, a brush (sponge, candle, oil pencils, ink (gouache, a jar of water), soap (soap solution, sharp objects for scratching, napkin, newspaper.

Classic scratch paper (black and white): rub a sheet of paper with wax (candle). Then apply mascara (gouache) to the surface with a brush or sponge.

Mascara (gouache) hardly sticks to a greasy surface. To prevent mascara from collecting drops on the wax surface, there is one trick - mix it with soap (soap solution).

When the ink dries, use a sharp object - a stick, a toothpick - to scratch the design, forming thin white strokes on a black background. The table must be covered, otherwise everything around will be strewn with black ink-wax crumbs. The work uses sharp tools to remove black paint from the surface of the cardboard, resulting in a white layer. The result is a spectacular black and white image.

You can paint over a landscape sheet not with a candle, but with egg yolk (base). The drawing will turn out very bright.

Colored scratch paper - it can be drawn using wax or oil pencils, and then a candle is not needed.

Stage 1: paint over a sheet of paper (cardboard) with oil pencils and wax crayons. (can be used colored paper or cover the sheet with watercolors, but then the drawing must be rubbed on top with a candle).

Stage 2: add to black ink (gouache) liquid soap or shampoo and use a brush to cover the painted sheet with this mixture and let it dry. It is necessary to paint over it so that the pencil does not show through. You can let the paint dry and paint again.

Stage 3: the most interesting thing - when the black color is dry, you can draw the contours - with a pencil or transfer it using carbon paper. Then we take a toothpick (stick, stack, knitting needle, fork) and scratch the design across the ink. A pattern of thin colored strokes is formed on a black background.

Drawing unusual materials(in this case with a candle) brings a lot of joy and develops Creative skills children.

Children's drawings:

I'm sure you will succeed. If you try, you won't stop at one drawing.

I wish you and your children pleasant moments of creativity!

Wax and watercolor drawing. Drawing technique

All children love to draw and create their own masterpieces. Today we will tell you aboutmagical, unusual, unconventional drawing with wax and watercolor on paper and we assure you that your child will be infinitely happy that he will succeed and he will probably want to show off his drawing.

Today we introduce you to unusual technology – drawing with a candle. This drawing technique usually delights children, captivating them with the final effect of the image appearing on a sheet of paper. Drawing using this technique gives the child confidence in working with paint, develops imagination, fine motor skills, which is very important for children of preschool and primary school age. It’s even a kind of game that doesn’t tire kids, but rather gives them positive emotions.

First, you need to draw a picture of a candle on a white sheet of paper. We take a piece of a candle and create an outline of the future drawing. By the way, you can draw not only with a candle, but also wax crayons, the effect will be the same. Since children do not know about the property of wax to repel water, for them this method of drawing will seem magical and incredible.

To make it easier to create a sketch, before moving on to the second step of work - drawing with watercolors, you can invite your child to first draw a picture with a simple pencil, and only then trace it along the outline with a candle. You can simplify the task even further - take a regular coloring book and trace it along the contour with a piece of wax or a candle.

We invite you to look through our section and choose the drawing that your baby will like best.

This fish is drawn with a wax colored pencil.

Next we will paint with watercolors. Better to use more dark colors watercolors: blue, black, purple, so the effect will be more noticeable. We take more paint, but less water. Take a wide brush and dip it in watercolor paint or gouache and cover a sheet of paper with large strokes. TOThe paint will slip off the created contour, since the paraffin from which the candle is made is greasy. The drawing will appear as if by magic!

After the drawing has dried, you can additionally draw some elements using felt-tip pens or markers.

For your information: now many children have a lack of self-confidence, poorly developed imagination, and lack of independence. The child is afraid to do something and create on his own; it seems to him that he will not succeed. But the work carried out in kindergarten, performed using this drawing technique, showed very positive dynamics in the psychological mood of the kids.

Here's what the specialist says: “I watched with pleasure how the guys in our classes, holding their breath, looked at their drawings and when something appeared on the sheet, there was an explosion of emotions in the group from what they saw.”

Let your child feel positive emotions both from the process itself and from the result of wax painting!

Wax crayons and wax candle + watercolor

Drawing is one of the important types of art, which is not only a way to convey a particular image, but also internal feelings, perception outside world, emotions, fantasies and much more.

Target: introduce children to non-traditional drawing techniques.

There are many non-traditional drawing techniques; their unusualness lies in the fact that they allow children to quickly achieve the desired result.

Having met methodological literature:

After reviewing this literature, I found a lot interesting ideas and set before myself tasks:

develop technical drawing skills in children;

introduce children to unconventional technology drawing;

teach how to create your own unique image, in a drawing according to unconventional drawing using different colored wax crayons and a wax candle.

Materials: wax crayons and a wax candle, thick white paper, watercolors, a bird feather template, scissors, glue, napkin, brush, glass of water, a simple pencil for each child.

Progress:

Children guess the riddle:

What kind of miracle bird is this?!
Not an owl or a tit,
Not a crane or a thrush...
Like an open fan tail...
Blue, green, red -
How many colors are there on feathers?
Just an important gentleman,
Walks around the yard... (Peacock).

Children's answers.

Educator: Well done, children. We guessed the riddle.

Guys! Listen to the poem:

There was a peacock at the zoo. A very important citizen.

He walked…looked at us. And he wiggled his tail.

And on ours. before our eyes. He waved his tail.

The tail opened...beauty. Multi-colored tones.

The overflows began to play. And the colors all sparkled.

As if he had let go of a fan. The peacock surprised us so much.

We read about him in books. Everyone knew his habits.

As we saw it up close... We quickly opened our mouths.

You can’t call it beauty... You can’t even find the words.

It was like we were in a fairy tale. And we met a peacock.

Did you like the poem?

Children's answers.

Please tell me what, in your opinion, is the most beautiful thing about a peacock?

Children's answers.

Look at the photo.

Of course, the most beautiful detail in a peacock's appearance is its tail.

A peacock needs a beautiful upper tail of feathers. In order to conquer the female, the peacock spreads its plume of feathers. Only the male peacock has a beautiful feather outfit.

Physical education minute:

Alternately, we spread and bring our fingers together, first right hand, then on the left, then on both hands at the same time.

Physical education lesson “Bird”:

Educator: Guys, let's cut out peacock feathers from paper.

Each child receives a template (peacock feather), a sheet of white paper, scissors and a simple pencil.

On a cut out (according to the template) peacock feather, apply a pattern with wax crayons and wax candle. It turns out that there is a “magic drawing”, it is there, but it is not visible if we draw with a wax candle.

Then we paint the feather with watercolors in one or more colors. The drawing appears and we see where it was drawn with a wax candle, since it remains unpainted. Drawing is also done with wax crayons.

After the drawing (feather) has dried, we glue it to the peacock with glue.

This is what we got.

Conducting classes using non-traditional techniques:

helps relieve children's fears;

develops self-confidence;

develops spatial thinking;

teaches children to freely express their ideas;

encourages children to creative searches and solutions;

teaches children to work with a variety of materials;

develops a sense of composition, rhythm, color, color perception;

develops creative abilities.

There is an artist in each of us, and we don’t even know about it. Remember the parable of the “buried talents”. But indeed, many “bury” their talent in the ground, unable to reveal themselves. This is how “undiscovered talents” walk the streets and live everyday lives. It’s just that no one paid attention to the inclinations and abilities in childhood. You need to remember a simple rule - there are no untalented children, there are undiscovered children. And we, adults, must help reveal these talents!
As V. A. Sukhomlinsky said: “The origins of children’s abilities and talents are at their fingertips. From the fingers, figuratively speaking, come the finest threads-rivulets, which are fed by the source of creative thought. The more skill in a child’s hand, the smarter the child.”
