Step-by-step drawing of the city portrait: description and recommendations

Gorodets painting is a wonderful drawing technique, which was created exactly in Russia. Often even in kindergartens, lessons are taught on the art of depicting objects and animals in unique bright colors with elements of a fairy tale.

History of the town's mural

Usually the city furniture was decorated with wooden products. Since originally it was the folk craft of drawing on wood of Nizhny Novgorod region.

His development he received in the second half of the 19th century, near the village of Gorodets, hence the name. There were a lot of forests in that area, so the material came out cheap. And from it, in turn, made children's toys, furniture, houses and much more. To decorate the wooden objects used painting, which did not do without bright garlands of flowers.

So Gorodetskaya painting gradually moved to almost all objects of everyday life of people. And the images of various fairytale plots and motley flowers gave the paintings a special memorable story.

Now this technique is still popular. You can easily find pieces of furniture, especially for children, decorated with lush colors. And as the elements are large enough, the teachers in kindergartens began to use step-by-step drawing of the town's painting during the creative classes.

Elements and techniques for their execution in the city list

The real masters of the city's painting, first of all, pay attention to the statement of the hand during the work. The brush should only be held vertically so that it can rotate without obstacles between the fingers (large, index and middle). With the correct setting, all the elements of the painting are given without much effort.

The work is carried out on the painting in two stages:

• Underpainting;
• Revival.

For podmalevka use large brushes, fill the entire figure at once. For example, all horses are covered with black paint, except the harness. Such a reception is available even for a five-year-old child. The main thing in it is to smudge the paints with an even and thin layer so that no lumens remain.

Animation is a technique by which the sketch of a drawing turns into a picture. In this case, the brushes are thin (artistic). They work only with black and white paint, unlike underpainting, where any color is acceptable. Dip only the tip, and all the details are done neatly.

A variety of dots and curls cause animating, which helps to revitalize the picture. But they have strict rules of execution. For example, you can apply only arcs, dots, strokes and droplets. The main thing is to touch only the end of the brush, so that the smears are smooth and beautiful.

Absolutely all the elements of the city's mural are applied without a preliminary sketch pencil. That is why every work is individual.

How to depict flowers in a city list

To make the paintings turned out particularly well, let us consider the step-by-step drawing of the Gorodets painting on the example of flowers. They are considered a symbol of health.

In order to master the technique of urban painting quite well, it is enough to learn how to draw four flowers. Work is carried out in three stages, in contrast to other elements:

• Underpainting;
• Guidance of petals;
• Revival.

While you are studying, as well as if the work is done by children, you can use a pencil in the technique of drawing "city painting". Step-by-step drawing for children, and for adults, will look like this:

1. Put on a sheet of paper in pencil four circles (three identical and one smaller)
2. Take a thin brush and put the cherry paint round spots (in the first two - side, and in the remaining - in the middle)
3. Using the same paint, on the first circle draw an arc with the edge. To correctly guide it, hold the brush perpendicular to the sheet of paper. Just touching, start drawing, then make pressure, and finish again with a thin line.
4. On the second circle draw the same arc, but not on the edge, but inside. And with the edge, place the petals. Make them the same as the previous element, just smaller.
5. On the third circle, spread the petals already along the circumference.
6. In the fourth, draw droplets by blotting. They should be located along the radius around the central spot.

When you learned how to draw the elements separately, go on to make a flower:

1. First we paint underpainting - large spots of paint in the form of a circle. We take any color, usually it's pink or blue.
2. On these circles, we apply one of the selected patterns that we learned to draw - this is the stage of the lobes.
3. Now we finish the work with animations. They are performed on flowers with white paint. Make neat sketches or set dots to revive the pattern.

Image color - this is the basis of the style "Gorodets painting". Step by step drawing in kindergarten of such patterns will bring a lot of joy to children and will teach them accuracy, since everything must be done without a sketch, and arcs and livenings should be done with special precision.

How to draw a horse in a kindergarten group

As we have already said, the city portrait painting is perfect for children. Consider how to conduct a phased drawing of the Gorodets painting in the older group of the kindergarten.

2. Next, draw a head. To complicate it it is not necessary, take an oval, prisisovyvaete ears and an elongated muzzle.
3. Now your legs. Small triangles in the right places, from them sticks and at the end also triangles (hoofs).
4. We depict the mane and tail with yellow paint, using semicircles in work.
5. Draw a saddle (the color the children choose themselves).
6. Draw the eyes, the bridle and decorate the saddle.

It was a step-by-step drawing of the horse. Gorodetskaya painting will help the children to become more accurate and develop their creative abilities. And also you can get acquainted with young artists with geometric figures.

We paint the board of Gorodets painting with children

Particularly interesting for the children in the kindergarten will be a step-by-step drawing of the Gorodets painting on the wooden board as a gift to the parents. You can ask the inmates in advance to bring the workpiece from the house. And the occupation itself is constructed as follows:

2. Determine the center of each dostochki, put the point there with a pencil.
3. Draw a circle with the selected color.
4. When it dries, apply the petals on top (choose one flower option for everyone).
5. After waiting a little, take a thin brush and apply the veins with white color.
6. The remaining space is allowed to be supplemented with curls.
7. The outline of the board is painted with a solid strip of the same color as the flower.

Such an occupation will bring a lot of impressions to the children, and memory will remain for life. Recommend to cover the board with the varnish of the house together with the parents, so that the paint does not crumble with time.
