Painting with oil paints is a very laborious task that requires special skills and talent of the artist. But you can draw a picture in another way. Painting with a spray does not require any special artist experience, and it will look as good as a painting painted with a brush.
First you need to make stencils. They can be dried tree leaves, wildflowers and other plants. For the picture, only their shape and size are important. Place the collected leaves and flowers between the sheets of a thick book for several days so that they acquire a flat shape.
To paint, you need a toothbrush without protruding bristles, a comb with a medium frequency of teeth, a small saucer, a brush, a jar of ink and several paints of the desired color.
Take a piece of paper and spread a bouquet of herbs, flowers and leaves on it to your liking. The thinnest flower stems should be laid first. Place larger leaves on top of them. The largest grasses and leaves are stacked last.
Pour some mascara into a saucer. Dip a comb in mascara. Place the comb horizontally over the future painting at a distance of 10-12 centimeters and brush along the teeth of the comb. Small splashes of ink will fall on the paper, gradually closing the gaps. The denser the leaves are laid on the paper, the smoother the contours of the picture will turn out. To get a multi-colored picture, carefully remove the top layer of blades of grass and repeat the procedure. Peel off the dried leaves layer by layer and continue to spray on the mascara. The background of those plants that were removed first will be almost black, and subsequent ones will appear lighter.
After removing all the blanks, take a brush and paint the veins near the leaves with watercolor paint. This will add dimension to the painting. It is better to paint a picture with splashes not on a white sheet of paper, but to prepare the background in advance. Cover the sheet of paper with pink or blue watercolor paint.
Flowers are very difficult to dry, keeping their original shape and without damaging the contours. Therefore, you can use paper cut stencils. You can also cut out various butterflies, dragonflies and birds, which will give the composition a more realistic look.
