Gorodets painting is a sunny, kind, beautiful painting technique. In the old days, it was used to decorate household items - children's furniture, bast boxes, caskets. And today this style of painting is still popular. How to draw Gorodets painting?
It is necessary
- - Tempera (paint made from natural pigments) or gouache with the addition of glue (PVA);
- - brushes (squirrel no. 2 or no. 3, columns no. 1 or no. 2, flutes - flat brush for underpainting no. 2 or no. 3);
- - wooden base for painting.
Instructions
Step 1
To draw Gorodets painting, take white, black, scarlet, cherry, bright blue, bright red, yellow, chromium oxide and red iron oxide paint. Each primary color can be whitened. To do this, add white paint in a bright color scheme.
Step 2
Draw Gorodets painting on a wooden base, which you must first prime it with red, yellow, blue or black. First, mark the location of the pattern components on the surface with a pencil. It is important to immediately outline the nodes of the composition - where and what bright elements will be located. Place the middle parts between the large elements, which will connect the large ones to each other.
Step 3
The types of compositions of Gorodets painting can be divided into several varieties. Draw the "bouquet" symmetrically on dishes and cutting boards. For a "garland", a "bouquet" variant, draw one or two flowers in the center, small flowers with leaves on the sides. Use this pattern to decorate bread bins, boxes, furniture. Draw "rhombus", a kind of "garland", starting with a large element in the center, gradually reducing the details to the vertices. This composition can be seen on old chests, benches, cabinet doors. Compositions "flower stripe" and "wreath" create from repeating cycles of flowers of the same or different size and color, separated by pairs of leaves. Use these types of patterns to decorate bulky round objects.
Step 4
Gorodets painting consists of various elements - circles, brackets, dots, drops, arcs, strokes and spirals. In the nodes of the composition, draw elements of the correct round shape with bleached paint - these will be the bases of the colors. Draw on top of them in a darker tone of the same color, for example, use blue on blue. Draw the outlines of the flower petals with a thin brush. Mark green leaves between the flowers with two or three strokes.
Step 5
Proceed to the final stage of painting. Use black and white paint to apply strokes and dots on the drawing that will "liven up" it and give it a finished look. This work should be done with the thinnest brush. After the paint has dried, cover the product with a colorless varnish and dry.
