Bullfinches do not fly south in winter, however, they can only be seen in winter. The bright colorful plumage of the bullfinch is clearly visible against the background of white snow. Together with titmice and sparrows, bullfinches can often be seen at feeders hung in parks. Externally, the bullfinch resembles a sparrow, and if you have tried to draw a sparrow, then draw a bullfinch It won’t be difficult for you, especially step by step. A drawing of a bullfinch, painted with paints or colored pencils, will be a beautiful decoration for your collection of drawings. To make it easier to draw a bullfinch, let's do it in stages, first with a simple pencil, and then color the drawing with paints.

1. Where to start drawing a bullfinch

To make it easier for you to draw a bullfinch, you can make a marking of four squares and two “halves”. Then we need to draw three circles that will help us draw the overall outline of the bird.

2. We begin to draw the general outline of the bird

Draw a beak in the form of a triangle on the left of the upper circle, and it will immediately look like the head of a bird. From the bottom circle to the right, draw a straight line and make two strokes for the legs. All that remains is to “add” the contours of the body above and below the middle circle and it will already be clear that this is a drawing of a small bird, sparrow or bullfinch.

3. General outline of the bullfinch

This drawing step is not at all difficult, just outline the preliminary contours of the bullfinch’s body.

4. Contour of paws and head

This stage bullfinch drawing also easy. You will need to outline the tail, legs with a simple pencil and draw the beak in detail. Don't forget to draw the eye and you can delete all unnecessary outlines.

5. The final stage of the drawing

You see that drawing a bullfinch step by step is not at all difficult, and by this stage the drawing of the bullfinch is almost finished. All that remains is to add small details of the plumage and paws.

6. How to draw a bullfinch with a pencil

This step-by-step lesson was done on a graphics tablet, but this does not bother you at all draw a bullfinch with a simple pencil, and use a color picture drawn on a tablet to color your drawing. But if you need to draw a bullfinch only with a simple pencil, then you can use the proposed scheme for applying shadows.

7. Drawing of a bullfinch on a tablet

Agree, a color drawing of a bullfinch looks colorful, especially when done on a tablet. I hope you also liked how I drew the bullfinch.

In this lesson you will be able to draw a beautiful Macaw parrot step by step.

The sparrow is very similar to the bullfinch, and if it were not for the bright colorful color of the plumage, then these birds would not be distinguishable.

Drawing a toucan is not difficult, try it. Even if you don't get the shape right, the bright coloring of this bird will hide your mistakes.

The Japanese have 6 seasons, unlike the rest of the world, in a nutshell - + the tsuyu rainy season (6 weeks), and an analogue of our Indian summer. Compared to ours, this period is very long and regular. In Japanese there are at least two names for this season - akibare (Autumn Transparency) and nihonbare (Japanese Clarity). This time of year brings dry, sunny weather after the end of the typhoon period and continues into winter.

Is it any wonder that their impressionism is also not the same as that of representatives of other artistic cultures. They are called chigiri-e. Are we watching?

The chigiri-e technique consists of tearing handmade colored paper and gluing it onto a base. As a result, from many small pieces a picture is obtained that has a two-dimensional image. Paintings made in the chigiri-e style look very unusual; they are something between appliqué and painting. Such collages are made from washi paper, which has amazing properties; thanks to washi paper, these paintings are attractive and original.

Chigiri-e paintings are comparable to painting, although no paints are used in the process of creating them. The contour of the parts is applied to the rice paper with a special pencil, which is easily washed off with water, and then the paper is torn along this contour. A design is applied to the base of their cardboard and pieces are glued on. The texture of rice paper causes the edges to be shaggy. Many artists color the paper themselves, using vegetable dyes, colored inks or pigment powder.

The Japanese measure beauty using four concepts: sabi, wabi, shibuya and yugen. If the first three concepts are rooted in the ancient religion of Shinto, then yugen is inspired by Buddhist philosophy; it is the understatement and beauty that lies in the depths of things, not striving to the surface. For all things, completeness is bad, only the unfinished gives a joyful, relaxing feeling... Long before the artists of French impressionism, the Japanese comprehended its concepts - the beauty of everyday life, simplicity, naturalness and variability.

The Buddhist concept of yugen led Japanese art to celebrate change. The Japanese were able to see the source of beauty in fragility. In line with this aesthetics, the Japanese developed the art of Chigiri-e.ちぎり絵 ), this is the Japanese art of collage or cut-out applique, the name comes from Chigiri - “tear, pinch off”.

The cut appliqué technique is a cultural heritage of Japan. During the Heian period, chigiri-e paintings were made in combination with calligraphy. The poems were written against a background on plain or colored paper. In the 11th century, white or light blue paper was used. The themes of the works are varied, traditionally during the Heian period Chinese motifs were included, which were often used in woodcuts - grass, bamboo, water. These themes are still used today. The combination of texture and transparency results in a characteristic variety of colors. Chigiri-e has become a popular art form. Nowadays this technique is mainly decorative.

The writer Junichiro Tanizaki rightly noted: “Whereas in European paper we see only an object of practical necessity and nothing more, when we look at Chinese or Japanese paper we perceive from it some kind of warmth that gives us inner peace.”

The history, technology and centers of washi production are interesting. The finished Chigiri-e collages are so attractive and original only thanks to the paper. In Sei Shonagon's "Notes at the Bedside" (10th century), there are repeated references to paper. Under the heading “What makes you happy,” she noted: “I managed to get a stack of Michinoku paper or even simple paper, but very good. It's always a great pleasure." Wherever washi paper is produced, it always bears the mark and characteristics of the country, region, city and raw material.

The unique art of creating paintings from torn paper

The Japanese call this hobby “chigiri-e”, which means “torn picture”; now, in the age of high technology, this art is called torn appliqué.
At first glance, it’s as simple as shelling pears. But it was not there! I went through the websites and found out that modest Japanese take a long time to study on their own and provide training services, but... in Japan.
You can read more.
In a word, chigiri-e is both painting and appliqué.
The Chigiri-e technique is based on tearing handmade colored paper and gluing it onto a base.
Simpler: to create a piece, you need to color and tear colored paper, and then fold it.
Making a picture should start with drawing. To do this, you need to take a small piece of thick paper and sketch out a sketch of a masterpiece.
It's best to avoid small parts. Then you need to mark on the sketch exactly what color each fragment should be made in.
Before creating an application, you need to select the appropriate colors. After this, you need to paint over individual pieces of paper with watercolor paints and tear them into small pieces.
The “painting” itself is an applique, because you need to apply scraps of torn paper to the picture.
The Japanese use rice paper in chigiri-e, but in our country it is much more difficult to find such material.
Therefore, you can use filter paper, as it tears easily and stains well. The filter paper is more like a thin brush stroke, so the result is a blurry and very delicate image.

Is it any wonder that their impressionism is also not the same as that of representatives of other artistic cultures. They are called chigiri-e.

Vasya(Japanese) 和紙) - traditional Japanese paper . Made from bark fibers gumpi (this is the name of several types Vikstremia), edgeworthia goldenflower (Edgeworthia chrysantha, called mitsumata in Japan) orBrussonetti paper . Cheaper grades of paper can be made from bamboo, hemp, rice and wheat . It is often mistakenly called " rice paper ".

It is distinguished by high quality: strength (almost impossible to tear with your hands), white color, as well as a characteristic uneven structure.

Used for writing origami , pasting sliding doors in traditional Japanese houses ( shoji ), clothes and myokuri jewelry were made from it ( Japanese 見送り) (or "washi-kanzashi") for the debut of geisha students, stencils for fabric dyeing , and not only. Now used mainly for Japanese calligraphy .
Japanese washi paper, created more than 11 centuries ago, has been recognized by UNESCO as a historical heritage of humanity.

I was lucky to visit the exhibition of the chigiri-e master Ogata Shunko.
Ogata Shunko is a recognized master in the field of traditional applied arts. At exhibitions in Japan, the skilled craftswoman was repeatedly awarded. Some of her works have been donated to the city halls of Sapporo and Kitami, and her paintings adorn the walls of administrative and public buildings in Sapporo, where she lives.

As a member of the Chigiri-e Technology Research Society, Ms. Ogata hosts television programs as well as topical lectures and seminars at home and abroad. She first visited Russia with her exhibition a year ago, and it was the city of Novosibirsk. But the meeting with Sakhalin became special for the resident of the Land of the Rising Sun.

At the opening of the exhibition in the island capital Ogata, it was no coincidence that Shunko was named a Sakhalin artist. Her separation from her small homeland, where she returned after so many years, lasted almost 70 years.

Before arriving with her exhibition in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Ogata Shunko visited Dolinsk, Kholmsk and Tomari. It turned out to be a short excursion through the cities of childhood.

- I was born in Dolinsk before the war. The father was a railway worker, so the family often changed their place of residence, says Ms. Ogata. - My younger brother was born in Krasnogorsk, where we lived for a year, and then moved to Tomari. And now, 68 years later, I visited for the first time the places where I was born and studied. In Kholmsk I recognized the street where our school was located, where I went to first grade and studied for two years. After the war, we were not able to immediately go to Japan, and we lived with Russian people for about two years. It was a good neighborhood. And now I am pleased with the warm welcome of the Sakhalin residents. I am very glad to visit Sakhalin - it’s as if I returned to my childhood...

Ogata Shunko has been practicing Chigiri-e since 1975. The trend itself appeared in Japan in the sixties, but today very few people know that such canvases can be made from rice paper. So Ogata-san is one of the few craftswomen who works in an unusual technique. By the way, only six workshops in Japan produce this exclusive material by hand; the rest of the factories make it using special equipment.

From colored pieces, the artist creates not only paintings, but also rice clothing, as well as painted dishes. Sake bowls and decorative services impress connoisseurs of Japanese craftsmanship. In addition to appliqués, Ogata Shunko masters another art - the amazing brooches and earrings she makes look as if the best jewelers of the country were poring over them.

“It’s good that at one time I didn’t have a teacher, an intrusive authority,” the master admits. - Thanks to this, I brought into reality only those ideas and only in the way I liked. When there is a teacher, he puts pressure on you, forcing you to adapt to some standards. I believe that freedom and constant improvisation are important in creativity - then you can see the master’s style and what he wanted to express in his works. My father instilled a love for art; he was an artist. Having adopted the basics from him, I continued to study myself. Now at exhibitions people can appreciate how much I succeeded.

Ogata spends a lot of time not only creating paintings, but also selecting paints, combinations of colors and shapes. The artist chooses a variety of themes: Japanese landscapes, the fleeting beauty of flowers, birds soaring in the clouds, animals. She depicts people in her works with special reverence. Portraits should turn out sensual, as if alive, because each face shows its own emotions.

“Nowadays young people are interested in the art of photography, but when you look at the photo, you cannot see the soul of the author,” says the Japanese artist. - When you see handmade works, you can see what the master wanted to put into it, what feelings he was possessed at the moment of creating the picture.

The exhibition features more than 170 works using the chigire-e technique, from large to miniature. Some of them take a long time to create - up to several months.
