October 26, 2017

All girls want to be princesses, because these are the heroines they associate themselves with. Therefore, when a kindergarten teacher says to draw a favorite character, the child does not think twice. A little girl comes home and asks her parents to help her draw a princess. Dad shifts the task onto Mom's fragile shoulders. How to deal with such a situation, you can’t fall flat on your face and tell your child that you are not an artist. In this article we will tell you how to draw Vasilisa the Beautiful.

Draw with a pencil

To help a child develop creatively, you first need to maintain the spark. Therefore, if a girl wants to draw a doll of Vasilisa the Beautiful, she needs to help her in this endeavor. We prepare the material; we will need: an A4 sheet, a hard-soft pencil and a soft eraser.

Anyone who has wondered how to draw Vasilisa the Beautiful knows that the most difficult thing is to start. The first thing you should always do before building any drawing is layout. Let's put two marks, one on top of the sheet, the other on the bottom. You can’t get out of them, otherwise our drawing may gradually “go” beyond the boundaries allotted to it. Now we outline the head.

We remember that it fits into the human body 7-8 times. We have outlined a circle, now we can detail it. First we outline the kokoshnik, and only then the facial features. Draw the eyes, nose and lips. Next we move on to constructing the figure. Our task is to draw a character from the cartoon “Vasilisa the Beautiful,” who stands with one hand resting on her side and holds a handkerchief in the other. It is not necessary to completely draw the figure, since it will not be visible from under the dress. But you should still build your hands in proportion. We remember that the hand reaches the person’s mid-thigh. Vasilisa's raised hand should be almost in line with the other hand. Having finished the construction, you need to move on to the details. We draw the folds on the clothes, the ornament on the dress and kokoshnik. Our beauty is ready.

Drawing with watercolors

We can color the picture that we got in the last step or depict Vasilisa the Beautiful in a different pose. But in any case, we will come to the stage when our pencil sketch is ready. All that's left is to add a little color to it.

How to draw Vasilisa the Beautiful in watercolors? You need to start by drawing the figure. Choose yellow and cover the entire sheet with it. We remember that we have neither pure white, nor pure black. When the first layer of paint has dried, we begin to apply paint one by one, moving from the most light shades to the darkest. For example, you can look at I. Bilibin’s illustration “Vasilisa the Beautiful.”

The artist in this drawing did not use halftones, and we can also afford not to do so. Just carefully fill the contours with flowers, and then outline them with a black gel pen.

To please your child, sometimes you need to try. How nice it will be for a girl to receive drawn characters from the fairy tale “Vasilisa the Beautiful” from her mother. Especially if the painting shows a portrait main character. To make your work easier, you don’t need to draw the entire figure, it’s difficult. Therefore, we start with a portrait. We immediately take half of the sheet to the kokoshnik. And then we start building the face. Vasilisa needs to be drawn in ¾, then the proportional irregularities will not be very visible.

In the foreground we draw an eye, draw an axial line and in the depths of the face we draw a second eye, half the size of the first. Somewhere in the middle we draw the nose. To avoid getting into trouble, it is better to outline only the lower part. Well, there are still lips. When drawing them, do not forget about the nasolabial fold. All that remains is to draw the kokoshnik. It's easy. Here you need to show your imagination; you can lay out a pattern with beads or arrange them in a chaotic manner.

DON'T PASS BY!!! HELP THE CHILD!! (BELOW THERE ARE DETAILS) Tamara Gashimova 04/22/2015 19:22 Five-year-old Pavlik from the Voronezh village of Podkletnoye has to breathe through force. While waiting for another operation in a Moscow clinic, he hopes for our help ( http://communa.ru/index.php?ELEMENT_ID=94520 Main news from Voronezh and Voronezh region/ News from Voronezh and the Voronezh region / Society) Pasha - like most five-year-old boys - does not sit in one place for more than five minutes. He runs, jumps, is in a hurry to show us all his toys and books, to blurt out simple secrets. What distinguishes him from his peers is his unusually noisy breathing, unhealthy thinness and small stature. Looks bigger three years don't give. He faced as many trials as would be enough for someone else to live two lives. And there are more than enough diagnoses: congenital heart disease, ventricular septal defect, tracheal stenosis, complete destruction of the cartilaginous rings of the trachea, tracheal bronchus on the right. At ten months of age, Pavlik was sent to hospitalization in Science Center Cardiovascular Surgery named after Bakulev. “We arrived, the doctors listened to his breathing and decided that he had a cold,” says Pasha’s mother, Olga. – We were sent to the sixth hospital, from there, with a suspicion of a foreign body in the respiratory tract, we were transferred to the thoracic department of the Filatov Hospital. There they urgently did a computed tomography scan of the chest and several other necessary studies. The diagnoses were disappointing; due to respiratory failure, the son was transferred to artificial ventilation. Soon at Bakulevka he underwent several operations at once: sliding tracheal plasty, plasty of a ventricular septal defect with a synthetic patch, plasty of the tricuspid valve. The postoperative period was difficult. Three months later we were discharged home. Since then, for four years in a row, Olga and Pasha regularly travel to Moscow for examinations. At first - every six months, now - once a year. Like most children, Pavlik is not afraid of injections. Doesn't react to white coats either. I'm used to it. “Upon arrival, three days of examination,” adds Olga. - Computed tomography, bronchoscopy under anesthesia. If they see that the bronchi are narrowed and the trachea is not growing, an operation is prescribed. Then he wheezes for three weeks and cannot speak. She is raising her son with her retired mother. Sasha, Olga's husband and Pasha's father, died in a car accident shortly after their first trip to Moscow. ... Pasha, with the dexterity of a magician, puts together a picture from a puzzle. - I know all the letters, and I can write them! - he boasts. “And I’ll go to school soon when I’m older.” - Do you have friends? - Yes, Lera, Dima and Arina. I play with them in the summer. Shall I tell you a poem about a lamb and a cloud?.. “Tell me,” we agree. Pasha jabbers with excitement, swallowing his words. Breathes noisily, with noticeable effort. My eyes fill with tears from pity for him. Shut up, baby, save your strength. They will still be useful to you. Olga is a hairdresser by profession. But I can’t go to work. My grandmother can't keep track of his son. IN kindergarten you can't give it away. With such diagnoses, any cold that is harmless to other children threatens Pavlik with severe complications. In addition, he has practically no vaccinations. Family budget - two survivors' pensions and grandmother's pension. “Two years ago, after a medical and social examination at Bureau No. 24, Pasha’s disability was removed, explaining that the existing anomaly in the development of the tracheobronchial tree does not limit his development,” Olya continues. - The recommendations of the attending physician Alexander Yuryevich Razumovsky, Doctor of Medical Sciences, professor, chief pediatric surgeon of the Moscow Department of Health, head of the department of thoracic surgery of Children's City Clinical Hospital No. 13 named after Filatov, regarding the recognition of his son as disabled, were not taken into account. ... There are vegetable seedlings and flowers on the windowsills. The window in Pasha’s room from the street is covered with film. The frames are old, and no matter how you insulate them, they still let air through. The house is about half a century old. Clean, comfortable, spacious. Several years ago, with the help of Voronezh Regional Duma deputy Sergei Lukin, water was brought into the house. - Turned, as necessary, for help to deputies of the regional and city dumas, ordinary people: They all helped us in any way they could. The director of a local furniture company donated a wall and a “children’s room.” On the nineteenth of May we need to go to Moscow again, but there is no money for the trip. People no longer trust anyone - there are too many scammers now. Indeed, a lot. But Olga Chugainova is not one of them. She shows us extracts from the medical history, a call for a routine examination, scheduled, indeed, for May 19. There are tears in her eyes. You have to pay not only for tickets to Moscow and back, but also for accommodation. Pasha will be admitted to the Filatov hospital, and mom will have to spend the night in a hotel. And also medications. They also cost money. And quite a lot. And you have to buy them constantly. Pasha asks to give him a car - “Bendeve”. BMW, that is. And Olga hopes for good people, ready to help and support her son’s health. The bank account and card are registered in the name of her mother, Raisa Vasilievna Yagodkina.

In a certain kingdom there lived a merchant. He lived in marriage for twelve years and had only one daughter, Vasilisa the Beautiful. When her mother died, the girl was eight years old. Dying, the merchant's wife called her daughter to her, took out the doll from under the blanket, gave it to her and said: “Listen, Vasilisa! Remember and fulfill my last words. I’m dying and, together with my parent’s blessing, I’m leaving you this doll; always keep it with you and don’t show it to anyone; and when some misfortune befalls you, give her something to eat and ask her for advice. She will eat and tell you how to help the misfortune.” Then the mother kissed her daughter and died.

After the death of his wife, the merchant struggled as he should, and then began to think about how to get married again. He was a good man; It wasn’t about the brides, but he liked one widow the most. She was already old, had two daughters of her own, almost the same age as Vasilisa - therefore, she was both an experienced housewife and mother. The merchant married a widow, but was deceived and did not find in her a good mother for his Vasilisa. Vasilisa was the first beauty in the whole village; her stepmother and sisters were jealous of her beauty, tormented her with all kinds of work, so that she would lose weight from work, and turn black from the wind and sun; There was no life at all!

Vasilisa endured everything without complaint and every day she grew prettier and fatter, and meanwhile the stepmother and her daughters grew thin and ugly from anger, despite the fact that they always sat with folded arms like ladies. How was this done? Vasilisa was helped by her doll. Without this, where would a girl cope with all the work! But Vasilisa herself would not eat it, but would leave the most for the doll. tasty, and in the evening, when everyone had settled down, she locked herself in the closet where she lived and treated her, saying: “Here,” doll, eat, listen to my grief! I live in my father’s house, I don’t see any joy for myself; evil stepmother drives me away white light. Will you teach me how to be and live and what to do?” The doll eats, and then gives her advice and consoles her in grief, and the next morning she does all the work for Vasilisa; she is just resting in the cold and picking flowers, but her beds have already been weeded, and the cabbage has been watered, and the water has been applied, and the stove has been heated. The doll will also show Vasilisa some grass for her sunburn. It was good for her to live with her doll.

Several years have passed; Vasilisa grew up and became a bride. All the suitors in the city are wooing Vasilisa; No one will even look at stepmother's daughters. The stepmother gets angrier than ever and answers all the suitors: “I won’t give the younger one away before the older ones!”, and while seeing off the suitors, he takes out his evil on Vasilisa with beatings.

One day a merchant needed to leave home for for a long time on trade matters. The stepmother moved to live in another house, and near this house there was dense forest, and in the forest in a clearing there was a hut, and in the hut lived Baba Yaga: she did not let anyone near her and ate people like chickens. Having moved to the housewarming party, the merchant's wife continually sent her hated Vasilisa into the forest for something, but this one always returned home safely: the doll showed her the way and did not let her near Baba Yaga's hut.

Autumn came. The stepmother gave all three girls evening work: she made one weave lace, the other knit stockings, and made Vasilisa spin, and gave everyone homework. She put out the fire in the whole house, left one candle where the girls were working, and went to bed herself. The girls were working. When the candle burned, one of the stepmother’s daughters took the tongs to straighten the lamp, but instead, on her mother’s orders, she accidentally put out the candle. “What should we do now?- the girls said. – There is no fire in the whole house, and our lessons are not over. We must run to Baba Yaga for fire!” - “The pins make me light!- said the one who wove lace. – I will not go". - “And I won’t go, said the one who was knitting the stocking. – The knitting needles give me light!” - “You should follow the fire,- they both shouted. – Go to Baba Yaga!- and they pushed Vasilisa out of the room.

Vasilisa went to her closet, placed the prepared dinner in front of the doll and said: “Here,” doll, eat and listen to my grief: they are sending me to Baba Yaga for fire; Baba Yaga will eat me!” The doll ate, and her eyes sparkled like two candles. “Don’t be afraid, Vasilisa!- she said. – Go wherever they send you, just keep me with you always. With me, nothing will happen to you at Baba Yaga’s.” Vasilisa got ready, put her doll in her pocket and, crossing herself, went into the dense forest.


She walks and trembles. Suddenly a rider gallops past her: he is white, dressed in white, the horse under him is white, and the harness on the horse is white - it began to dawn in the yard.

She goes further, as another horseman gallops: he himself is red, dressed in red and on a red horse - the sun began to rise. Vasilisa walked all night and all day, only by the next evening she came out into the clearing where the Baba Yaga’s hut stood; a fence around the hut made of human bones; human skulls with eyes stick out on the fence; instead of ropes at the gate there are human legs, instead of locks there are hands, instead of a lock there is a mouth with sharp teeth. Vasilisa was stunned with horror and stood rooted to the spot. Suddenly the horseman rides again: he himself is black, dressed in all black and on a black horse; he galloped up to gate of Baba Yaga and disappeared, as if he had fallen through the ground - night fell. But the darkness did not last long: all the skulls on the fence had their eyes glowing, and the whole clearing became as light as in the middle of the day. Vasilisa was trembling with fear, but not knowing where run, remained in place.

Soon a terrible noise was heard in the forest: trees were cracking, dry leaves were crunching; Baba Yaga left the forest - she rode in a mortar, drove with a pestle, and covered her tracks with a broom.


She drove up to the gate, stopped and, sniffing around her, shouted: “Fu-fu! Smells like the Russian spirit! Who is there?" Vasilisa approached the old woman with fear and, bowing low, said: “It’s me, grandma! My stepmother’s daughters sent me to you for fire.” - "Fine, - said Baba Yaga, - I know them, if you live first and work for me, then I will give you fire; and if not, then I’ll eat you!” Then she turned to the gate and screamed: “Hey, my constipation is strong, open up; my gates are wide, open!” The gates opened, and Baba Yaga drove in, whistling, Vasilisa came in behind her, and then everything was locked again. Entering the upper room, Baba Yaga stretched out and said to Vasilisa: “Give me what’s in the oven here: I’m hungry.”

Vasilisa lit a torch from those skulls that were on the fence, and began to take food out of the stove and serve it to the yaga, and there was enough food for about ten people; from the cellar she brought kvass, honey, beer and wine. The old woman ate everything, drank everything; Vasilisa only left a little bacon, a crust of bread and a piece of pig meat. Baba Yaga began to go to bed and said: “When I leave tomorrow, look - clean the yard, sweep the hut, cook dinner, prepare the laundry, and go to the granary, take a quarter of the wheat and clear it of the nigella. Let everything be done, otherwise I’ll eat you!” After such an order, Baba Yaga began to snore; and Vasilisa placed the old woman’s scraps in front of the doll, burst into tears and said: “Here, doll, eat, listen to my grief! Baba Yaga gave me a hard job and threatens to eat me if I don’t do everything; help me!" The doll replied: “Don’t be afraid, Vasilisa the Beautiful! Have dinner, pray and go to bed; the morning is wiser than the evening!”

Vasilisa woke up early, and Baba Yaga had already gotten up and looked out the window: the eyes of the skulls were going out; then a white horseman flashed by - and it was completely dawn. Baba Yaga went out into the yard, whistled - a mortar with a pestle and a broom appeared in front of her. The red horseman flashed by - the sun rose.


Baba Yaga sat in the mortar and left the yard, driving with a pestle and covering the trail with a broom. Vasilisa was left alone, looked around Baba Yaga’s house, marveled at the abundance in everything and stopped in thought: what work should she take on first. He looks, and all the work has already been done; The doll was picking out the last nigella grains from the wheat. “Oh, you, my deliverer!- Vasilisa said to the doll. – You saved me from trouble." - “All you have to do is cook dinner,- answered the doll, getting into Vasilisa’s pocket. – Cook with God, and rest well!”

By evening, Vasilisa has prepared the table and is waiting for Baba Yaga. It began to get dark, a black horseman flashed behind the gate - and it became completely dark; only the eyes of the skulls glowed. The trees crackled, the leaves crunched - Baba Yaga was coming. Vasilisa met her. “Is everything done?”- asks the yaga. “Please see for yourself, grandma!”- said Vasilisa. Baba Yaga looked at everything, was annoyed that there was nothing to be angry about, and said: "OK then!" Then she shouted: “My faithful servants, dear friends, sweep away my wheat!” Three pairs of hands appeared, grabbed the wheat and carried it out of sight. Baba Yaga ate her fill, went to bed, and again gave orders to Vasilisa: “Tomorrow you do the same as today, and in addition, take poppy seeds from the bin and clear them from the earth, grain by grain, you see, someone out of malice mixed the earth into it!” The old woman said, turned to the wall and began to snore, and Vasilisa began to feed her doll. The doll ate and said to her as yesterday: “Pray to God and go to bed; morning is wiser than evening, everything will be done, Vasilisushka!

The next morning, Baba Yaga again left the yard in a mortar, and Vasilisa and the doll immediately corrected all the work. The old woman returned, looked at everything and shouted: “My faithful servants, dear friends, squeeze the oil out of the poppy seed!” Three pairs of hands appeared, grabbed the poppy and took it out of sight. Baba Yaga sat down to dinner; she eats, and Vasilisa stands silently. “Why don’t you say anything to me?- said Baba Yaga. – You’re standing there dumb!”“I didn’t dare- Vasilisa answered, - and if you allow me, I would like to ask you something.”"Ask; But not every question leads to good: if you know a lot, you’ll soon grow old!” “I want to ask you, grandmother, only about what I saw: when I was walking towards you, a rider on a white horse, white himself and in white clothes, overtook me: who is he?” - “This is my clear day”- answered Baba Yaga. “Then another rider on a red horse overtook me, he was red and dressed all in red; Who is this?" - “This is my red sun!”- answered Baba Yaga. “What does the black horseman mean who overtook me at your very gate, grandmother?” - “This is my dark night - all my servants are faithful!”


Vasilisa remembered the three pairs of hands and was silent. “Why aren’t you asking yet?”- said Baba Yaga. “I’ll have enough of this too; You yourself, grandmother, said that if you learn a lot, you will grow old.” - "Fine,- said Baba Yaga, - Why are you only asking about what you saw outside the yard, and not in the yard! I don’t like to have my dirty laundry washed out in public, and I eat people who are too curious! Now I ask you: how do you manage to do the work that I assign you?” - “My mother’s blessing helps me”- Vasilisa answered. “So that's it! Get away from me, blessed daughter! I don’t need the blessed ones.” She pulled Vasilisa out of the room and pushed her out the gate, took one skull with burning eyes from the fence and, putting it on a stick, gave it to her and said: “Here is a fire for your stepmother’s daughters, take it; This is what they sent you here for.”


Vasilisa ran home by the light of the skull, which went out only with the onset of morning, and finally, by the evening of the next day, she reached her home. Approaching the gate, she wanted to throw the skull. "That's right, at home, - thinks to himself, - they don’t need fire anymore.” But suddenly a dull voice was heard from the skull: “Don’t leave me, take me to my stepmother!”

She looked at her stepmother’s house and, not seeing a light in any window, decided to go there with the skull. For the first time they greeted her kindly and told her that since she left, they had no fire in the house: they could not make it themselves, and the fire they brought from the neighbors went out as soon as they entered the room with it. “Maybe your fire will hold on!”- said the stepmother. They brought the skull into the upper room; and the eyes from the skull just look at the stepmother and her daughters, and they burn! They wanted to hide, but no matter where they rush, eyes follow them everywhere; by morning they were completely burned into coal; Vasilisa alone was not touched.

In the morning Vasilisa buried the skull in the ground, locked the house, went into the city and asked to live with a rootless old woman; lives for himself and waits for his father. Here's what she says to the old lady: “I’m bored of sitting idle, grandma! Go and buy me the best linen; At least I’ll spin.” The old woman bought good flax; Vasilisa sat down to work, her work is burning, and the yarn comes out smooth and thin, like a hair. There was a lot of yarn; It’s time to start weaving, but they won’t find reeds that are suitable for Vasilisa’s yarn; no one undertakes to do something. Vasilisa began to ask for her doll, and she said: “Bring me some old reed, an old shuttle, and some horse mane; I’ll make everything for you.”

Vasilisa got everything she needed and went to bed, and the doll prepared a glorious figure overnight. By the end of winter, the fabric is woven, and so thin that it can be threaded through a needle instead of a thread. In the spring the canvas was whitened, and Vasilisa said to the old woman: “Sell this painting, grandma, and take the money for yourself.”. The old woman looked at the goods and gasped: “No, child! There is no one except the king to wear such a linen; I’ll take it to the palace.”

The old woman went to royal chambers Yes, everyone walks past the windows. The king saw and asked: “What do you want, old lady?” - “Your Royal Majesty,” the old woman answers, I brought a strange product; I don’t want to show it to anyone except you.” The king ordered the old woman to be let in and when he saw the painting, he was amazed. "What do you want for it?"- asked the king. “There is no price for him, Father Tsar! I brought it to you as a gift.” The king thanked him and sent the old woman away with gifts.

They began to sew shirts for the king from that linen; They cut them out, but nowhere could they find a seamstress who would undertake to work on them. They searched for a long time; Finally the king called the old woman and said: “You knew how to strain and weave such a fabric, you know how to sew shirts from it.” - “It was not I, sir, who spun and wove the linen,- said the old woman, - This is the work of my stepchild, the girl.” - “Well, let her sew it!” The old woman returned home and told Vasilisa about everything. "I knew,- Vasilisa tells her, - that this work of my hands will not escape.” She locked herself in her room and got to work; She sewed tirelessly, and soon a dozen shirts were ready.

The old woman took the shirts to the king, and Vasilisa washed herself, combed her hair, got dressed and sat down under the window. He sits and waits for what will happen. He sees: the king’s servant is coming to the old woman’s courtyard; entered the upper room and said: “The Tsar-Sovereign wants to see the artisan who made the shirts for him, and to reward her from his royal hands.”
