We draw with gouache with children 5-6 years old. Master class on a beautiful landscape with step-by-step photos

Fine art lessons are undoubtedly very important for the development of basic drawing skills in children 4-5 years old; they can be taught not only in preschool institutions, but also at home.

To draw with children, it is recommended to use pencils or paints; gouache is an excellent choice. So what are the advantages of this type of paint for painting, why do we paint exactly like this? This paint has a number of advantages:

  • High density;
  • Good pigmentation;
  • Excellent solubility;
  • Can be used to create a drawing on both plain paper and canvas;
  • Dries quickly, leaving an even matte layer;
  • It does not have a pronounced odor, which is the main advantage over other types of paints.

For children 4-5 years old, drawing lessons bring great pleasure, because there is nothing simpler and more exciting than dipping a brush in bright colors and creating intricate lines, patterns, figures of animals and birds on a sheet of paper. Over time, art lessons will help children create more complex images, gradually honing their skills.

Drawing Rules

The first drawing lessons with children 4-5 years old can be held at home with their parents; it is recommended to follow the basic rules:

  • Purity

Before starting fine arts lessons using gouache, you need to prepare, together with the children, the appropriate materials, as well as accessories: brushes, paints, dishes for clean water and for diluting paints, 2-3 pieces of cotton fabric, paper for lining the work surface and for drawing.

  • First stroke

Gouache painting should be done using only one brush and one color of your choice. You can help a preschooler draw something specific or simply show how easy it is to apply paint to a sheet of paper.

How interesting it is to shimmer when mixed with water. Children 4-5 years old will be interested in the procedure of mixing colors and obtaining new shades.

Drawing lessons should begin with a demonstration of exactly how to hold a brush in your hand; tell them that the learning process will require some effort on the part of the preschooler.

Drawing lessons should begin with a demonstration of exactly how to hold a brush in your hand; explain that the process of learning the basics of fine art will require some effort on the part of the preschooler.

Agree on what exactly we are drawing in this lesson: a house, flowers, nature, a river or a sunset. To help beginning artists there will be special magazines on similar topics, “Drawing with Gouache,” or other publications for preschool children.

Tell your 4-5 year old toddler that you must first make a blank for the subsequent drawing, that is, first draw sketches on paper with a simple pencil or colorless gouache. It is worth noting that it fits perfectly on a sheet of paper, regardless of whether the previous layer was applied before or not.

How to work with paint

Before starting work, children should be familiarized with the types of gouache. It can be artistic or poster. It is recommended to take artistic gouache for drawing lessons, since working with such gouache is very convenient:

  • It is diluted with ordinary water; it retains its original pigment even at a high degree of dilution.
  • One shade can be easily covered with another color, more contrasting.
  • It is better to paint with gouache using white, the shade will be deeper and more saturated.
  • If necessary, the paint can be thickened using ordinary office glue.
  • With the help of gouache you can draw almost any character from a fairy tale or cartoon.

Explain to your child that we only paint with paints; you should not taste them, although they are safe.

It is worth noting that for preschool children (4-5 years old), a drawing lesson should bring exclusively positive emotions; children should not be forced to take part in the lesson if they have no desire.

It is necessary to encourage children to draw with the help of games, getting them interested in the gouache depiction of their favorite cartoon character.

We draw together with a 4-5 year old child, teach him simple skills, talk about the simplicity and fun of this activity, and he will definitely show an interest in fine art and want to draw.

Good health, dear friends and guests!
Spring is coming, the winter slumber and night will be replaced by the freshness of the spring morning, Life will begin to emerge, with every new blade of grass that comes to life, with every new petal of a fragrant flower, with a shining riot of greenery around, the gentle, mysterious, alluring Female Soul will awaken, as a symbol and personification continuation of Life, Motherhood, Care, Warmth and Affection.
You may ask why soon, since it’s already March, and we’ve already celebrated Women’s Day?
In fact, real spring is still on the way and its arrival falls between March 20 and March 21 at various times of the day or night, according to the solar cycle. The holiday of the arrival of spring is called the vernal equinox. The bright sun melts the snow, everything around begins to gain Life and Strength. Popular beliefs date the creation of the world and the first man to the month of March, therefore they celebrated the New Year in March, they called this month “birch”, because in March birch trees begin to fill with sap, and in March they release their first buds.


The introduction of Christianity in Rus' did not soon change this ancient custom of starting the new year in March; during this period the Slavs celebrated Komoeditsa - the real Russian Maslenitsa.
In addition to welcoming Spring and celebrating the beginning of the New Year, the Slavic Bear God was also revered on this day. There is an opinion that in ancient times the Slavs called the bear Kom (and hence the saying “first pancake to the Kom,” that is, to the bears). Therefore, early in the morning, before breakfast, with songs, dances and jokes, the villagers brought “pancake sacrifices” (pancakes baked for the holiday) to the forest to the Bear God and laid them out on tree stumps.
There was another custom. Early in the morning, people scattered grain near the temple and at crossroads. This was done so that the Navyas, who took the form of forty, would eat the grain and not interfere with the holiday. Hot pancakes and pies, oatmeal jelly, honey, kvass and snacks were placed on tables covered with tablecloths. The treat was divided into five parts, the fifth part was placed in an open place near the Sacred Fire. This part was intended for deceased relatives.


And so it was in fact for many thousands of years in the Glorious past of our Great Slavic-Aryan civilization, when the spring holiday was celebrated precisely during the awakening of nature itself, which gave new life to everything around, including us, people.
This day is a turning point - the night becomes shorter and shorter, and the day becomes longer and longer. Spring, personifying the revival and rebirth of nature, comes to replace Winter.
For many millennia, March 22, our ancestors had the day of the goddess Vesta (from the word NEWS) - the goddess of Spring, who is called the patroness of the renewing world, it is she who controls the coming of Spring to the Earth and the awakening of the nature of our Earth. It was the day of the Goddess Vesta that was considered the original Russian holiday - Women's Day.


In connection with the awakening of Mother Earth, the fragrance of spring herbs, and the variety of wildflowers, many legends and tales have been composed, carefully passed down from mouth to mouth by our ancestors and ancestors.
One of the legends tells about a beautiful and cheerful god, the god of light, the patron of fire - Kupala. They say that Kupala can appear before people not only on the day of its holiday, more precisely on the night, which is popularly called the night of Kupala.
Kupala also appears on other days, but mainly in the summer, when it is lighter and warmer. Most of all, Kupala loves light, since he himself creates it from forest flowers, from the leaves of young trees, from moss. In summer there is more light because flowers and leaves are everywhere. In winter it is less, and sometimes not at all. The fact is that Kupala prepares winter light even when it is warm outside - it stores flowers, leaves and moss, but these reserves are not always enough for the whole winter, hence the winters are different - one is darker, the other is lighter.


Today, with the children, we will try to help Kupala create more light and a joyful mood, in these last gloomy days of the passing Winter. Welcome to our creative workshop!
Materials and tools:
-sheet of A3 paper
-gouache (sour cream consistency)
-brushes (preferably synthetic)
-rag
-a glass for water

Progress of the master class:

We start working on the flower arrangement with the background. At the top of the sheet we draw a blue or blue stripe of horizontal strokes.


We go down a little lower and draw the second row using white. Each lower color row overlaps the previous one a little, so that the colors mix a little with each other and create a smooth flow from color to color. We work only with horizontal strokes.


After white, we introduce yellow, green, and then red colors.


Don't forget to mix the colors a little at the border of their connection. When working with horizontal strokes, we create the illusion of growing grass.


We are finishing the work on filling the background with ruby ​​gouache.


Next, from the bottom of the work we “pull” ruby ​​blades of grass onto the top of the previous flowers. Each blade of grass should bend smoothly and stretch towards the sun, as if swaying in the breeze, and not stand at attention like a soldier. Then we “pull out” the green blades of grass and the work on the background is completed.


Next, we begin to fantasize about creating a flower arrangement. The main task here is to encourage children not to repeat your actions (I always draw with the children), but to create their own special drawing. Each image of a particular flower is just a technique that children can use in their work, but what kind of bouquet they get depends on the creative imagination of each of them.
Let's start with a simple one - chamomile. They are drawn with white strokes from the middle of the flower, the brush is applied with the tip to the center, and we stretch it a little towards the outer part, gradually pressing on the bristles.


We place daisies over the entire surface of the leaf, they can be very small or, on the contrary, large - it all depends on you.


And after the daisies came flowers of unprecedented beauty; below I will give examples of their images.


The flower is first drawn in yellow, just like a daisy from the middle, only at the end of the petal we create a sharp tip (the tip of the brush, press on the entire pile, and again the tip of the brush).


We draw red petals between the yellow ones.


Then white petals. When painting with creamy gouache, the colors mix a little with each other - creating beautiful new color shades.


We finish the flower with small yellow petals.


We start the second flower with white color.


Don’t wash the brush, but immediately apply ruby ​​color to the white one, and apply brush strokes again.


Then red ones, and we finish the flower with small white strokes.


We will make this flower in a cold color scheme.


Next, you can draw flowers similar to meadow lupine or garden delphinium. They are drawn in the shape of an upside-down carrot; we use “poke-slip” brush strokes or the so-called “poke”.


Ruby color first and then white on top of it.


You can also draw a yellow flower.


And on top of the yellow we again apply white “slippers”.


We first draw the cores of the daisies in yellow, and then shade them a little with orange.


We complement (balance) the composition with a purple flower, and draw yellow blades of grass at the bottom.


You can play around with your fingers and add white inflorescences of herbs. And the work on the flower arrangement is completed.

We offer detailed instructions for painting an autumn landscape in gouache. The finished painting will be a wonderful interior decoration, especially if framed in a baguette.

This creative master class will help you improve your skills in working with gouache, learn how to draw the reflection of trees in water, develop a sense of composition and the ability to reflect the beauty of nature in a drawing.

You will need: gouache, watercolor paper, brushes.

Execution steps:

1. Draw the horizon line with light blue.

2. Cover the upper part of the sky with dark blue.

3. Add white gouache and paint over the rest of the sky up to the horizon line.

4. Draw the water, painting the background light blue, turning into dark blue.

5. Draw clouds with white gouache.

6. Draw the earth with small strokes of brown, light brown and yellow.

7. Draw a tree in the background

8. Against the background of water, draw a mirror image of this tree



9. Draw a few more trees in the same way

10. We paint the crown of the tree with bright autumn colors using a semi-dry brush using the poking method, and in the reflection of the water we use less saturated shades.

11. Using the same principle, we draw the remaining trees.

12. We can finish drawing the Christmas tree and bushes.

13. In the foreground we draw a pine tree trunk and branches.

14. Paint the pine crown with green paint using horizontal strokes.

15. Draw horizontal stripes against the background of water with a semi-dry thin brush using white gouache. We draw a couple more trees next to the pine tree.

16. Using a semi-dry brush using the poking method, we paint tree crowns, fallen leaves with small strokes of the same colors and grass.

Your work is ready! Now you can decorate it with a baguette and decorate the interior, or you can give it as a gift.



Of course, it is not necessary to draw exactly as shown in the master class, because this is a creative process.We wish you inspiration and success!

Gouache flowers step by step for children from 5 years old. Master class with step-by-step photos

Master class on painting with gouache from 5 years old "Decorative composition of Flowers". Getting to know gouache

Author: Natalya Aleksandrovna Ermakova, Teacher, Municipal budgetary educational institution for additional education of children “Children’s Art School named after A. A. Bolshakov”, Velikiye Luki, Pskov region.
Description: The master class is intended for children from 5 years old and their parents, educators, and additional education teachers.
Purpose: interior decoration, gift, drawing for exhibitions and competitions.
Target: creation of a decorative composition "Flowers" using the gouache technique.
Tasks:
-introduce children to the features of gouache, techniques and methods of working with paints, their distinctive features from watercolors.
-teach different ways of working with gouache: applying a stroke, using a palette, working with several colors at the same time;
-promote the development of observation, logical thinking, the ability to analyze and draw conclusions;
- to cultivate an interest in working in the gouache technique, the ability to apply the acquired knowledge in practical work.

Hello, dear guests! Today we will talk about gouache, gouache is the most accessible and easy to use material. Gouache is widely used in visual arts, since with the help of this material the student can easily absorb the basics of artistic craft.
The term "gouache" originally arose in the 18th century in France, although the technique for creating this paint is much older - it was used in Europe in the Middle Ages. Book miniatures were made in gouache already in the Middle Ages, usually in combination with watercolor. During the Renaissance, artists used the gouache technique for sketches, cartons and other preparatory works, as well as for portrait miniatures. For the first time, a combination of two techniques, working in watercolor with the addition of white, was used by the 16th century Mannerist artist Paolo Pino.
Artist Carlos Prunel, series "Carnival".


The gouache technique flourished at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries. In Russia, artists from the World of Art association painted large easel works in gouache, sketches of theatrical scenery, costumes, and posters, using its decorative qualities. Works of art made with gouache are also called gouache.
Artists who have mastered this “frivolous” material to perfection create wonderful, elegant, uniquely velvety works. It is especially remarkable, with the help of gouache, to convey the unique atmosphere of evening twilight and foggy pre-dawn landscapes.


Basically, gouache is an opaque watercolor. Gouache is a universal artistic material that allows you, with paint, water and paper, to master artistic techniques inherent in other materials. You can paint with highly diluted gouache using the watercolor technique, or you can master the writing techniques inherent in noble oil. Painting with gouache is comfortable, it does not have an unpleasant odor, does not require working with solvents, allows you to easily make changes to the drawing and does not require any special surface for painting (canvases, primers). That is why it is very popular in children's art and is widely used by beginning artists. Each of us painted gouache; it is suitable for both beginners and professionals.
Many people consider gouache not convenient for drawing. If you have previously painted primarily with watercolors, then you only need to remember a few rules to get the same wonderful results when working with gouache.
Gouache paint is not transparent and contains white. This means that you need to write from dark to light, and not vice versa. That is, having decided on the composition and color scheme, you need to start with darker paint tones, and highlights and dark color accents are placed at the end of the work.



In order not to get confused about the possibility of mixing colors and shades, and also not to mess up with the color for shadows, it is better to have an idea of ​​​​the color wheel that artists use. Colors lying in adjacent sectors of the circle mix with each other without the formation of dirt, and for shadows it is better to take a color from the opposite sector. This color is added in the required quantity to the main tone. More often, to depict shadows, they take: blue, green or purple. Under no circumstances should you add black color to the shadow image. You also cannot use black to obtain a darker tone of the same color; you will not darken the tone, but you will get dirt.


Among other things, you should know that gouache dries quite quickly. If you make a mistake, you cannot correct it until the gouache has dried. If you break this rule, you will end up with a smeared, dirty stain. You need to make changes and corrections to the drawing until the gouache layer has completely dried. Typically, drying time depends on the thickness of the gouache layer, it varies from 30 minutes to 3 hours. Once the gouache has dried, it is very easy to make changes. You just need to moisten the brush in warm, pigment-free water, lightly wring it out with a dry cloth and lightly wipe off the paint where the mistake was made. In the same way, you can shade an overly clear outline of a drawn object.
When mixing colors, you need to take into account that wet gouache is brighter. When it dries, it becomes white due to the presence of chalk in it. Therefore, you should always choose colors that are more saturated than those that you want to see in the final work.


Choosing the right brush will also help ease your familiarity with this art material. Since gouache is heavier and more viscous, overly soft brushes are not suitable for it, so it is better to put the light squirrel aside. The following materials are good for wet gouache: kolinsky, goat and synthetics. These brushes are great for shading, backgrounds and fills, that is, for working with a wet brush.

There are painting techniques that are suitable for working with a dry brush. How to draw gouache images of tree crowns, grass backgrounds, objects with an uneven or textured surface? In this case, it is better to use bristle brushes. The shape of the brushes will depend on the shape of the strokes. It is better to depict grass with flat brushes, and the crown of trees with round brushes. In this case, apply gouache diluted to the thickness of sour cream onto a dry pork bristle brush and make point blows with the brush on the working surface of the painting. This can be compared to pushing paint onto a work surface.


There are two ways to create a background for gouache:
Uniformly filling in the contours of a pencil sketch. First, the artist makes a pencil sketch on the artistic surface, and then spreads the primary colors as fills in the contours of the drawing. It is important to remember here that for the initial underpainting, the darkest tones of the drawing elements are taken. In order for the gouache to lay smoothly and without streaks, you need to pay attention to the size of the brush. The larger the contour being painted, the larger the brush should be. Gouache, in this case, should be diluted to the consistency of thin sour cream. You shouldn’t put too much pigment on your brush either; it’s better to wipe off the excess on the edge of the palette. You need to fill the contour without pressure, from one edge to the center, and then from the center to the other edge of the contour. This type of underpainting is not suitable for large surfaces.



For large surfaces, another type of painting is chosen - filling. In this case, first the background of the drawing is made, and then, on the dried background, the work itself is written. The background can consist of two or three primary colors in the gamut of the pattern. For example, when painting a landscape, they take: the color of the sky, the color of the earth, the color for the light stripe above the horizon. The sheet of paper is well attached to the tablet; it is better to glue all the edges with masking tape. Then the colors are distributed: the color of the sky at the top, the color of the earth below, the lightest in the horizon area. And then, until the paint has dried, smooth the paint using a wide, damp brush. The brush must be drawn without interruption, from one left edge of the sheet to the right, moving from the bottom of the work to the top. Then we wet the brush in water, shake off the excess, and smooth the paint from the top of the sheet to the bottom, moving the brush horizontally. In order for the background to be smooth and beautiful, training is needed. However, the result is worth the effort. When the background is smoothed out and the paint has not yet dried, the details of the hills are spread out with the darker paint chosen for the ground. After the main background and the formed landscape details have dried, vegetation, clouds and other details of the intended composition are painted.


Gouache painting is unique and requires special skills to obtain masterpieces. The main property of working with gouache is highlighting: until the paint has dried, the color is rich and easy to play with shades, but as soon as it has dried, many colors cannot be distinguished from each other. A clear intuitive understanding of the final result comes only with experience. And here it might be a good tip to not use white at all until the final layer. Another problem is that the layers can be easily mixed together, which forces you to act quickly and accurately; if you start waving your brush, you mix two layers and you get mud. But in any case, painting has its own charm, which is manifested in the competent use of whitishness and brush strokes.


In artistic and design works, gouache is one of the favorites. There are large jars of different colors designed for large-scale design work. Quick creation of decorations, banners and wall newspapers is all about gouache. A minor problem may be the low strength of the ink film, and as a result, the finished image will crumble and get dirty. But this can easily be solved by mixing a small amount of glue into the paint and securing the paint with an additional layer of varnish.


Gouache is very often used in painting on wood, birch bark and clay. Here it is important to pay attention to the quality of the paints, since painting is a rather fine work in one stroke and does not allow for corrections. Gouache dries quickly, which is a key aspect for quick decoration of products and ease of layering.


Materials and tools:
- sheet A3
-simple pencil, eraser
-gouache, brushes
-palette
-water jar
-cloth for brushes

Progress of the master class:

When starting to work on any drawing, you need to remember the main rules of composition. You should try to draw in the middle, so that everything you have planned fits on the entire piece of paper, so that there is very little empty space left on the top, bottom and sides. So that the drawing does not turn out too large or too small compared to the sheet. To do this, we will use auxiliary “helper” lines, draw diagonal lines on the sheet and thereby find its middle. When drawing with a simple pencil, you need to remember that the lines should be light, barely noticeable.


Then we will draw frame lines inside the work, it will become the border of the drawing. Let's draw a circle in the center; this will be the central flower of our composition.


On the diagonal lines up to the frame we will draw leaves, then we will erase the “auxiliaries”.


Next, we draw more circles around the central circle, creating a future bouquet.


Let's start working with gouache. Select the lightest shade of green gouache and draw circles of flowers with a thin brush.


First we outline the outline, then we make strokes towards the edges of the work, as if the blades of grass are looking in different directions.


Change the paint to a dark green color and continue applying strokes in the same direction around the flowers.



Next we work with the palette, we will mix green and yellow paint to get a light green color.


Using the resulting color, also in small strokes (like blades of grass), we paint over the entire remaining surface of the work.

Hello everyone from Tatyana Sukhikh! I hope you are in a good mood and have a great desire to learn something new? The topic of my thoughts today is gouache painting with preschool children. It would seem that what is so difficult about this issue? However, there are nuances and secrets that I, of course, will reveal to you.

As I already said in my previous articles on creative activities, it is important to arouse a child’s initial, sustained interest in the visual arts. This is easier to do if you prepare beautiful and high-quality materials, create an appropriate environment and design your workplace.

Where to go in search of drawing supplies? Nowhere, of course, we’re just looking for good online stores.

For the first acquaintance with gouache, a child will need actually gouache. It’s better to buy a set in a beautiful box with cartoon characters to attract the baby’s attention, for example, “Pep Pig.” There are 12 colors here, the gouache is of good quality, has no pronounced odor, and is easily washed off your hands and work surface. Not a bad start!

And here is the cartoon heroine herself with her family, she is learning to draw. I don’t really like this cartoon, but our children in kindergarten love it very much and often bring toys from this cartoon.

By the way, you can use my tips on how to teach a child to paint with gouache, or you can find simple manuals in which everything is described step by step for beginning painters.

Next we need brushes. For kids, one brush is enough, but God willing, he has ten years of creative impulses ahead of him, so it’s better to take a high-quality set of brushes for different purposes.

Yes, on "Ali Express" there is a good offer - set of 10 brushes at an extremely attractive price. Beautiful blue handles and brushes made of flexible thin nylon are ideal for little artists and even adult painters. Here are brushes for working with watercolor, gouache, oil, and acrylic paints.

Another variant - 12 brushes for professionals and beginner artists. The set includes a very fine brush as well as a fan brush. Also an excellent set of brushes made of high quality nylon.

In general, everything you need for drawing and more can be bought at "Ozone" or "UchMage", the choice here is so wide that you can “equip” the entire kindergarten with creativity supplies! This store has products for beginning artists as well as professionals.

Gouache painting: where to start?

Children love to paint with gouache because it is easy and beautiful. In kindergarten, we devote a lot of time to working with gouache so that in the preparatory group the children have already grown up to depict landscapes and illustrations for fairy tales, and can also fantasize on paper on a free topic.

Gouache painting lessons begin with introducing children to this material.

By the way, why is it better to start with gouache rather than watercolor?

The fact is that gouache is convenient for small children. You don’t need to soak it with water like watercolor, just dip your brush and paint right away. It gives a rich color that is perfectly visible even on colored paper. In addition, gouache dries quickly. And you can use it to paint on top of another color, that is, to overlap a color with a color, but they do not mix, as when painting with watercolors.

Gouache mixed with glue or gelatin solution can be used to paint on fabric, it can be used to paint clay products, and this paint has many advantages...


Usually the first lesson is the children trying to dip a brush into a jar of gouache (we give only one color so as not to distract the children) and apply the first stroke to a sheet of paper.

You know, scribbles are not bad, but if you don’t purposefully teach the simplest drawing techniques, then the child will simply stain the paper...

Most often, we invite children to draw snow in white on a blue sheet of paper. We just put specks or blots with a brush, whatever works. The main thing is to introduce kids to paint and brushes.

At home, you can start with finger gouache and try to depict snow or just fingerprints and palm prints.

We need to achieve one thing - to arouse interest in drawing. Training takes place in stages and gradually. At first, it makes sense to invite the child to continue the adult’s drawing, for example, to finish drawing a cat’s tail, a thread for a balloon, leaves on a branch, etc. with gouache.

When the children become familiar with the unfamiliar material, we give a new task - to draw a pattern of lines on a jug or dress (cut out of colored or plain white paper). A child of two or three years old can easily master drawing straight, wavy and broken lines.


Along the way, children remember the names of colors, learn to hold a brush correctly, and gain skills in organizing their workspace.


Some organizational issues

It is important that the drawing technique is simple; you should not set impossible tasks for a small child of the younger group. If the baby cannot cope with the task, he will refuse to draw altogether...

It is worth paying attention to the fact that from the very beginning of training it is necessary for the child to do everything correctly. Watch how he holds the brush, whether he rinses it after using each color, and whether he has contaminated jars of gouache with a different color. Train him to work carefully. Be sure to buy sippy cup- this is a container that is closed with a lid and even when tipped over, the water will not immediately splash out.


We, as I already wrote, conduct training lessons in stages, take our time and don’t get excited. After the stage of drawing lines, children master drawing a circle. We draw a snowman from three circles, a sun from a circle and repeating lines, a spruce branch with New Year's multi-colored balls.

The child cannot understand how to draw a circle, I move his hand with a brush over a sheet of paper. Every student needs to learn a new skill.

Over time, children choose the color themselves - green for the Christmas tree, yellow for the sun, etc. Next, preschoolers master the depiction of various geometric shapes in order to draw a house, a flag, or a rug with a pattern.

Starting to draw figures of people and animals, the child reaches a higher level and applies the skills that he acquired earlier.


In short, already in the preparatory group, children should master brushes and gouache. For beginning artists, which they may become, it is important to be able to convey the shape and color of objects, correctly position them on a sheet of paper, and competently plan the composition of the drawing. Future schoolchildren know different drawing techniques, can independently mix colors on a palette, rinse a brush, and clean their workspace. They can draw from life and according to their own ideas. Older preschoolers make a sketch (sketch) of the future drawing and can correct it with an eraser.

If you have any questions, please ask. I understand that I may not have told you everything about learning to paint with gouache.

Tatyana Sukhikh was with you, bye everyone and see you again!
