The horse in Gorodets painting is a symbol of wealth.

Have you heard the word “horseless”? When it is used even in our time, they mean the extreme poverty of the person about whom they say “horseless.”

In the old days, those peasants who did not have a horse were the poorest people in the village: they could neither plow the land in the field, nor bring hay to the cow, nor go to the market to sell something from their harvest, nor deliver a doctor to the sick...

In a word, it was bad on a farm without a horse. And the horse was so significant in the life of the villagers that in peasant painting it became a symbol of wealth.

The Gorodets horse is only black. This is also a tradition. And it comes from that distant time, when Gorodets spinning wheels were decorated not with painting, but with carvings. Then the horse, carved from black (stained) oak, crashed flush into the light bottom of the Gorodets spinning wheel. This work was hard, since oak is a very hard tree. Therefore, over time, the craftsmen who made spinning wheels began to simply paint over the horse on the spinning wheel with black paint, thereby imitating their work as inlaid with bog oak. It was cheaper. The spinning wheels were made for sale. And then they began to tint other parts of the spinning wheel and gradually the expensive carving was replaced by coloring (painting).

Since then, the horse in Gorodets painting has always been black. The Gorodets horse, like the bird, is distinctive in shape and color. The whole horse is black with white trims, the saddle and harness are red. The horse has a flexible neck and chest (and, mind you, exactly the same as a bird!), a rounded croup, a bushy tail and very thin legs. Moreover, they are thin only below the knees. One hind leg is hooked under the stomach, and one front leg is bent sharply at the knee in front of the chest.

Gorodets masters the horse is painted in two stages: underpainting and revivals. First, you need to draw the outline of the horse, then paint the saddle and harness with red paint, then paint the horse with black, and then use white paint to make animations using dots, strokes, and droplets.

A droplet on a horse This is done like this: with the tip of an artistic brush, which must be held vertically, quickly draw a thin elastic line and at the end of it, slightly tilting the brush, apply a drop. They make a drop of animation on the chest and croup of the horse, and from such animation the horse becomes shiny and smooth; “full”, as the peasants say. And this did not mean that the horse had eaten well, but that he was in good shape, round and thin at the same time, beautiful and well-groomed. There are two types of Gorodets horses, they differ only in their manes, in everything else they are always the same, except for small insignificant details.

Sequence of the image of the Gorodets horse

The sequence of painting the Gorodets black horse

The horse is the embodiment of the beauty of Gorodets painting and the unmistakable precision of the master’s hand. No matter what kind of hobby the city dweller painted, the basis was always virtuoso brush work without preliminary drawing.

The ability to truly paint a horse is a kind of exam for the title of professional Gorodets master. They'll never admit it local artist a craftsman who is trying to depict a horse using a stencil. Anyone who has seen how the Gorodets horse is traditionally written remembers this extraordinary action for a long time. The master of the old Gorodets craft, A.E., was proud of this skill. Konovalov showed these techniques only to the best. Konovalov’s system of techniques (techniques of outlining a horse in silhouette and then filling the outline with color) is more consistent with the style of brush painting that developed in Gorodets. He reveals it in his drawings A.V. Sokolova.

With a brush saturated with black paint, a stroke is painted, similar to that used to paint the neck and chest of a bird. To this stroke is added another one, which together with the first forms a curved teardrop-shaped shape, in which the curved neck and crown of the horse can already be discerned.

The outline of the saddle is assigned to the front part of the horse's body.

The horse's croup is written from the back line of the saddle.

A small rounded oblong head is attributed to the curved neck.

Sharp triangular ears are attached to the horse's head.

The upper parts of the legs are added to the body, while the front part is traditionally written raised.

TO upper parts Nogo is attributed to their lower parts from the knee to the hoof. At the same time, the Gorodets artist never strives for anatomical correctness, creating a generalized, but at the same time quite convincing image.

The horse's hooves are carefully crafted, sometimes looking like black pointed leaves.

The next stage of work is the image of the tail. A lush flowing tail is done loose smooth movements brushes

After finishing work on the horse’s silhouette, paint the saddle with a bright, elegant color, and write on the bridle.

The final stage of work, as always in Gorodets, is bleaching. The horse's round eye is painted with whitewash, its mane is marked with parallel thin strokes, its tail is decorated, and its hooves are shaded with small strokes. The more the artist loves his horse, the more elegantly and elegantly he decorates its harness.

Gorodets horse

While preserving traditional brushwork techniques for painting a horse, modern artists have introduced great variety into its color scheme. These are not only black horses, but also white, brown and horses of various colors, which fit well into the overall joyful structure of the painting.

Products with Gorodets painting. Horses.

Kryukov's workshop. Mochesnik. Late XIX- beginning of the 20th century SPGIKHMZ. The small family workshop of the Kryukovs, hereditary Gorodets craftsmen, specialized in the production of mochesniks with simple paintings depicting couples, horses, birds, flowers. The painting of the mochesniks depicted on these pages differs only in small details.

LESSON No. 1. Acquaintance with the traditional motif of Gorodets painting - “horse”.

Organization of the lesson. You should consider with your children plots in which there is an image of a horse. The majesty and grace of the horse are expressed in the smoothness and rhythm of the form, in which beauty and strength are organically balanced. Children examine and remember the sequence of painting. There are several ways to draw. The Gorodets horse is usually painted with black paint. First, an image is drawn that looks like a large drop - this is the chest and neck, then an image of a smaller inverted drop is drawn - this is the croup and hind leg of the Gorodets horse. After this, the legs, head are added and, at the final stage of working on the outline, the mane and tail are drawn. After this, they begin to revive, which consists of drawing the harness and saddle. If the horse is without a rider, then the bridle is depicted tied to the raised front leg, and the harness on the chest is made in the shape of a flower.

Completing the task. Children independently complete the symmetrical composition by inscribing the Gorodets horse into right side panel

Bibliography

Gorodets painting is one of the traditional Russian folk crafts. It is difficult to confuse this wonderful painting with another. The colors of Gorodets painting are bright, rich, cheerful - and everything about it is symbolic. Black horses with steep necks and thin legs are a symbol of wealth, unprecedented birds are a symbol of happiness, and flowers are a symbol of health and success in business. Let's try to draw the simplest pattern - flowers and buds. Here it is.

For this we will need: brushes of different sizes, gouache or acrylic paints.

Using a wide brush, we tint the circle to resemble a “tree.”

Mix white gouache with red and blue, we get shades of pink and blue. Hold the brush vertically. We draw circles, the so-called “underpaintings”

Using blue and red gouache we draw smaller “underpaintings”, slightly extending onto the main circle.

We decorate our rose with petals and draw arcs on the buds.

Now let's start depicting the leaves and twigs. Applying a brush, we make symmetrical imprints of leaves.

And finally, the most important thing. Our pattern needs to be revived. We take the thinnest brush and, with a light touch, apply “revivals” with white paint in the form of dots, arcs, droplets, and strokes. Do not overdo it. The main thing here is to comply

knowing of limits.

As you can see, nothing complicated. Good luck everyone!

Master class “Gorodets painting”

For seniors to know preschoolers with Gorodets painting, I painted a wooden board myself (my eldest son helped me in cutting out the board, which I used and will use in the future as visual material in training preschoolers painted by Gorodets masters.

For work we will need:

1. Wooden or plywood board of the sizes you want.

2. Tempera or gouache paints, PVA glue (add to gouache)

After mixing with PVA, gouache becomes more durable, fits well on canvas or other surface, does not crumble, and also holds volume. And all this - for many years

3. Large flat brush, round brushes No. 2, 1, .

4. Water, napkins, palette.

Here are the stages of my Gorodets wood painting master class:

Step 1. We place various cutting boards or any other flat products on a sheet of thick plywood, outline them with a pencil and cut out wooden blanks with a jigsaw. Our workpiece turned out to be in the shape of an apple.

Step 2. Sanding sandpaper sawn blanks.

Step 3. Cover the product with plain paint

Step 4. We make sketches of Gorodets painting on sheets of paper - future templates.

We transfer our painting templates onto wooden products using tracing paper.

I copied without tracing paper. Whichever is convenient for you.

Step 5. Outline gouache paint wooden product for office

Gorodets painting can be easily divided into three stages, since each of them has its own brushes and paints, and a break is also necessary after each, since the previous layer of paint must dry well.

And so we paint the Gorodets painting templates in stages: first, we highlight the dark-colored elements.

Step 6. Draw a bird.

After surface preparation products for painting, if a colored background is not intended. The main elements and colors of the future ornament are applied. This stage is called painting or underpainting; in different sources, the names of the stages of Gorodets painting may differ.

So, for example, the second stage can also be called shading, shading, or painting. The point is that a contrasting pattern is most often applied to color spots dark paint shading on a light background.

And the last stage: Receiving animation using white color

The third stage is livening or reviving. When highlights are added to the ornament and small parts more often white, as if bringing the drawing to life.

second stage shading

And the third stage of revival

Step 8. Draw the leaves and stems in green.

Step 9 Let it dry completely.

Step 10. We cover our products with colorless varnish. (I used parquet varnish, it takes a long time to dry, but it gives the product an unusual gloss.)

This is the kind of CITY BEAUTY I got! I wish the same for you!

GORODETSKAYA PAINTING

Technology for making Gorodets products

Scenes of tea drinking, troika riding, and festive festivities are traditional for Gorodets painting. A lush ornament of flowers, roses, and leaves frames story pictures, arranged in tiers. The old masters painted fantastic flowers, the likes of which you cannot find in nature, but this is only at first glance. If you look closely, you can recognize flowers, daisies, berries, and in the middle of the fabulous bouquet - a lush rose. The center of the rose coincides with the center of the rosette of petals. In kupavka, the center of the flower is shifted to the left or right. A beautiful Gorodets thin-legged horse with a strong neck is a poetic image-mystery. Proud horses are painted on cabinet doors, the backs of children's chairs, tables, and plates on the wall. The horses are surrounded by fabulous flowers, and sometimes strange birds and animals are depicted here. It seems that horses are galloping through magical gardens.

Gorodets masters paint both on a colored background and on unpainted wood. Most often they use the beautiful texture of pine. The palette of Gorodets painting is colorful and varied. Gold, green, yellow, blue, blue, brown, pink and red colors are combined with black and white. However, each master has his own favorite color palette. The elegant “revival” done with white paint gives Gorodets painting a special expressiveness. Strokes, lines, dots, arcs decorate flowers and figures.

The order of painting:

A) Painting is done directly on a wooden base or the base is primed with yellow, red, black colors.

B) On the cutting board or surface of another object chosen for painting, the composition of the future pattern is outlined with thin lines in pencil. The main thing is to outline the location and size of the main, brightest spots - for example, flowers. These are the nodes of the composition. Middle details - unopened buds - tie large parts between

by yourself; small ones - twigs, leaves - complement the theme.

C) At the nodes of the composition, as a rule, spots of a regular round shape are applied with a wide brush - the base of the flower.

D) Thin strokes are applied over the light spots with a second, darker color of the same shade, for example, blue over blue - a stroke. The outline of the stroke is a drawing one, depicting the contours of the petals of a flower. At the same stage, leaves are depicted between the large elements, the shape of which is obtained with two or three brush strokes.

The entire painting consists of elements: circles - underpaintings, brackets, drops, dots, arcs, spirals, strokes.

D) The final stage painting - applying strokes and dots with black and white paint. This technique is called “revival” and gives the work a finished look. Performed by myself with a thin brush.

E) After the tempera has dried, the product can be coated with colorless varnish.

Painting techniques.

The process of Gorodets painting is divided into several stages: painting colored backgrounds, applying the main parts of the design using gunpowder, applying underpainting of the main color spots with a large brush, applying shades with small brushes or modeling shapes with shading and, finally, reviving the motifs with whitewash or other color tones. The painting is completed by graphic elements in the form of frames and lines that limit the composition.

A careful study of the sequence of paint application when performing the most common motifs, such as a horse and a bird, will allow you to paint them yourself. But before you start painting complex images, you learn to paint simple motifs. By changing individual elements in them, you can achieve a wide variety of shapes. For example, by simulating a circle using different techniques, numerous variants of the main Gorodets flower are obtained - a fantastic rose-bush, buds.

Flowers - a sight for sore eyes

To everyone's surprise.

Beautiful boards? Look how the patterns are arranged differently on them. Here there is a branch from the corner up and down, and here the center of the board and the top and bottom are decorated.

There are decorations everywhere. And here I have another surprise for you - individual parts of the pattern - puzzles. They will help us create a beautiful pattern.

Do you know what elements the masters of Gorodets painting use? (Children find them among the puzzles and call them leaves, roses, buds).

And here are the boards for you. I have already prepared them: I cleaned them with sandpaper and soaked them in starch glue. Want to decorate?

And for whom will we make such beauty? (as a gift for mom and dad for New Year)

To make the pattern as beautiful as possible, I suggest laying out the puzzle patterns on the boards first. Remember how to position it: you can shoot a twig up and to the side from a corner; you can decorate the center and top and bottom; maybe in the form of a pyramid. (Children place the elements of the pattern on the board)

Now you need to outline them with a pencil and you can get to work.

Remind me which color combinations most successful? (pink brown, beige, green, blue)

(During work, the teacher reminds that first the shading is done, and then the shading is done with white gouache. Helps the children, encourages them, reminds them of the position of the hand when drawing).

(The teacher varnishes the boards in the absence of children)

Goal: Continue to get acquainted with Gorodets painting. Teach, with the help of an adult, to select a pattern on different forms: salt shaker, balalaika, hanger board.

Learn independently, choose the form and compositional solution pattern. Develop artistic taste.

PROGRESS OF THE CLASS

Educator: “Hello, I’m a tour guide. Have you booked an excursion to the city of Gorodets? I invite you to the tourist bus.

So, we arrived in the ancient city of Gorodets and look at how the platbands on the windows of this old street are painted (photo). Do you know how patterns ended up on windows, then on dishes and toys?

In ancient times, wooden ships - rooks - were built in Gorodets and painted with cheerful, bright patterns. Then the wooden ships were replaced by iron ones and the craftsmen who painted the boats were left idle.

They went to the villages and offered their skills, began to paint platbands, gates, rocking toys for children, spinning wheels for girls. And the beauty of Gorodets went for a walk around the world. They founded a Gorodets painting factory.

Here we are approaching it (photo).

How many masters are there! Everyone sits at long tables, in front of them there are preparations - “linen” (photo). Let's imagine that we are also masters of this factory. Choose the item you want to paint.

To make the pattern beautiful, I suggest first taking puzzles, making a pattern out of them, then tracing it and coloring it. The craftsmen of the Gorodets factory apply the pattern immediately, without a pencil sketch. Those of you who are confident in yourself and can complete the painting without a pencil sketch can begin immediately.”

(The teacher individually helps the children choose a compositional solution and color.)

At the end of the lesson, the children go home on the bus and take the crafts as souvenirs.

Artistic word for activities and games to get acquainted with the Gorodets craft

Here is a fancy rocking horse

And the rose is here, and the kupavka.

Horses gallop across the world

There are no more elegant and beautiful ones!

From the people, thanks to the cheerful horses

From cheerful horses to the people - a fairy tale.

And from master craftsmen -

So that the tow does not split, curls

So that the threads stretch and do not break,

"Magic patterns". Gorodets painting

Teacher: Look carefully at these flowers and tell me: what are the similarities between them?

Student: Round shape. Petals with arches. White animation.

Teacher: What is their difference?

Student: In the kupavka the center of the flower is shifted, but in the rose it is in the middle.

There are three types of composition in Gorodets painting

1. Flower painting.

Student: Flower painting.

This type is most often used and is the easiest to perform. In a less complex version, the work may depict a single flower with leaves radiating from it. In floral patterns, the following most common types of patterns can be distinguished:

• "Bouquet" - depicted symmetrically. Usually written on cutting boards or dishes.
• "Garland" is a type of "bouquet" when one or two large flower are located in the center, more spread out from them to the sides small flowers with leaves.

2. Floral painting with the inclusion of the “horse” and “bird” motif;

Student: Just like in flower painting, in products with images of a horse and a bird, the motifs can be symmetrical. They are located on the sides of a flowering tree or inside a flower garland.

Sometimes, among a symmetrically written floral pattern, there are two birds, sometimes of different colors. The images “rooster” and “horse” are symbols of the sun, wishes for happiness. The images of a “rooster” and “hen” symbolize family well-being and a wish for the family to have many children.

3. Subject painting

Student: Performed on large items: panels, chests and large boxes, cutting boards and dishes. Painting in two or three tiers (in the upper part the main plot is written with a feast, date, walk, departure, etc., in the lower part the plots help to reveal this topic). The middle part separating the tiers is presented in the form of a floral stripe. Another option is also possible: the main plot is depicted, surrounded by a floral stripe.

People's faces are always turned towards the viewer. It is very rare to find images rotated in three quarters.

They raised their hands up and shook them - these are trees in the forest. Arms bent, hands shaken - the wind knocks down the dew. We wave our hands to the sides - the birds are flying towards us. We’ll also show where they sit. Hands clasped back,

Basic techniques of Gorodets painting

The first and most important thing is to learn how to hold the brush correctly. The brush must be held perpendicular to the surface to be painted. The elbow is fixed, and the hand is completely free.

You can lean lightly on your little finger, which barely touches the surface.

Gorodets painting is performed without preliminary pencil drawing.

To make an arc beautiful shape, you need to start painting with the tip of the brush, lightly touching the surface. Towards the middle of the arc, we gradually increase the pressure and finish drawing again without pressure.

Gorodets painting is performed in a certain sequence:

• Underpainting (flake or squirrel No. 3 or No. 4) - making a colored spot.
• Shade (brush No. 2) – application of brackets, i.e. detailed development of the ornament.
• Reviving (brush No. 1) - drawing numerous details (as usual, this is done with whitewash).

To master Gorodets painting you need to paint flowers.

The main varieties of Gorodets flowers: buds, kupavka, rosan, chamomile, rose.

Gorodets leaves various in shape, size and color. Leaves are depicted in two stages: underpainting and animation. If Gorodets green paint is used for underpainting, then the revival is done with black paint.

If you take Gorodets dark green paint, then add white to the black color.

Gorodets birds magic garden : rooster, peacock, dove, swan, cuckoo. The writing of birds begins with the head and ends with the tail. First, the curve of the neck and chest is depicted using a smooth line. Then a line is drawn defining the shape of the head and back.

They finish by defining the line of the wing, making a thread-like beak and legs. Most often, the body of the bird is painted black. The revivals are done with whitewash.

Gorodets horse.

There are several ways to draw a horse.

The underpainting is usually done in black. First, they draw the chest and neck in the form of a large black drop, then they draw an image of a smaller inverted drop - this is the croup and hind leg of the Gorodets horse. Then the legs, head, mane and tail are added.

After this, they begin to revive, which consists of drawing the harness and saddle. If the horse is without a rider, then the bridle is depicted tied to the raised front leg, and the harness on the chest is made in the shape of a flower.

Basics of composition in Gorodets painting.

Studying composition takes place in 3 stages:

• Studying compositional techniques
• We develop a sketch
• We make a sketch in full size.

In the center of the composition is the main image: a bird, a horse, a person, a group of people or a plant motif. By the end of the 19th century, a characteristic form had developed floral ornament. The main elements are buds, roses, and flowers, which are endlessly repeated in different versions.

There are traditional patterns for arranging a pattern in a rectangular shape: with one large flower and several small ones (scheme 1, 2, 3); with two large (scheme 4) and three large flowers (scheme 5 and 6) in combination with a different number of small flowers. After determining the location and type of ornament, you need to find a color solution.

The sequence of work on the composition is shown using the example of making a garland: first, the largest flower is drawn, then smaller flowers, then leaves, and at the end the shading and revitalization of the entire composition is done. The development of the product composition ends with the design of the frame.

Drawing Gorodets painting

Drawing and painting

Gorodets painting is known throughout the world as a great achievement folk art Russia. In many drawing schools and compulsorily in all schools and specialized colleges fine arts learn this amazing and colorful drawing technique.

Drawing Gorodets painting from all other directions with its bright, unusual image of black horses, birds with incredible tails, in which such magical images as firebirds can be seen. Animals are depicted in profile, but people, on the contrary, are depicted only in full face. And all these exciting characters are surrounded by lovely flowers and their garlands.

Drawing Gorodets painting

All Gorodets painting is symbolic. For example, a horse in it appears as a symbol of wealth, a bird means happiness, and flowers - as an image of health and prosperity in all undertakings.

Artists mainly chose such subjects as riders on brave horses, colorful weddings and feasts, family and quiet tea parties and many other scenes of celebration from ordinary life of people. But because the artists were ordinary peasants, a unique style was created, in which strict and elegant urban features were mixed with peasant innocence and sincerity. common people those times. Now, Gorodets painting is adapted for both preschoolers and adults.

What's worth buying

Initially, in the world, Gorodets painting was like the art of depicting on wood, but in our time, technology has improved, and therefore it is now possible to paint in this style on plain paper. Even in schools, Gorodets painting lessons are actively taught, introducing the history and technique of Gorodets masters.

You will need:

1. Paper or board. The first is good for beginners and children, the second is for painting household items - a plate, board and other natural wooden blanks.
2. Dye. Masters prefer oil paints, but gouache is also suitable for beginners. A regular set of 12 will do.
3. Brushes. Like any artist requires different sizes. Better with natural bristles. Three brushes are suitable for Gorodets painting: flute, “squirrel” and core.
4. Varnish. If the design is applied on top of wood, it must be secured with a special protective layer.

Where to start drawing

To fully integrate into this type of art, it is important not only to simply desire to draw and prepare all the materials, but also to study the drawing technique. After all, writing “in Gorodets” is almost worth a separate article: how to hold the brush, how to move the brush, what movements to use in certain details.

All Gorodets painting is done in two stages. But before we start with them, a photo is applied to the surface, which is also a primer.

Stage 1 – “underpainting”. This is a kind of application of large color spots. It all looks so easy that even a five-year-old child can do it.

After all, the whole point is to first apply the paint in a thin, even layer so that there are no gaps or sagging anywhere. At this stage, use flat and wide brushes - flutes. Suitable for painting all large shapes of the product.

Stage 2 – “revivals”. This is a technique when a drawing using black and white paint is combined into one whole. At this stage, artistic brushes are used. This stage is very difficult and will require a lot of effort and concentration from the artist.

The whole point of reviving is to apply many small dots of white or black paint over the underpaintings. The main thing is not to overdo it and predict the number of revivals, because otherwise you can ruin the work of art.

Many of us learned in drawing lessons about the existence of this naive, but so sunny and kind - Gorodets painting. Young ladies walk on painted boards, thin-legged horses gallop, unprecedented flowers grow... I would like you to find it interesting to read this lesson, at least that’s what I strived for (from the author)

PREFACE Gorodets is a city in the Nizhny Novgorod Trans-Volga region, on the left bank of the Volga. It is one of the oldest Russian fortified cities. Gorodets is the birthplace of a wide variety of crafts.

It was famous for its wood carving (“blind” house carving), the production of spinning wheels inlaid with bog oak (the plank on which the spinner sits), Gorodets painting, and carved gingerbread boards. The dominant color of Gorodets paintings is either bright yellow chrome or cinnabar.

They are usually the dominant color, the background of the entire painting as a whole; blue, green and sometimes “whitened” tones (pink, blue) are used to write patterns, black and white - to work out details. Gorodets painting as such appeared around the middle of the 19th century, when a transition took place from inlaying the bottom (the wide part of the spinning wheel that served as a seat) to their painting. At the same time, the tradition arose of signing proverbs and sayings on works (which is also typical for popular prints) or indicating their authorship.

TECHNIQUES OF CITY PAINTING Materials: Tempera. You can use gouache with the addition of PVA glue. Each primary color is made up of two shades: one bleached, the other more saturated.

The procedure for painting: A) Painting is done directly on a wooden base or the base is primed with yellow, red, black colors. B) On the cutting board or surface of another object chosen for painting, the composition of the future pattern is outlined with thin lines in pencil.

The main thing is to outline the location and size of the main, brightest spots - for example, flowers. These are the nodes of the composition. The middle parts - unopened buds - connect the large parts with each other; small ones - twigs, leaves - complement the theme and have little effect on the overall composition.

C) At the nodes of the composition, as a rule, spots of a regular round shape are applied with a wide brush - the base of the flower. D) Thin strokes are applied over the light spots with a second, darker color of the same shade, for example, blue on blue - a stroke.

The outline of the stroke is a drawing one, depicting the contours of the petals of a flower. At the same stage, leaves are depicted between the large elements, the shape of which is obtained with two or three brush strokes.

The entire painting consists of elements: underpainting circles, brackets, drops, dots, arcs, spirals, strokes. E) The final stage of painting is applying strokes and dots with black and white paint. This technique is called “revival” and gives the work a finished look.

Done with the thinnest brush. E) After the tempera has dried, the product can be coated with colorless varnish.

MOTIVES OF GORODETS PAINTING.

flowers - roses, roses with symmetrical leaves:

animals - horse, bird.

“The Tree of Life” is a traditional plot that personifies nature. On both sides of the “tree”, horses or birds can be depicted.

Horsemen, carriages, ladies, soldiers, gentlemen, dogs are traditional for the Gorodets story painting. COMPOSITION There are three types of composition in Gorodets painting: flower painting; flower painting with the inclusion of the “horse” and “bird” motif; subject painting.

This division is conditional, since plot painting is not complete without floral motifs; it is varied in construction schemes. And even if products with Gorodets painting are made on the basis of the same composition, but in different color scheme, you may not immediately notice the similarity.

So, Flower painting This type is most often used, it is the easiest to perform. In a less complex version, the work may depict a single flower with leaves radiating from it.

In a more complex version, for example, a stripe of floral patterns is often depicted on the side walls, and the lid is decorated with flowers inscribed in a circle. On the lids of bread boxes, flowers are usually arranged in a rectangle or diamond shape.

In floral patterns, the following most common types of patterns can be distinguished: “Bouquet” - depicted symmetrically. Usually written on cutting boards or dishes. “Garland” is a type of “bouquet” when one or two large flowers are located in the center, with smaller flowers with leaves spreading out from them. They can fit into a circle, a stripe, or be positioned in a crescent shape (on corner screens). This type compositions of floral patterns are most often used when painting cutting boards, bread bins, boxes, dishes, and children's furniture.

“Rhombus” is one of the variants of the “garland”, when one or more flowers are written in the center, forming the center, and buds and leaves, gradually decreasing towards the tops of the diamond, are located along its imaginary edges. This floral arrangement can most often be seen on rectangular cutting boards, chests, benches, cabinet doors, and bread bins.

“Flower stripe” has been preserved in the Gorodets craft since painted spinning wheels, where it separated the upper and lower tiers. Depending on what product it is written on, it can represent a repeating ribbon composition of flowers of the same size, separated by pairs of leaves, or the same composition in which alternate: flowers of the same size, but different in design; flowers of the same size, but different in color; flowers, different in design, color and size.

Such ornamental stripes are usually used when painting three-dimensional items, such as round boxes. A narrow ornamental strip encircles story compositions. The wider strip is the middle tier in a three-tier composition.

“Wreath” - resembles a “flower strip”, but only closed along the edge of a dish or box lid. Floral arrangements are usually symmetrical in the arrangement of motifs and color distribution.

Floral arrangement including the “horse” and “bird” motifs. Just like in flower painting, in products depicting a horse and a bird, the motifs can be symmetrical. They are located on the sides of a flowering tree or inside a flower garland.

Sometimes, among a symmetrically written floral pattern, there are two birds, asymmetrical in design, sometimes different in color. Sometimes, when a master makes a composition from several objects (for example, cutting boards), symmetry manifests itself in the composition of the two extreme ones. On the outer boards, various flower motifs can be depicted, or when writing birds, two motifs will be used: “rooster” and “hen”.

Note: The images “rooster” and “horse” are symbols of the sun, wishes for happiness. The images of a “rooster” and “hen” symbolize family well-being and a wish for the family to have many children.

Subject painting Performed on large items: panels, chests and large boxes, cutting boards and dishes. The composition is similar to the composition of gift spinning wheels, such as: painting in two or three tiers (in the upper part the main plot is written with a feast, date, walk, departure, etc., in the lower part the plots help to reveal this topic). The middle part separating the tiers is presented in the form of a floral stripe. Another option is also possible: the main plot is depicted, surrounded by a floral stripe.

Interior: scenes of feasts, tea parties, weddings are performed against the background of a window with the obligatory inclusion of a table. The table is filled with cups, a samovar or a vase of flowers (a symbol of wealth and prosperity). The composition can include curtains and clocks.

People's faces are always turned towards the viewer. It is very rare to find images rotated in three quarters. Exterior: houses with carved shutters and trim, chimneys decorated with carved roosters, wells with roofs decorated with horse heads.

Most often, scenes of walking, going out and dating are not divided into parts. The panels depict entire streets with houses, fences, churches, plant motifs in the form of trees.

Often next to the main characters you can find images of animals - dogs, cats, roosters, chickens. With this plot structure, the main characters are depicted in the foreground, larger than the secondary ones, and they are often highlighted in color.

Today we are studying the technique of Gorodets painting. This type of painting for beginners is one of the types of folk arts and crafts in Russia, which originated in a small town on the Volga called Gorodets. Drawings made using this technique are distinguished by bright, saturated colors, the presence of black horses in the paintings and birds with incredibly bushy tails. Also, flowers are always present in the works, mainly bud, rose, rose and chamomile.

Learning Gorodets painting for beginners

Drawings using the Gorodets painting technique are very symbolic - the horse symbolizes wealth, birds symbolize happiness, and flowers symbolize health and prosperity. The main motifs of the drawings are riders on horses, young ladies in lush, colorful dresses, various special events - fairs, weddings, folk festivals or just city streets, i.e. all elements of the painting conveyed life and everyday life ordinary people. Moreover, animals were always depicted only in profile, and people in full face. In addition, Gorodets pictures are always saturated with flowers - in the form of bouquets, garlands, or they are simply scattered chaotically throughout the work.

Traditionally, drawing using the Gorodets painting technique was done on wood - patterns were used to decorate spinning wheels, boxes, chests, arcs, children's furniture, cutting boards and other household items. But on initial stage You can also try your hand on paper so that your hands get used to curved shapes, to transitions from the finest lines to broad strokes and other unusual elements of drawings.

Let's touch a little on folk art and try to draw the main types of flowers that are present in Gorodets drawings. To do this we need a sheet of paper, a pencil, a brush and cherry-colored gouache.

At the beginning of the work, we draw four circles on a sheet of paper - three identical, and the fourth is slightly smaller, and using a brush and paint we make round spots on each circle - these will be the noses of the flowers. On the first two mugs, the spouts will be located in the center, and on the rest - on the side.

Next, we begin to finish painting our flowers as shown in the photo, making the petals with paint of the same color. We draw an arc along the circumference of the first circle, starting with a barely noticeable touch of the brush on the paper, gradually increasing the pressure and finishing the work again with a barely noticeable touch - we get a bud. In the central part of the second circle we draw a similar arc, and along the edge of the circle, with smaller arcs made according to the same principle, we draw petals - we have a rose. We draw the same petals around the circumference of the third circle, thus obtaining a rose. From the fourth circle we will make a daisy, using a different technique - dipping to draw droplets around the nose of the flower.

Not like that in cunning ways flowers are drawn in Gorodets painting. Now you can paint some household item and give it as a gift to a loved one. If you have to draw at the same time a large number of colors, then you can use templates and stencils of circles using a compass and use them in your work.

Now let's take a step-by-step look at how flowers are made using the Gorodets painting technique.

The underpainting is the same colored circle that serves as the basis for all the colors in Gorodets painting. For flowers in this painting technique, red, cherry, pink, blue and blue colors. At the same time, the flowers are blue and blue color may be completely absent from the picture or occupy no more than 1/4 of its part.

Guiding the petals - after the gouache with the underpainting has dried, we begin to draw the petals depending on the colors that you want to paint and use darker paint to outline them.

Revivals are the decoration of flowers using dots and strokes. The animations are made using white gouache and thin art brushes No. 2 or No. 3. Dots are placed in the center of the spouts of all colors, and the spouts of daisies and roses are also edged. The noses of buds and roses are decorated with a white arch. This stage is completed by the touches that are applied to the roses.

Thus, if you stick to traditional rules applying drawings using this technique, then Gorodets painting will no longer seem to be something super complex and unattainable for beginners. Even children can master it, they just need to put in some effort and, as they say, “get the hang of it.” In addition, there are now quite a lot of different art educational institutions where teaching this type of creativity is adapted for both children and adults.

Household items painted using the Gorodets technique are still popular today, because designs on cutting boards, boxes or kitchen spatulas can decorate the interior of any home, even the most modern one.

Well, if you still have a little meager idea about the Gorodets masters, then I suggest you get acquainted with their interesting creativity closer.

Lesson plan:

Where did Gorodets art come from?

The story of one of the most high achievements folk art - Gorodets painting - began in the 19th century. Peasants lived on both banks of the Volga River in villages named Kurtsevo, Savino, Koskovo and others, who made carved spinning wheels and sold them at fairs.

And they decorated this carving to make their creations brighter.

Later decorative pattern and completely replaced wood carving from the spinning wheels, and such painted art began to be called “Nizhny Novgorod painting”, and the masters themselves were called “Kurtsev dyers”.

This is interesting! Not everyone knows that the development of wood carving in Gorodets is due to Peter I, who asked each ship to be decorated with wooden carvings, showing the Russian power and talent of the Russian people. When construction moved closer to the seashores in the 18th century, Russian craftsmen found another use for their talent - they began to make spoons and bowls, cups and spinning wheels from wood.

It is believed that Gorodets painting flourished with the appearance in the village of Kurtsevo in 1870 of an icon painter from Gorodets named Ogurechnikov, who was invited to revive the painting of the Kurtsevo church. It was he who taught local craftsmen to apply paint in layers, enliven the picture with whitewash and give expressiveness to the drawing.

Starting painting with spinning wheels, Kurtsev craftsmen slowly began to hone their acquired skills on dishes, baskets, toys for children, and boxes. Unique lush bouquets, black horses, and strange birds appeared in the houses. They “drank tea” and “had festivities” on the tree.

Only in the 30s of the 20th century did the name of this painting on wood appear, which today we know and hear - “Gorodets painting”, and all thanks to the fact that such decorated household utensils were sold in the nearby town of Gorodets, and workshops operated.

Or a daring fellow,

Miracle horse and miracle bird, -

So this is Gorodets!

How is Gorodets painting different?

It is difficult to confuse Gorodets craftsmanship with another, because this particular painting is replete with bright garlands and lush bouquets. Only here you will see all the pompousness of the plots along with the sincerity of the common people.

One has only to look at the objects painted in the Gorodets style, and you will immediately find yourself:

• on a walk as a horse rider;
• at the table during tea drinking, surrounded by rich decoration;
• together with hunters in the forest;
• in a circle of cheerful and carefree city people;
• or at the spinning wheel.

In addition to depicting the life of peasants and merchants, Gorodets artists could depict mystical animals. But no matter what theme was present in the drawing, it was always decorated with garlands of flowers.

From the very beginning, Gorodets painting was applied with egg paints in the form of large spots, without contours. Masters could make free-form brushstrokes, then outlining the elements with a black or white line. Favorite background colors:

• green;
• bright red;
• black;
• juicy blue.

Today, craftsmen in factories use oil paints, which gives them a greater variety of color, but the features of the Gorodets painting motifs have been preserved. The technology of painting on wood has also remained the same.

Yellow evening, black horse,

And the baths are like fire,

Birds look from the casket -

This is a painting of Gorodets!

How to draw in Gorodets

Gorodets craftsmen have their own technology for painting on wood. Initially, artists using pencil thin line sketch out the future drawing, outlining the location of its elements and their sizes. Wooden base can be pre-coated with primer paint in one of the shades - red, yellow or black. Professionals do not waste time on sketching, but paint straight away.

For Gorodets painting they use special paint– tempera, which is made from natural or artificial powders. Sometimes craftsmen use gouache as an assistant and add PVA glue to it. But whatever the paint, the most important thing is its saturated color, which is what makes the painting from Gorodets different.

The basis of all elements is drawn in white, this is called shading. Then on light tone details are applied with thin strokes. Do it dark shades, that’s why this step is called shadowing. At the last stage of drawing, using the thinnest brush, they do the so-called preparation black paint and revitalization with white paint in the form of dots and shading.

When finished work completely dry, it is coated with varnish. In general, it’s not that difficult. Want to try? Then read about what Gorodets masters usually paint.

Stripes are used for painting three-dimensional objects, for example, to decorate a round box, or as an edging in a plot. The edges of the product are often painted with wreaths.

Composition with drawing of a bird or horse

It is often used to paint large items - tableware, bread bins, children's furniture, but sometimes this theme can be seen on an ordinary spoon. Such images look very beautiful on a black or red background.

Plot

The most difficult painting, which can be dedicated to dates or a feast, fairy tales or modern life. Usually such drawings are stretched along horizontal line. The picture may consist of several parts, separated by columns, curtains or other interior items. Sometimes in one story you can see several characters in different rooms.

Gorodets artists always depict grooms on horseback, and brides standing near birch trees. In scenes with a feast, the tables are always full of dishes, and the obligatory symbol on them is a samovar. Sometimes Gorodets artists paint entire villages with houses, wells, streets, and churches.
