I present to your attention master class on drawing using non-traditional techniques in the senior group « Underwater kingdom» .

For work we need:

Landscape sheet;

Wax pencils;

Watercolor paints;

Brushes thin and thick;

A jar of water.

First, on a white sheet of paper, in different places, we draw various fish with wax pencils. We use bright colors: yellow, red, orange and others. It is better if the fish swim in different directions. Below we draw pebbles in black, brown or gray.

Then paint over the entire sheet with a thick brush using cold watercolors. flowers: blue, violet, cyan. We use enough water on the brush to get interesting infusions of one color into another and color stretches. The smoother the transition of colors and tones, the more impressive the work will look. The image of fish and pebbles will appear as the wax repels water.

Then, until the blue paint has dried, we paint algae with a thin brush in green using the technique "in the wet". « Underwater kingdom» ready!

Here are the works of our children:

Thank you for your attention!

Realistic 3D drawings from a Singaporean artist!

Singaporean artist Keng Lai creates 3D works of art that balance on the edge of reality, depicting the inhabitants of the underwater world. The drawings look so realistic that they can easily be mistaken for photographs of octopuses, turtles, fish and shrimp swimming in small containers.

The master achieves a stunning 3D effect using epoxy resin, acrylic paint and a phenomenal sense of perspective.

Having gone through the stage of hyper-realistic painting, Keng’s work went beyond its scope and approached sculpture.

Now he is experimenting with the use of additional elements protruding from the painting, adding a new dimension to his three-dimensional painting.

The work of the innovative artist has gained many fans around the world.

Keng Lai borrowed the technique he uses from the Japanese artist Riuzuke Fukaori, known for his talent for managing illusion and perspective.

However, the Singaporean did not stop at the classic approach of his inspiration and went further - he forced representatives of the aquatic world to protrude above the surface of the resin surface.

This is not another three-dimensional painting, the depth of which can be seen from a certain angle, it is rather a sculpture painted with acrylic paints.

The process of creating three-dimensional masterpieces is long and painstaking - Keng Lai slowly fills plates, bowls, buckets or small boxes with alternating layers of acrylic paint and epoxy resin, which can be applied countless times before achieving a satisfactory effect.

A labor-intensive task that requires maximum patience and attention to detail, as all elements of the image must be carefully applied and dried, layer by layer.

The author spends a huge amount of time on each work - on average a month of daily work.

Keng Lai became acquainted with three-dimensional painting in 2012.

At that time, at the age of 48, he had a degree in graphic design, experience as a production designer in advertising and the creation of his own company, but his development did not end there.

One day Keng saw a video of Riuzuke Fukaori, where he performed real miracles with paint and resin, and decided to repeat the feats of the Japanese. Initially, all his illustrations were “flat”, and the depth of the image was given by the usual layering of acrylic and resin.

In 2013, the artist became interested in whether he could take his technique to a higher level and began experimenting with the possibilities of hyper-realistic painting, adding three-dimensional objects into the thickness of the varnish.

So one day he included ordinary small pebbles in his compositions depicting an octopus and goldfish, and used eggshells as a shell for a turtle.

The overall idea was to give the work of art an even greater 3D dimension, therefore, from any angle the painting would appear at its best.

The Singaporean craftsman is confident that there are many more methods that can be used in art that lies on the border of painting and sculpture, and he tirelessly studies them.

Fans of Mr. Lai's work can only wait for new results of his activities to appear.

Drawing with cotton swabs. Master class with photos

Master class on drawing "Underwater world"

Dumler Tatyana Petrovna, art teacher at MAOU gymnasium No. 56 in Tomsk
Purpose: This work is intended for little artists, teachers, and parents.
Target: Draw in gouache using an unconventional method.
Tasks:
- teach how to draw animals of the underwater world
- develop imagination and creativity
- promote the development of fine motor skills and attention.
Materials: To complete this work we will need drawing paper, gouache, a brush, cotton swabs, and a glass of water.

We invite first-graders to immerse themselves in the magical world of the sea kingdom.
To begin with, a surface of water should appear on the landscape sheet. Using a wide brush, the children paint the background with cool-toned paints.

Gouache dries quickly. After a short conversation (or a game, riddles, presentation), the guys begin to draw sea creatures. We draw a turtle with brown paint: the body is a large oval, the legs are triangles, the head is a small oval.

Another amazing and beautiful inhabitant of the seas is the jellyfish. We paint it with lilac (or purple) paint. Semicircular body, ornate tentacles.

And of course, it’s hard to imagine the sea without fish, beautiful, unusual, fabulous. Using ocher (or yellow paint) we draw the body of an oval-shaped fish.

Cotton swabs have been used as a drawing material for a long time. But for young artists it is always very unusual and intriguing. I propose to decorate our heroes with patterns using cotton swabs.

We dip a cotton swab into the paint and apply it to the drawing, creating patterns. We continue to decorate the turtle. For each color we use a new stick and put them in a glass.

To decorate the jellyfish we use a pink palette. I suggest the guys mix white and pink paints to get a new shade. We also mix purple and white helmets. The guys apply patterns at their own discretion.

You can decorate fish with warm colors.

We paint the sandy bottom with yellow, brown, and ocher paints. First we paint the algae with a brush.

The children choose the further decoration of the drawing themselves. You can add other algae, you can draw rocks, shells, you can draw air bubbles.

Try this work with your students and you will see what wonderful “masterpieces” you will get. I wish you good luck! Thanks for watching!

Of course, I’m not much of an artist, but I can depict the underwater world. Especially, I like to convey the underwater world “from my head”, what I really saw. The process of drawing, in addition to pleasure, also brings me benefits. For example, during the process of drawing I calm down and can even make important decisions. Drawing has become for me a kind of psychologist that restores and heals my nerves.

How to paint the underwater world with paints

If I start drawing, then only paints. I believe that only paints can truly convey the color of sea water and the underwater world with its inhabitants. Preparatory activities what you will need for drawing:

thick album sheet;
paints;
brushes of different sizes;
additional decorations for fish and octopuses.

For drawing I use gouache. These are the paints that dry very quickly. So, first you should depict the sea, painting the entire sheet with blue, blue and turquoise paints. After the paint has dried, you can start painting fish, jellyfish, turtles and other living creatures. My drawing, in the end, turns out to be simple. It only takes me 30 minutes to draw. But I'm recovering. After this kind of art therapy, I can freely keep working, think.

How to accurately convey the underwater world

Of course, drawing lovers like me can draw the underwater world from the top of our heads simply by using our imagination. But in order to to To truly convey all the beauty of the sea, it is imperative:

visit the sea and see what the underwater world looks and lives like;
look at photos on the Internet;
watch a documentary.

Best go diving. This is both pleasant and useful. After seeing the beauty of, for example, the Red Sea, there will be no free space left in the drawing in just 10 minutes. It’s not without reason that I started talking about the Red Sea. And all because this particular sea is considered the richest and most diverse. There are more than 3 thousand species of fish alone. Every year on sea world Thousands of divers come to watch.
