How to learn to paint with watercolors from scratch?
Watercolor painting is one of the most difficult in the world, but at the same time, it is the most delicate, fragile and attractive for novice artists. What's so special about her? The whole secret is in the transparency of the lines, thanks to which even the smallest color transitions are visible. The wateriness of the picture, which gives it volume. But how to comprehend this not simple art? How to learn to paint with watercolors from scratch? Before we start drawing, we need to select auxiliary materials. The art school for adults and children in its courses offers professional training in drawing in any technique, but you can learn it yourself. Consider in the article the points that will help us with this.
On what paper and with what brushes to paint with watercolors?
1. Paper. It is better to immediately purchase a watercolor one, it is not expensive (about 40 rubles a notebook). Its difference from the usual one is in the dense texture of the sheets. Such paper will not swell with water and warp.
2. Brushes. At the paint shop, we start with two brushes. Small and large. Squirrel wool works well for watercolors.
3. Palette. The choice of the palette is not fundamental, we choose any. Some artists replace the palette with small glass, it is practical to use and easy to clean.
4. Paints. Children's honey paints with the addition of lemon and other things - immediately put aside. We won't need them. We take any professional paints in the shop for artists. Open them up and look at the colors, you should like them. It is not necessary to take the most expensive ones, it doesn’t matter.
How to learn how to paint correctly with watercolors for beginners in stages?
How beautiful to paint with watercolors? In order for our watercolor drawings to be of high quality, it is necessary to master a few basic techniques.
1. Uniform fill. Draw a square or rectangle on paper. It is better to choose a darker color, it will be better visible on it. Type it on a brush and draw it from one corner to another. Pick up paint again. Draw the next strip so that it overlaps the previous joint. If the first strip does not completely flow into the second, then tilt the sheet of paper. Pick up paint and continue painting stripes, maintaining a uniform shade. Rinse the brush in water and squeeze out. Smooth out the dark stripes with a brush. Let the drawing dry. If you get a rectangle evenly filled with paint, you are good at it.
2. Dependence of the shade of paint on the amount of water. Let's take some paint on the brush and draw the first line, then lower the brush into the water and draw the second one 1 cm away from it. Let's continue to dip the brush in water and draw lines until they become as transparent as possible. This exercise helps you get a feel for how much water needs to be added to get the desired shade.
3.Gradient. The goal of this exercise is to get a uniform transition from dark to light. Draw some paint with a brush and draw a vertical line, then dip the brush in water and draw the second one so that it goes slightly behind the first and the paint starts to flow. We repeat the same thing again, adding water. We achieve a complete color transition. Swipe the last strip with just water. Dry the brush and slide the paint roller underneath the fill.
Learn to paint in watercolor step by step using various techniques for beginners
How to start painting with watercolors? It is necessary to comprehend the fundamentals of art. These are certain exercises, by performing which, you will master the first basics of drawing with watercolors.
1. Wet on wet. Dampen a small piece of paper with water. The sheet should be evenly saturated with water. Now take your paint with a brush and brush over the wet spot. Watch how the paint spreads. Practice adding more or less paint to the sheet of paper. This will be very useful to you.
2. Blending from color to color. First, draw any shapes with water. Take, for example, a blue color on the brush and apply it to the shape. Add some burgundy and yellow. You should achieve a smooth transition from one color to another. If not, add some water.
3. Overlay layers. Let's draw the background as in the first exercise. Let's wait a bit, let it dry completely. Draw on the background a couple of circles of different colors and let dry. Draw the third layer on the circles.
4. Reception using table salt. Draw the background and add some regular table salt on top. We wait. Salt crystals gradually absorb the paint and become like stars. The effect is most noticeable in dark areas.
5. Clouds with a napkin. Fill the background and while the paint is still wet, begins to apply a napkin, shaping it. Thus, we get a texture that resembles clouds. This technique can be used to fix mistakes that you get while drawing. Just blot off excess paint.
6. Splashes. We collect paint on a brush and run your finger over the brush over the paper or drip, forming uneven splashes over the entire surface. It is better to cover the table with a cloth to avoid contamination.
10 common mistakes aspiring artists make
1. Love yourself. Many artists begin to scold themselves and overly criticize their paintings. You don't need to do this. Draw something - praise yourself. Everything you do is only for you and for the realization of your creative needs. The more you enjoy the drawing process, the better you will get.
2. Use materials that are comfortable. Quality brushes, paper and paint. Then the drawing process will only bring you pleasure.
3. Copy stories from famous artists. They will serve as the foundation of your knowledge.
4. Show your paintings to all your friends, relatives and acquaintances. Present your painting. Gather like-minded people around you who will support you.
5. Warm and cold paints. Use more colder shades in the distance and warm shades up close. This will give you an aerial perspective in your painting.
6. Do not paint the entire background with one paint. Change the tone, mix colors, create color in your picture. We made two or three strokes with one color, add another. The more shades you use, the more interesting your painting will be.
7. Let the painting dry. This will make it more elaborate and deeper.
8. Show volume up close. Apply more paint to nearby objects with a palette knife. Make them voluminous.
9. The more you mix colors, the more picturesque your painting will be. Mix in halftones.
10. Decorate pictures with a baguette. It gives the picture an extra dimension.

Everyone knows the aroma of gouache paints from childhood. It is not difficult to understand how to draw with gouache, the technique of such drawing is quite simple. It is necessary to draw, starting with a sketch of the drawing with a pencil.
A palette knife is used to apply paint and mix it. It can be used to apply paint with even strokes.
From an early age, we paint a simple, unpretentious landscape in an album with gouache. But, you can draw patterns, flowers, mountains, and even city buildings with such paints. For beginners, working with gouache is just perfect.
By drawing a sketch with a pencil, it is possible to avoid mistakes and do the work neatly. If you smear and mix paints directly on the canvas, then you just get dirt on the picture. Therefore, you can add a little water to the gouache and it will turn into watercolor.
To learn how to learn how to paint beautifully with gouache, you need to get acquainted with the step-by-step technique. This technique consists in the fact that during the drawing, gouache is applied only horizontally.
First of all, we will draw the dark fragments of the picture, and only then we will depict the highlights with a light color. As a result, we get the desired color without traces of dirt.
Gouache painting techniques
Among the techniques known to artists for painting a picture with gouache, the following are common:
- With a damp layer of paint on a layer that has not yet dried. In this case, the paint lays down tightly and dries for a long time. This method is more suitable for watercolor painting.
- With a dry brush, gouache paints are applied to the dried layer.
- A textured picture is created with the help of a sponge. This technique is perfect when we are painting an autumn landscape, you can easily depict the bright colors of a golden autumn.
- The technique of spraying paint on the canvas will cheer up the beginner and help to overcome the excitement. It is enough to moisten a brush in paint and spray gouache on paper or canvas. The result is a bright and beautiful painting. Be sure to learn this method of applying paint, which helps train your hand.
Of course, we will not paint a picture without the right brush. It is advisable to choose brushes made of nylon, goat or pork hair.

Types of gouache
Gouache is suitable for painting on cardboard, paper, canvas and other surfaces. But not every gouache has such universal properties. Consider the main types of such paints:
- Suitable for painting only surfaces. It is absorbed into the material and allows you to apply a second layer, making the colors in the picture richer and more vibrant.
- Has a richer pigment and bright coloring ability. She decorates theatrical scenery. Children's gouache contains PVA glue, so it dries quickly. It is convenient to work with such gouache on plywood, ceramics or canvas. But acrylic paint perfectly fits on any surface, and after drying it is not washed off and does not lose its original color.
- Fluorescent gouache. Amazing in its properties and quality. Under the influence of ultraviolet rays, it glows. The color is too bright, which gives the picture a special beauty.

All children love to draw. But sometimes the child does not turn out the way he wants. Or maybe he doesn't know enough ways to express himself? Then you can inspire him to experiment with different techniques, among which there will definitely be a favorite. After that, your child will probably want to invent something new.
Dot patterns
First, draw the simplest squiggle. Then, using a cotton swab and paints (gouache or acrylic), we make intricate patterns as the soul lies down. It is better to pre-mix the paints and dilute slightly with water on a palette.
Frottage
This technique is familiar and beloved by many since childhood. We put an object with a slightly protruding relief under a sheet of paper and paint over it with pastel, chalk or not sharpened pencil.
Foam rubber prints
Having dipped a sponge in thick gouache, the child can draw landscapes, bouquets of flowers, lilac branches or animals.
Blotography
One option is to drip paint onto a sheet and tilt it in different directions to get an image. Second: the child dips a brush in paint, then places a blot on a sheet of paper and folds the sheet in half so that the blot is imprinted on the second half of the sheet. Then he unfolds the sheet and tries to understand who or what the drawing looks like.
Other drawings by the method of blotting can be viewed
Hand and foot prints
It's simple: you need to dip your foot or palm in paint and make a print on paper. And then use your imagination and add a couple of details.
More information about the method of drawing with palms can be found
Paint patterns
For such an application, you need to apply a thick layer of paint on paper. Then, with the opposite end of the brush, scratch patterns on the still wet paint - various lines and curls. When dry, cut out the desired shapes and stick on a thick sheet.
Fingerprints
The name speaks for itself. You need to paint your finger with a thin layer and make a print. A couple of strokes with a felt-tip pen - and you're done!
Monotype
On a flat smooth surface (for example, glass), a drawing is applied with paint. Then a sheet of paper is applied, and the print is ready. To make it more blurry, the sheet of paper must first be wetted. When everything is dry, you can add details and outlines if you like.
Scratchboard
The highlight of the work is that the drawing needs to be scratched. A sheet of cardboard is densely shaded with spots of multi-colored oil pastels. Then black gouache must be mixed with soap on a palette and painted over the entire sketch. When the paint is completely dry, scratch the drawing with a toothpick.
Air paints
To prepare the paint, you need to mix a tablespoon of self-rising flour, a few drops of food coloring, and a tablespoon of salt. Add a little water until the consistency of thick sour cream and mix well. The paint can be placed in a pastry syringe or in a small bag. Tie tight and notch corner. We draw on paper or plain cardboard. We place the finished drawing in the microwave for 10-30 seconds at the maximum setting.
"Marble" paper
Paint over a sheet of paper with yellow acrylic paint. When it is completely dry, paint over again with diluted pink paint and immediately cover with cling film. The film needs to be crumpled and gathered in folds, since it is they who will create the desired pattern for us. We wait until it dries completely and remove the film.
Painting with water
Draw a simple shape in watercolor and fill it with water. Until it's dry, we put colored blots on it so that they mix with each other and form such smooth transitions.
Vegetable and Fruit Prints
The vegetable or fruit must be cut in half. Then you can cut some kind of pattern on it or leave it as it is. We dip in paint and make prints on paper. For prints, you can use an apple, potato, carrot, or celery.
Leaf prints
The principle is the same. We smear the leaves with paint and make prints on paper.
Drawings with salt
If you sprinkle salt on the still wet watercolor painting, it will soak in the paint and, when dry, will create a grainy effect.
Brush instead of a brush
Sometimes it's worth trying something unexpected as an experiment. For example, a household brush.
Ebru, or drawing on water
We need a container of water. The main requirement is that its area coincides with the area of a sheet of paper. You can use an oven roaster or a large tray. You will also need oil paints, a solvent for them and a brush. The point is to create patterns with paint on water, and then dip a sheet of paper in them. How it's done: www.youtube.com
Cracked wax effect
Draw an image on thin paper with wax pencils. In our case, a flower. The background must be completely shaded. Crumple well and then straighten the sheet with the drawing. We paint over it with dark paint so that it enters all the cracks. We wash the drawing under the tap and dry it. If required, smooth it with an iron.
You can see about drawing on crumpled paper
Cardboard offset prints
We cut the cardboard into small strips, about 1.5 × 3 cm. Dip the edge of a piece of cardboard in paint, press it vertically to the paper and evenly shift it to the side. Wide lines will be obtained from which the drawing is created.
Cam prints
For such a drawing, the child will have to clench his hands into fists. Then dip the back of your fingers in paint and make prints, creating the desired shape. Fish and crabs can be created using fingerprints.
