All children love to draw. But sometimes the child does not turn out the way he wants. Or maybe he doesn’t have enough familiar ways to express himself? Then you can inspire him to experiment with different techniques among which there is sure to be a favorite. After that, your child will probably want to invent something new.
website collected the most interesting techniques for you.
Patterns from dots
First, draw the simplest squiggle. Then with the help cotton swab and paints (gouache or acrylic) we make intricate patterns, as the soul lies. Paints are best pre-mixed and slightly diluted with water on the palette.
Frottage
Since childhood, a technique familiar and loved by many. We put an object with a slightly protruding relief under a sheet of paper and paint over it with pastel, chalk or an unsharpened pencil.
Foam prints
Having dipped a sponge in thick gouache, a child can draw landscapes, bouquets of flowers, lilac branches or animals.
Blotography
One option: drip paint on the sheet and tilt it in different sides to get some image. Second: the child dips the brush into the paint, then places the inkblot on a sheet of paper and folds the sheet in half so that the inkblot is printed on the second half of the sheet. Then he unfolds the sheet and tries to understand who or what the drawing looks like.
Hand and foot prints
It's simple: you need to dip your foot or palm in paint and make an imprint on paper. And then use your imagination and finish drawing a couple of details.
Paint Patterns
For such an application, you need to apply a thick layer of paint on paper. Then, with the back end of the brush on the still wet paint, scratch patterns - a variety of lines and curls. When dry, cut out the desired shapes and stick on a thick sheet.
Fingerprints
The name speaks for itself. It is necessary to paint the finger with a thin layer and make an imprint. A couple of strokes with a felt-tip pen - and you're done!
Monotype
A drawing is applied to a flat smooth surface (for example, glass). Then a sheet of paper is applied, and the print is ready. To make it more blurry, a sheet of paper must first be wetted. When everything is dry, you can add details and outlines if desired.
Grattage
The highlight of the work is that the drawing needs to be scratched. A sheet of cardboard is tightly shaded with spots of multi-colored oil pastels. Then black gouache must be mixed on a palette with soap and painted over the entire sketch. When the paint is completely dry, scratch the pattern with a toothpick.
air paints
To prepare the dye, 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 to the consistency of thick sour cream and mix well. The paint can be placed in a confectionery syringe or in a small bag. Tie tightly and cut corner. We draw on paper or ordinary cardboard. We place the finished drawing for 10-30 seconds in the microwave at maximum mode.
"Marble" paper
Paint a sheet of paper 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 into folds, since it is they who will create the desired pattern for us. We wait for complete drying and remove the film.
water painting
We draw with watercolor a simple figure and fill it with water. Until it dries, we put colored blots on it so that they mix with each other and form such smooth transitions.
Prints of vegetables and fruits
Vegetable or fruit should be cut in half. Then you can cut some kind of pattern on it or leave it as it is. We dip into the 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.
unexpectedly, but since there are many techniques, I decided to write with examples.
(pictures are not mine)
what is not good - wax crayons in general, thick felt-tip pens (from 1.5 mm tip), thick watercolor pencils, unless you know how to use them in watercolor mode and do not plan to paint small details.
what is needed:
1. markers-felt-tip pens are different
a super-thin tip (0.3 mm or less) cannot paint over large volumes - they are best used for small contours or drawing. medium size (0.4-0.8) is possible, but you need to carefully monitor the layers and not falling on each other - this does not always look neat with felt-tip pens. I categorically do not recommend felt-tip pens to those who like accuracy and accuracy in applying color. in principle, you can draw with a felt-tip pen on a felt-tip pen, but only darker on a lighter one. thin light fineliners get dirty in the same way. about stamps: people complain that sharpie creep-spread even after application, but this is highly dependent on the paper.
with a brush tip (watercolor).
watercolor brush pen
but it is better to take double-sided - on the one hand a brush, and on the other a dense tip 
and metal markers. you just have to be careful with them, some of them leak a lot.
metallic marker
but wide markers apply Pts. hard 
2. ordinary colored pencils. minus - slowly and cannot be less bright than felt-tip pens and pens. plus - you can mix, unlike felt-tip pens. they can also be combined with any other - felt-tip pens, markers, pens, watercolors.
The subtlety with pencils is that you do not have to press with all your might, as in childhood. it is better to cover in several layers. well, light shading gives a lot of maneuvers - you can do graduation and mix colors as you like. only you need to remember about the direction of the strokes - it is better not to change them inside one object-place. you can make a layer in one direction, and on top of the other at an angle to it. if you draw in zigzags, it may turn out not very neat.
these two, of course, were painted by a pro ... 
those who need to be able to play everything back should color with erasable pencils. I'm talking about them
there is also a convenient version - double-sided pencils, where there are different colors. this saves space, and anyway, long ones almost never end, unless you draw professionally. but just short ones if you buy (there are such ones at the kraiola), it is inconvenient to hold for an adult
colleen colored pencil
3. watercolor colored pencils. usually expensive. but you can get the pluses of both pencils and watercolors at the same time 
4. watercolor - coloring paper should be quite dense. near the world-famous "enchanted forest" - just the right 
5. Multi-color pencils - these are pencils where the stylus is not of the same color, but from a pack of different pigments. there are versions by shades, there are completely mixed - iridescent
6. gel pens. best professional with great choice colors. minus - they run out quickly.
bright night gel pen
you can also take gel pens with different effects- metallic, glitter, etc.
in this set they are also different thicknesses. but not cheap professional quality %(

about technology
I strongly recommend that before you start coloring the page, test new felt-tip pens-markers-pencils somewhere separately. check that nothing is leaking, even if you accidentally make 2-3-4 layers. This is especially critical for perfectionists. experienced fighters generally recommend putting a sheet between the pages, to be sure.
it is not necessary to follow the contours. you can paint, ignoring them, and creating your own color waves. 
or vice versa, smaller entities inside existing rendered objects - textures, new patterns, etc. 
and you can do without different colors 
don't forget the background. you can leave it white, or you can make it dark, multi-colored, or add textures too 
It is not necessary to follow any rules in colors. you can generally select an object for coloring and with eyes closed random color. 
if you want a guaranteed beautiful, then you should first decide on the spectrum and general rules shading, especially if the objects are small. for example, the leaves are always purple with a red border, and not randomly. love the rules - follow them, do not like - do not follow. and what is written here can also not be followed%)

Let's learn to color!
The kid is already two years old, now you can interest him coloring pictures. Why is this needed? First, it's simple interesting activity, Secondly, coloring pages for children, it means preparing a hand for writing and developing finger motor skills. It is necessary to develop the writing skills of children long before they begin to write the first letters. These inclinations begin to form when the baby makes the first attempts at drawing and coloring.
Of course, it’s too early to talk about beauty and forms, the correct movement of the hand at this time, but it’s just about the initial mastery of writing skills. good time. After all, learning to write begins with the ability to draw.
Coloring and drawing associated with visual perception, thinking, motor skills, speech. Coloring Pictures are not only interesting, but also useful.
Coloring pictures helps the baby to expand his knowledge of the world around him, get acquainted with color and shape, master the technique of neat shading (suggest that you first carefully paint over the element along the edge and only then shade it entirely, get acquainted with the features of working with pencils and paints. Baby learns accuracy, develops fine motor skills hands, in the future it will help him master the letter without any problems and difficulties.
Coloring pages help the child to learn control the swing of your hand. Pay attention, when the kid is just starting to draw, he does not track the borders of the sheet, and the picture is obtained painted not along the contour, and even beyond. Borders "get out" sometimes partially, and sometimes completely on the table, floor and your favorite wallpaper.
Thanks to coloring pages the child comprehends the pattern of the world, brings to life his own color finds. If baby paints drawing unusual color, then you should not scold him for this, he has his own opinion about this, ask him about it (by the way, this approach allows you to identify color blindness in a child at an early age).
Sitting properly when working with coloring book.
Before proceeding to coloring, it is necessary to show the child how to properly sit: keep the back straight, without tilting to any side, book- coloring should lie directly in front of the baby, in one hand - a brush (a felt-tip pen, a pencil, and the other must support a sheet of the album. The brush holding the drawing accessory should not be tense and should not hang in the air or above the paper. In time, a child under three years old is quite it is enough to draw or decorate for 10-15 minutes.
How coloring?
Basic fixtures for coloring pages are: colored pencils, brushes with paints and markers, and for the smallest it can also be their own hands, or rather fingers (using finger paints). Pencils, that's enough Just: when buying, choose pencils bright colors with soft grips. In terms of thickness, they, like felt-tip pens, should not be very thin, but not very thick, so that it is convenient for the child to hold them in his hand. For the smallest, it is better to choose with a trihedral body, so that the baby learns to place his fingers correctly.
WITH paints Everything is also not so difficult, just more information. For kids, it is better to purchase special finger ones; for older children, gouache and watercolor are suitable. With their help, the child can paint by hand, and brushes.
Basic rules for working with coloring book.
1. It is better if one of the parents works together with the child, in this case it is possible to monitor the baby's posture, how he holds a pencil or felt-tip pen, remind him of the need to rinse the brush, etc.
2. Get started with coloring pages it’s better to start with the simplest ones, which have one large drawing on the page, and then move on to more complex ones.
3. Show by example how to draw strokes and smears: they should be located next to each other, without any gaps, should not go beyond the outline of the drawing or its individual part, with coloring with paints explain the need to wait until one area dries out before starting to fill in the neighboring area with color.
4. At the end of each work, describe verbally what the baby did well and what he did not quite right, praise him for the work done and thank him for perseverance and diligence. This will contribute to the self-affirmation of the child.
Plunge together with the baby into the world of colors and learn environment again, together with the children. Bright impressions to you! And finally, I want to offer a selection coloring pages made at different ages.

Often, extraordinary do-it-yourself room decor techniques become the main highlight of the entire interior. But here it is important to take into account the style and design of the room: futuristic objects are a very dubious decoration of an English-style living room, wooden pallets with inscriptions in the rhythm of Provence are not suitable for a kitchen interior with high technology, as well as aluminum plates are unlikely to fit into the elegant Art Deco. In an effort to create exquisite eclecticism, you can easily make a mistake. It is very important to think over everything in advance, namely the location and fastening decorative elements.
We offer to consider interesting solutions for the room, in addition to paintings, posters and photos. However, let's not forget about them.
Window as a decorative element of the interior
A window mounted in a wall, which is an interior partition, is a rather extraordinary technique for dividing space. Such a solution will not only become the main decoration of two zones at the same time, but will also allow more natural light to pass from one room to another.
A window frame can also be an extraordinary independent art object. Hang it on the wall or put it on a console - this technique will radically transform the atmosphere, add lightness and elegant charm to it.
The wooden aged frame with a large number of sections looks very colorful. Such a decorative thing is easy to make on your own at minimal cost.
A decorative window frame can serve not only as a decoration of a room, but also be a functional piece of furniture. So, mirrors in deglazing like a window frame look quite interesting. A good example is shown in the photo of the interior of the bedroom.
door against the wall
In addition to windows, old doors can become an unexpected decoration of the walls of a room. A sophisticated idea is to hang on them something obvious in traditional wall decoration, such as paintings, panels, photographs.
large-scale panels
Decorating a room with a three-dimensional panel is a great occasion to show your creative fantasy. Here try to experiment with textures, colors, materials and other components.
The dimensions of the decorative panel must be correlated with the quadrature of the room and the workload of all other walls. A large panel in a small room will look ridiculous: after all, its texture and color sometimes absorb space. Please note that panels and wallpapers are different things! The more panels, the brighter his role in home interior, the more neutral the adjacent walls should be.
Take a fresh look at ordinary material. An old metal sheet hung on a chain will become an original and extraordinary substrate for a poster or photographs.
Squares from sections of simple fiberboard, painted with stain and silver (by the way, you can safely use painting and stencils) will be beautiful in the form of a panel. In this view, it will perfectly fit into the luxurious industrial loft style.
You can also easily decorate one of the living room walls with your own hands. The composition of impressive large-scale tiles captivates with its originality and simplicity. You can fantasize about this topic endlessly.
Take a look at how the tic-tac-toe on the accent wall unobtrusively spread their playful mood throughout the room.
Panels with 3D effect
Appeared not so long ago fashion trend on multidimensional decor elements is rapidly gaining popularity. The 3D panels presented in the following photo literally attract the eyes of others. Affordable prices allow many to purchase such panels for decoration, while the texture and pattern can be chosen to your taste. There are many design options: engravings, plaster bas-reliefs, compositions from various multidimensional details.
Do not forget about the fragility of such products. Mounting and transporting them is very difficult, but the visual result is worth it.
Room decoration with shelves
Shelves in a room can serve not only as a functional piece of furniture, but also as a creative decor in the room. It is important that the shelves contrast in color with the wall. Think carefully about how to fill them beautifully and harmoniously - half-empty shelves create a feeling of a certain imperfection of the interior. Candles and lamps will be wonderful decorative contents, hourglass, original book holders, colorful ceramics.
An even greater decorative effect will be created by cute compact shelves of a non-standard shape (triangles, polyhedral cells, unnatural corners).
Posters and paintings
Decorating a room with paintings, photographs and posters is perhaps the most common decor today. In order for the result to live up to expectations, look dignified and unbanal, you need to carefully select the elements of fine art.
Show your imagination, choose a non-standard approach: frame herbariums of plants instead of still lifes painted with paints, tin panels and posters in retro style instead of flowers on the canvas, sketches of animals drawn in pencil instead of waterfalls and beaches.
If you still decide to buy something unique, buy paintings at exhibitions, special sites or on trips abroad.
Photos can be arranged in a completely non-standard way.
Unusual Attributes
Giant letters in inscriptions, quotes in posters, deer antlers - all these items are so common in interiors that today one would hardly want to see them again. But even from these seemingly familiar details, you can create an original combination in your own way. You just need to interpret them skillfully.
So, for example, a composition of five medallions with deer antlers already looks unusual, while inscriptions made in a non-standard font and placed on atypical canvases (not in rectangular frames, but at least in a hexagon) are perceived completely differently.
More ideas for do-it-yourself room decor are presented in a bright selection in the photo.
Original decor of flowers and plants
Decorative details are an essential attribute of any interior. Lovely handmade items retain the energy of their creator and serve as a source of pride.
Trifles made by yourself create a warm and cozy atmosphere in the room and cheer you up. Of course, you can buy decor in the store, but it's much nicer to make it yourself.
Most importantly, all decorative elements should be combined with the style of the room as a whole. We should not forget about the color palette.
Tablecloths, decorative pillows, bedspreads must be in harmony in tone with the carpet, walls, curtains. Otherwise, everything will be too colorful and tasteless.
A well-chosen decor can dramatically change the atmosphere of a room.
Textile
Original textile details can be the highlight of your interior. In addition to tablecloths, napkins and curtains, you can use pillows decorated with lace fabric or fur for decoration.
Various panels, paintings
This is the easiest way to decorate a room. After all, there is nothing easier than hanging a few pictures and frames with pictures on the walls or placing your favorite drawings on the shelf.
Nowadays, paintings made of genuine leather and voluminous wall compositions are in fashion.
You can create an unusual panel with your own hands from a variety of interesting pictures depicting landscapes, still lifes or sculptures. Such a little thing will certainly attract the attention of guests.
Frames for photographs and drawings can also be decorated. There are many ways: you can use beads, crystals, beads, stucco elements, decoupage.
Things embroidered with threads and beads
Today it is very popular to use various embroideries made by oneself or left over from grandmothers and great-grandmothers when decorating the interior. They look especially wonderful on decorative pillows, tablecloths and hand-woven napkins.
Beaded embroidery looks very impressive. You can also decorate furniture, dishes, mirrors, window cornices with beads.
Beaded beads make funny wicker figurines and bracelets. Curtains can be decorated with threads of different-sized beads.
Candles
The candle has long symbolized the hearth. Arranged candles create warm home environment. A wide vase with dry plants, paper flowers, pebbles and a candle in the center will look charming.
Various interesting containers, glasses can act as a candlestick. You can put shells, pebbles in them, fill them with water, and a candle will sway on top.
A candle stand can be made from a piece of wood, just gouge suitable holes in it.
Another original idea will set a candle in a glass filled with coffee beans.
Note!
Vases
Both floor and table vases will perfectly complement any environment. You can get by with one vase or use several, differing from each other in shape and size.
They can contain bouquets of fresh or dried flowers, branches, bamboo, various artificial decorative elements.
The vases themselves can have a smooth or textured surface, be matte or shiny.
If you are not satisfied appearance porcelain product, it can be safely painted with special paints, decorated with beads and rhinestones. With a little effort, you can create a real masterpiece.
Knitted things
Add warmth to the room can be knitted in various techniques pillows, carpets, bedspreads, napkins and tablecloths. Knitted gizmos create an atmosphere of home comfort.
Houseplants
