Master class "Drawings - scratches with a candle (wax)"
“I'll tell you about grattage.
He is of interest.
You're like a magician with a scratch
drawing the whole world miracles."
I will talk about interesting technique drawing "graffito" or GRATTAGE! This technique is interesting and accessible to both children and adults of any age.
Grattage - unusual technique drawing, translated from French means to scrape, scratch - this is the execution of a drawing with a sharp instrument, scratching paper or cardboard, filled with ink on wax. Therefore, scratching is affectionately called "Tsap-scratches"!
Material for work: a sheet of paper or cardboard, a brush (sponge, candle, oil pencils, ink (gouache), a jar of water, soap (soap solution, sharp objects for scratching, a napkin, a newspaper.
Classic scratching (black and white): rub a sheet of paper with wax (candle). Then, with a brush or sponge, apply mascara (gouache) to the surface.
Ink (gouache) sticks to oily surfaces with difficulty. To prevent the ink from collecting in drops on the wax surface, there is one trick - it is mixed with soap (soap solution).
When the ink dries, with a sharp object - a stick, a toothpick - we scratch the drawing, forming thin white strokes on a black background. The table must be covered, otherwise everything around will be strewn with black ink-wax crumbs. The work uses sharp tools to remove black paint from the surface of the cardboard, resulting in a white layer. The result is a spectacular black and white image.
You can paint over the landscape sheet not with a candle, but with egg yolk (base). The picture will turn out very bright.
Colored scratching - it can be drawn with wax or oil pencils, and then a candle is not needed.
Stage 1: paint over a sheet of paper (cardboard) oil pencils, wax crayons. (can be used colored paper or cover the sheet with watercolor, but then the drawing must be rubbed on top with a candle).
Stage 2: add to black ink (gouache) liquid soap or shampoo and with this mixture we cover the painted sheet with a brush, let it dry. It is necessary to paint over with paint so that the pencil does not shine through. You can let the paint dry and paint again.
Stage 3: the most interesting - when the black color dries, you can draw the contours - with a pencil or transfer through carbon paper. Then we take a toothpick (stick, stack, knitting needle, fork) and scratch the drawing on the ink. On a black background, a pattern is formed from thin colored strokes.
Drawing unusual materials(in this case, a candle) brings a lot of joy and develops Creative skills children.

I wish you and your children pleasant moments of creativity!
A romantic dinner by candlelight - after reading these words, an image of a couple in love immediately arises, sitting in a mysterious twilight, at a beautifully set table, on which there are lit candles, illuminating their sparkling eyes with their trembling light. Especially romantic is the combination of candles with a magical atmosphere of anticipation of the coming of the New Year, when only the light of candles and Christmas tree garlands illuminates the faces of those sitting at the table with a mysterious light. festive table. A burning candle is an important and indispensable attribute of the New Year, symbolizing the transience human life. Candle burning in new year's eve on mental level reminds us of the importance of every second lived on earth. A wonderful symbol can be depicted on new year poster, or on a homemade greeting card. It's pretty simple; so - we learn how to draw a candle for the New Year 2019 correctly.
Example #1
It is necessary to draw lines that will help us in the future. Draw 2 straight lines down, the gap between them should be about 6 centimeters. This is the width of the candle. After that, you need to draw the bottom of the candle, and the melted top at the top. It should be in the shape of an oval and slightly moved to the side.
Example #2
Now let's draw melted wax that flows down. We draw with soft contours influxes similar to waves.
Example #3
Our candle is in a candlestick, so in this step we will draw it. We draw an oval from below, and a leg for it. It is necessary so that the melted wax (paraffin) does not drip onto the table. Everything flows down to him. Next, add volume with additional uneven contours.
Example #4
At the top of the melted top, you need to draw a thread - this is our wick. It protrudes from the candle in the middle of the cylinder. A fire burns on it. Fire must be drawn like a drop of water. Then on it, a candlestick and melted wax, we will draw glare of the incident light. Suppose that it reflects light from another illuminated room.
Here is the festive candle. To complete the drawing, it can be painted with paints. At the beginning, we mentioned that it can be multi-colored. Blue, yellow, green, red. In general, speaking - any color that you wish. The wick can be painted in dark brown or black. Candlestick suitable yellow, gold or silver paint. We make the flame orange or red-orange.
Painting in pastel colors
The drawing will be on the topic of fortune telling - fortune telling. Here is a sketch of the picture that will be painted. We will use soft watercolor pencils for drawing.
So, let's begin. The edge of the candle becomes white and uneven when burned, so take white pencil and start coloring, starting with the flame. Color the tip white, closer to the wick add colors a shade darker beige yellow pink. You can see the color of the flame in other colors, so choose the colors to your liking. At first, you will have a weak pressure on the pencil, then when staining with a darker color, increase the pressure. To have rich colors.
It is necessary to draw the light diverging from the flame in the form of a halo. To do this, draw with a white pencil lines from the fire to the sides, while pressing hard near the fire and as weakly as possible to the edge. Imagine that the light dissolves in the air, the farther it is, the weaker it becomes. At the fire, the color scheme should be white, and then beige and pink.
Let's start coloring the wick in dark color. Also, the candle cylinder itself is painted from dark tones to light ones. Most light tone we will apply to the top of our candle, and darker down. Here we have selected colors: yellow and brown ocher, orange, white, light sienna.
Paint everything in your usual colors
Since the shadow of the candle also falls on the mirror, it needs to be painted in yellow. Let's apply its mirror with light movements. Also in the mirror it is necessary to show the reflection of the flame.
Next, you need to mix a few colored pencils with graphite and blend in order to more accurately show the shadows. For the rim, use a gray and brown pencil. In the place where our halo falls from the candle, the frame is almost invisible.
Useful video tutorial on drawing
Conclusion
Thus, it turns out beautiful drawing burning candle, which can be used for the festive decoration of the home for the New Year 2019. Our picture is ready. So we learned how to draw a candle with our own hands, I hope you succeed the first time.

For many millennia, flowers have personified the beauty, joy and perfection of nature in people. They give to everyone, regardless of whether you are a prince or a beggar, that beautiful world, getting into which you feel happy and loved. Therefore, people have always tried to decorate with these amazing gifts of nature not only the holidays and solemn days of their lives, but also everyday life, which, as you know, people have much more.
It seems that mother nature herself did her best and endowed us with these wonderful creatures, which for many millennia in a row bring beauty, joy into our lives, giving us a good mood and emotional health at any time of the year.
According to scientists, there are more than 270,000 varieties of flowers on earth. And each flower is beautiful and unusual in its own way and carries that piece of joy that nature has put into it to make our life brighter and a little happier.
All peoples of the world associate flowers with warmth, sun, spring and joy. And it doesn’t matter if it’s winter on the street or summer, autumn or spring. Flowers always remain symbols Have a good mood and a wonderful time of the year - spring and summer.
Each flower is shrouded in a ghostly and mysterious aura, of that magical mood that it bestows on all people without exception, be it a man or a woman, Small child or an elderly person.
We will draw a flower with a candle in combination with watercolor.
Materials:
We will need the following: watercolor paper(linen), candle
(light colors), brushes (squirrel, kolinsky No. 10-15, bristle), fabric contours.
Progress:
We arrange our sheet of paper horizontally. We outline the middle of the flower.
From the middle of the flower, draw petals similar to a chamomile with a candle and lead them to the edge of our format. The candle can be worked with a point, butt or flat. The candle leaves a trace in the form of a stroke on the surface of the paper. Closely spaced strokes form a spot. We light a candle and drip melted wax on our work in a chaotic manner.
After that, we moisten the entire sheet with a spray bottle with water and select a color palette.
We completely cover our format with warm shades of watercolor. Watercolor, due to its transparency properties, allows you to create light and airy compositions.
The main property of wax is to repel water. This property is the basis of the method of work in this technique. The combination of watercolors and candles gives a completely unexpected effect: if you walk over the wax with watercolors, then the places on paper that are not painted over with wax will be painted with paint. This technique is called mixed.
The next stage of work is to remove excess moisture from the petals of our flower.
And we compact the color between the petals. Making it brighter and more interesting.
After the work dries up, take a bristle brush and more dark shade color than on our work and apply a spray.
And at the end of our work, you can decorate our flower with fabric contours.
And now, with a sense of accomplishment, we once again look at the finished work)))
And one more thing: it will be great if you complete the work! A greenish passe-partout would be very suitable here ...)))
I wish you all good creativity and inspiration!!!

JOURNEY INTO HISTORY The history of the invention of the candle can be traced back to the heyday of the Roman Empire, useful inventions. It was the Romans who first began to use the wick in the manufacture of candles, with which they illuminated their homes and temples, and also used them to move through the dark streets of cities and wood.
A JOURNEY TO HISTORY Wax candles do not produce soot and bad smell they burn brightly and evenly. But fat is easier to obtain in large quantities than wax, so wax candles were expensive and were used only in the homes of wealthy citizens, the nobility and the royal court, this is how the history of wax candles began.
TECHNOLOGY OF MANUFACTURING CANDLES They took a twisted thread - the future wick, twice as long as a candle and tied it to a stick, folding it in half and weaving the ends. On one stick there were several blanks for candles. Next, these wicks were dipped into the melted lard, taken out and allowed to cool. This procedure was repeated several times until candles of the desired thickness were obtained.
MODERN HISTORY OF CANDLES The mass production of paraffin made it possible to make cheap candles, since it cost much less than wax and similar substances. At the same time, paraffin burns as brightly as wax, without emitting an unpleasant pungent odor.
LESSON EQUIPMENT You will need: - candles - White paper- watercolors - brush - oilcloth (newspaper) on the table Creative task: 1. Cover the table with newspaper. 2. Spread a sheet of white paper and, pressing hard, make a drawing with a candle. 3. Paint on top of this drawing with watercolors
What you need to know! Watercolor paints GRIP or soak into the paper, but not where it's covered in wax. Watercolors are held onto paper by a force called LINK. But this did not happen where wax is present, because there is a great force acting between it and the paper, which is called STICKING. Game 1. You can draw several different candles with a candle. simple drawings and offer babies 2-4 years old with the help of watercolor paints find out what is drawn. 2. Children can draw pictures on their own with a candle and develop them with paint.
