Sooner or later, everyone breaks into romance, some so much that they suddenly find themselves on a romantic date in an expensive restaurant, where common sense would not even look. For men, romance, as it turns out, is an expensive pleasure, and no one is trying to turn it into a hobby. Women will rejoice at any such attack, even the smallest one. And although the idea of romance has fled in all possible directions over time, some elements still remain classics of the genre, such as candles. It is about them that we will talk, we will learn how to draw candles in stages. Candles are figurative products made from wax, pig fat or chemical waste, designed to keep the fire going and save electricity. They raise the level of mysticism and pathos in the house by several levels, and with a good candlestick they create the illusion of the Middle Ages. Other candles are used in more delicate matters, with which only an enema is familiar. Like the aforementioned enema, most chronic, static and dynamic diseases can be treated with such a candle, except for congenital curvature.
Eyewitnesses claim:
- A candle is not just a product of production, especially the Indians know about it. North America, in the ocean near which a specific candle fish swims, which you can simply dry, put in a wick - and voila, it burns like a real one;
- The phrase The game is not worth the candle appeared in the field of gamblers, since earlier underground games were played in secret and with only candles, and if the gain was very small, it was equated to the price of lighting equipment;
- At first, the subject was made exclusively from fat, which stank very unpleasantly and gave too dim light;
- looks nicer and more fun;
- The subject is very closely connected with the church, where it is actively used in all kinds of rituals.

Candle is an essential element New Year's holiday. This is a special product made of wax or paraffin with a thread stretched in the middle. The thread is lit at the top of the candle. Wax or paraffin gradually melts, the thread also burns out gradually. Thus, a candle burns, giving us a beautiful dim light. Candles make the atmosphere of our holiday unforgettable and exciting. Who doesn't love New Year with a Christmas tree, tangerines, gifts, candles and crackers! Today, craftsmen create very beautiful candles, which are truly a luxury item and a work of art. They give them unusual shapes, make them in the form of different figures. Modern candles are dyed in different colors and flavored with different fillers. So, we begin to learn how to draw a candle on a Christmas tree, under a Christmas tree or on a festive table.
Stage 1. Draw the auxiliary lines of our candle. These are two straight lines, parallel to each other, drawn at a distance of about 5-7 cm (the width of your candle depends on this distance: it will be narrower or wider). Then, below these straight lines, we begin to round the base of the candle with curved lines towards each other. At the top, with a smooth line, we will depict the hot top of our candle. This is a melted oval of irregular shape, shifted to one edge.
Stage 2. Now we will show candle streaks. When the candle burns, the wax or paraffin melts and floats down beautifully. smooth lines, forming bizarre growths, streaks in the form of frozen waves, drops or jets. Let's show these candle streaks with beautiful gentle lines falling down.
Stage 3. It's time to arrange a candle stand - her candlestick. At the bottom of the base of the candle, draw a rounded oval-plate, under it the leg of the candlestick. It is on the candlestick that streaks tend to flow during the burning of candles.
Stage 4. Now, with additional curved lines, we outline the contours of the candlestick and the lines of the candle itself, giving this object volume and texture.
Stage 5. At the top of the candle, draw a wick - this is a thick, harsh thread. It sticks out of the substance of the candle upwards, and at the end of it a flame burns. Let's draw a flame in a teardrop shape. It is directed upward.
Stage 6. Now let's mark the lines of the so-called light reflections on the candle drips, on the candle itself and on the candlestick. Imagine that some source of light is also directed at our candle and it is reflected on its parts.
Stage 7. Well, at the end we will decorate our candle with different colors. As we have already said here, now the colors of candles can be very diverse. And white, and red, and pink, and orange, and blue, and blue, and green ... Well, in short, all the colors that are possible. Candlestick can be painted in gold or silver. The wick is always dark, usually black. Well, the candle flame itself, of course, is yellow-orange, bright and hot! Happy New Year and Happy Holidays!

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 a 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.
Painting unusual materials(in this case, a candle) brings a lot of joy and develops Creative skills children.
Children drawings:
I'm sure you will succeed. If you try, you won't stop at one drawing.
I wish you and your children pleasant moments of creativity!
