Plasticine is one of the favorite materials for children's creativity. With it, you can sculpt original crafts and even create drawings. Plasticine painting is an unconventional art technique, which consists in drawing with plasticine on cardboard or other dense base. Finished work can be flat, semi-volume or volumetric. Being engaged in plasticineography, the child develops fine motor skills, the movements of the fingers are differentiated. This is a good preparation for learning to write.

Plasticine painting technique

The technique of plasticine painting is a bit like oil painting - colored plasticine is rolled into balls and applied to cardboard with strokes. The young artist develops his color perception and sense of harmony. For good work, you need to choose a high-quality plasticine of the appropriate type.

The assortment is great: there are more dense varieties, and there are soft, smooth, easily melting varieties. In the sets you can find any palette: both from basic colors, and including many shades. If you are using plasticine as paint, you can mix the two colors to achieve the desired tone.

When working on plasticine paintings, you need to thinly roll out all the folds, inequalities. If somewhere the layer is thick, uneven, the excess can be removed using stacks. Strokes on a plasticine panel can be different. It is not necessary to work with your fingers, you can use tools - stacks, a knife, a toothpick, a roller, syringes with and without needles, sticks for indentation. To make a picture from plasticine, you need to prepare a base, and fix the details of the desired shape and color on it.

Planar modeling

A small child can be taught to make pictures from plasticine according to the same principle as paint. The first stage will be flat modeling - the creation of paintings of varying degrees of relief. There are forms with a protruding and in-depth image:

• High relief (the image protrudes strongly above the surface).
• Bas-relief (details protrude slightly above the base).
• Counter-relief (an image deepened into the surface of the base: the drawing is scratched or pressed on a plane with a stack, stick).

So you can depict a picture previously outlined with a contour on a cardboard or glass base. The child can wield a finger, learning to calculate the force of clicks and strokes, or use improvised tools. In kindergartens, they offer to depict, for example, recognizable plots from your favorite fairy tales or cartoons using the technique of plane sculpting, or to make plasticine comics.

Volumetric paintings from plasticine

When your child learns how to make simple flat images, you can try to make a three-dimensional picture, similar to a work of art. The essence is not so difficult: you need to separately sculpt the details of the work (wood, fruits, animals), and then fix them on the surface.

Parts can be of any shape and size. A variety of techniques are used for their manufacture: rolling, flattening, rubbing, smoothing, pulling the part away from the general shape. It must be remembered that if you are going to place plasticine drawings under the glass, the material may shrink and the work will lose its original volume.

DIY plasticine paintings

Drawing with plasticine is well suited both for independent study with a child, and for labor lessons for elementary school children or exercises for fine motor skills in kindergarten. When working, the child learns to do both large and completely small parts (eyes, leaves). For sculpting you will need:

• Base (you can use glass, unnecessary discs, a sheet of plywood).
• A board for rolling out plasticine and for sculpting parts.
• Knives for cutting and applying small parts.
• A simple pencil.
• Water for occasional wetting of hands.

First, you need to draw on the basis of a pencil drawing a template for the future picture (field, green forest). For him, you need to rub small pieces of plasticine with your fingers. Parts can be formed from round or elongated pieces of different sizes. You can use a separate stencil for each part. Then they must be carefully pressed into the background.

If you get irregularities, smooth them out with your fingers, previously soaked in water. In addition, remember the rules for composing a composition: those details that will be in the foreground should stick out more than others and be made more clearly (for example, bright flowers, stones on the seashore, animals). Fasten them on top of the rest of the parts (in the last can) and add some kind of pattern applied with a needle or toothpick.

On cardboard

A picture of plasticine on cardboard for children can be the first step towards making more complex crafts. It is not necessary to buy special material, you can use, for example, cut sheets from a shoe box or household appliances. It is recommended to cover the finished painting with varnish so that it does not get dusty.

The work will require the same materials as for any other sculpting technique. Remember that it is more difficult to wipe off excess stains from cardboard, so keep napkins ready. The step-by-step algorithm of actions is as follows:

1. We put a drawing on the cardboard (you can buy a ready-made stencil with a picture in a special store, then fill it with plasticine).
2. We make the background of the picture. First, let's define the background color. Small pieces are pinched off from the block and applied to the surface in the form of strokes.
3. We rub the plasticine strokes with our fingers within the boundaries of the picture.

On paper

To create a picture from plasticine on paper, it is better to choose a dense base, because too abrupt movement can tear a thin sheet. For the first works, it is recommended to start with the simplest paintings, for example, kids will like the image of a cheerful rainbow, white clouds and a bright sun in the sky, green grass with cornflowers or daisies. For the first works of a preschooler, it is better to choose a small size (about a quarter of an A4 sheet).

Pinch off small pieces from the bar and apply to the base in accordance with the plan. In this case, different sculpting methods are used - rolling or smoothing, smearing, sometimes pinching, flattening or flowing from one color to another is required. If your idea involves a clear drawing of a large number of small objects, a medical syringe without a needle will come in handy. They use it like this:

1. Put a piece of plasticine inside the syringe, gently heat it (on a hot battery or in a cup of warm water);
2. Squeeze out with thin threads (if you want thicker, use a pastry syringe).
3. Soft transitions of shades can be obtained if you first mix the necessary shades of plasticine in your hands, and only then load them into the syringe. Do not mix more than two colors at the same time.

On glass

Plasticine applications on glass are an easy-to-perform, but dangerous kind of creativity. You must follow the safety rules so as not to get hurt. To create an applique you will need:

• Multi-colored plasticine.
• Frame.
• Black ink or black marker.
• A sheet of paper with a printed pattern.
• Cotton wool and alcohol.

Since few people succeed in creating pictures for plasticineography on glass the first time, it is better to look at the master class on the Internet step by step with the child in advance, and then follow the recommendations:

1. Find drawings (it is better to choose simple black and white). Remember that the younger the child, the larger the details should be.
2. Remove the glass from the photo frame.
3. Degrease the glass by wiping with cotton wool and alcohol.
4. Place the printed sketch under glass.
5. Outline the outline with black marker on the glass.
6. Get the drawing.
7. Determine what colors you will use. For children preschool age the task can be simplified - leave a colored drawing under the glass. So the child will see what color the plasticine should be taken.
8. Separating small pieces of plasticine of the desired color, stick them on the glass, rub without going beyond the outline of the drawing. The more the material is rubbed (into a thin layer), the weaker the pigment will be.

You can choose a method of work: either first fill in places of one color with plasticine, and then move on to others, or first make small elements (separately sculpt the eyes of the beast, leaves, small flowers or a ladybug), then go to the main drawing from plasticine.

When the entire base is filled with plasticine, you will need the help of an adult. The picture must be turned over with the front side facing you, to examine and correct the flaws (gaps between pieces of plasticine, going beyond the contour). Then wipe the glass again with alcohol without touching the drawing, and insert the work into the frame.

Literature

Currently, teachers, experts in the field of early development, insist that the development of intellectual and mental processes must begin with the development of hand movements, and in particular with the development of movements in the fingers of the hand. This is due to the fact that the development of the hand plays an important role in the formation of the brain, its cognitive abilities, and the formation of speech. This means that in order for the child and his brain to develop, it is necessary to train his hands. It is this in the future that will give him the opportunity to easily learn new things, be it foreign language, writing or math. The development of fine motor skills is also important because the entire future life of the child will require the use of precise, coordinated movements of the hand and fingers, which are necessary to dress, draw and write, as well as perform a variety of different householdand training activities.

The problem of the development of fine motor skills, manual skill is largely solved in the classroom for visual activity, since it is the visual activity that contributes to the development of sensorimotor skills - consistency in the work of the eye and hand, improving coordination of movements, flexibility, strength, accuracy in performing actions, correction of fine motor skills of fingers hands. Children master the skills and abilities of working with tools (in drawing - a pencil and a brush, in applications - scissors and a brush, in modeling - a stack). In these classes, children develop the ability to operate the tool (of course, if the child is taught to hold and work tools correctly).

Plasticine painting is one of the areas of visual activity. The name speaks for itself - this is the creation of paintings using plasticine.

Plasticine has become known to the world since the 19th century, when Franz Kolba and William Harbut received patents in Germany (for the “Plastilin” model mass in 1880) and in Great Britain (for the non-drying clay “Plasticine” in 1899)

William Harbuth was an art school teacher. In 1897, he developed a material that would not dry out when students sculpted. Plasticine was originally used for educational purposes.

In 1900, Harburt opened his factory, where the industrial production of plasticine, still gray in color, began. Later it was produced in four colors. The factory worked until the fire of 1968, after the production was moved to Thailand.

Franz Kolb's plasticine can still be found on the shelves as “Munich art plasticine”.

But the real hero, the real inventor of plasticine, is Joe McVicker, a pharmacist from Cincinnati. He, in fact, did not intend to invent anything, but released a simple window putty, a tool for cleaning wallpaper from stains. Fortunately for McVicker, his sister, who worked in a kindergarten, began to use it for sculpting instead of clay.

Later, the Cincinnati Board of Education mandated all schools to use a "non-toxic wallpaper cleaner" in class. And in 1955, large department stores drew attention to McVicker's invention. The light mass was more plastic, did not dry out, and soon the progenitor of modern plasticine was swept clean from the shelves. McVeeker became a millionaire at the age of 27, and we got the opportunity to create in color.

Plasticine - from the Greek word, translated - blind. Previously, plasticine was made from clay powder and substances that prevent it from drying out: wax, tallow, ozokerite (a mineral similar to beeswax), petroleum jelly.Currently, in the production of plasticine, they also use high molecular weight polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, rubbers and other high-tech materials. Painted in various colors. Serves for making figures sketches for sculptural works, small , works of small forms.

Currently, several types of plasticine are produced. In addition to sculptural plasticine, which sculptors use in their work, the consumer is offered many types of ornamental plasticine.

Ball plasticine. A distinctive feature of this plasticine is that it consists of small soft balls of foam rubber, which are connected by thin glue threads. Coarse-grained ball plasticine is produced on a glycerin basis. It is completely safe for health. It is very easy to sculpt from such material. The balls massage the fingers intensively, the colors mix very easily. Ball plasticine is an excellent tool for developing motor skills.

Bouncing plasticine. This material is distinguished by the greatest softness and plasticity. The most interesting thing about this plasticine is that, when it cools down, it becomes like rubber and easily springs and bounces off any surfaces. You can then play with crafts made from such plasticine, as with a ball or "jumper".

- "Gum for hands" ( from English HandGum ) - this plasticine can be called the most high-tech and modern material, it is able to take any shape. It simultaneously possesses a number of properties: it can stretch, tear, be solid and liquid, can change color, magnetise and glow. It is not oily, so it does not stain clothes or hands. It can be washed. It is non-toxic and hypoallergenic.

"Classic plasticine" - Designed for modeling and modeling in children's art. Plasticine does not stick to hands, has bright, juicy colors that easily mix with each other. Packed in a cardboard box. Stack included. Shelf-life Unlimited.

"Wax plasticine" - does not smell, pleasant to the touch, very flexible, inexpensive, recommended by teachers, a wide variety of colors, soft, does not stick to the hands, safe for children. Shortage when stored in an open box dries out

"Floating plasticine" - Floating plasticine from is a unique quality. All colors can be easily mixed with each other. Easily softens in hands, but does not stick to them. Easily washed off with water and does not sink in water. Complies with European standards and is absolutely safe for children, does not contain harmful impurities and dyes.

"Fluorescent wax plasticine" - used for sculpting figurines and small decorative items. It is very soft, bright, flexible, does not stick and does not stain hands, has unique properties - it glows in the dark. 8 colors. Simulation stack included. Packaging - cardboard box. Shelf-life Unlimited.

"Sculptural plasticine" - used for more serious sculpting tasks. It holds its shape better, allows to work out rather small details of the sculpture. Plasticine is distinguished by its special elasticity. This property allows you to use it for sculptural miniatures and modeling work. Does not stain or stick to hands and special materials used in the work. The shelf life of plasticine is not limited: it retains its properties for a long time, so it can be used for many years. For the manufacture of sculptural plasticine, a waxy mass is used with the addition of mineral pigments and fillers.

"Edible plasticine" - This is an unusual plasticine, it is created on the basis of edible products, it is absolutely safe for babies and does not stick to hands!Plasticine is made on the basis of natural edible products, so even if a child swallows it, nothing bad will happen. Ingredients: flour, water and other food ingredients. Plasticine hardens in the air, which allows you to make your favorite figures, and if you are tired of the toy, you can put it in a jar, fill it with water, and you will get ordinary plasticine again.

The advantages of plasticine for children's creativity

Plastic. Thanks to plasticine plasticine, it is possible to sculpt an article of any complexity, from a primitive sausage to a complex multi-figured composition.

Possibility of adjustment. The missing part can simply be sculpted again, without the need to fix the rest of the product. This is very important for children's creativity, when a child's psyche, which has not yet matured, sometimes cannot withstand long painstaking work.

Safety ... Due to its texture, plasticine is one of the safest materials for creativity. No scissors are needed for sculpting. Working with him, it is impossible to get dirty, get a splinter, hit or get burned.

Development of fine motor skills. Plasticine develops fine motor skills of the hands. A child's hand development and speech development are closely related. Fine motor skills of the hands and correct, precise articulation of sounds are dependent on each other. Thus, the higher the physical activity, the better the speech is developed.

Development of personal qualities. Working with plasticine teaches children attentiveness and accuracy, promotes the development of imagination, develops spatial thinking, develops perseverance and meticulousness, and in general, this list can be continued for a long time.

For plasticine painting, it is best to use sculptural plasticine, classic, wax. Plasticine painting - drawing a picture with plasticine. It is performed in the technique of bas-relief, high-relief, plasticine painting.

Bas-relief variety a convex relief in which the image protrudes above the background plane by no more than half the volume.

If more - the relief is called (high relief). a common type of decoration of architectural structures and decorative items of all times, known from the era : first bas-reliefs, high-reliefs - deeply hewn or hewn ... Bas-reliefs are also often placed on monuments on , , , .

For working with children on plasticine painting, the technique of plasticine is best suited.

Plasticineography- painting made on a hard surface with plasticine. Plasticnography - two semantic roots of "graphics" - drawing, "plasticine" - the material with which they work.

This type of activity involves the image of semi-volumetric objects, using unconventional techniques and materials. For example, decorating the surface with beads, plant seeds, natural material. In some cases, in the technique of plasticinography, a combination of types of activity is performed, which leads to the creation of original works. For example, a landscape is graphically depicted on a flat surface, and foreground details are depicted using plasticine.

Main material - plasticine, and the main tool in plasticineography is the hand, or rather, both hands, therefore, the level of skill depends on owning one's own hands. This technique is good in that it is available to children of primary preschool age, allows you to quickly achieve the desired result and brings a certain novelty to the creativity of children, makes it more fun and interesting, which is very important for working with preschoolers.

Classes in plasticine represent a great opportunity for development and learning.

Classes in plasticine painting contribute to the development of such mental processes as: attention, memory, thinking, as well as the development of creative abilities. Plasticinography contributes to the development of perception, spatial orientation, sensorimotor coordination of children, that is, those school-significant functions that are necessary for successful schooling. Children learn to plan their work and bring it to completion.

Engaging in plasticinography, the child develops hand skill, strengthens the strength of the hands, the movements of both hands become more coordinated, and the movements of the fingers are differentiated, the child prepares the hand for mastering such a complex skill as writing. All this is facilitated by a good muscle load of the fingers.

One of the undoubted advantages of plasticine painting classes with preschool children is the integration of educational areas. The topics of the classes are closely intertwined with the life of children, with the activities that they carry out in other classes (to familiarize themselves with the world and nature, the development of speech, fiction, mathematics, etc.).

Cognitive activity is realized. All the selected material for classes with children, has a practical orientation, relies as much as possible on their life experience, helps to highlight the essence of the features of the objects and phenomena under study, activates images and ideas stored in long-term memory. They allow him to refine the knowledge he has already mastered, expand it, apply the first variants of generalization, and enrich his vocabulary. In the process of playing up the plot and performing practical actions with plasticine, a continuous conversation is conducted with the children. The play organization of children's activities stimulates their speech activity, causes speech imitation, the formation and activation of the dictionary, the child's understanding of the speech of others.

Work technique

The very technique of applying plasticine can be different. Each artist has his own individual techniques in this regard, his own tthe so-called style, or handwriting.

Plasticine can be applied with large juicy strokes thatthe desired shape and volume. Large colorful strokes create an illusion undervisibility, flickering, the image is slightly embossed, which looks very attractive.

there isanother way to draw with plasticine. But it looks more like a decorative technique, as it resembles a cross between appliqué and painting. To draw in this way, you need to sculpt either partially or completely all the constituent details of the future image, applying them to the plasticine "canvas".Before starting work, the cardboard base must be primed, in the conditions kindergarten the best way is the lamination with scotch tape, because on the smooth surface of the base, plasticine lays down very easily, children's fingers do not experience painful friction against the surface of cardboard or other base.

You can take glass as the basis for the work, but for younger preschoolers, such a basis can be dangerous.

Before lamination of the base, a drawing must be applied to the cardboard, an image that will be painted over with plasticine. Elder

preschoolers can carry out work by design without prior drawing.

The work can be done with sculptural clay or colored. If the work is done with plasticine of the same color (sculptural), then the craft is better done using the bas-relief technique. First, a drawing is applied to the base, then the background of the drawing is laid with plasticine, then the drawing itself is performed. The drawing should stand out with its relief over the background. The finished work can be left in one color, you can paint with paints. To do this, the painting needs to be covered with an overgrowing mixture; toothpaste is very suitable (non-toxic, safe for children). After the applied layer of the mixture has dried, the work can be painted with any paints you wish.

To complete the picture with colored plasticine, you can use the following techniques: moisten your fingers in water, then the craft acquires smoothness, the effect of ceramics, heating the plasticine in a plastic syringe (cream syringe), the plasticine acquires a semi-liquid state, squeezing the softened plasticine with a syringe, you can get graceful lines, reliefs ...

When performing crafts, you can use not only hands, but a variety of stacks.

After finishing work, be sure to wash your hands with soap, grease your hands with baby cream.

During work, it is imperative to monitor the lighting in the room, the posture of the children, the duration of the lesson, and do moving physical exercises.

The duration of the lesson must correspond to the age requirements.

Plasticine painting has a huge prosa torus for the imagination of little artists,provides timely, comprehensivethe development of a child's personality from an early age taking into account his individual and psychophysical characteristics,actively helps each child in mastering age-appropriate skills and knowledge, and teaches to systematically and competently analyze the results.

Explanatory note

Plasticine drawing - more and more common the new kind painting and this way of depicting contributes to the creative development and a variety of artistic expressive methods. Each new creative undertaking for a person is not just a skill, skills, experience: it is also a way of developing mental activity, according to the relationship "hand - brain".

Factors for the development of an artist are constant practice, improvement of skills, bold experiment, search and creativity in the process of activity. The combination of these qualities, in the manufacture of plasticine relief work, can contribute to the creation of new, unique works of art.

Why is this technique interesting? First, its novelty. On the other hand, such material allows you to find new solutions in the image. Available material, plastic, adhesive, soft, keeps its shape. And most importantly: this material allows you to transfer part of yourself to the canvas of your works, transfer part of your heat.

Its basis is a combination of hard surfaces and plasticine, creating an image by applying plasticine to the surface using a special technique, using auxiliary materials uncharacteristic for painting.

Working in the technique of plasticine painting is very interesting. She develops finger motor skills, accuracy of movements, imagination, abstract thinking, attention, artistic skills in working with plastic materials.

Course of the lesson

A bit of history

The method of drawing with plasticine appeared relatively recently, but immediately gained its popularity not only among children, but also among adults. It is believed that this type of drawing was invented by the Englishman James May, thanks to which the popular plasticine flower exhibition was created in the UK. A little later, an artist from Canada, Barbara Reid, used the plasticine drawing technique to illustrate a children's story.

The technique of creating paintings from plasticine is defined by the concept of "plasticine" appeared not so long ago, it has two semantic roots: "graphics" - to create, depict, and the first half of the word "plasticine" means the material with which the execution of the plan is carried out. The principle of this technique is to create a stucco painting depicting more or less convex, semi-volumetric objects on a horizontal surface.

Types of plasticine:

The following types of plasticine are produced; paraffin, wax, fluorescent. When working with plasticine, it is necessary to take into account its properties: softness, plasticity, stickiness, the ability to soften under the influence of heat, fragility, the ability to maintain the given shape, water resistance.

Techniques and techniques for drawing with plasticine

1 way: transfer of invoice

Plasticine painting gives a huge scope for the artist's imagination, from the type of applying plasticine strokes and their texture to choosing a color scheme that visually looks unusually fresh, juicy and rich.

The surface of plasticine strokes can look different. The texture itself can resemble silk, glass or ceramics if you try to make it smooth and shiny. To do this, you need to slightly moisten your fingers in water before smoothing the plasticine surface with your fingers. But only slightly so that the cardboard base does not get wet in any way. You can make the surface of the painting a little rough. For this, various methods of applying relief points, strokes, stripes, convolutions, or some curly lines to the surface of the plasticine image are used.

You can work not only with your fingers, but also with stacks. These are special auxiliary tools.

Transfer of invoice

Method 2: work on glass, performed using a contour or template.

Prepare the glass, wipe it with a napkin - degrease it so that there are no fingerprints. Otherwise, mascara will not fit well in these places. Putting the sketch under the glass, carefully translate the drawing as accurately as possible using ink or a marker. It must be borne in mind that in this case it will turn out in a mirror image. The carcasses need to dry out a little. During this pause, you can start preparing the material: choose the color of the plasticine and mix its shades for the drawing. We lay out the resulting pieces and analyze how well they combine with each other and set off each other. The process of filling the surface is very painstaking and if you fill in one large piece at once most of the drawing, the work loses its unusual appearance and beauty. Therefore, it is advisable to apply plasticine in very small pieces with a pea, with each subsequent piece with a slightly changed shade. Then gradually knead them over the surface with your finger. Keep in mind that when rubbing plasticine, sometimes unusual stains are obtained, which only add even more beauty and sometimes emphasize the shape. Follow the outline of the drawing and do not go beyond it. It also happens that a poorly chosen color was applied, it is easy to remove it with a stack and apply a new one. The practice of performing such works has shown that it is better to start filling the glass surface with the main elements, and then - the background.

Instead of a sketch, you can use a template - a postcard or a color picture. We put it under the glass and do the job in the same way. The colors and outlines are already in the picture.

Template and getting started on glass

Finished work

Method 3: scratchboard.

A thin layer of plasticine is applied to the cardboard, leveled with a stack or knife, and the drawing is scratched with a toothpick, needle, stack, as in the scratchboard technique.

Method 4: work done with "peas"

Cardboard is taken, the outline of the drawing is applied. The desired colors of plasticine are mixed. Peas are rolled from plasticine and laid out with a pattern on a primed or clean cardboard surface, filling the entire drawing.

"Peas"

Method 5: plasticine painting "from a syringe".

You will need: - plasticine - album sheets - a medical syringe (without a needle) - a container with hot water. Now we need to make the flagella. To do this, we disassemble the syringe (pull out the piston from the cylinder). We make a "sausage" from a piece of plasticine and place it in the syringe barrel, insert the piston into place and slightly press down the plasticine. We do the same with plasticine of a different color. Now we put the syringes with plasticine (horizontally) in a container with hot water for 2-3 minutes (so that the plasticine becomes soft). Then we take the syringes out of the water, press on the plunger and squeeze out the flagella. We lay out the flagella on cardboard in accordance with the picture.

Painting "from a syringe"

Method 6: work on cardboard, performed using "strokes".

We put a drawing on the cardboard. We begin to apply strokes from the background. We roll the flagella thicker, smear it with a finger to the middle, then the center of the drawing element is filled. Apply strokes as in oil painting... We use mixed plasticine for a larger range of colors.

Method 7: relief.

We put the drawing on cardboard. We sculpt the background from plasticine, use the technique of "strokes". We sculpt the details we need and lay out our composition. In this case, these are flowers.

Stages of the work "Home miracle", using different techniques.
Stage 1.

Draw a sketch.

Stage 2.

We perform the background. We sculpt the background using the "strokes" technique. We try to convey chiaroscuro. In our picture, the light falls from the left. We mix the desired colors of plasticine. We took white + blue in different proportions. It turned out light blue, blue and dark blue. We carry out a vertical plane. Apply the strokes vertically. Apply the strokes horizontally on the horizontal plane, taking the colors a lighter tone (adding more white).

Affordable material, a little patience and now a new masterpiece is ready! The original picture made of plastin will decorate the interior and will be a wonderful gift.

Ordinary plasticine, familiar to everyone from childhood, can be used not only for simple crafts, but also for original decor. To create volumetric pictures from plasticine with your own hands is no more difficult than sculpting bunnies and flowers. This master class is designed for beginners, so feel free to get to work, even if you first hear about a new technique. The panel is based on plastic, but it is quite possible to notice it with a flat dish, a piece of plastic or laminated cardboard.

What you need to sculpt a panel from plasticine

In order to make an original picture from plasticine according to the proposed master class, prepare:

• an ordinary plate;
• children's plasticine;
• a pen (preferably not writing);
• stack (in a box with plasticine);
• a plate for plasticine.

Technique of work and step by step instructions

Now proceed to the step-by-step technique - a picture of plasticine will definitely turn out if you carefully follow the instructions.

Soften black plasticine in your hands, about half a piece. Bring it to a very soft state. Tearing off small pieces from the softened plasticine, put them on a plate and stretch with your first finger. Apply it evenly, not in a thick layer, getting the background of the future panel.


When the background is ready, come up with a drawing or take any picture as a basis. Use a stack to paint the sketch onto the plasticine background. First outline the outlines of flowers and leaves, and then draw all the petals.


To prevent the picture from turning out to be monochromatic, experiment with the colors of the plasticine. By connecting them to each other, you will get any desired shades. In this way, mix blue and white and prepare different shades. of blue color: light blue and blue.


The work always starts with the main elements - large flowers. The main element of this technique is the smear. It is done with the little finger of the right hand.
Roll up small balls of light blue and light blue. Connect them together into one ball and place them on the base of the picture - the beginning of the petal. Press down slightly with your little finger and pull towards you. Pull not to the end of the petal (as shown). Without reaching the end, tear your finger off the base, lifting it up. The top of the petal should be thicker, and the bottom, due to the fact that you raised your finger at the end, thinner.


The same strokes, repeating clearly in the picture, lay in the upper part of the flower. Then continue with the bottom of the flower. If the petals are not even, but slightly curved, also with your finger, creating strokes, slightly round them to the left or right, as required by the drawing. After completing the complex of strokes of the upper middle and lower part, you will only have an empty center.


For the middle, prepare two colors of plasticine - blue and light blue. Tear off small pieces, twist between the first and second fingers and lay these balls on the base tightly to each other, pressing down slightly with your finger. In this case, the balls must be of different sizes.

First lay out the center of the middle with light blue balls, fill the rest of the space with blue balls. At the junction of the lower and middle petals, also, only in balls bigger size, create a rounded path. Following the picture, create two of these flowers.


Having mastered the technique of strokes a little, between the large flowers (picture up and down) create two flower halves with centers.


Mix a little purple with white and soften to get a light purple shade, it is needed for small flowers from dots. The picture will be located like this - large flowers will rush up, and purple flowers will be under large ones and on the sides of the lower half-flower.

Roll 9 small balls, arrange them in a circle (according to the picture). Take a stack, place it in the middle of the ball, press down and pull. A smear should appear. Make the same 8 more strokes. The lilac flower of the dots is ready, only the middle remains. Make 2 of these flowers.


For the middle, roll thin white and blue sausages out of plasticine. This sausage is called a shoulder. Twist the tight white collar, then continue with the blue one. This is the middle of the purple flower. Carefully lift the circle with a stack and put the middle in the flower in place. Press down lightly.


There should be triple leaves just above the purple flowers. Their outlines are drawn. Use the same strokes, but when you prepare a ball for a smear, press it down on one edge, make it sharp. Lay and smudge like a normal smear. Form a piece of paper. Create such a shamrock. Decorate the middle with finishing dots of different sizes (thicker from below, thinner up). These pieces of paper are blue.


The bottom of the plasticine painting is mostly ready. Go upstairs. On the sides of the upper half-flower, you need to create two small dahlia flowers. Make the shade of plasticine lighter, for example, blue with light blue. To make multi-colored petals, balls that are prepared for strokes, mix or make the main color, and add lighter on the side.
Stretching the stroke will create a base color with a slight tint to the one you added to the side. According to the drawing, lay out two even central strokes, on opposite sides, along a stroke with a slightly rounded shape. And the extreme ones - completely round. Add the bottom petals.


The next step is small flowers of blue-white dots. They are located between the dahlias. Mix blue with white, tear off pieces, make balls and then using the technique of making a purple flower.


You will get such a mini-masterpiece at this stage of creating a picture from plasticine with your own hands.


From blue-white flowers from dots upwards, create a blue-white semi-flower from five strokes. Then take the ball white, slightly press down on the base, forming the middle. Make holes along the edges of the center with a handle.


The last of the flowers. Above the central floor flower, using a combination of white and a little light blue plasticine, create such a flower with strokes. At the junction of the strokes, place a small piece of a bead and puncture it with a pen.


The remaining leaves are a combination of light purple and light blue. They are on the sides of the central half-flower, just above one of the dahlias. Follow the technique of the previous sharp-nosed leaves, only they are much smaller in size. Place a collar in the center of the sheet and squeeze holes in it with a pen.


Decorate the dahlias with dots, fix them with a handle that forms a hole in the dot. This will be their middle.


The main details are ready. Only the decoration elements remained. Roll out the collar, put it in a curl between the blue trefoil, which is at the bottom of the picture. Do the same at the top of the picture - at the top central flower and side leaves.


The volumetric picture from plasticine is ready. If there is a lot of space left, cover it with dots of different sizes. Make sure that the colors and composition are not disturbed.

The picture should be a coupon. At the bottom of the picture, blue tones prevail, smoothly turning into light and almost white tones at the top.

The master class of plasticine painting was prepared by Tatyana Bulat specially for the Internet magazine "Women's Hobbies".

Here they are, the first, protecting, protecting from the whole world the embraces of the mother, then light friendly pats on the shoulder, and now the timid gentle touches of the beloved - all these happy moments are “made by hand”. And even in those moments when emotions overwhelm us, eyes do not find a place for themselves, and words get stuck, they come to the rescue - “speaking”, comforting, encouraging hands. What we touch gets the imprint of our emotions. The same applies to painting. Doesn't the artist transmit his entire self through the brush - from the peculiarities of color perception to the philosophy of his life?

11 years ago I realized that painting for the sake of which the killing of animals is carried out is not my art. Artistic brush manufacturers, when I asked about the production of squirrel brushes, answered that they use tails delivered as "waste" from fur factories. That is, the tortured corpses are "refined" to tassels.

You are standing in the park, looking around, clutching the coveted nut in your hand. Are you waiting for when, when a ginger animal will jump out of the green of the branches? Appeared, looks around, does not run up close. And now, having performed a dance of fear and curiosity, a little furry creature suddenly ... Jumps into your hand. The heart stops. Here it is, a fluffy cloud, sitting: the palm feels the cold skin and thin claws of the paws. Diligently and quickly chews the nut, and the black grapes of the eyes look at you trustingly: "Isn't there still a nut in store ?!" And this is a miracle, fragile and funny ... Kill in order to paint with a dead squirrel still alive ?!

I decided for myself that I did not want to be attached to the chain of murder, even the last, decisive link. In the age of nanotechnology and smartphones, to kill an animal in order for a preschooler to furiously smear a couple of circles on paper with watercolor? So that in a month the unusable brush is thrown away, and without thinking that it is innocent in the garbage and a ruined life is not needed?

You can throw it away and kill it with your hands, just as you can save with your hands. I don't use brushes for painting, i paint with my fingertips and plasticine.

Someone will find it ridiculous that "children's" material can be used in such a pathetic and important matter as painting. I have been creating in this technique for the 12th year, and during this time I have listened to a lot of strange comments about plasticine. Someone wanted to test the paintings with a lighter, someone wanted to freeze them in the refrigerator: most people thought that plasticine was not durable, and therefore it was imperative to prove to me that my choice was untenable. But, alas, ill-wishers did not succeed: plasticine does not lose color over time, does not dry out and does not react to weather changes. At this point, I'm not talking about paintings that are created by applying to cardboard without closing the work. If you leave a painting in the open air, without sealing, then somewhere in 5-6 years it may dry out, moreover, it will be difficult to clean it from the accumulated dust.

The technology of my work is putting plasticine on glass or plastic, and then closing the work with the same plastic or thick cardboard. My very first works are kept in the workshop: they are also pleasing to the eye, and although they are already 10-11 years old, they have not changed at all.

So, what are the advantages of plasticine as a material for painting:

1. The finished shades you have created are stored (without drying out!) For an infinitely long time. The same cannot be said about acrylic, gouache and watercolors.

2. A work created in plasticine is several times cheaper in terms of cost than a picture painted with any type of paint.

3. When drawing with plasticine, the manifestations of joint pains and arthrosis are reduced, and also, thanks to small work and pressure on the fingertips, the work of the brain improves.

A little about technology.

What they do with plasticine: they heat it up and draw hot from a syringe, grind it, make "sausages", form contours, and then fill them in, put photographs and pictures under the glass. I stick to the classic: shape balls different colors and shades, I create a palette for my painting, and then I rub the plucked off pieces on the glass - "draw". I do not use templates or overlay photos: I always “create” with clay, experimenting with the color and shape of the “brushstroke”.

Despite the seeming simplicity, plasticine can conceal in itself some "meanness": from 5-6 hours of work, or even earlier, on the fingers from friction ... redness and real calluses can form. But a day or two after, they usually go away.

Advice for beginners: use plasticine of well-known domestic brands, such as "Luch" and "Gamma" - these are proven materials. Czech plastlin tends to break and does not have such pliability, moreover, it is poorly spread and mixed. And Chinese plasticines tend to crumble over time, moreover, many of them are not tested for quality.

For 12 years of work, I have created over 130 paintings, of which 88 have been successfully sold. I have held 6 exhibitions. Some of my paintings are in private collections in Japan, France, Canada and America. For the last 2 years, I have been actively promoting synthetic brushes and the rejection of squirrel brushes, exhibiting paintings from the project "For-Artist-Brushes-A-For-Squirrels-Their-Life!"

Hands are given to us in order to convey love, love for Life and the Living: to give, continuing the Triumph of Life - this is my philosophy as an artist!
