Encyclopedia of blots.

Blob-nature is thin, flexible and varied.

You can create a blot big amount ways.

Classic round.

A drop drips from a brush positioned vertically above the paper. If you shake your hand slightly in a vertical plane, the speed at which the ink falls onto the paper will increase. The impact will make the blot look delicate and welcoming. The larger the brush and the larger the drop, the more expensive the stain.

Widespread.

If you put ink on your brush and quickly wave it over the sheet, moving your hand in a horizontal plane, you will get a very dynamic blot. The stronger the spread and the larger the leaf, the more energetic the spot.

Leak.

We do the drip like this: after applying the drop, we lift the sheet of paper vertically. The drop quite naturally grows legs and tends to flow away from the leaf.

Hairy.

The shaggy blot is made with a semi-dry brush. If you use a flat synthetic brush you can get neat strands.

If it's squirrel, we'll get soft fluffies.

Symmetrical.

It is done like this: fold the sheet in half. We apply a blot on one of the halves. We close it with the other half and press it. We dry the resulting stain on the spread and put it to use.

Picturesque.

If you drip mascara onto glass or another smooth surface, and then press a sheet of smooth paper on top, you will get a spot with a variety of natural landscapes. And they are usually very picturesque.

Ornate.

We lower the thread into the mascara. Place it on one half of a sheet of paper folded in half. Leave one end of the thread outside. Close and move the thread inside, slowly pulling it out. We get an elegant crystal blot.

Spray.

Dip a toothbrush in mascara and move it along any ribbed surface over a sheet of paper. The edge can be a ruler, a comb, or even a mascara cap. A huge number of small droplets fly from the brush onto the paper (including onto everything around us, including our face and hands).

Comet.

If you smear wet spots from the spray with a dry brush

we get a flock of dynamically hurrying blots.

Branched.

If you start blowing vigorously on a classic blot, it will begin to grow branches and eventually transform into either a bush or a sorcerer oak. Depends on the strength of our blow.

Wax.

If you put a wax design on a sheet of paper,

and apply ink on top to get a combination of torn black and white spots.

Openwork.

Apply some ink onto the wet gouache background.

We get an openwork blot with many arms, legs and antennae.

Wet.

By wet surface sheet moistened with water

Spray the ink and get blots with soft petals - tentacles.

Salt speckled.

If you pour salt on a blot, it will immediately turn into the sky, and there a crystal will fall, and a star will form. Suitable for drawing galaxies.

Round with iridescence.

If you add shampoo to mascara and blow it onto a piece of paper soap bubble from this solution we will get an excellent round blot with a halo of small specks. It is in them that the bubble turns into after it bursts. However, we will get it in all its glory.

Horned.

If you blow on this burst bubble from a tube, we get a blot with horns.

Printed.

A print can be made with anything.

Dip your finger into the ink and press it to the paper. The fly wants to fly!

So we got a dozen or so. I'm sure there are others too.

I will update the encyclopedia as I learn more amazing world wild blots.

I hope my selection inspires someone!

The imagination of children is limitless, but their mastery of drawing techniques is most often lame. It is blotography that can help children draw even what they cannot draw at all. Kids will be able to give free rein to their imagination and draw whatever their imagination tells them. Children will be able to get acquainted with what regular blotography is, and there is also blotography with a tube and blotography with a string.

Developmental activities for children 3-5 years old (Blotography)

Blotography belongs to silhouette art, but the history of the emergence of figurative painting goes back to Ancient Greece. The images on the amphorae reveal scenes of mythology, olympic games and the lives of the gods of Olympus. But this type of art became most popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. Many artists began working in this technique and created a huge number of works using the blotting technique. This was the history of the emergence of such a drawing technique as blotography.

But even more interesting than the history of blotting are the classes where this unconventional drawing technique is used. Blotography will help children experiment with colors and have fun. The blotography technique consists of using an ordinary drop of paint, colloquially known as a blot. In the process of drawing, children will get very unexpected images to which they can draw details.

During the lesson in kindergarten and drawing pictures using the blotography technique for children:

• eye and hand coordination develops
• fantasy, creative vision and imagination develops,
• skills of working with paints, brushes,
• children learn to render silhouettes of people, plants and animals,
• diligence, attentiveness, and accuracy develop.

Watercolor

Let's give an example of a master class where blotography will be used to

drawing. Such a master class can easily be arranged for children in kindergarten, and the children’s drawings will decorate a group or exhibition.

The “Butterfly” drawing using watercolors and blots will be very easy to draw. Simply fold the paper in half and apply two large spots of watercolor paint to one side of the paper near the fold line. Now fold the leaf in half. When you open the leaf, you will get very beautiful butterfly wings with fancy patterns. You can now complete the details, such as the body, antennae, and the drawing is ready. This master class is easy to use when conducting classes for young children, since this method of drawing will be very simple.

Pencil

Of course, you can draw using blotography and using both paints and pencils at the same time. We will tell you the technique of drawing with a straw. And this time the master class will be devoted to how to draw a tree.

Take a large brush and place a large blot of brown watercolor paint in the corner. Now, take a hollow water straw and start blowing the paint into different directions. You will get tree branches. Let the twigs dry, and then you can take a pencil and use it to finish drawing leaves on the twigs. This will make the tree very realistic.

If you have an idea to draw a specific tree, for example, a rowan, that is good way continue our master class. Bring regular ear sticks to class; they will be useful for drawing rowan berries. Dip the stick into the paint and make a neat dot on the paper. This will be your rowan, we hope you remember that the tree has fruits that grow in clusters.

Master Class. Issue 21 (Blotography)

Spray

We will tell you about another equally interesting master class that can be used to diversify activities for children in kindergarten. Teach children blotting and splattering techniques. It will be very beautiful and fun.

Classes and master classes using this drawing technique should be carried out using watercolor paint. Needed Blank sheet paper and paint with brush. Load the brush with the desired paint and start splashing the paint by hitting the brush against your finger. Drops will begin to appear on the paper. If desired, you can add a few large drops using a brush. The drawing will be ready when you deem it necessary.

Blotography

Watercolor technique is one of the richest in all kinds of special effects. Watercolor is very often used in decorative painting, for example when creating illustrations for books and magazines. Here the artist’s imagination is not limited to observations from real life. Clear, documentary sketches can meet with shaky, blurry images, like a dream with reality.

The methods for creating decorative works may seem as unusual as the result. Drawings are sprinkled with salt, sprayed with paint or clean water, wrinkle and scratch the paper.

From the outside it may seem that the artist is playing around and playing. But such games with watercolors allow you to achieve interesting and even unexpected effects.

Putting inkblots

As you know, painting with watercolors is not easy. It's very easy to ruin a drawing - an accidental drop of paint in the wrong place, and you can start over. What happens if you put inkblots on purpose? Light splashes of color can diversify the background and even complement the composition of the picture. This is how a good watercolor turns into a unique original work. The secret of decorativeness is in harmoniously selected colors.

However, blots can also be made with clean water on a drawing that has not yet dried. Characteristic blurry traces will remain, which will make the texture of the objects more interesting.

It's not difficult to learn how to splash. It is enough to put paint on a brush, and then tap it on another brush or pencil at a short distance from the paper.

The resulting drops can be left to dry, or you can continue playing with them. If you lift the sheet on one side, the paint will begin to flow, leaving colored tracks. And if you spray it with water from a spray bottle, the spreading stains will create complex patterns. It is difficult to predict the result, you need to try.

Sprinkle salt

Unexpectedly, but true: if you sprinkle salt on wet watercolor, the salt seems to disperse the paint in different directions. Light stars and colored streaks form. The larger the salt crystals, the more noticeable the effect. It makes sense to sprinkle salt on wet paper when the paint has not yet been absorbed. And after the drawing has dried, the crystals can be carefully shaken off.

It is not necessary to sprinkle salt on the entire work. Sometimes this technique is used for individual fragments of the picture in order to emphasize them.

Rub with wax

Wax is used in various painting techniques to leave part of the working surface unpainted. Often used in batik, this technique works well for watercolors. You need to take a piece of white wax and rub it on a sheet of textured paper. Then you can safely fill it with color. After the paint has dried, the wax can be easily removed with a dull knife.

Both clean paper and pre-tinted paper are rubbed with wax. The more textured its structure, the more interesting the effect. Ripples on the water, old and worn surfaces, light clouds - all this can be depicted naturalistically using wax.

Crumpling paper

At school they scolded me for crumpled drawings. But actually drawing on crumpled leaf- This is a decorative artistic technique.

The work done in this way turns out to be covered with a network of small cracks, like an old fresco. ?

How to properly “ruin” paper?

To do this, take a sheet that is not very dense, crush it tightly into a ball and straighten it. The desired folds appear. To make them clearer, the sheet is primed with a light shade that suits the color. After the paper has completely dried, you need to smooth it out well and stick it on the cardboard, bending and gluing the edges - stretch the sheet onto the cardboard base. To do this, the piece of cardboard should be slightly smaller than the prepared paper. And then - paint with watercolors, as usual.

Scratching the drawing

A sheet of paper can not only be wrinkled, but also scratched. The preliminary drawing is most often done in pencil. But you can carefully press it with an awl or a breadboard knife. Poorly visible at first, the drawn lines will appear after filling with paint.

The bark of trees, the veins on leaves, the feathers and hairs of animals, the details of buildings - all this looks more elegant when it is scratched in advance, rather than drawn with a thin brush.

The punching technique is often used for small illustrations.

All these artistic tricks have one thing in common - you can never predict exactly what the result will be. The main thing is to be bolder in trying and experimenting. Or maybe you can come up with your own decorative technique?

You can learn about these and other techniques for working with watercolors in the course “Fruits in Watercolors.”

Master class on drawing (studying various drawing techniques with children preschool age)

Master Class. Unconventional drawing technique - blotography “Magic Blots”

Master class is designed for parents and educators, as well as preschool children - from 3 to 6 years old.

Purpose of the master class: Blotography is great way have fun and useful time, experiment with colors, create unusual images. When blowing up blots, you cannot predict exactly how they will disperse, flow into each other, and what the final result will be... This activity will be interesting for both adults and children. And not only interesting, but also useful: for example, as articulatory gymnastics. Drawing by blowing through a straw also improves the health and strength of the lungs and respiratory system (which is especially useful for coughing).

I would like to note that with the help of this type of drawing it turns out well to depict various trees(you get intricate trunks, branches, etc.). Try it, you will like the result!

Target: To introduce children to this method of depiction, such as blotography, to show its expressive capabilities

Tasks:

Arouse interest in “revival” unusual shapes(blots), learn to complete the details of objects (blots), to give them completeness and resemblance to real images; teach to see the unusual in the ordinary;

Develop creative thinking, flexibility of thinking, perception, imagination, fantasy, interest in creative activity; cultivate accuracy in painting with paints.

Materials for work:

Album sheets;

Gouache or watercolor;

Large brush;

A drinking straw or you can use a pipette;

Water in a jar;

A damp cloth - wipe your hands if they get dirty;

Cotton buds;

Plasticine.

Blotography can be combined with different techniques visual arts, such as monotype, appliqué and others. Some of them are presented in this master class.

This method of drawing with “blots” can be used with children 3-4 years old and older.

Dip the brush into diluted paint and spray it onto a sheet of paper. The thicker the paint, the richer color, but it is more difficult to blow out.

We take a tube and blow through it onto multi-colored drops of paint, they turn into blots. At the same time, the sheet of paper can be rotated - the blots turn out even more interesting!

Blotography using cotton swabs

Using a large brush, place a blot in the corner of the sheet.

Using a tube, we blow the paint in different directions. The result is a tree like this!

After thinking a little, this tree reminded me of a rowan tree growing alone on a slope. Using cotton swabs we paint on the berries and leaves.

We also decorate the frame using cotton swab. It is about such a rowan that Irina Tokmakova may have written the poem “Rowan”.

Red berry

Rowan gave me.

I thought it was sweet

And she is like a hina.

Is it this berry?

I'm just immature

Is it the cunning rowan tree?

Did you want to make a joke?

Blotography using a felt-tip pen

Just like in previous works, we put a blot and blow out the trunk and branches using a tube. What kind of tree is this? Of course, pine!

Using a green felt-tip pen, we draw in the needles.

Pine

Above the yellow scree of the cliff

The old pine tree bent down

Shyly bare roots

She leads with the wind. (Timofey Belozerov)

Having decorated all the branches with lush needles, we begin to design a clearing around the pine tree. Apply green blots and blow them up using a straw. The result is flower stems!

We finish drawing leaves and flowers - dandelions - on the stems. Now the lonely pine is not bored at all!

Blotography + plasticineography

Using plasticine, we create the seabed: we sculpt bright fish, starfish, and pebbles.

But is there something missing in this drawing? Seaweed, of course! With the help of magic blots and a straw, sea grass appears! The blots are located between the pebbles, and if the paint gets slightly onto the plasticine, it’s okay, you can easily wipe it with a cloth and the work won’t be ruined.

Why not the seabed! We finish drawing the bubbles and the drawing is ready!

The fish was catching up with the fish,

The fish wagged its tail

Poked in the abdomen - Caught up!

- Hey, girlfriend! How are you? (T. Vtorova)

This method of drawing is suitable for older children (5 - 7 years old). We take paint onto a brush and spray it onto a sheet of paper. Using a straw we blow out magic blots. And now the most crucial moment - you need to turn on your imagination!

In every blot

Someone is there

If in a blot

Get in with a brush.

In this blot -

Cat with a tail

Under the tail -

River with a bridge

On Bridge -

A weirdo with a weirdo.

Under the bridge -

Pike perch with pike perch.

The drawing needs to be examined from different angles and only then individual details must be completed to make the image more recognizable.

Blotography + monotopy

The background is prepared in advance using a technique called monotopy. Blots are applied to the dried layer different color and blown out using a straw.

Behind the grove a Star fell into the river.

I ran straight there!

It didn't break - it lay on the bottom!

Or maybe I imagined it? (T. Goette)

Here is just a small part of what can be accomplished using “magic blots” - blotography. What other fine art techniques can Blotography be combined with - your imagination will tell you!

Little children love to leave blots on paper. Parents, underestimating the “masterpieces” of their own children, get rid of incomprehensible drawings. But it turns out that you can create a unique drawing from the leftover blots. There is even such a drawing technique - blotography.

Blotography refers to silhouette art, but the history of figurative painting dates back to Ancient Greece. The images on the amphorae reveal scenes of mythology, the Olympic Games and the life of the gods of Olympus. But this type of art became most popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. Many artists began working in this technique and created a huge number of works in this technique. This was the history of the emergence of the drawing technique - blotography.

Drawings made using the blotography technique are unique way to interest children in drawing, to make them want to learn this type of fine art and to remember their childhood. The method is absolutely not complicated, but very exciting, developing not only drawing skills and abilities, but also imagination, ingenuity, and perseverance. Blotography is perhaps one of the most unusual ways in drawing. Moreover, it is generally considered unconventional technology, as, indeed, many others, where material unusual for this purpose is used.

With the help of blotography, a variety of plants and trees can be obtained well. different types and shrubs.

Positive aspects of blotography

IN Lately, this type of drawing has become very popular. An accidental stain that appears on a sheet of paper due to carelessness may have a unique structure. No matter how much you want, this pattern will never be repeated. By adding a little imagination and creative thinking, any blot can be turned into an animal or a fictional creature.

This type of activity has absolutely no age restrictions. That is, both children and adults can practice.

Blotography drawing technique

Necessary tool

For creating unique design you need to prepare the following material:

• Artistic brush. It is advisable to use hard brushes. Sometimes children, to depict a blot big size resort to using a toothbrush.
• Paints. In this art form, only liquid watercolor is used. If you don’t have suitable paints on hand, you can simply dilute your existing watercolors with water. By the way, multi-colored ink has the consistency necessary for drawing. It can also be used when drawing.
• Cardboard or a sheet of white paper.
• Water container.
• Cotton buds.
• Damp cloth. Used to remove dirt from hands.

Stages of the creative process

So, blotography is a drawing technique. Where to begin? If you are new to this area, then you should first decide on the topic of the future drawing. It is extremely important here to direct mental activity V the right direction, in other words, set the direction. After making a blot on a piece of paper, turn on your imagination and try to see in it the outlines of an object or living creature. Maybe there is an amazing planet or a picturesque underwater world in front of you.

There are several ways to create a drawing using blotography.

The most common is the drip method.

Here you will need a wide, voluminous brush. It should be thoroughly saturated with paint, and then, placing it over a piece of paper, begin to spray watercolor. If you want the drops to irrigate a small area, tap the brush on your finger or hand. When the brush is simply shaken, the spray area increases. For spot application of paint, use a pipette. By the way, with its help you can create a large blot, thus depicting, for example, the sun. Most often, landscapes are created using this method of blotography.

The second method of blotography uses the spreading method.

To do this, apply a large blot to the corner of the sheet using a brush. It is important that the paint must be very liquid. Then, using a drinking straw, they begin to blow the paint over the surface of the paper. It is advisable to direct the watercolor in different directions. Now you need to take a closer look at the resulting drawing and complete the details.

Blotography will help children experiment with colors and have fun. In the process of drawing a picture using the blotography technique, children:

• eye and hand coordination develops
• fantasy, creative vision and imagination develops,
• skills of working with paints, brushes,
• children learn to render silhouettes of people, plants and animals,
