Drawing is one of the most favorite activities of children. Drawing in unusual ways evokes even more positive emotions in children. Using non-traditional drawing techniques, abilities develop . The child develops an interest in drawing , and as a result, a desire to create.
Today I will tell you and show you how to draw without using a brush.
1. Drawing with cotton swabs . We put paint on a stick and decorate the image on a sheet of paper with dots. (Christmas tree, snow, teapot, sundress, rowan branch)
.
2. Drawing with palms . Pour the paint into a flat container. Dip your palm and press it to a sheet of paper. (Flowers, fish, Santa Claus, swan, carrots)

.
5. Blotography. A spot or blot of watercolor paint is made on a sheet of paper. Take a tube and blow air onto the blot.
6. Drawing with a fork . We put paint on a fork from a flat plate and make an imprint with the flat surface of the fork. You can draw grass , a fence, flowers, a hedgehog.
7. Drawing with thread . It is best to draw with wool thread . We dip the thread in paint and apply it to a sheet of paper and create a pattern by imprinting with the movement of the thread. The wool thread creates a fancy pattern that is suitable for depicting clouds, clouds, sheep, or an unusual flower.
8. Drawing with a sponge or piece of foam rubber. We clamp a piece of foam rubber with a clothespin, dip it in paint and apply prints that create the texture of the object. They are used to paint animal fur, fluffy bunches of flowers, clouds, and tree crowns.
9. Spray painting . You will need a toothbrush and comb. Take a little paint on the brush and spray it with a comb. Move the brush over the comb over a sheet of paper. You can apply paints of different colors, it will turn out very beautiful.
10. Drawing with stamps . The stamp is easy to make from plasticine. We apply plasticine to a block, cube, etc. Using any sharp object, we depict some object or abstract pattern on it. The stamp is ready. We make a pillow from a sponge. Pour paint onto the sponge. We apply the stamp to the sponge with paint. Now you can make prints. A stamp can be made from the bottom of a plastic bottle, you get beautiful flowers.
11. Drawing with imprints of cups and necks of different diameters. Pour the paint into a flat plate. Dip the glass in paint and apply the design to a sheet of paper.
12. Drawing with a comb . We will need a comb with fine teeth. Apply multi-colored paint (next to each other)
on a sheet of paper in the shape of a drop.
Then we run a comb over all the drops of paint, connecting and smearing them. It turns out to be an amazing rainbow. You can also draw different patterns by adding drops and moving the comb in different directions.
13. Drawing with wax crayons . Using colored wax pencils or wax crayons, apply the design to a sheet of paper. Then we cover it with one or several layers of watercolor. The result is an unusual and bright pattern. (You can draw stars , flowers)
.
14. Scratching (waxography)
. We paint the surface of the entire sheet of paper with wax crayons, then cover the sheet with black gouache. When everything is dry, scratch the paint and create a drawing with lines. You can scratch with a pointed stick, skewer, or toothpick.
15. Drawing with gauze . Apply a layer of gauze to a wet sheet of paper, straightening it. The gauze should remain motionless on the paper. Paint on top of the gauze with a brush and paint. Let the drawing dry. We remove the gauze - a pattern remains on the paper in the form of an imprint of the texture of the gauze fabric. (Landscape, sky, tree, grass)
16. Drawing using plastic film. Let's draw a picture. Before the paint has dried, quickly apply the film to the drawing in the right place and carefully, using rotating movements, create wrinkles of the film on the paper. The wrinkles collect paint. Allow to dry and carefully remove the tape.
17. Monotype. Drawing symmetrical objects. To do this, fold a sheet of paper in half and draw an object on one half. While the paint is still wet, fold the sheet in two again. You will get a print on the other half. After this, the image can be completed or decorated .
18. Painting with bubble wrap. Using this wonderful material you can very simply draw falling snow . We apply white or pale blue paint to the film and apply it to a sheet of paper with a pattern. Using this technique you can create an extraordinary background for winter appliqué.
19. Painting with salt . Apply a design to a sheet of colored cardboard using PVA glue. We draw a picture on the theme of winter. Sprinkle salt on top. When everything is dry, shake off the excess salt.
20. Drawing with semolina . For drawing in this technique, colored paper or cardboard is used. PVA glue is applied to the outline of the design. Semolina is poured on top and a sheet of paper is placed tightly on top. Then remove the paper and shake off the excess semolina. In this way the next part is created.
21. Drawing with a candle . On a thick sheet of paper or cardboard, children draw with a candle according to plan. The sheet is painted over with watercolor paint. Wax images will appear through the watercolor. (Christmas tree, snowflakes, animals)
.
