Gorodets painting is one of the ancient Russian artistic crafts

Gorodets painting begins with cutting spinning wheels. Various figures were cut out of wood and inserted into the recesses according to the appropriate shape. Later, craftsmen began to paint wooden figurines, gradually adding more new colors.

In the 19th century, craftsmen produced beautiful wooden figures in green, red, blue and other colors. They decorated houses and courtyards. The figures were pleasing to the eye, they were loved to be made, and children admired them. The painted rooster turned out to be very beautiful.

What could Gorodets spinning wheels be decorated with?

• Sled.
• Chests.
• Caskets.
• Furniture.
• Household items, etc.

Usually, the painting was symbolic. Genre drawings were valued. For example, a merchant and his horse or cockerel were depicted on the board. Elements of such painting have been preserved to this day.

Floral motifs were given special preference in this craft. Animals were also drawn, such as lions or bulls.

The favorite backgrounds in Gorodets painting for the masters of the 19th century were blue, green, in a word, bright and multi-colored. A black background was used less often.

How is painting done? And then and now the work is painted step by step with a brush. Step-by-step craft does not involve drawing from a finished layout. The blow of the hand on the board should be tight and strong. All the work of the master is quite painstaking, but at the same time, fast. By the nature of the technique, the work is not difficult.

For children in the kindergarten, preparatory group and preschoolers, there are many ways to start with simple Gorodets painting schemes, which you can print on the Internet, for example, depict it on the asphalt.

Gorodets painting: basic elements step by step

For such painting, special paints are required. They are called "tempera". Tempera paints are made from dry powders or their analogues. An alternative to such paints can be ordinary gouache, to which PVA glue has been added. If the master’s choice fell on gouache, then he should know that when painting in Gorodets, before painting the second layer of the drawing, you need to wait until the first layer has completely dried, otherwise the work will have a whitish tint.

All brushes must be dry, otherwise they will deteriorate after use.

The specificity of Gorodets painting is painting without a model, that is, the artist smoothly moves the brush over the surface. What artistic techniques can be used when painting? There are many of them, for example:

• Broad brush strokes.
• Fine lines with a fine brush.
• Masterly strokes with a medium brush.

This type of painting requires special paints.

On what surface is Gorodets painting performed? Usually wood is taken as the basis. If desired, you can create a colored background on it by painting the surface red, yellow or another color.

The work flow is as follows:

1. To begin with, the master marks the approximate dimensions of the composition on the surface. You can use a pencil for this. At the same time, he does not draw the layout! This is necessary in order to outline the future size of all painting patterns.
2. Many masters advise to outline the outline of the pattern not with a pencil, but with paints. In their opinion, this is the technology that is considered correct.
3. The knots of the design are made with a thin brush and light paint. This makes the work look neater.
4. Darker ones are placed on top of the light spots. This is the peculiarity of this craft.
5. Before starting work, you should collect several different brushes, since it is convenient to draw different details in your own way. For example, thin lines will turn out beautiful only if you draw them with a thin brush.
6. The main elements of Gorodets painting are the so-called “revivals”. These include points, circles, spirals, strokes and arcs.

Step-by-step decorative drawing based on Gorodets painting for children

1. The beginning of the drawing is a life-size sketch of the diagram on wood. The size of the future work and its main elements should be outlined.
2. To simplify the task, you can draw the size of the composition on paper, and only then transfer the image to a wooden surface.
3. When the size of the ornament is applied to the wooden surface, you need to highlight the main center of the composition. After this, you can think about the color scheme.
4. When the question of the composition and color scheme of the composition has been decided, you can begin to draw the ornament in detail.
5. For children, it is recommended to choose simple drawings. For example, you can depict the sun. A red circle is drawn in the center, and rays next to it. The radial stitches should be the same size.
6. At the end of the work, the wooden surface is varnished. A cutting board is perfect for this type of work.

It will be easier for your child to draw simple elements

1. The work will use white, red, brown and green paints. Children should draw either on wooden boards or on shallow wooden plates.
2. Use a pencil to mark the center of the composition and its size.
3. Then you can start drawing the flower. A small red circle is drawn in the center. Red paint is then mixed with white to create pink. Another circle is drawn in pink, larger than the first. After that, the circle is red again and pink again. Thus, the flower has a multi-colored middle.
4. The petals are made with green and brown paints. It’s better to alternate them, so the work will be more beautiful.
5. You can combine green paint with white to get a lighter greenish color. They can be used to draw the petals from the inside. This drawing is done with a thin brush.

Stage I of painting - Underpainting- This is a colored circle that will serve as the basis of any Gorodets flower.

Stage II of painting - Tenevka- pointing the petals. When we have painted circles of different colors we need (underpainting), we give the gouache time to dry. Then we begin to draw the petals depending on the colors that we want to depict. On a pink underpainting, the petals can be painted red, on a blue one - blue. In general, petals are always painted with a darker contrasting paint.

III stage of painting – Ozhivka– decorating flowers with white dots and strokes. The pattern comes to life. Done with the thinnest brush. For this we will need art brushes No. 2 or No. 3, as well as white gouache.
