Inventors come up with more and more original ways to create pictures together with children. Painting with s alt and watercolors is a new kind of art based on the ability of s alt to absorb color pigments.

Drawing with children from two years old

Painting with watercolor and s alt and glue for children from two years old is a very interesting and creative activity. If you properly prepare for work, then after such a lesson your child will always ask to repeat this miracle.

For work you will need:

• pack of table s alt;
• cardboard;
• stationery glue;
• watercolor (preferably liquid)
• tassel.

Progress:

1. Stencils are not required for such a creative drawing, although you can print any sketch with simple shapes if you wish.
2. Paint a pattern on the cardboard with glue, such as a flower or a vase.
3. Place it in a baking dish and sprinkle well with s alt. The shape is needed so as not to spill the s alteverywhere.
4. After the glue has set, shake off any excess grains.
5. Dip the brush in the desired color. Gently touch the s alt line and see how the color spreads along the contour.
6. Use different colors in different parts of the picture, they will blend very nicely in transitions.
7. Fill in all glued lines with color and leave to dry. It may take a day or two for it to dry completely.

Such paintings can be on any topic, for example, drawing with s alt and watercolors "Winter" will be a wonderful gift for the New Year to relatives from a young talent.

3D paint for children from 1.5 years old

Drawing with s alt and watercolors is suitable for all ages, even the little ones. From the age of 1.5, you can make a child a volumetric paint, which he can pour directly from the bottle.

To create such a miracle of paint you will need:

• 1 glass of s alt;
• 1 cup flour;
• 1 glass of water;
• colored gouache or watercolor;
• cardboard;
• plastic bottle for squeezing out paint (can be taken from ketchup).

Now mix s alt, flour and water, pour the resulting liquid into three containers and add the desired color to each. Reviews say that little kids really like squeezing such a mass onto cardboard, creating shimmering drawings.

Wax crayon option

This master class "Drawingwatercolor with s alt" implies the additional use of wax pencils. Suitable for older children, and if you choose a complex sketch, then an adult will like this work.

Materials:

• white wax pencil;
• watercolor paints;
• A4 thick sheet;
• water;
• rock s alt;
• coloring.

Having prepared all the necessary material, you can start drawing with s alt and watercolors:

1. Print the picture or draw your own sketch. For example, take a fox in winter.
2. Draw snowflakes and a fox outline on white paper with a wax pencil.
3. Wet a sheet and fill in the sky, moon, clouds with watercolors. You can use different shades to make the picture richer.
4. Before the painting is completely dry, sprinkle the sheet with s alt, which will absorb the paint and sparkle.
5. Let the work dry, then shake off excess s alt.

Thanks to the wax contour, the snowflakes and the fox did not blend into the background, and the s alt added a fabulous sheen to the landscape. This work can be done as a postcard. It is not necessary to take a fox at all, you can sparkle any winter landscape with s alt.

Master class for kindergarten

Kindergarten teachers most often ask themselves how to diversify the creative activities of children, which are aimed at developing perseverance and attention. So, painting with s alt and watercolors is perfect fordifferent age groups of pupils.

For crafts you will need:

• color paper;
• white paper (thick) A4 size;
• scissors;
• PVA glue;
• glue stick;
• watercolor paints and brushes;
• water tank.

For the background, it is better to use colored paper in warm colors. Let's get to work:

1. Take white paper and fold it four times and make a vase outline on one folded half.
2. Cut it out and paste it on the background.
3. We give the children stencils so that they can cut out three circles on their own - the cores of the flowers.
4. Stick them on the sheet so that there is room for stems and petals.
5. Now works with PVA glue. We draw them with stems and petals, as well as leaves of flowers.
6. Then draw a vase with glue. To do this, first draw a contour, then make a "mesh" against the general background of the vase.
7. Sprinkle the drawing generously with s alt, wait for it to dry and shake off excess s alt.
8. When the s alt and glue are dry, proceed to coloring. To make the picture bright, use different colors. Let the children imagine at this stage.

S alt solution with glue absorbs paint well, so the colors will turn out bright.

Master class "Butterfly"

You can draw in a different way with s alt and watercolors. The master class will help you make a beautiful butterfly. It will be carried out in the same waylike a vase. Only the stencil needs to be cut in the shape of a butterfly.

Creation progress:

1. Stick the butterfly on the background.
2. Draw the outline and pattern on the butterfly with PVA glue.
3. Apply a layer of glue.
4. When dry, paint.

Let the guys express themselves and let them make any pattern for a beautiful butterfly, do not forget to draw the antennae.

Effects of different types of s alt

When you put s alt on wet watercolor, it collects water and repels the pigment. Therefore, the type of s alt can have a different effect (reviews confirm this).

If you apply the "extra" fine s alt option, you will get small dots that look like fine snow or fog. The main thing in this technique is to catch the moment when the drawing is not completely wet, so as not to dissolve the crystals, but not dry, otherwise nothing will come of it.

You can even use coarse sea s alt. With its help, you can create various curls. Good for winter landscapes, for example, if you want to draw a blizzard.

The use of this technique is very wide, it all depends on your imagination. Suitable for almost all watercolor painting options.

Watercolor painting techniques

If you like to experiment with your art, then we offer you to see how the watercolor technique can produce real masterpieces.

The very firstmethod of applying paint - brushes. It is widespread and known to everyone from early childhood.

The second option that parents show us like a miracle is the use of wax chalk. First, a sketch is drawn in crayon on paper, and then the background is filled. The property of wax is to repel moisture, so white stripes will remain in place of the stencil.

Another interesting option is paint bleaching. To do this, after applying the background, blot in the right places with a napkin or toilet paper. Since the paint has not had time to soak in, this way you can, for example, draw Christmas trees.

There are many watercolor techniques (spraying, sponge painting, etc.). We've looked at just a few of them, and we've also seen the amazing effects that can be achieved with regular s alt. Reviews say that such unusual tricks are very popular with children.
