Drawing Rules
There are the following options for creating painting by numbers:
- You can color the picture by color: first under one number, and then under the second. It is recommended to start with light colors. The advantage of such creativity is that the brush is dipped in only one color and it does not need to be washed often. Minus – parts with the desired number are searched for a long time, the result can be seen only after the end of the drawing.
- You can paint by objects: for example, first work on the house, and then on the characters in turn. By painting in turn, the fragments are easy to search for and it is immediately clear what kind of picture is obtained.
- You can also draw in the direction: starting from the top corner, moving down, or from the center to the edges, and vice versa. Thanks to this drawing, the drawing will not get dirty with paint, but often you will need to wash the brush.
- Another way of coloring is from the background to the front fragments. For example, the background is painted first, then the central part and foreground details. Thanks to this tactic, you can create the effect of a three-dimensional picture.
Before starting work, it is necessary to prepare water for washing brushes.
Painting Tips:
- Each can of paint is opened before painting.
- Before applying the paint, you need to check its consistency.
- If the paint is too thick, it can be slightly thinned with water.
- If by mistake the fragment was painted over with the wrong paint, after it has completely dried, the correct color is applied.
It is necessary to store open paints for drawing in tight jars, no more than four months. After completing a creative activity, it is important to wash the brushes well. The finished work is placed in a frame and decorates the walls with it.
