It is recommended to paint New Year's windows with paints, creating a real festive masterpiece that adults and children will surely enjoy. Such an idea will be useful for both school and kindergarten, and parents will be able to take part in its implementation along with the kids.

How to draw pictures on the windows for the New Year

You can decorate the windows for the New Year not only with paper-cut snowflakes - a traditional type of decoration. The original and budget version of the festive decoration - drawing directly on the glass. The easiest way to carry out drawings is the usual children's gouache or watercolor paints. Often, gouache begins to roll, but the problem is easily solved by adding a small amount of soap with a minimum of water.

Pictures made by white toothpaste look interesting. You can create real frosty patterns, similar to those that the winter itself draws on the windows. Hoarfrost is created using a special paste spray technique. After the holiday, removing this painting will be easy. Also, for painting Christmas paintings on the windows, stained-glass paints, glue paints, and special markers are used.

What you should not do

To draw images on glass, you only need to apply suitable for this paint. Others can leave ugly stains, go bad or do not wash off. So, ordinary markers, felt-tip pens are not suitable: the pattern will be uneven, with an interrupted contour, erased even by careless movement of the sleeve. Of course, firmly fixed paints that will have to be scrubbed off the window for a long time (for example, stained for professionals) will not work.

New Year's drawings: ways and ideas

What can be depicted on a window pane to make it bright and a holiday unforgettable? There are many options for drawing New Year's pictures. Most often, snow-covered decor, individual snowflakes, frosty hoarfrost are chosen. Elements such as:

• Ded Moroz and Snegurochka;
• bags with gifts;
• bullfinches;
• red rowan berries;
• snow-covered garden;
• Christmas balls;
• snowmen;
• sleigh with deer;
• Garlands;
• beads;
• Christmas tree with snow.

From directly Christmas plots, angels, candles, and scenes from the Bible look beautiful. You can paint glass with just funny, perky pictures: faces, forest animals, dogs and cats, gnomes, fairy tale characters. The house against the backdrop of a snowy forest will even look like a real masterpiece. It is only important to observe the rule: do not use gloomy colors (black, dark brown) in large quantities. Also, do not overload the image, it should remain light, airy, appropriate for the holiday. Too carefully to draw details is also not necessary, it makes the elements heavier.

Gouache and watercolor drawings

Each student and a novice artist has a set of gouache. It is recommended to start with this material if drawing skills on glass are absent. Watercolor, oil is much more difficult to apply, it is desirable to have some experience. It is recommended to immediately put gouache of the desired tones in small jars and drip a little liquid soap. The paint will lie denser, smoother, it will be easier to wash the windows. Also required:

• cotton wool or cloth; napkins;
• jar of water;
• brushes of different sizes;
• stencil (or different stencils);
• paper tape.

It’s not necessary to apply templates, you can decorate the window immediately, especially if you plan to apply a simple pattern. More complex images are recommended to be pre-scribbled with a stencil or a thin brush to be able to fix blemishes. Also, stencils should be used when applying symmetrical patterns, the same pictures on different windows.

The procedure is as follows:

• wash the glass, dry it;
• attach a stencil to the window, choose the ideal position;
• fix the template with paper tape;
• draw gouache empty areas inside the template;
• wait until the paint has completely dried;
• remove the stencil;
• gently paint on the necessary details, erase the smears that spoil the picture.

With watercolors they work in a similar way, but applying a dense layer will not work. Also, watercolor is more difficult to wash off, so those who have tried one day later usually use gouache. Snowflakes are painted with white paint, bright New Year's decorations are painted with color. By the way, small patterns such as snowflakes can not be glued to tape, but simply soaked, attached to the glass, sketched, then removed. After a white snowball, it is permissible to draw silver, gold patterns with a brush in the presence of appropriate gouache.

Toothpaste drawings

A master class on painting windows with paste is even easier. To do this, you need such materials:

• toothbrush;
• toothpaste;
• rag;
• water;
• tassel.

Instead of toothpaste, toothpowder can be used. Both of these funds must be squeezed in a small volume into a jar, diluted with water. Then you can draw with paste as a paint by hand, or by applying patterns. The thicker the mixture, the more accurate the pictures are. Best of all, with the help of white paste, snowflakes and snowmen come out. Directly on top of dried drawings, you can put dots, dashes, draw details with gouache, watercolors.

It will also be interesting to apply the paste in the spray technique:

• cut a snowflake stencil;
• stick it on masking tape to the glass;
• moisten a toothbrush in a toothpaste;
• swipe the brush several times with your finger so that the spray intensively flies to the glass;
• let the paste dry (you can use a hairdryer with a cold stream of air);
• peel off the template.

Stained Glass Drawings

In order not to make a real stained-glass window out of the window, which will not be washed off and will remain almost forever, you cannot buy professional stained-glass paint. Only children's paints that transmit light well are easily washed off. There are also special boxed kits consisting of paints and film. The latter is glued to the glass, and a pattern is superimposed on top of it. It’s even easier to put the picture under the film, draw it with paints, then stick the finished product to the window. This must be done after complete drying. It will be very easy to remove the finished stained glass from the glass.

Patterns on the window with a brush and a sponge

Even children can work with a regular brush. For drawing, you need a set of a wide flat brush, a thin brush for drawing details. They can be used using gouache, watercolor, honey paints, oil, toothpaste, in general, any material.

First, mix the colors together to get the right shades. You can also work with paints on toothpaste to draw deer, Santa Claus, balls, Christmas tree and other New Year's drawings with it. It is convenient to use stencils.

Also put pictures on the windows with a sponge. The procedure is as follows:

• take a sponge for washing dishes;
• cut out any Christmas figure, for example, a Christmas tree;
• dip it in paint for just a second;
• allow excess to drain;
• apply a sponge to the window;
• repeat the procedure according to the previously conceived picture.

There is another option for using a sponge. It is necessary to cut off a small piece from the whole, to wrap it with narrow tape, leaving one side uncovered. Dip the foam into the paint and draw it like a brush. If, for example, Christmas balls are depicted, their strings are drawn using the thinnest brush.

Glue paint drawings

Such material can be purchased in stores for creativity or do it yourself. It is enough to mix PVA, starch, gouache of the right color in equal portions, and the paint is ready. The mass is transferred to a tube for ease of extrusion or applied with a brush. Otherwise, they work in a similar way. Prepare a stencil of durable paper, cut through the details. The contours of all the basic elements are stained, then the stencil is removed, the work is completed.

New Year's patterns for cutting

The easiest way to make templates is to print them from the Internet. If there is no printer, and the drawing is planned to be made large, it is worth contacting the printing studio where the necessary stencil will be made. You can even print white snowflakes and stick them to the window. This will be the easiest decor option.

Work with stencils

To make a stencil yourself, you need to prepare thick cardboard or plastic, a stationery knife, a cutting board (preferably a glass one), an eraser, a simple pencil, scissors. Then, the picture you like must be printed and enlarged on cardboard, or drawn manually (you can use data from the Internet). The finished stencil is cut with a knife, scissors, laying a cutting board.

Next, work with stencils like this:

• choose the best place on the window;
• apply a stencil;
• stick it with small pieces of paper tape;
• perform a drawing.

New Year's decor does not end with glass decoration. Windows can be made truly New Year's by decorating cornices, windowsill, curtains. For example, paper curtains, rain, Christmas balls, pin to curtains, tulle. On the windowsill, you can put candles in beautiful candlesticks, self-made paper garlands are glued to the eaves. Such a composition will be an original solution for the New Year and will attract the attention of guests.
