On one side, using paints, gouache or watercolors, draw half of the picture. This can be half of the moon, an apple, a butterfly, a flower, a house, anything. While the image is still wet, fold the paper in half again along the existing fold, press well and unfold. On the second side, there will be a symmetrical imprint of the picture. You have a complete image of the object. When the paint dries, you can add details to it, if necessary. The "Leaf Printing" Method
A very simple drawing method for whichyou need to have leaves from trees and plants of different species, and it is better to use fallen leaves.

The sheet of paper is folded in half and unfolded. The threads painted with paint are laid out on one side. The sheet is folded again as in the previous case, pressed. The threads are pulled out with a quick movement. After unfolding the paper, an intricate drawing remains on it. Method 3. On the paper prepared for drawing, the outlines of any object, animal, etc. are drawn, only it is not colored with pencils or paints, but with threads that are glued.
