Drawing of nature is the main topic of paint artists. Stunning paintings, depicting the riot of colors of the summer forest, can be seen on the paintings of Shishkina or Levitan, beautiful winter landscapes - Kustodiev and Bruegel, Golden Autumn is depicted in Kiseleva and Polenov, and the breath of spring is handed over to the beautiful images of Tisso and Van Gogh.

In this lesson, we will look at how to draw nature in stages.

  1. Draw the water surface of the summer lake and the horizon line over it.

  1. On the sides of the lake, we draw a bushes, around the lake - the road flowing up to the horizon. In the sky draw the scorching midday sun.

  1. In the meadow behind the lake, we draw trees and grass - in nature without them anywhere. Trees in the foreground larger trees in the back. In the lake draw the reflection of the sun.

  1. Let's decorate the sky with clouds and fluttering birds - after all, it is difficult to present nature without an animal world.

  1. Now the water in the lake with a pencil. In the foreground, we draw a dump. Picture of nature with a pencil ready!

Landscape is a type of visual art that depicts the pristine beauty of nature. The artist-landscape player fantasy unlimited, as there are many new and amazing in nature. The picture with the image of nature is able to decorate the house and give a cozy mood, while the process of drawing the landscape is delivering relaxing pleasure. It seems to many that draw a landscape picture easily, but they are often mistaken, because to draw a good picture, you need to know the foundations of the image of the perspective and the location of blueberries.

Tip: Before starting to perform a big picture, practice making small sketches for which half of the A4 sheets are suitable.

How to draw a landscape with a pencil

  • To draw a good picture, it is difficult to restrict ourselves to one with a pencil, as you will need at least three: soft (b), solid (H) and medium (HB), as well as a very soft eraser. To begin with, practice the bases of hatching, as shown in the picture:
  • Thus, look, with what force you need to put pressure on a pencil to achieve one or another color. Also try to draw a ball and shake it using it for clarity. Figure:


  • This will help learn the location of glare and shadows. To draw a landscape, you can see the window, go out, or initially try the photo.


How to draw a landscape - a snowy Christmas tree

  • Choose your favorite photo on the Internet. For clarity, we use this picture:

  • To begin with, select the location of your Christmas tree on the sheet, count its size, then draw a triangle. Or, you can draw a wand (as we painted in the kindergarten). In no case do not use a ruler, draw lines need strictly by hand. Otherwise you will never learn to draw. Then schematically mark snow cover, making strokes from top to bottom, from a triangle or stick (depending on what you painted) very thin lines so that they can be easily erased.




  • Next, start working out more embossed fir and draw snow on branches. Those parts of the branches that remain without snow cover, dictate, using a soft pencil. Snow is not snow-white, so it's a little stitch it, make it more loose.
  • When the Christmas tree is ready, draw behind the background you enjoy. It can be snowfields or a small village with a lot of houses.

Important! Even if you draw a night landscape, shadow from the tree must work.

Remember, the closer the subject is, theover it looks brighter, respectively, the farther - the same hatching. Also remember to draw a falling shadow from the Christmas tree.


Draw a snowy landscape with watercolor paints

Perhaps with watercolor paints the most difficult to learn how to draw, because they require a lot of water. They constantly spread, and if it is inadvertently to make the wrong smear, then unlike Guachi, watercolor will not be able to block it. As they say in an art school - wash off the excess color with paper will help abundant casting of water from under the tap on a piece of leaf. Remember that high-quality watercolor paints do not have white. White shade replaces water.

You will need special paper (watercolor paper is very dense to the touch), paint and brushes: small, medium and large. Since the watercolor is the most not viscous paint, then the brushes should have elasticity. Best are suitable brushes from a hair protein.

  • Draw the horizon line, mark the path.


  • Next, draw the sky using yellow, blue and purple paint.




  • Draw the trees away, using black, brown and green paint. First, the colors, and then when the background will dry up, work the trees lines. Since this is a back background, try to be pale.




  • Foreground branches do clearer.
  • Draw a path with dark colors, given the location of the shadows. Also also laughter of snow mark the gray paint.


Important! Although watercolor requires a lot of water, try not to overdo it, otherwise, the sheet of paper will bend.

In fact, learning how to draw is not difficult enough, the main thing is to show your imagination. If you do not work from the first time - do not worry. Not all the great artists have come out ingenious paintings from the first time. Just enjoy the process. Even if you are just starting to draw, try to buy more good paints, brushes and pencils immediately, because, for example, the outstanding hairs from the tassel will immediately spoil the mood.

Spring nature, like a young girl, dressed in a luxurious dress and sing songs. In each flower, each blade, droplets of dew and swinging trees sounds the magic melody of spring. Do you hear these sounds too? Then grab a pencil, mastikhin or brush and. Master class on drawing landscape begins right now!

Spring in Ukraine.

Drawing Mastichery - This technique of layer-by-layer applying paints of paint on paper or canvas with a special thin steel blade (Mastichene).

Taking advantage of the Mastichery, you will make your work volumetric, give it a special texture. Mastichein allows you to create an interesting texture on the surface of the picture and gives an unlimited field for artistic improvisation. Any landscape created by the masticine will become more emotional and expressive.

To draw a landscape of Mastichene, you will need:

  • acrylic or oil paints,
  • paper A3 or primed cloth,
  • palette knife,
  • thin tassel
  • palette (or ordinary plastic plate),
  • water vessel,
  • a rag (for wiping paint with a masticine and tassels).

Do not regret bright colors - the landscape must be flown with juicy colors.

1. Simple pencil make out of trees and grass. Draw a cherry garden.

2. The edge of the blades take a small amount of blue paint from the palette and the side of the masticine smear at the top of the canvas.

3. Mix on the palette blue and green paint. The vertical movements of Mastichene inflict the turquoise background. These are the trees of the second plan, located away from the blooming garden. So that the drawing had a natural look, the background is better to make inhomogeneous.

4. Flowering crowns of trees Flood with pink paint of mastichene's sinking movements.

5. To create a yellow background between the trunks of Cherries on the tip of the Mastichene, take some paint and point movements to canvas. As a result of such manipulations, you will see how the drawing will gain the volume.

6. On the queue - the trunks of the trees. Apply the paints on them very carefully to correctly depict the shadows and glare.

7. Rare strokes bring burgundy stains on blooming cherries, slightly rubbing paint.

8. Add the crown of bulk pink, white and yellow smears. At the top through the branches should be shown blue skylocks sky.

We now turn to the drawing of grass and trees of trees. Do not be afraid to combine paints - add some yellow, orange, salad or blue.

Finally, wander the green grass with balls of shocking dandelions.

The kneading artists say that landscapes are better drawing from nature. For inspiration, go to one of - it is there that can admire the most beautiful flowers and at the same time to write a luxurious masterpiece.

Learning to draw landscape with watercolors. Bird on a branch

If you like drawing with a brush and pencil, I propose to create summer landscape with a pan on a branch. Sunny picture in gentle tones - a great gift of ko or to the name of the beloved friend.

Let's start?

1. First draw a blue. Make parts of the body proportional to you will help ovals: two small - the head of the cinema and sketch of the wing, big - the future of the body.

2. Draw the outlines of the body of the bird. Image eyes, tail and thin paws. All lines do hardly noticeable so that they do not shine through the transparent watercolors.

3. With the help of a wide tassel, it is filming in a blue sky, bypassing the place of the clouds.

Mix blue and gray paint and float clouds, without touching the brush of the edges.

5. Eye contours and beak have seen black. The middle of the eye flooding the pale gray.

6. Wing float blue. When watercolors are well dried, clearly draw the plundering of the wings and the tail, as well as the legs. Do not forget about the pupil with a glare.

7. Arbitrary Tassel Movements Draw a tree branch and green foliage on it.

It was in the summer, when nature is replete with rainbow paints, and the sun does not bother to heat, it often comes inspiration to write bright, cheerful paintings. One of these today will try to draw. Armed with color pencils and proceed to drawing a landscape.

1. Remarking the horizon line and the point of the departure on it. Draw the outlines of the house so that all the lines converge at one point on the horizon. It is necessary to create the right perspective - a proportional reduction in the building as it deletes from the foreground.

2. Draw the window.

3. Make sketches of paths and trees.

4. And now, more detain the crowns and trunks of the trees.

This lesson shows the work with the color and technique of working with a brush, as well as phased work on the rear, middle and foreground.

Newbies are best used inexpensive acrylic or oil paints. For example acrylic paints of the company "Sonnet"

For the lesson, this picture is selected. Simple night landscape with a small workshop over a thistle in the foreground.

This is a sketch. The horizon is located below the middle, two mountains, a plot with waves and a sand dune in the foreground. Make the sketch carelessly, as you see in the photo.

Mix a little yellow light cadmium with white and start writing the sky.

Add the cadmium yellow dark and more yellow light cadmium to get such a color.

Apply paint where I am in the photo, and, appropriate, make a color stretch.

Add a red light and black cadmium to the last color resulting to get such a color as in this photo.

Fill in the color of the mountain, which is behind.


Add the cadmium red light and blue to get the next color.

Write another mountain as you see in this photo.

Add the same colors for the horizon.

Fill the back of the paint, as you see in this photo.

Add black, cadmium red light and blue to get this color.

Make a mixture for the mountains or use a bit of the one that remains and continue to write.

Mix blue and red until you get such a color and fill in the paint where you see on the photographer.

It is mixed here more black, red and naologo to get darker. Mix up to mix the paint on the canvas to get fluffy outlines of soft grass.


Here I used a fan brush to add fluffiness. A fan brush is very good for such a process. Now you need to wait everything to dry before continue.

Make sure the surface dried before making the next step. For the main color of the foam mix blue, some black and white.

After the main wave is written and somewhat rear, I add a foam pattern in the foreground.

So your submarine should look. Leave dry before proceeding.

Flat brush Mix black, phthalocian green and cadmium red to get dark green color. Red shuffling brightness, but leaves green tone.

Draw the lines as you can see in this photo. The trick is that they look more likely to be located at different levels. Try to avoid very curved and highly straight lines. Practice on a separate canvas if you are not confident.

We start writing the basis of the thistle, moving the brush from the bottom from the middle to the side.

Now Mix Neopaitan Yellow with Fine Light, to brighten the dark green mixture. The resulting color we will use to highlight the brightest sections in the foreground.

Add stem thistle as you see in this photo. Let them overlap each other in different angles to maximize the natural effect.

The same color, flexing and turning the brush, strokes writing the leaves. It is necessary for this practice, so practice on another canvas to get the right effect in both directions: right and left.

Here I used Alizarine Crimson to change the color of the leaves. This gives interest and games foreground.

Stay light blue color for thistle colors. Use blue or phthalocian blue.

We write with sharp movements from below, so that the flower is as if dissolved in the dark. Wrap your brush and repeat, so you do not get dark color from above. Use white and yellow to highlight bright places.

The lesson is over.

You may need to need several times to put correctly strokes. Do not retreat, continue. Do not be afraid of mistakes because you will still do them. Write this picture 3 times and for the fourth time you will succeed correctly. Use art panels, they are inexpensive and good for practice.
