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, whereas the process of drawing the landscape is delivering relaxing pleasure. It seems to many that draw a landscape picture easily, but often they are mistaken, because to draw a good picture, you need to know the basis of the image of the perspective and the location of the blueberries.
Tip: Before starting to perform a big picture, practice making small sketches for which the half of the A4 sheet is 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 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 at 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 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 you like photos 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 drew in kindergarten). In no case do not use the ruler, draw the lines you need strictly by hand. Otherwise you will never learn to draw. Then schematically mark the 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 Food forms 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, the shadow of the tree must be worked out.
Remember, the closer the subject is, theover it looks brighter, respectively, the farther, the same hatching is paler. Also remember to draw a falling shadow from the Christmas tree.
Draw a snowy landscape with watercolor paints
Perhaps, watercolor paints are more difficult to learn how to draw, because they require a lot of water. They constantly spread out, and if you are inappropriate to make the wrong smear, then unlike Guachi, watercolor will not be able to overlap it. As they say in the art school - wash off the excess color from paper will help abundant casting 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 must have elasticity. The brush from the hair is best suited.
- Draw the line of the horizon, 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, work the trees lines. Since this is the back background, try to be pale.
- Foreground branches make clearer.
- Draw a path with dark colors, given the location of the shadows. Also, laughter of snow mark the gray paint.
Important! Although watercolor requires a lot of water, try not to overdo it, otherwise, the paper sheet will bend.
In fact, learning how it is not difficult to draw, the main thing is to show your imagination. If you do not work 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.
