For work we will need: a landscape sheet, a set of colored pencils, a black gel pen or a simple pencil.
...If you see a river in the picture,
Or spruce and white frost, or garden and clouds,
Or a snowy plain, or a field and a hut,
The picture must be called - scenery.
A landscape painting allows the artist to express his attitude to the world in a broad sense, to the natural world that surrounds us. Nature brings people together and often gives them similar moods, thoughts and experiences.
How beautiful are the beloved spaces,
The blue distance is calling,
The rustle of grass and birch trees are dear to me,
Keeps the memory with tenderness in the heart!(Oleg Mandrakov)
Our beautiful nature often changes her outfits.
I love you, my native expanses,
the greenery of the forest and the smell of the fields,
blue lakes, majestic mountains,
the many faces of my Russia.
And the dawn among the curly birches,
and the sunset by the blue river,
the noise of acacias and tired maples.
I’m happy to live on the sidelines of my native land.
Spring waters spill,
Or the golden leaf fall swirls.
All the quirks of nature are good,
I enjoy any weather.(Alexey Luchinin)
Golden autumn is joyful, lushly harvested, rich in harvest, they love it for its generosity, for the richness of fields, gardens, for clear days of azure-blue skies, for the beauty of forests painted with gold and crimson paint.
Today I propose to draw an autumn landscape with colored pencils. The main characters of our landscape will be the birches on the river bank, and the church in the background.
First, let's make a sketch of the main plot of the future picture. You can use a simple pencil, but I took a black gel pen.
We begin to tint the sky and river with a blue pencil. We place the strokes horizontally.
Using a darker blue pencil, changing the direction, we apply a second layer of shading.
We introduce a purple pencil into the sky and the river, and at the same time we paint over the trunks of the birch trees.
Using a yellow pencil, we begin to draw the crown of the birch tree. We place the strokes horizontally.
Let's paint the ground under the birch tree, the nearest hill on the opposite bank and two trees in front of the church with yellow.
Use a brown pencil to shade the leaves in the crown of the birches. We put short strokes in different directions. We lightly introduce the same color into the river under the birch and under the trees near the church.
Enter green into the crown of a birch tree.
We paint over the distant hill with a burgundy-brown pencil and introduce this color into the river under the birch tree.
Using a dark green pencil we draw the foliage of the bushes, tall grass along the river bank and paint over the foreground of the bank where the birches grow.
Draw blades of grass with a brown pencil. We put the hatching in different directions - this creates the feeling of swaying grass. We also emphasize the tops of the hills with shading.
We also put light brown shading behind the birches.
Using a black pencil we make a drawing on the trunks of birch trees.
We introduce black strokes into the crown of birches.
Using a green pencil, we make a net shading in the background, behind the birch trees, and paint over the black background.
Making burgundy stains.
We insert a red pencil into the foliage of the bushes.
We decorate the church and the trees in front of it.
We color the river: use a light blue pencil to make horizontal and vertical strokes. We paint the space unevenly to create the feeling of water movement.
In the background, behind the birches, we will draw the spruce trees with a black pencil.
Now, using broad strokes, we paint over the entire crown of the birch trees with a yellow pencil. And we introduce the same color into the river.
I'll take a pencil and draw a forest,
I will draw fields and a river snake.
So that there is peace and tranquility on this Earth... (Terenty Travnik)
The drawing is ready, but at the very beginning, for the sketch, I used a helium pen. In some places in the drawing the drawing line comes to the fore. I suggest smoothing out these transitions. To do this, using the same black pen, we emphasize with shading the pattern on the trunks of the birches and the conspicuous line of the river.
Although the Lord caused many problems (not counting illness, crime, hunger, poverty, wars, corruption and Russian pop music), he still managed to create a good atmosphere of life on our planet. Land and water are often capricious, arranging mass sacrifices. But in some places it turned out quite well, you can even take a bunch of cute photos. But we can dig even deeper. In this lesson you will learn how to draw nature using a simple pencil. After that, you can take your drawing tools and feel free to go to a cozy place to create an indescribable masterpiece. Nature - symbolic name for everything that the eyes see. The only exceptions can be considered plastic or reality shows, the rest refers to one formal organism that controls life and has some strange plan for the production and provision of its vital functions. Like an ordinary stern boss, nature easily removes any office plankton, sometimes entire species, and, like any girl, loves whims and antics. The last critical days of this lady ended with the birth of Hitler, Hussein and Justin Bieber, which had a tremendous impact on the state of the planet as a whole. It may seem that nature is evil and impeccable, but in fact, it doesn’t care exactly the same way as a dog does. ethnic origin fleas in her fur. Suddenly it turns out that nature needs help, and some people firmly believe in this, while at the same time they cannot even protect themselves from the local punks. If it suddenly turns out that you are nature itself, then here are your privileges:
- You are beautiful because you are the very concept of existence.
- You exist, although you will never really understand it.
- You own all the valuable metals on the planet, which means there is a shortage cash don't suffer.
- Your portraits hang in almost every house on every wall.
- There is no need to worry that you made a mistake, your mistake will either end up in a freak circus or in the red book.
- You can always have fireworks from volcanoes.
- You put a bolt on the theory of relativity, since you can be in all places at the same time.
- You can cure cancer, but no one will believe you.
Now take a pencil in your hands and try to draw Mother Nature step by step.
How to draw nature with a pencil step by step
Step one. We immediately highlight with lines a small pond with banks, and on the banks we will draw several trees with the same lines. A few circles in the water will serve to transform them into ducks. 
Step two. Below we draw tall grass, the circles slowly turn into birds. We carefully outline the edges of the banks with a thick line. 
Step three. In this step, turn your attention to the background behind the horizon line. Let's draw some clouds there. 
Step four. Now draw small waves and shadows on the water, make the grass thicker, and shade the background. 
Step five. Sketch the rest of the missing places on the trees and ground, and then carefully finish the drawing by shading the ducks.

Landscape is a type of fine art that depicts the pristine beauty of nature. A landscape artist has unlimited imagination, since there is a lot of new and surprising things in nature. A painting depicting nature can decorate a home and give a cozy mood, while the process of painting a landscape itself brings relaxing pleasure. Many people think that they should draw landscape painting easy, but often they make mistakes, because in order to draw good picture, you need to know the basics of perspective and the placement of light and shade.
Tip: Before you start big picture, practice making small sketches, for which half of an A4 sheet is suitable.
How to draw a landscape with a pencil
- To draw a good picture, it is difficult to limit yourself to just one pencil, since you will need at least three: soft (B), hard (H) and medium (HB), as well as a very soft eraser. First, practice the basics of shading, as shown in the picture:
- Thus, see how hard you need to press on the pencil to achieve this or that color. Also try to draw a ball and shade it, using the drawing for clarity:
- This will help you learn the placement of highlights and shadows. To draw a landscape, you can look out the window, go outside, or first try a photo.
How to draw a landscape – a snow-covered Christmas tree
- Choose your favorite photo on the Internet. For clarity, we use this picture:
- First, choose the location of your Christmas tree on the sheet, estimate its size, then draw a triangle. Or, you can draw a stick (like we did in kindergarten). Do not use a ruler under any circumstances; lines must be drawn strictly by hand. Otherwise you will never learn to draw. Then sketch out the snow cover, making strokes from top to bottom, from the triangle or stick (depending on what you drew) with very thin lines so that they can be easily erased.
- Next, start working on the more prominent shapes of the spruce tree and draw snow on the branches. Darken those parts of the branches that are left without snow cover using soft pencil. Snow is never snow-white, so shade it a little and make it looser.
- When the Christmas tree is ready, draw a background behind it that you like. It could be snow fields or a small village with many houses.
Important! Even if you are painting a night landscape, the shadow of the tree must be worked out.
Remember, the closer the object is, the brighter it looks, and the further away, the paler the shading. Also do not forget to draw the falling shadow from the Christmas tree.
Drawing a snowy landscape with watercolors
Perhaps, watercolor paints the hardest ones to learn to draw because they require a lot of water. They constantly spread, and if you accidentally make the wrong stroke, then, unlike gouache, watercolor will not be able to cover it. As they say in art school– pouring plenty of tap water onto the piece of paper will help remove excess color from the paper. Remember that quality watercolor paints do not have white. The white tint is replaced by water.
You will need special paper (watercolor paper is very thick to the touch), paint and brushes: small, medium and large. Since watercolor is the least viscous paint, the brushes must have elasticity. Squirrel hair brushes are best.
- Draw a horizon line, mark a path.
- Next, paint the sky using yellow, blue and purple paint.
- Paint some trees in the distance using black, brown and green paint. First the colors, and then, when the background has dried, work on the lines of the trees. Since this is a background, try to keep it pale.
- Make the foreground branches more clear.
- Draw the path with dark colors, taking into account the location of the shadows. Also indicate the looseness of the snow with 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 to draw is not difficult, the main thing is to show your imagination. If you don't succeed the first time, don't worry. Not all great artists produced brilliant paintings the first time. Just enjoy the process. Even if you are just starting to draw, try to buy more at once good colors, brushes and pencils, because, for example, hairs coming out of a brush will immediately ruin your mood.
