Drawings on the theme of space 12 years. Space adventures: draw space in different techniques

I dare not tell my story, how I painted the autumn landscape in watercolor, a master class ... In my opinion, a master class is when you already masterfully draw some kind of plot, have a clear action plan and have the right to teach others about it.

I autumn forest I rarely paint en plein air, it’s good if one or two studies a year, so every time for me it’s the same search as for a novice watercolorist.

However, the last etude turned out to be quite successful, on my Instagram it was a success, and I promised that I would show the stages of writing this study. I'm keeping my promise.

Marina Trushnikova "Autumn Forest", watercolor, 22x25 cm

I consider the purpose of this demonstration not only to show you how I painted the autumn forest in watercolor in stages, but also voice your thoughts, why I took this or that step in my work.

I guess understanding "WHY" is more useful than knowing "how the author did it".

I'll start with a description of the materials, because anyway, someone will ask... 🙂

Etude "Autumn Forest". Materials:

I painted on Arshes watercolor paper, 100% cotton, 300 g/m, Grain Fin texture (medium grain).

Paints "Nevskaya Palitra":

• Indian yellow
• Indian golden
• Venetian red
• Lilac quinacridone
• Blue
• Sepia

• Large round squirrel
• Medium round with a fine tip, synthetic
• Fine brush with an elongated bristle (liner brush or needle brush)

What is the difficulty of drawing an autumn landscape with limited space?

That is why I started the sketch with caution and a willingness to spoil everything...

Let's see how I managed as a result to maintain the integrity of the perception of the picture and not to dry the watercolor.

HOW TO DRAW AUTUMN LANDSCAPE WITH WATERCOLOR IN STEP:

Preparing paper for watercolor painting

I consider this moment technologically important.

Empirically, I came to the following option for preparing paper in the open air: moisten reverse side sketch, wait for the paper to stretch and attach the sheet with masking tape to the tablet. The top of the sheet remains dry.

So the sheet will not go in a wave, the paint will evenly spread inside the paper layer, it will not form sharp borders.

At home, I wet both sides of the paper, but in the open air there is no time to wait for drying.

Autumn landscape drawing

I do easy drawing. IN this case he is not complicated. It is important to find the ground line and place the main tree trunks.

All small parts I paint right away with a brush.

I did not photograph the drawing, because I was not sure of the result. After the first fillings, a work plan matured in my head, and I began to photograph the stages. So there will be more photos.

First fill

1. I'm starting to write a sketch autumn landscape from the light layer of the sky behind the trees.

I'm doing a very liquid fill with a gradient from pale blue at the top of the leaf to slightly warm near the horizon line.

2. Below is the surface of the earth. I stretch from a pale solution of Venetian Red to its mixture with Indian Gold at the bottom of the leaf.

When I paint the ground, I leave gaps between the horizontal strokes of the brush, so that there is a light effect on the lying leaves. This gives luminosity and airiness.

How to paint autumn trees with a splash

Since the trees here are in backlight, against the light, the distant leaves glow more, they are light, and the front ones are dark.

This is very handy when painting an autumn landscape in watercolor, because in watercolor we move from light to dark.

That's why I paint the crown, gradually increasing the tone of the foliage. I start with Indian yellow, then I mix with Indian golden, and in the end I will write the brightest crimson leaves simply with Indian golden.

I love this paint at Nevskaya Palitra - it is very juicy and allows you to give both light and dark shades yellow!

And now, attention, how I drew the crown to get away from detailing!

I sprayed it!

To repeat this trick, take a large soft brush that absorbs a lot of solution, and shaking it, spray paint from it onto the wet surface of the sketch.

This method does not give you tight control over the image of the foliage, it eliminates the detail.

Ink on wet paper begins to disperse in larger spots.

The second layer of spray is darker and a little thicker, the paint spreads less, the spots are more pronounced:

But cotton paper makes itself felt - it is still wet inside, and the paint spreads quite well.

To restore more gaps between the leaves, I stick a paper towel to the wet layer. She both dries and selects part of the layer:

When the layer is a little more dry, I sprinkle the brightest crimson leaves of Indian golden.

By the way, as you can see above, while I was waiting for the crown to dry out, I painted the ground with fallen leaves.

How to draw the surface of the earth in an autumn landscape

Remember a simple rule that will allow you to depict the earth as a lying, and not standing on end, horizontal surface.

Land on foreground should be darker than in the distance.

Those. at the bottom of the study, the color of the earth should be much darker:

I used a mixture of Venetian Red and Sepia to represent the ground. More sepia in the foreground to make the color darker.

Draw an autumn forest in watercolor:

tree trunks

I start painting tree trunks. Peering into the color of birches, I understand that they are shade pink! That's why you need to paint in the open air - not a single photo will show you such subtle nuances colors!

Therefore, I take Venetian red as the basis for the birch trunk.

For dark markings and other types of trees, I use a mixture of Blue and Sepia.

At the same time, with a paler solution of this color, I paint an array of trees in the distance, in the gap between the trunks.

To separate the tree trunks from the background and show the backlight, I scratch light lines along the outline of the trunk on the left with a map:

In the main color of the trunk, as it dries slightly, I enter black marks.

tree branches

The crown is dry. You can draw branches. For this I use fine brush with a long pile, which allows you to make calligraphically light flying lines.

Crown of trees. Using spray

Once again I return to the spray.

With a concentrated solution of Indian yellow, I spray on the crown of birches. Now the spots do not blur. So I spray thoughtfully. For this I tap with a large brush with paint on the shaft of another brush.

I add sprayed leaves on the foreground shrub. I use Indian yellow for this.

The final stages of DRAWING AUTUMN LANDSCAPE:

Generalization

At the end of the work, it is necessary to step back from it and see if there is any fragmentation, what can be combined?

In my case, I didn't like the rhythm of the trees on the right. (When I was drawing them, a local alcoholic approached me and tried to buy this sketch for 100 rubles. 🙂 I got excited and bumped the trunks as I saw them, without thinking about the composition...)

Therefore, I decide to darken the background behind the trunks and thereby combine the obvious stripes of the trunks into a larger mass. So the viewer's attention will be more drawn to the left side of the study, where you can clearly see sunlight through the trees.

Therefore, in the end, I intensified the dark tones of the black birch branches and marks on the trunks.

(If drawing trees and landscapes with them is difficult for you, check out the master class below!)

So let's recap.

I solved the difficult problem of a study with limited space due to the correct distribution of tone: distant plans are light, near ones are dark. This helped backlight.

In order not to go into detail, most I did the work in a raw way, I used a spray instead of painting the crown with strokes.

For a harmonious perception of the landscape, do not forget about the stage of generalization and the placement of accents in the darkest and lightest colors.

One of the rainiest seasons of the year is autumn. But at the same time, the trees put on elegant golden clothes, and before winter they are removed. You can draw autumn with colored pencils in its different directions: “Indian summer” with a warm sun, autumn time with golden leaves, or the time when it rains incessantly and yellowed leaves fall from the trees.

Necessary materials:

• colored pencils in brown, blue, blue, orange yellow and red;
• regular pencil;
• paper;
• eraser.

Drawing steps:

1. Draw the horizon on a piece of paper in the form of a long line.

2. Now let's add some trees to the skyline. They should not be detailed as they are far away. A little below the horizon there will be a lake. Let's draw the reflection and vibration of water. From the upper side of the left side, we begin to draw a winding coast.

3. In the foreground, draw a big tree with few leaves.

4. Draw a square on the right side of the lower side. Let's draw a line in the middle. Let's make a frame in our picture in the form simple lines. You can make some elements from the picture go beyond the drawn frame.

5. Now draw the sheet and add veins to it from the middle.

6. Draw general form autumn leaf around the guide lines.

7. We remove the square around the finished autumn leaf with an eraser.

8. Then let's move on to applying color. First of all, we take yellow pencil and apply it to the tree that is in the foreground, and the autumn forest in the background.

9. We will decorate the foliage of the tree and the forest with an orange pencil, since we have a golden autumn. In some places we will enhance the color. The trunk of the tree will be with a brown tint.

10. We will decorate the sky and the lake with a blue pencil. For the depth of color and brightness of the picture, add strokes with a blue pencil.

11. Decorate the shore in the foreground with yellow and brown pencils.

12. Let's move on to the autumn leaf, which is located in the lower right corner. To decorate it, take a yellow, orange and brown pencil.

13. Finally, we will outline all the elements in the finished drawing and give the frame straight lines using a ruler.

This is where our drawing is ready. We've got autumn!

Absolutely any novice artist sooner or later thinks about how to draw an autumn landscape. It is this season that makes nature extraordinarily bright and beautiful, inspiring painters to create truly magnificent landscapes. Of course, learning how to draw an autumn landscape in stages is best done by sketching from nature somewhere in a park or outside the city. But, if this is not possible, then photographs can also be used. But to understand how to draw an autumn landscape in stages for beginners without nature, or the photo, most likely, will not work. After all, drawing a landscape from imagination, you can easily admit various errors.

We draw an autumn landscape in stages

• Step 1

  Select the object of the future drawing. Let it be two trees growing on a hillock near a wide river. First of all, we outline the horizon line and perspective

• Step 2

  The trees are in the foreground, we denote the trunks with two lines.

  
  
• Step 3

  The next step is to designate the left bank of the river

  
  
• Step 4

  We do the same with the right one, draw a winding coastline

  
  
• Step 5

  How to draw autumn as believable as possible? It is important to be inquisitive and attentive, to notice even the smallest details. For example, so that the trees do not hang in the air, you need to "tie" them to the ground with a small mound covered with stunted grass

  
  
• Step 6

  Trees in late autumn lose almost all foliage. So you need to pay more attention to drawing the tree trunk, its branches, the visible part of the rhizome.

  
  
• Step 7

  No matter how hard the wind tries, a few leaves are still holding on to the branches, not in a hurry to fall to the ground

  
  
• Step 8

  Trees grow on a high hill, show reeds below

  
  
• Step 9

  Cover the hill with hatching of different intensity, so you can show the volume and texture of the bare earth.

  
  
• Step 10

  Using the hatching technique, draw a distant plan of the forest on the right

  
  
• Step 11

  In autumn, life practically freezes, with strokes of a pencil, show the unhurried course of the river, the blurry silhouette of the forest

  
  
• Step 12

  This pore is characterized by prolonged rains, cold showers. The sky is covered with solid clouds and lead clouds

  
  
• Step 13

  Birds fly away to warm lands, draw a crane wedge, which, heading south, will definitely return to its native lands in the spring

  
  
• Step 14

  To revive the drawing a little, you can show the remnants of the web, in which he fell asleep soundly, "went into hibernation" a forest dweller - a spider

  
  
• Step 15

  With the help of highlights, we give the picture a cold look, the sun practically does not heat, frost glistens on the fallen leaves

  
  

How to draw autumn with colored pencils

  On the sheet, outline the location of the main objects - Christmas trees, oak, birch and fields in the distance;

  
  
• Step 2

  Draw an oak, depicting its massive branches and a hollow;

  
  
• Step 3

  Draw a birch next to an oak. Mark the grass under the trees and draw a mushroom near the birch;

  
  
• Step 4

  draw fir branches and the leaves on them. Draw the fields and outlines of the forest in the distance. Draw grass, mushrooms and leaves that have fallen to the ground;

  
  
• Step 5

  Draw a field in the distance. In the sky, depict cranes flying to warm lands;
