Come to the village for the summer
Find your corner there
A modest house left by someone
There is a stove in the kitchen, the ceiling is low,
Three windows, simple porch
You will always be sheltered with love,
To your tree with a thick crown
Your birds will arrive in the spring.
Their trills will wake you up in the morning,
Sweet air will rush through the window.
You have never eaten such delicious porridge,
We haven't breathed so easily for a long time.
Draw some water from the well,
Stand barefoot on the grass
You can heal here with silence,
In a wooden Russian hut,
Chop wood, warm up in Russian,
And putting on a simple shirt,
Take a walk in the nearby forest to pick mushrooms,
Listen to the nightingale's tune,
To wash in the Russian bathhouse in the evening,
Sit on the porch, breathe,
Drink samovar tea
And go to the stove to sleep.
Everything here is warm, everything here is simple,
The heart does not beat here, but sings,
Everything here is Russian, ours, dear,
Our homeland is still waiting for us.
-sheet of A3 paper
-simple pencil, eraser
-wax crayons
-colour pencils

Progress of the master class:

We begin work with a pencil sketch of the drawing. First we draw the houses: in the foreground there is a large house, in the background there is a smaller one.

Next, we build a landscape composition around our houses. In the background we draw a fence and bushes.

Let's move to the foreground of the picture, there will be a river with a bridge.

We draw lines of hills (ground), fence and bushes, horizon line.

Next we start working with wax crayons. We draw a spruce forest on the horizon line.

Then we draw the sky with the edge of a blue chalk, leaving areas (clouds) not filled with color. Using a purple pencil we apply shadows to the sky, making it more picturesque.

In the foreground we work with wax crayons. We shade the earth and the river in the direction of the lines of the hills and the river.

We decorate the background fields with light green wax chalk. In front of the small house, we add touches of swamp green to the light green color.

Using the edge of a brown chalk (side), we decorate the walls of the house, then traditionally draw the contours of the walls and logs. Next is the roof and windows.

Then the background house, we work with crayons.

We outline the contours of the bushes with black chalk.

We decorate the bridge with brown chalk, outline its contours with black and draw out the boards.

Next, draw with the side of a brown chalk and paint over the fence. Then we outline in bright brown the contours of the boards that make up the fence.

We draw wavy blue lines-waves (crayons) on the river. We draw the leaves of the reeds in different shades of green (pencils), and the cones on the reeds in brown.

Our rural landscape is complete.

Thank you for your attention!

Instructions

Before you start drawing a village, you should know that the picture fully conveys the artist’s mood and is a flight of his thoughts and fantasies, and, therefore, the more positive the mood, the richer your imagination, the more emotional your artistic creation will be.

Prepare all the necessary materials and equipment for painting (easel, paints, etc.).
Remember the moments when you were or passed by. Think about what you remember most about what you saw and heard once. It is important to notice in the picture, it is important.
Take a look at the masterpieces of artists who depicted the rural landscape.

Think over your picture in your head, draw it mentally. When drawing a village, remember that the main thing here will be to convey air, because there is an abundance of it in villages. It’s not for nothing that they say that it is in the countryside that you can breathe deeply. However, here it should also be taken into account that this is not only fresh air, it is also nature, ancient houses with carved windows, unusual benches, wells, collapsed barns, dog houses, vegetable gardens, village children playing in the yard, ponds and much more.

Sketch the picture in your head onto a sheet of paper with a simple pencil. Start drawing small - from houses, paths near the house, walking chickens, raspberries in the garden, beehives near the house with grandfather collecting honey, etc. After all, in any of these moments there is rural life, and, therefore, it is from them that you can create a real rural landscape, collecting small particles of thoughts piece by piece.

Start coloring the resulting sketches, giving them color. Remember that you can paint a rural landscape not only with watercolors, it can also be colored pencils, charcoal, oil, gouache, pastel, ink, etc. The beauty and uniqueness of your painting depends on what material you choose.

Place the picture in a wooden frame.
Hang the resulting artistic creation on the wall, give it to friends, or place it by the fireplace.

The atmosphere of a place and the character of the people living there can be conveyed without depicting the inhabitants. For example, the “Russian soul” can be breathed into a minimalist drawing, which depicts just one modest-looking hut.

Instructions

Place the sheet horizontally. Use a pencil line to limit the space that the house will occupy. Divide the sheet in half with a horizontal axis, then lower it down about 2 cm. The lower border of the object will be at this level. Leave the same amount of free space on the right and top; there should be twice as much space on the left.

Divide the distance from the right to the left border of the picture in half with a vertical axis. The corner of the house will pass through it, to the right of it is the back wall, and to the left is the side wall.

Measure the length of the back wall of the house. Place the same piece vertically on the left side of the sheet. This is the height of the house from this end. On the right it is one and a half times higher. Divide the height of the house on the right side in half. At this level, draw the boundary between the wall and the roof. On the left, the wall should be slightly higher than the roof. Draw horizontal lines for the walls and roof. They are not parallel, but converge as they move away from the corner of the house to the sides.

On the left wall of the house. The same laws of perspective apply to its sides; they are not parallel to each other and are raised upward more than the opposite sides of the wall. To check whether you have correctly reflected the slope of a particular line, use the sighting method. Place a pencil on a line in a photograph or hold it against a real object. Maintaining the degree of inclination, place the pencil on the corresponding line in the drawing. Draw the attic window in the same way.

Erase all the auxiliary lines that you drew during construction. Draw the walls into their constituent logs. They also differ in width at the corner and at the opposite edge: they appear narrower at the end.

Mark tree trunks to the right and left of the house. In the foreground draw a rickety fence. Color the drawing with watercolors, gouache or pencils. The color of the tree changes on each log that makes up the hut. On the left side it is not very noticeable, so you can fill the side wall with wide colored spots. On the right you need to paint each log individually. Their upper half has a warm brown tint, the lower half is gray-blue. On some boards, leave almost white highlights from the sun's rays penetrating through the tree crowns.

The Ukrainian hut differs from the Russian hut in its internal structure and appearance. If you need to draw a picturesque village, find photographs of original Ukrainian buildings and use them as models. You may need an image of a hut to illustrate a work of art about the distant past; in this case, find posters of suitable paintings.

You will need

- paper;
- pencil;
- paints;
- brushes;
- photographs of a Ukrainian hut.

Instructions

All huts are rectangular or square, like most all houses and buildings. The dwelling is extremely simple and usually does not even have a porch. Therefore, you need to mark the dimensions of the hut and its roof on a piece of paper with long, bold lines.

Make the foundation slightly wider than the walls of the house. Windows in a house are traditionally made small so as not to let the heat in in the summer and not to let the heat out in the winter. They are often closed from the outside with wooden shutters. Mark locations for window openings and open shutters. Don't forget about the front door of your home. it was made from massive boards with a forged handle.

The roof of the hut is made of golden straw, with a chimney peeking out of it. The covering is usually “stitched” with two seams, at the top and bottom of the roof. Draw all these details schematically and make a sketch of the future painting. Add picturesque elements around the hut that will add color to the piece. This could be a rickety fence with painted pots on it, various tools and utensils in the yard, or a well.

Leave the walls of the hut snow-white, because the zealous and neat owners carefully looked after their house and whitewashed it almost every year. Also, the walls were often decorated with drawings of various flowers, herbs and trees. Bright ones were popular. Paint some flowers on the walls of the hut.

Depict the curtains in the open window as embroidered with national ornaments. Correct and clarify the drawing, erase unnecessary lines and add clarity to the outline.

Color the drawing with the colors you are used to. Mix colors more boldly to make the picture expressive and bright. Draw a flock of fussy chickens led by an important multi-colored one with a red crest. Picture how a cat walks along the golden thatch of the roof of a hut in search of mice. The dog is dozing on the lawn, heated by the bright warm sun.

Ukrainian hut drawing

Rural landscape is a popular genre of fine art. The village has been painted by many artists from ancient times to the present day. There is also nothing stopping a novice painter from trying. But, of course, before you paint the landscape with paints, you need to make a pencil sketch.

Fields and forests

Lay the sheet horizontally. You need to convey a large space, because the village is surrounded by fields and meadows. Draw a horizontal line approximately in the middle of the sheet. However, the horizon line may be a little higher or a little lower, depending on what kind of buildings you are going to draw. Behind the village there may be, for example, a forest. Draw a curved line above the horizon line. The easiest way is to draw it with zigzags of different heights, because the tops of the trees have different heights.

Christmas trees have sharp tops, while other trees have more rounded tops, so it’s better to draw them by alternating zigzag and wavy sections.

Road

The road goes through the village to the forest. Close to the viewer it is wide, but as it moves away it narrows, and near the horizon it can even converge into one point. The road usually has two tracks, with a strip of grass in the middle. A village street can be uneven - sometimes a hill, sometimes a hollow. If you're drawing a hill, the width of the road doesn't change much as you get closer to the top. At the edge of the depression the lines break off, and if the opposite slope is visible, the ruts on it are much closer to each other.

The road does not have to be straight; you can draw it with an arc. But in any case, the farthest part will be narrower than the closer one.

Houses and fences

Mark the outlines of houses on both sides of the road. They are drawn quite simply: a square or horizontal rectangle, with a triangular roof on top. It is better to place houses with their facades facing the viewer. In the middle of the front wall, mark the position of the window. Mark where the shutters and trim will end. The edges of the platbands can be straight or have a more complex and bizarre configuration. Draw the logs using long horizontal lines. Several houses can stand at an angle - then the side parts of their roofs look like diamonds. Bushes usually grow around village houses. At this stage, these are just white spots, limited by a contour of any shape.

Grass, trees, well and inhabitants

Every village house must have several trees, but not the same ones as in the neighboring forest. Draw the trunk - these are just two not very even parallel lines. The upper part of the trunk is covered with a crown, which is an irregular rounded spot. zigzag strokes of different lengths. By the way, in different parts of the drawing the strokes may have different directions. You can draw several objects characteristic of the village - for example, a well. It could be just a rectangle with transverse stripes. But you can make a well with a triangular roof, and with a crane - the lower pillar is a narrow strip, the upper part, also a strip, is located at an obtuse angle to the lower one.

A Russian hut, a hut, a house in a village, a natural landscape depicting wooden houses is a subject of inspiration for many artists. A Russian hut is easy to depict by drawing simple lines and geometric shapes, so a child can draw it. And if you add more realistic details, shadows and perspective, you can create a real masterpiece. In this lesson we will learn how to draw a Russian hut outside and inside with all its components. So, let's begin!

Hut outside

First, we will learn how to draw a Russian hut from the outside step by step. For clarity, each new detail in the image will be highlighted in red. You can do all the work with a simple pencil.

Stage 1
We draw the general outlines of the future house. Two inclined lines at the top are the roof, and three lines are the bases and walls of the house.

To make it symmetrical, draw a vertical line passing through the top of the roof and the middle of the base of the house. Next, build lines to the right and left relative to the center one.

Stage 2
Now let's move on to the roof indicated above in red. Let's draw the lines as shown in the figure.

Stage 3
Every house has a foundation on which the rest of the structure stands. Let's draw the base in the form of a rectangle.

Stage 4
To make it clear that the house is made of logs, let’s draw circles located one above the other near the right and left walls.

Stage 5
Traditionally, one or two windows are drawn in the image of a house. And as we look at the house from the front, we see the third attic window, pointed at the top according to the shape of the roof.

Stage 6
Let's draw the shutters in the shape of rectangles and complete the attic windows, as shown in the image below.

Stage 7
Let's finish drawing the two main windows. Drawing windows will be described in detail later in this lesson.

Stage 8
The windows in the Russian hut were decorated decoratively. They painted flowers on the shutters and nailed down patterns carved from wood. Let's draw decorative planks above the windows, as shown in the figure. And, of course, what would a hut be without a chimney? Let’s draw a chimney.

Stage 9
Let's depict the plank and stone surface of the house.

The house is ready! Looks interesting.

Draw with a pencil

Drawing with a pencil has its own techniques, so in this part of the lesson we will separately look at how to draw a Russian hut with a pencil. Use the basics of construction from the first part of the lesson, add details from your imagination, change their places, the main thing here is to draw a house with a pencil.

Draw the general outlines of the house with a thin line.

We outline the roof lines as shown in the figure. You can put more pressure on the pencil, or superimpose some strokes on others.

It is better to trace at the end of the drawing, in case you have to erase with an eraser.

Draw windows and logs on top of the wall line.

We draw the details: shutters, pipes, boards and carvings on the cut of the logs.

The surface of the logs has a rounded shape, so a shadow is formed at the junction between them. Let's depict the shadow with light shading.

A glare forms on the protruding part of the logs - this place should remain light. Let's paint over the turns of the logs so that the shading is slightly lighter than the shadow area. This will create the volume.

Now let's complete the drawing. Using the same principle as shown above, we will depict chiaroscuro on the windows, roof, pipe and other details that will be in your drawing. Using strokes we will depict the sky and grass - the closer it is to the viewer, the thinner the grass will be, and vice versa. You can experiment, the main thing is that the lines are light and confident.

Decoration of a Russian hut

In this part of the lesson we will learn how to draw the inside of a Russian hut.

We create perspective. We draw 2 rectangles - one inside the other, and connect the corners, as shown in the figure. The size and location of the rectangles depends on what kind of room we want to get in the end.

We arrange objects. In a Russian hut we see a stove, a bench, shelves for dishes and other things, a cradle, a spindle and an icon. To correctly place objects in perspective, you need to draw lines parallel to the main ones shown above. It's not difficult, the main thing is to draw the lines evenly and imagine what it will look like as a result.

Add light and shade to the finished room. Let's imagine where the light comes from and which surface will remain light. Let's see in what places the shadow from objects will fall. To show the wooden surface inside the house, we depict the relief of the board using the shadow.

Red corner

The red corner in a Russian hut is a place with an icon table and a bench. Let's see how to draw the red corner of a Russian hut.

Draw the room in perspective, as shown above. Add a table and bench to the room.

In the corner of the room, closer to the ceiling, draw a rectangle - this will be an icon. We draw an arc from the bottom of the rectangle, draw a circle on top and paint the background around them. We draw a shelf for the icon. If desired, you can draw the icon in more detail.

Bake

It remains to consider in detail how to draw a Russian stove in a hut and windows. Let's draw a stove.

We draw a stove according to the laws of perspective described above.

Drawing a stove with small details.

Professional drawing.

Window

In conclusion, let’s see how you can draw the window of a Russian hut.

The carving on the windows can be a pattern or any other image. Can be part of the shutter, or attached separately.

The carving can be made in volume, projection, or flat.

For a window design, you can take into account the time of year in order to depict patterns similar to the weather on the shutters, patterns on the glass from frost, if, for example, it is winter. You can combine the design with the finished carving.

Is painting a talent or a skill? Expert opinion: Why can some people draw and others can’t? It's like asking why some people are blonde and others are dark. Because some things are given to us by nature, and some are not. You can learn, you can hone a skill, improve and persevere, but that’s something else. Initially, the ability to draw is rather a gift... Elizaveta Ishchenko, art director of the Buffer Bay company In December 1911, the German impressionist Lovis Corinth suffered a stroke. The artist was paralyzed on the right side of his body. For some time he even stopped drawing - he forgot how. Modern scientists explain this “metamorphosis” by the fact that the ability to draw directly depends on the functioning of the brain. So, in 2010, Rebecca Chamberlain and her colleagues from University College London decided to find out why some people draw from birth and others do not. It turned out that people who cannot draw see differently from artists. When looking at an object, they misjudge its size, shape, and color. That is why they are unable to accurately transfer a visible object onto paper. In addition, the predisposition to the visual arts depends on memory. People who do not know how to draw cannot remember, for example, the angle between lines and, accordingly, translate it into a drawing. Expert opinion: It seems to me that absolutely everyone draws from childhood. But some are less gifted. Some people just fall in love with drawing, others don't. Those who fall in love later become artists. If, of course, they show hard work and perseverance and if they don’t let everyday worries drown out their love for creativity. Vrezh Kirakosyan, portrait artist, hero of the “No Excuses” column Justin Ostrofsky and his colleagues from Brooklyn College of the City University of New York share approximately the same opinion as scientists from London. They believe that artists have more developed visual perception and are better able to determine which element needs to be drawn and which can be omitted. Expert opinion: Actually, this is not such a simple question. Because there is another hidden thing: what does it mean to be able to draw? This is where the dog is buried. This is the main reason for disputes and disagreements. For perfectionists, being able to draw means being able to paint an extremely realistic picture, indistinguishable from a photograph. It is very difficult for such people to learn, because such a skill requires a huge investment of time and effort. It may take more than one year to learn and polish the skill, but the person will still be dissatisfied with himself and will not consider that he knows how to draw. Plus, many people eventually forget what the word “learn” means when it comes to training the body. Adults believe that learning means reading books and memorizing information. And realistic drawing is a practical skill that involves, first of all, the development of the eye. It doesn't happen overnight. At first it doesn’t look very similar, weak, bad. And many people find it very difficult to cope with disappointment at the initial stage. They quit, telling themselves something like: “Nothing will work out anyway” or “I probably don’t have the ability.” And completely in vain. Practice shows that in drawing, quantity inevitably turns into quality. In addition, there are other people who have less objective and more imaginative thinking. They are less demanding about the realism of the image; the transfer of state, feelings, and emotions is more important to them. Such people learn more easily, they see their progress, starting from the very first works (of course, a lot here depends on the teacher, on his ability to draw the attention of students to the strengths of their work). They end up drawing. They may also be critical of their skills and believe that they don’t know how to draw or don’t know how to draw well enough. But this does not prevent them from being creative, and it is in the process of creative work that learning occurs. As I already said, quantity turns into quality. Alexandra Merezhnikova, artist, teacher Surprisingly, long before the studies described, the artist (and psychologist) Kimon Nicolaides argued that the main problem of people who think that they cannot draw is that they see objects incorrectly. According to the artist, the ability to draw is not a talent, but a skill. Or rather, 5 skills: vision of the edge; vision of space; vision of relationships; vision of shadow and light; vision of the whole. Exercises to develop these skills are outlined in the book The Natural Way to Draw. There is only one sure way to learn to draw - the natural way. It has nothing to do with aesthetics or technique. It is directly related to the accuracy and precision of observations, and by this I mean physical contact with a wide variety of objects through all five senses. Kimon Nikolaidis Proponents of the right-hemisphere drawing method also believe that the “secret” lies in the head. But the reason some people are unable to draw is that they (mistakenly) use the left, rational, hemisphere of the brain in the process of artistic creation. The right-brain drawing method was developed by art teacher and PhD Betty Edwards in the late 1970s. Her book The Artist Within You (1979) became a bestseller and was translated into dozens of languages and went through several editions. Edwards' concept was based on the scientific research of neuropsychologist, professor of psychobiology, Nobel Prize winner Roger Sperry. Dr. Sperry studied "functional specialization of the cerebral hemispheres." According to his theory, the left hemisphere of the brain uses analytical and verbal modes of thinking, it is responsible for speech, mathematical calculations, and algorithms. The right hemisphere, on the contrary, is “creative”, thinks in images and is responsible for the perception of color, comparison of sizes and perspective of objects. Dr. Edwards called these features “L-mode” and “P-mode.” For most people, the left hemisphere dominates when processing information. 90% of people who think that they cannot draw continue to “use” the left hemisphere during artistic creativity, instead of turning on “P-mode” and perceiving holistic visual images. Expert opinion: There are no people who do not draw at all. There are circumstances - parents, teachers, society - that create situations of “failure”. A person simply begins to think too badly about himself. Undoubtedly, there are talented people, but everyone else has the opportunity to draw, but the desire is discouraged. People come to my classes who have only dreamed of painting for many years, but the fear was too great. And in class there comes a buzz. No matter how much you run from your dream, it will still overtake you. Sofia Charina, painting teacher To understand how this works, imagine that you want to draw a chair. You say to yourself: “Let me draw a chair.” The left hemisphere instantly translates the word “chair” into symbols (sticks, squares). As a result, instead of drawing a chair, you draw the geometric shapes that your left hemisphere thinks the chair is made of. Therefore, the essence of the right-hemisphere drawing method is to temporarily suppress the work of the left hemisphere. Thus, science leans towards the fact that the ability to draw is a skill that anyone can acquire. Expert opinion: All people can draw. Some people just don't know about it yet. This is how the education system in our world works, which encourages the development of logical thinking and pays very little attention to the intuitive creative development of the individual. For example, I have classical drawing skills. During classes at the university, we spent 16-20 academic hours drawing just one production, so that everything would be perfect, classical. Then I studied at the British Higher School of Design, where my world turned upside down. There were people in the same group studying with me who had picked up a pencil for the first time, and they did it better than me. At first I didn’t understand: how can this be?! I am a designer, I spent so much time in drawing and painting classes, and my fellow students at that time studied mathematics, physics, philosophy, etc. But sometimes their work is more interesting than mine. And only after the first semester of studying at Britanka I realized that everyone can draw! The most important thing is to want it and pick up a pencil or brush.

It is believed that a civilized person lives only in a well-organized city, while the labor force and alcoholics are concentrated in rural areas. The lack of electricity, running water, strip bars and other delights of luxurious life attract only masochistic naturalists. And yet life flourishes, and today we will learn how to draw a village. The village is a location with increased difficulty of access for scooters; in many ways it is more natural to get there by regular flight or. It is an endangered habitat with a population slightly larger than the number of Jews in New Zealand. The lack of benefits for entrepreneurs encourages local residents to become businessmen-moonshiners, and the conditions of increased swampiness and the massive spread of living creatures of all kinds provoke men to become tractor drivers and combine operators, and women to become milkmaids.

The round-the-clock work cycle in the village naturally repels lovers of Saturday evening movements, as well as office plankton and philosophers. For entertainment, races through the forest and wall-to-wall fights are common. It’s scary in winter, when all the amenities in the yard become difficult to access due to frost of -30 degrees below zero.

However, according to former intelligent people there is the following classification:

The village is an area that includes several wooden houses, a cultural club for those under 50 youth and Here, an abundance of amenities is represented by a stall with Prima cigarettes and an open area for the timely management of human needs.
The village is a pumped-up version of the village, here the population can be up to 2000 people. It brings at least great benefits in the form of fresh produce, meat, etc. It is distinguished by the highest concentration of sober people and shops with licensed vodka.
Settlement. In which I, talented and inexorable, actually live. The transitional mutation from village to city is the apotheosis of all the delights of urban and rural life. There are non-GMO products here, and nature is all around, if you need it, they will even provide you with the Internet and there are toilets in the house. In blessed villages there are sometimes even large cinemas and entertainment complexes. We don’t have those, so of all the available entertainment, I chose pencil drawing. This is what this treatise is about.

Let's start with, gentlemen.

How to draw a village with a pencil step by step

Step one. We draw the contours of two buildings, use a cube to mark a place for the cart, and below there will be a haystack. And a random tree on the left.
Step two. Let’s add some liveliness, sketch out the tree and hay with fine shading, and poke some wheels into the cart.
Step three. Let's sketch the transport with a pencil, and do the same with the covering of the roof of the barn. Let's make the tree a little blacker and more noticeable.
Step four. Let's sketch out some more shading, sketch out the background landscape, leaves, something like doors in the building. Several lines to highlight the land and the neighboring building.
I would like to offer you more drawing tutorials.
