Learning to draw a winter landscape.

Huge white snowdrifts, fluffy snowflakes, snow-covered trees - the beauty of the winter landscape inspires not only professional artists, but also amateurs to paint such a picture.
This article tells in detail how to depict a winter landscape on paper for a beginning artist.

First of all, we prepare:

1. Pencils of different colors
2. Rubber band for erasing
3. Simple pencil
4. White sheet of paper for drawing

Let's get creative:

• Making sketches of snowdrifts
• Adding the outline of a large oak tree with spreading branches

First step

• Near the majestic tree we sketch three circles of different sizes, standing on top of each other in decreasing order. In this way we form the figure of the future snowman

Second step

• We bring the snowman to life: we draw his eyes, nose, mouth, hands
• We decorate the head with a hat
• We paint buttons on clothes

Third step

• Let's draw a feeder
• Let's put the birds there
• Let's assign another bullfinch to the branch

Fourth step

• Let's draw the base for the tree behind the snowman, in the form of a triangle

Fifth step

• Let's form beautiful branches on the Christmas tree
• Add a bright bullfinch to the top of the head

Sixth step

• Fill the background with Christmas trees
• Let's put a ruffled bullfinch in the foreground

Seventh step

• Erase the contour lines of the Christmas tree

Eighth step

• Coloring spruce branches with a green pencil
• We wrap the greens in a snow coating with blue

Ninth step

• Removing unnecessary contours
• Draw a tree trunk with a brown pencil
• We paint the snow with blue and blue flowers

Tenth step

• Fill the background with a blue-green palette
• We paint the fir tree like an already painted fir tree.

Eleventh step

• Our oak will be brown, and the veins will be highlighted in dark brown.

Twelfth step

• Paint the sky with a dark blue palette
• Add volume using blue, lilac and purple shadows on the snowdrifts and snowman

Finishing touches

How to draw a beautiful winter landscape of nature with paints, watercolors, gouache step by step for beginners?

We prepare in advance:

1. Watercolor paper
2. Palette
3. Squirrel brushes, sizes 4 and 9
4. Any colors
5. Simple pencil
6. Eraser

Let's start drawing:

• Using a simple pencil we outline all the details of the landscape
• We highlight spruce paws on the trees
• Lines indicate the horizon and mountain heights
• The contours should be slightly noticeable. So that they do not show through when coloring

• Now let's move on to the most important stage - coloring
• Dilute blue watercolor with water to a soft blue hue
• Painting the sky with a brush
• Add pink and yellow shades to the sky to the raw drawing
• We get a smoothly transitioning sky background from one tone to another.
• Dry the sheet a little

• The mountains and snowdrifts, on the left side, are illuminated by sunlight. To do this, mix yellow paint with water and make a soft shade, as shown in the picture.

• We paint the hills and partially the foreground with blue paint
• We will tint the snow cover under the trees with blue. After all, the winter rays of the sun cannot reach there

• Pale ocher and soft pink tones will highlight the snowballs on the Christmas trees, which are illuminated by the sun from the left side
• On the right side of the branches we will make cool blue shades

• Add greenery to branches free of snow
• We make darkened places dark green, sunny ones a tone lighter
• Using a thin brush we draw the details of the Christmas trees. To do this, take a delicate green palette
• In the foreground we draw thin branches of the bush. We do this with the tip of a thin brush
• We darken the shady places under the tree with blue. In some places we add mixed green and black colors

• Draw the outlines of the branches in dark green

• Adding density to the bush

• We outline with a brush the muted, green mass of trees behind the large spruce trees
• Let's shade it
• Filling the clear sky with flying birds

Good afternoon

In this video master class, I tell you step by step how to paint a winter landscape in watercolors.

We will need watercolors, brushes, watercolor paper or A4 Whatman paper, a cloth or napkin, and water. Beginners can use a simple pencil and eraser to outline the design. If you want to dry your work faster, you can use a hair dryer.

The video shows step by step how to draw basic contours, mix colors on a palette, how to depict the sky at dawn (wet), a forest in the background, a reflection in the river, how to draw trees, bushes and snow in the foreground.

When painting with watercolors, the paint should always be mixed with water. The role of white paint is played by paper. The more water we add, the lighter the paint.

In bright places we add warm shades (yellow, ocher, orange), in the shadows we introduce cold colors (blue, violet, cyan).

The painting can be a wonderful gift for New Year or Christmas, which you can make yourself. Thanks to detailed explanations, parents can draw together with their children.

It is very useful to periodically step back and look at your work, analyze whether you want to change something, add some detail or some color.

In this lesson you will learn how to draw a beautiful winter landscape, winter with paints, namely watercolors, step by step. We will draw snow, trees in the snow, a house with a snow-covered roof in the distance, and a frozen lake in the foreground. Winter is attractive and fabulous in its own way, although it is very cold, but sometimes it is very fun, for example, throwing snowballs or making blinds.

You should get a very beautiful winter drawing. Here it is. Isn't it a wonderful drawing? You will definitely like this winter painting lesson. The work was done on A3 format watercolor paper.

I sketched the landscape with thin lines. I sprayed a little liquid to keep it white. I filled the sky with blue paint and added ocher “wet” at the bottom. When the paint had dried a little, I painted the distant forest with darker blue paint and a drop of red, carefully going around the house. While the paint was dry, I washed the brush, wrung it out and collected the paint from the place where there would be snow-covered trees and smoke from the chimney.

I painted the trees behind the house with a more saturated color.

I painted the house by mixing blue, red and a little brown paint. Where the snow lies, I left an unpainted sheet.

I painted a snowy tree in front of the house and filled in the lake using ocher, blue and red paint. You need to take very little red to get just a purple tint. On the left side of the sheet I marked the background trees.

I drew snow and tree trunks, and on the left I specified a group of background trees and the forest behind them.

Now let's move on to the right tree. We will draw from “light-to-dark”. First, using not very dark paint, we will designate the trunk and branches, as well as the place where the crown is located.

To work on the snow-covered branches, I took a thin brush No. 0 and No. 1.

Gradually I detailed more and more, avoiding the snowy branches.

Between the tree trunks I made a wet base using all shades of blue and ocher. At the same time, I began to draw tree trunks.

I slightly clarified the snowy branches between the trees and the bush under the tree with darker paint. When everything was dry, I couldn’t resist and quietly removed the dried liquid with a soft rubber band. I painted a snowdrift with a wide brush so that the colors flowed into each other.

I painted the shore and highlighted the bush under the tree with darker paint.

On the other side of the lake I painted snowdrifts and shadows from trees.

I painted snow in the foreground and sprayed it with dark paint from a brush. When all the work was dry, I removed the liquid to preserve the white.

Winter is a wonderful time of year, distinguished from its counterparts by fabulous weather and active games outside. Making a snowman, sledding and skating, and playing in the snow are just some of the things children love to do year after year. In addition, the end of the first winter month and the beginning of the second always symbolize two big holidays that are celebrated by almost all Russians. We are talking about the New Year 2019 and Christmas... these days all people take a break from work and study, enjoying communication with each other, mutual gifts, a holiday program on TV and fun walks. Wonderful, isn't it?! So why not depict your idea, January or February vision on a white sheet of paper. Watercolor drawings of winter always look bright and fascinating, and most importantly, they can be used as postcards, canvas paintings, and even homework for art lessons at school.
