Draw summer rain. Drawing an autumn landscape

Everyone perceives rain differently. It makes some people sad, others have fun jumping in puddles, and others even begin to write poetry, inspired by the gloomy atmosphere. Have you ever wanted to depict this natural phenomenon on paper? Let's look at how to draw rain with a simple pencil And

Preparing materials

First, let's lay out on the table in front of us everything that may be useful in the drawing process. Workplace should be well lit and free from unnecessary things.

So, what tools will you need:

• Sheets of paper.
• Simple pencils.
• Eraser.
• Colored crayons, pencils, markers or
• Tassels.
• Glass of water.
• Palette (small board for mixing paints).
• A picture of rain (if necessary).

Learning what rain looks like

Before you draw rain, you need to get to know it better. This will help make the drawing more realistic. Find different pictures with the image of a shower, drizzling precipitation and look at them carefully. If possible, catch a drop of rain with your hand or clothing. Take a good look at the trail of fallen water. Look what the drop looks like. Is it big or small, round or elongated, transparent or colored? Rain is especially beautiful in sunny weather, when it shimmers with all the colors of the rainbow.

When you draw a shower or drizzle, remember what drops you saw. This will make it easier to concentrate and complete the landscape.

What is characteristic of rain?

Be sure to take into account all the details that need to be drawn. It rains in cloudy or sunny weather, in a wooded area or in an urban area, whether it is strong or not. All this will affect the drawing. If you want to make it realistic, of course.

So, what features are important to consider when depicting rain:

• Overcast and dominance gray.

Usually, when it rains, the sky becomes cloudy so that the sun is no longer visible. In this case, the painting should be done in a restrained color with a predominance of gray. Darker paints should be applied to all painted horizontal surfaces, thus simulating moisture.

• Contrast.

Nearby objects must be clearly reflected in the picture. And background objects will be hidden by the rain, and therefore they will be practically invisible.

• How to draw rain depending on the terrain.

Puddles accumulate faster on asphalt or concrete surfaces. The soil absorbs moisture well. But this does not mean that there is no need to draw puddles in the forest and field at all.

• Reflections.

In puddles, even the smallest ones, nearby objects will always be visible. How to depict this on paper? Simply duplicate the mirrored objects with elongated vertical spots.

• Additional attributes.

Rain may be accompanied by lightning, the appearance of circles on the water and people running under umbrellas.

How to draw rain with a pencil in 10 steps

• Step one. First, think about what you want to draw. For example, a person walking in the rain.
• Step two. Mark the horizon line with a pencil.
• Step three. Sketch the silhouette of a man or woman. The head may not be visible because the person is covering himself with a newspaper or umbrella.
• Step four. Sketch an umbrella or newspaper.
• Step five. Mark the background objects (road, houses, clouds, trees, lanterns, and so on).

• Step six. Now draw in detail the person with an umbrella (or newspaper).
• Step seven. Use an eraser to erase unnecessary lines.
• Step eight. Draw background objects.
• Step nine. Add shading and shadows.
• Step ten. Draw the rain itself. It can be depicted with frequent hatching, long lines, dashes with curved tips, or ordinary drops. In all the pictures in the article, the rain is drawn differently, pay attention to this.

The pencil drawing is ready. If you wish, you can give it color. By painting only individual objects, you will convey a special atmosphere in the picture.

How to paint rain step by step with watercolors

Let's start painting with paints right away. Don't be afraid to work without a simple pencil! So let's get started.

• Step one. Use gray paint to paint a cloud. This will make it clear where the rain will come from.
• Step two. blue paint Dilute a little with water on the palette. You should get a liquid consistency, a little runny.
• Step three. Dip the brush into the resulting paint and draw the contours of small drops. Draw in rows in a vertical order, preferably moving from top to bottom.
• Step four. Draw medium sized drops.

• Step five. And then the biggest ones.
• Step six. Now fill the drops with blue paint, slightly diluted with water. This will give a transparent effect.
• Step seven. Let the drawing dry.
• Step eight. For large and medium drops, add white highlights with a light movement. The rain turned out to be real.

How to draw torrential rain? Decide on the slope of the drops. Draw them thin vertical lines one oblique at a time.

As you can see, rainy landscapes are not as difficult as they seem.

Drawing water drops that look like real ones is not difficult. To do this, you need to remember a few rules that are used professional artists. The image of the object is formed in human eye is formed due to different colors and amount of light. To obtain three-dimensional figure like a drop, you need to create an image on which an imitation of light and shadow will be made.

First, cover a piece of paper plain background and draw a circle on it with a simple pencil. The circle should not be too smooth for the drop to look natural. The pictures show the drop from above, from the side and in flight.

Take more dark color than the background of the picture and draw a shadow under the drop in the shape of a crescent. Add some dark paint to top part drops from the opposite side. Add a blue tint to the drop to make it look more like water. For this, use very pale paint, thickly diluted in water. Add the same blue tint to the shadow piece that touches the drop on top. Emphasize the outline of the drop using brown paint. At the end of the work, add a highlight inside the drop using white paint.

How are droplets formed?

Clouds are made up of microparticles of water and tiny ice crystals. One cloud can contain several tons of moisture, but the water inside it does not necessarily combine. Not even a single drop may fall from such a cloud. As the cloud moves and rises, the temperature changes. Warm air cools and water vapor condenses. The droplets gather around dust grains and other particles called condensation nuclei. Microparticles of moisture interact with each other and connect. When the connection becomes heavy and gains weight, it falls to the ground. Most do not reach the ground, but dissolve directly into the air. Large drops reach 6 millimeters in diameter and fall at a speed of about 7 meters per second. Small drops are called drizzle. They fall to the ground very slowly and in winter they can turn into snow as they move. This process was observed by modern scientists using cameras raised in the air at aircraft and carried out macro photography.

Everyone understands that an artist paints rain from memory. No one stands at an easel in a downpour to paint streaks of rain, and yet there are many paintings that depict downpours.

The artist has a special memory, he catches moments with his gaze, they are remembered, and then just close your eyes and imagine the rain, your imagination will draw the necessary pictures.

Draw clouds and rain in the background and foreground

So you close your eyes and think about how to draw rain, and then draw what your imagination tells you. For example, like this: in the sky dark cloud, which means it’s a gray felt-tip pen or watercolor paint, which will be of different intensities.

The transitions from gray to darker and less dark should be sharp in some places and smooth in others. Then it will seem that the cloud is alive, it changes every minute.

The smoothness of the transition is achieved by blurring. That is, you should dip your brush into a container of water and blur the watercolor or felt-tip pen. And in places where clouds thicken, the gray color should remain saturated.

But the clouds are not entirely gray, they have blue gaps, sparkling lightning, and whitish torn edges. Therefore, in addition to gray, you should also have these paints on hand.

And what is rain like? a natural phenomenon, for which there are few paints in your box. Now you will see this...

Already in the distance, stripes of rain outline the sky, in the background, and how to draw this distant rain? To achieve a realistic image of these stripes or streams, you will have to mix dark blue, gray, dark green colors.

And in the foreground, draw thin trees bending from the wind, tall grass bent by the wind. Complete the composition with a lonely house by the road. Everyone understands that the rain will now come here and pound on the roof, pouring down in a downpour on the trees and the meadow.

How to draw rain in the foreground? He is drawn differently. For example, using the painting technique of blurry spots. How to depict a cloud, you already know, in the background we have aerial perspective, that is, blue color of various shades.

In the foreground, in several places, we draw a brush with blue or blue paint and quickly, before it sets, we wash it with water, so that the blue color remains somewhere more saturated, somewhere weakly saturated, and somewhere white Whatman paper remains, or you need apply white paint and apply it with strokes among the blue and dark blue washes. In such a picture, both trees and houses should also be depicted blurred, but with clear silhouettes.

Rain in the city

Rain in the city can be depicted using oblique, as if drawn, intermittent streams that leave a mark on puddles in the form of dots and circles. How to draw rain using strokes?

This can be seen in the paintings because this technique is used quite often. The strokes are white, gray, light gray, pale blue on a blue, blue and gray background - this is for daytime rain.

And to depict night rain, a black and green background is often used. For evening time, the background can be lilac, with a crimson tint; the artists seem to emphasize the sunset with color.

For those who are interested in how it is possible, such recommendations are given. In the background there is a gray aerial perspective with the addition of dark blue, in the middle ground there are whitish spots, like reflections of lights from lanterns and from car headlights, the car itself with lit headlights, a house with glowing windows. There are frequent long strokes and stripes in the foreground white, through which the same gray and dark blue background breaks through.

All objects are depicted in muted colors and have some blurring of the image, with the help of this the effect of looking through a veil of rain is achieved.

Rain in the forest

Rain in the forest can also be depicted using strokes and falling drops not only in the air, but also on the leaves of trees, flowing drops on tall blades of grass. Rain in sunny weather is very beautiful, when every drop shimmers like a small rainbow. This effect is achieved by a dotted image of glare different color in a transparent drop.

How to draw rain in the light of the sun? This is difficult because such a picture requires high skill creator Not only color harmony is important here, but also the compositional component. The artist must show the joy of nature, its revival, and the picture must give inspiration to the audience. Bright is appropriate here emerald color foliage, blue sky, turquoise water.

Thus, rain can be painted with watercolors and felt-tip pens using:

• blurry spots;
• mixing paints;
• oblique, intermittent jets;
• short and long strokes;
• oblong, round, flowing drops.

These are only the most common ways of drawing rain, but each artist has his own original artistic practices, his own style. This is the talent of a true artist.

Now you know, . Draw it and give yourself and people many different emotions and shades of mood!

Drawing autumn landscape step by step

Master class on drawing. Landscape-mood “Late Autumn”

Purpose of work: master class on drawing is intended for children from 10 years old, fine arts teachers and educators additional education. The drawing can be used to participate in competitions, exhibitions, interior decoration or as a gift.

Target: execution of a landscape on the theme “Late Autumn”

Tasks:
develop the idea that through the selection of colors one can convey in a drawing certain weather and mood characteristic of rainy late autumn;
develop skills in wet toning of paper with watercolors;
cultivate interest in landscape painting and to the drawing process itself.

For work we will need: landscape sheet, watercolor, water glass, brushes of various thicknesses and hardness (squirrel or pony No. 4, No. 2; bristles No. 8), wax pencils.

Late fall. Many people consider this time boring, sad and sad. That's probably true. Usually during this period it rains endlessly, the sun hardly comes out, the birds don’t sing, the days look gray, and it starts to get dark earlier. The trees are already completely bare, the leaves have fallen off. The sky hangs low with gray clouds. But there are also very pleasant days in late autumn. Suddenly the rain stops and it gets a little warmer, and fog swirls above the ground. It's easy to breathe...

Today I propose to draw a landscape that conveys the mood of late autumn, which Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin told us about in his poems:
The days of late autumn are usually scolded,
But she’s sweet to me, dear reader,
Quiet beauty, shining humbly.
So unloved child in the family
I'm attracted to you...

For the drawing, take tinted cardboard in a gray-blue hue. Black wax pencil Let's draw the basis of our landscape.

Let's start with the tree. Let's draw the trunk and branches.

In this lesson I will show and tell you how to draw rain with a pencil step by step for beginners.

I chose a typical picture of rain, cold, probably autumn. By the way, if you are wondering what to draw on the theme of autumn, you can safely start drawing according to this lesson. So, what I wrote there, oh yes, it’s raining, it’s cold and the silhouettes of people who are trying to hide from the downpour, one has an umbrella in the foreground, the second doesn’t have one in the background and he’s hiding behind some kind of folder, nothing is visible because very heavy rain.

First we draw a sketch. First of all, the sidewalk, which is located in the middle of the picture.

Now with the skeleton we show the position of the men’s bodies, as well as their belongings.

We draw the silhouette of the man’s head, hat and coat in the foreground.

We draw straight lines close to each other, not very long and not very short straight lines at an angle at which it rains, so that they create uniformity. If you don’t understand how, then look, the principle is shown there, but we don’t need a gradient, let everything be monochromatic.

At the same angle as the rain, we paint over the silhouettes of men using the same principle, only the straight lines will be located more closely to each other so that the tone is darker. Take more hard pencil or barely press on the existing one, if there is only one, and start shading the bottom.

Now you can press the pencil a little harder or take a softer one and, in the direction of the rain, apply even more straight lines on the silhouettes, on the umbrella, on the sidewalk and road, draw shadows from people.

Take a eraser and make some areas light, look at the drawing.

We shade the white areas with curls, curls away from each other. This will add foam and from above we go through lines in the direction of the rain, because it is raining, it does not bypass these areas. Now, where we should have a city, a building, there is nothing there, because it is raining very heavily. Apply medium-tone shadows to several areas in the direction of the rain to add realism. If it’s not clear, look at the original (they use yellowish and purple colors), I just don’t know how to convey it more accurately in words. You can, of course, spend a long time perfecting the drawing, using an eraser, shading, etc. , but I'll stop there. You can achieve more realistic drawing rain.
