Autumn is an amazingly beautiful time. She is praised in all forms of art, and for good reason! Autumn landscapes are full of very special charms, bright, blazing colors and quiet, thoughtful at the same time. It was not for nothing that Tyutchev compared her with a meek smile of wilting, and Pushkin called her charming eyes. We will turn to this “dull season” and discuss how to depict it on the album sheet.
Landscape with a tree - how to draw?
Drawing autumn is both easy and simple. It is enough to use a small number of colors from the entire rich palette - and the picture is ready. But here is to convey the mood, a special condition peculiar only to autumn nature - this is the main difficulty. The festival of gold and scarlet, pierced by sunlight, and the feeling of fragility, fleetingness of this miracle of nature - this is exactly what people who try to paint autumn perceive this time of year. Let's try to explain how to do this.
- Take a landscape sheet and outline the sky with light blue watercolor. In some places you can make it bright blue, just try to make the transitions of tones smooth. One of the useful tips on how to draw autumn is when, when you “cope” with the sky, dip your kitty in water and moisten the stained places, in some places they are specially highlighted. Let the paper dry. And then we paint autumn with oil - these paints are more suitable for transferring bright, juicy, saturated colors.
- Now the tree is working on it. Having retreated somewhat to the left or to the right, draw an enlarged silhouette of the English letter Y. Make the trunk thicken downwards, trying to realistically reproduce its shape. Then, draw branches. Add to them knots, layering, diverging in different directions. Try to give the crown dynamism, as if it is swayed by the wind. After all, you can’t draw autumn in statics, this is a very moving season.
- Further crown. Here you can give complete freedom to your imagination. Use lemon, saffron , ocher, brownish or crimson hues. Remember the famous Buninsky “the forest is precisely painted by the tower ...” - the lines familiar from childhood will certainly tell you original ideas and spectacular combinations.
- Well, the last stage of how to draw a picture of "Autumn". So that your tree does not hang in the air, you should "plant" it. Think about whether you depict grass or bare ground. For grass, make greens with yellowness, in some places draw brown bumps. After all, she faded, lost her summer juiciness. Just mix the paints carefully so that you do not get a variegation in the spirit of expressionists. For example, a combination of green and yellow gives blue and turquoise hues. However, you can also depict naked land. But in any case, do not forget about the fallen foliage - it must necessarily lie under the tree and at some distance from it, as if carried away by the wind. So your autumn landscape will gain the veracity of details and realistic images.
- Hone the details. The work is basically completed, some details remain. First, think about what time of day you captured. The lighting in the picture depends on this. Give a hint of the sun, gilding, highlighting some of the sky, air. Show a hint of the reflections of the rays in the crown of the tree, reproduce the glare on the grass. Work with more saturated tones on the earth the shadows from the trunk and branches. For fidelity and dynamism, to give the landscape life, draw a few colored commas in the air - conditionally these will be leaves.
Examine your creation with a critical eye, correct annoying flaws. Let the drawing dry. And feel like a real artist!
