Probably, every person in the soul at least a little, but an artist. There is a sense of beauty in everyone; it’s another matter that in some it manifests itself, in others it is sensitively asleep, and for others it is sleeping soundly. And, of course, everyone at least once in his life, but gave this feeling free rein. Drawn - at least in childhood - all. Someone on canvas, someone on plain paper, someone with a stick in the sand, but that’s not the point. Most importantly, at least one in a hundred has turned the game into the meaning of life and become an artist.
People who paint pictures can work in different directions. Some paint portraits, others abstract figures. But the original foundation of art is landscape. After all, it is he who demonstrates the skill of man.
Writing a beautiful landscape is not as easy as it might seem. Indeed, for this it is necessary not only to see the beauty of nature, but also to be able to single out the main and secondary, to be able to feel the harmony of forms and colors, to set a uniform style for the whole picture. And if there are no such abilities, then it is impossible to learn how to draw.
But suppose that the aspiring artist already has the most necessary qualities. How can he draw a beautiful landscape?
First of all, of course, he must choose a specific section of nature, which he will write. Of course, it’s best to work with a real, vibrant landscape, not with photography.
After this, it is necessary to decide what exactly will go into the picture, since it is impossible to sketch everything visible. To do this, you can use the following technique: squint so that everything seems to blur, lose clarity of outlines; determine which objects remained the most prominent. And put them on a sketch. It is they who will set the
color scheme for the entire work.
Having drawn the foreground of the picture, you can go to the image of the details. It should be borne in mind that if the object being drawn is far away, it is better to go up to it and study - the only way you can write a truly beautiful landscape.
Of course, minor details should be executed in the general color scale.
Every landscape painter needs to know that drawing trees is very difficult. It is necessary to study them for a long time: in winter or late autumn, in order to understand the "design" of the trunk and branches, the nuances of the bark, and in summer or spring - since all the charm and unusualness of the crown can be seen only then.
By the way: the
most beautiful landscapes of the world were painted by artists who can depict trees in the smallest detail.
The choice of a writing tool is also very important. Of course, it all depends not only on the preferences of the artist, but also on what he knows best. You can paint very beautiful landscapes in oil, but such a paint requires skillful handling and patience. But her paintings retain freshness and proximity to the original.
However, with a pencil you can write a beautiful landscape. The main thing is to be able to work with it and have a large number of different colors. True, the same can be said of any paint, whether it be oil, gouache or watercolor.
Try, study, improve - and everything will work out! And the greatest artists of the world were once newcomers who first picked up a brush and palette!
