In the famous song, the tundra was sung as an endless snowy wasteland on which reindeer ride. However, the nature of the tundra is incredibly diverse, its views are simply stunning, and with the help of watercolors you can convey its unique beauty.

Instructions
Step 1
Consider the landscapes of the tundra - they can be incredibly varied. Mountain tundra in another way is called alpine meadows. The arctic tundra is very poor in vegetation - there are not even bushes, only mosses and lichens. In the middle (typical) tundra, mosses mainly grow, but dwarf birches and creeping willows also appear. Among the animals in the tundra are reindeer, foxes, wolves, and bighorn sheep. In addition, there are many bodies of water in the tundra.
Step 2
After studying the features of the tundra, come up with a landscape that you would like to depict. For example, it can be an autumn tundra - an incredibly colorful picture. First sketch out the horizon line - depict the mountainous area in the background. Mark the mountains with a few strokes. Now you can either draw the landscape with a simple pencil or work with paints right away. It is very convenient to depict the tundra in watercolor. Paint the sky with light blue watercolors, brushing more water. Leave the white areas - clouds.
Step 3
Draw a dark gray paint on a thin brush and mark the lines of the mountains with it. Paint the rest of the mountains with a pale gray. Then, with bright colored spots, begin to paint over the flowers and yellowed leaves of the shrubs. Paint the moss and grass with green. Use dark paint to mark the lines of the cobblestones.
Step 4
Another beautiful landscape of the tundra is a meadow with a reindeer grazing on it. Paint over the meadow with bright spots - here there are greenery, and blood-red flowers, and yellowed grass, and gray lichens. Divide the meadow into two parts - upper and lower. Wash the top slightly with water. When the background is dry, draw a deer - with powerful croup and large, thick, branchy antlers. The tail of a reindeer is white, as is the throat area. The body and legs are much more powerful than that of an ordinary forest deer. Reindeer can also be depicted on a white, snowy background, which is traditionally represented by the word "tundra".
