Winter landscapes are strikingly different from summer ones and have a unique charm and mystery. It is not so difficult to depict a winter landscape on paper, and besides, it is exciting and interesting, and stimulates imagination and creative thinking. In winter, nature is extremely changeable, and you can find new motives for your drawings every day. In this article, we'll show you some artistic techniques you can use to paint winter landscapes. They will attract both you and your children.
Instructions
Step 1
The primary colors of the winter landscape range between white and black. To paint trees, on a white background, brush short vertical black stripes, leaving more drops of paint on the paper.
Step 2
Take a straw and start blowing drops in different directions - you get chaotic and beautiful interweaving of thin branches.
Step 3
Draw the falling white snowflakes around the trees by dipping a cotton swab into the white paint. Make larger white spots with your fingerprints, imitating snow-covered tree crowns.
Step 4
You can also paint jagged white stripes directly on the branches to represent snow-covered branches.
Step 5
Another way to paint a magical winter landscape is to paint over a sheet of paper with blue, blue and lilac watercolor transitions. Sprinkle grains of salt on the wet paint in random order to create an interesting effect that simulates a blizzard.
Step 6
With white paint over the painted background, apply snowflakes and a silhouette of the wind. You can also paint the snowman with white wax crayon, and then cover the surrounding background with the desired color.
Step 7
You can depict a frosty tree in an even more interesting way - apply tree silhouettes with PVA glue on a sheet of blue paper, and sprinkle them with ordinary table salt on top. Shake off excess salt after drying and paint snowflakes and other design elements around the tree.
Step 8
A tree can be depicted by gluing narrow strips of masking tape to paper, cutting it into narrow strips.
Step 9
Paint over the background color and peel off the tape. You can paint realistic snow by dipping an old toothbrush into white paint and sprinkling the paint over the sheet.
