Progress:

Soon, soon will come to us
Holy holiday New Year!
We will dream with you
And gifts to choose!
To make the holiday brighter
I didn't forget about the tree!
Here are toys with tinsel
We hung with you!
Let kind grandfather Freezing
Our magician red nose!
All the guys in order
Handing out chocolate!
That's probably exactly what every boy and every girl dreams of on New Year's Eve. We want the holiday to come to us as soon as possible! And what is needed for this? We need a tree! And the trees grow in the forest!

Reminds me of my childhood! In the early bright morning, my grandfather and I always went to the forest for a Christmas tree. We tried to choose the most beautiful!

And they dressed her up at home. Everyone tried to choose the most beautiful and favorite toy and tried to hang it on the most visible
place! Here we have such a beauty.

I would like to say in the words of Elena Ilyina:
"Look
In the door crack -
You'll see
Our tree.
Our tree
High
Gets
Up to the ceiling.
And on her
Hanging toys -
From stand
To the top…”
But now in our modern developing world, you don’t need to go to the forest, you just have to stand on a chair and get a magic box from the closet in which an artificial Christmas tree is stored.

And now the toys...

Now we decorate the Christmas tree.

And no hike in the woods, no magic. But you can make the world brighter without destroying a single Christmas tree! How, you ask? Just! You need to plant a Christmas tree under your window! And dress her up every year!

And I suggest you draw a forest beauty. Make it easy and simple! I propose to use a simple drawing method for work - the “poke” method.
Basic rules for drawing using the poke method:
1. Draw with a hard semi-dry brush. This means that we do not dip the brush into the water before setting the gouache on the brush.
2. After washing off the paint from the brush, it is necessary to blot the brush on a cloth. This is necessary to keep the brush semi-dry.
3. To draw a picture, we do not apply it with traditional strokes, but we poke it into a sheet of paper, holding the brush vertically. Hence the name - the "poke" method.
4. After setting the paint on the brush, the first “poke” should be done on a spare sheet of paper, as this will allow the drawing to be more evenly colored. The first “poke” always leaves a brighter trace, which is not always necessary in work.
5. When drawing a large object, such as the body of an animal, it is important to first go along the contour, and then proceed to fill in the middle.
Once you understand the basic rules, you can get started.
We draw a Christmas tree:
1. Let's start with the image of the trunk of the Christmas tree. To do this, we need a brush number 3 protein.
First, draw the trunk itself. We make the crown thinner, and to the bottom of the trunk we make a thickening, applying strokes close to each other. I start each stroke from the crown and smoothly lead to the very bottom, spreading to the sides. Now we draw branches - small semi-arcs, starting from the trunk and spreading to the sides.

2. Now we draw needles. We make it unusual and interesting way- by the "poke" method. Let's not forget the rules.
We start work from the base of the branch.

And so we continue to the very end. And so on each side of the branch, making it fluffier with each “poke”.

3. We do the same with each branch. First, on one side of the tree,

Then the second side, trying to make parallel branches the same.

4. Now add darker gouache bright colors at the bottom of each branch.

5. Each Christmas tree in winter forest falls under a snowfall, and snowflakes and even a lot of fluffy snow remain on its paws. That's it for this we need white gouache and a hard semi-dry brush. Again, using the “poke” method, draw fluffy snow on top of each branch.

The Christmas tree is ready. Let's make a frame. To do this, we use blue gouache and draw a frame using the “poke” method. By placing the "pokes" tightly to each other right near the edge of the sheet. Try not to rush to make the frame dense and bright. Now our Christmas tree is ready.

It will become a worthy decoration of our house on the eve of the most beloved holiday by all children.

Whatever place we find her, she will definitely please us!

Even a child can draw such a Christmas tree. This is how I saw and drew a Christmas tree Vanya, 5 years old.

You can decorate our Christmas tree by hanging painted tinsel and balls on it.

Or draw a whole forest.

Show your imagination. Don't be afraid to experiment!
Christmas tree

In anticipation new year holidays the question of how to draw a Christmas tree becomes especially relevant. After all, it is she, the green beauty, the center of the holiday. Round dances are led around her, they decorate her, gifts are hidden under the lower spreading paws. And what can be a winter landscape without its thick and fluffy branches under the snow. We offer several interesting lessons how beautiful and unusual to depict a popular winter tree.

Step by step example

First of all, we will analyze how to draw a Christmas tree in stages. To do this, let's try to draw a festive tree, with decorations and garlands.

Stage 1
Let's prepare the basis for the future drawing. To do this, draw an equilateral triangle with a base slightly smaller than the sides. In the center of the base, we denote the trunk or the installation site of our spruce.

Stage 2
Let's give the appropriate shape to the contour, as shown in the figure.

Stage 3
Let's outline the decorations with light lines: a garland, balls and a star.

Stage 4
Auxiliary lines depict gifts lying under the lower branches. The sketch is ready.

Stage 5
We draw with a pencil (or a felt-tip pen, or a pen) more saturated lines: first a contour, then jewelry and gifts. For a more voluminous drawing, let's add details: threads of balls, additional strokes of twigs and ribbons on gift boxes.

Stage 6
Delete auxiliary lines.

Stage 7
The finished drawing can be colored or left in black and white. In the second case, it makes sense to add shadows under the balls, on gifts, to depict the glow of a garland and a star.

Pencil

The method below on how to draw a Christmas tree with a pencil is quite simple. For its execution, you only need a good pencil of medium softness and a little patience to draw needles: in this case, the spruce will turn out to be the most realistic.

First of all, let's draw a trunk and a piece of land where the tree grows from.

Then we will begin to fill it with branches with needles, starting from the top.

You should not try to make it very even, because in nature trees do not have perfect symmetry. Let some branches be a little shorter, some longer. It is more important to carefully and tightly fill them with needles.

Draw branches with needles to the very base.

Now you need to add volume to the drawing by adding shadows on the trunk, below the branches and near the grass on the ground. The drawing is ready.

Beautiful tree

The proposed method of how to beautifully draw a Christmas tree under the snow is very unusual, but at the same time simple.

We depict the triangular contour of the Christmas tree.

This contour, starting from the top, is filled with unusual shapes, as shown in the figure. This is the snow lying on the branches. Fill it not symmetrically, but as evenly as possible.

After that, for the atmosphere, you can add snow on the ground and snowflakes.

Now you need to draw the branches themselves. To do this, under the white specks of snow, we tightly shade small areas, as shown in the figure.

The remaining unfilled areas are worked out with lighter shading to indicate soft shadows.

The result is very good and unusual.

A simple example of a Christmas tree

This way how easy it is to draw a Christmas tree is suitable even for young and not very experienced artists. The resulting tree can be both painted and decorated. Christmas decorations, and "powder" snow in the winter forest.

Let's figure out how to draw a Christmas tree beautifully in stages.

Step 1
We draw the visible part of the trunk with the root system.

Stage 2
We begin to fill the tree with branches with needles from below. The smaller and more detailed the depicted needles, the more fluffy the spruce will turn out.

Stage 3
Gradually narrow the outline of the tree to the crown. The Christmas tree is ready.

Christmas tree

This is another easy option on how to draw a Christmas tree.

First of all, we draw an auxiliary contour - a triangle on a leg.

Along this contour, with rounded lines, we mark the Christmas tree branches, as shown in the figure.

We connect them into a common figure and add a visible trunk.

We remove the auxiliary lines and decorate with a star on top, Christmas balls, a garland and candies.

The Christmas tree is ready!

An example of a Christmas tree in pencil

The sequence below of how to beautifully draw a Christmas tree with a pencil will be useful for both the New Year's version and an ordinary Christmas tree. A complex and beautiful result is achieved not so much by special skills as by accuracy and patience. Be sure to try to portray such a tree!

You should start with the auxiliary lines of the contour of the tree itself, the trunk and the stand.

According to the triangle of spruce, we note the position of the branches, first the main ones, then filling the small ones.

The sketch is ready. Now we refine the drawing with a darker pencil or felt-tip pen. Let's start with the decorations. On Christmas balls with light spots we imitate a glossy sheen.

It's time to get down to the branches. Along the auxiliary lines, we begin to apply needles. First along the contour, then - inside.

Let's select the trunk and branches that look through the needles and decorations and draw a stand.

Fill the entire tree with needles to make it look fluffy.

The finished Christmas tree can be supplemented with bright flowers.

Useful video lesson

Be sure to check out this video tutorial. It shows 10 various ways Christmas tree drawing.

The New Year 2018 is coming soon, which means that each of us will receive gifts, albeit small, but made with love. Of course, surprises from parents will be much more "weighty" in every sense than funny children's drawings, but the latter will be able to warm you with the warmth of their sincerity and childish efforts. Well, what can boys and girls portray in winter? Of course, everything related to the New Year holidays - Santa Claus, ate, Snow Maiden, a snowman, a forest covered with snow. If your children are still small and do not know how to draw a Christmas tree easily and beautifully, watch with them the video and photo of the workshops presented here. They show how even a beginner, using pencils and paints, can gradually depict a Christmas tree decorated with garlands and toys. A carefully executed, neat, bright drawing will receive a prize on creative competition crafts in primary school or kindergarten.

If you want to learn more about how to draw a Christmas tree with a pencil step by step easily and beautifully, use the tips of the master classes for beginners presented here. Similar work can be done with felt-tip pens, but a simple pencil should always be used to create a sketch of a drawing.

Ways to draw a Christmas tree with a pencil: examples in the photo

A Christmas tree is one of the simplest drawings, but you can create it in many ways. A selection of these photos will help you understand how to draw a Christmas tree with a pencil step by step easily and beautifully, and you will find a master class for beginners on the video.

The first way is a Christmas tree made of cones

Take a close look at the diagram step by step drawing ate. Start depicting her by drawing a cone-skirt. At the end of the work, when all auxiliary lines are erased, the Christmas tree can be decorated with garlands and toys.

The second way - Christmas tree-stick

Here is my own artistic creativity you need to start with the image of a single vertical stick. The branches of the tree and its foliage - needles - are already "attached" to it.

Method three - a Christmas tree on a stand

In this case, the basis of the pattern is a triangle on a "stand" - a horizontally located rectangle. Small wavy triangles are attached to the large triangle on the sides - spruce paws.

The brightest, most realistic-looking Christmas trees are obtained from artists who use paint in their work. Undoubtedly, novice creators first use a pencil - such sketches are easy to correct by erasing them with an eraser. And yet, a drawing made in watercolor or gouache always attracts more attention. These photo and video tutorials for beginners will tell you how to draw a Christmas tree step by step with paints.

Even the most inexperienced artists can learn how to depict with one stroke Christmas tree without using pencils. Learn how to draw a Christmas tree step by step with paints: photo and video tutorials for beginners will tell you how to work with a brush.

Herringbone zigzag paint

Here the artist, using brushes of different widths, drew a zigzag line, gradually expanding downwards. After that, with paints of a different color, he “hung” balls on the Christmas tree.

Herringbone-panicle painted

First, the artist drew a straight line from top to bottom - this is how he depicted a tree trunk. To the left and right of him, he applied strokes of paint different shades green, yellow, and then, and white flowers. The strokes were applied in layers different color- from the bottom to the top in such a way that the herringbone at the bottom is wide, and at the top - pointed.

After that, the master painted snow on the Christmas tree with white paints.

How to draw a Christmas tree with toys and garlands for elementary school and kindergarten

Before the onset of 2018, many children will want to learn how to draw a Christmas tree with toys and garlands for school and kindergarten. Of course, most of them already know how to draw Christmas trees in the form of a stick and branches, but this master class will teach them a slightly more complex drawing technique.

We draw a Christmas tree 2018 with decorations in stages

The drawing diagram located here will help you figure out how to draw a Christmas tree, decorate it with toys and garlands, and submit your work for a drawing competition in elementary school and kindergarten.

1. Start working with the image at the bottom of the sheet of a small square and a triangle, "planted" on its upper face.
2. Add “paws” to the Christmas tree by drawing small zigzags on the sides of the large triangle and processing the “skirt” of the tree.
3. Start decorating the Christmas tree by placing a garland diagonally across it and hanging the balls on the branches.

Good afternoon, we continue the series of articles on the topic "How to draw a New Year - 48 ideas and 10 lessons". And today I add FIR-trees to the general piggy bank of New Year's drawings. We will draw Christmas trees in DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES. I will show you how to create simple drawings Christmas trees, and how to create with your own hands real Christmas tree with a drawing of coniferous needles and glitter reflected in glass New Year's balls.

So, let's see what ways to draw Christmas trees I have collected for you in this article.

METHOD #1 - ZIGZAG

The easiest way to draw a Christmas tree is a zigzag that expands downwards. It can be drawn as a thick brush (left photo) or a thin brush (right photo below).

How to draw a Christmas tree

METHOD No. 2 - METELochka.

This method is also quite simple for drawing by children's hands. You just need to draw on a piece of paper straight line(or slightly slanted if the tree will lean).

This line will serve the central axis of the Christmas tree- her spine. And then with paints - to the left and right of this axis - we will draw our bunches-panicles. You need to draw from the bottom rows of the Christmas tree - to the top. This is important so that our upper tiers lie on top of the lower legs of the Christmas tree.

That is first draw the bottom tier of the Christmas tree(a number of sweeping strokes-branches from below), then the second tier above the lower one (we put strokes overlap to the edge of the bottom row), and then alternately tier by tier we go to the top.

Then on this Christmas tree you can draw snow.

Here are the pictures below also a Christmas tree drawn in the technique of a METELochka. Note that, after we draw New Year's balls on the Christmas tree, you need to take green paint on the brush again and apply a few coniferous strokes OVER THE BALLS so that the balls seem to peek out from under the paws.

In the same technique, you can draw Christmas trees in winter landscapes. The background for such a New Year's landscape can serve as circular snowstorm from shades of blue gouache. And the spruce branches themselves are also drawn with SEVERAL shades of blue, turquoise and white.

It also looks beautiful when this technique is used in drawing. WATERCOLOR ON WET PAPER. We get fuzzy blurry Christmas tree silhouettes. And already Christmas balls on such a tree can be drawn clearly with perfectly smooth edges.

Such a New Year tree-panicle can be decorated with dots of beads, bows, New Year's sweets, round spots of balls.

To make the ball perfectly round (as in the picture above), it is better to draw it not just with a brush, but with a stencil. You just need to cut out a round stencil-hole from cardboard - several holes are better for different sizes of balls.

To do this, circle several glasses of different diameters on a sheet of cardboard, pierce each circle with scissors and cut out the inside along the circle line - and we will get round holes patterns. We put them on the Christmas tree - the desired hole-circle in the right place on the Christmas tree. And carefully paint over the hole with a thick and juicy color. You can do it not with a brush, and with a sponge- that is, a piece foam sponge for dish washing. With the help of a sponge, the paint will lie evenly - as the bristles of the brush can crawl under the stencil and spoil the ideality of the circle.

Now, look at the pictures below. Here we see that our MAZKOV technique is being performed in the other direction. Here, the strokes are not placed in the downward direction from the axis-trunk of the tree, but on the contrary, the lines of the needles are laid semicircular vector up. And we're already getting new silhouette Christmas trees. That is a different kind of Christmas tree.

CONCLUSION: In this technique, the main thing AXIS-BARREL(from it we lead our strokes of branches). And more importantly MULTIPLE PAINT COLORS- strokes should be made from paints of different shades of green (or different shades of blue). Then our Christmas tree will look voluminous, textured and close to its real natural beauty.

How to draw a Christmas tree

METHOD #3

silhouette two-tone

This method is also very simple. Little kids love him. First draw a normal christmas tree silhouette- shaggy (left picture below) or geometric with sharp triangular corners (right picture below), as you please.

We paint over silhouette in green color. We dry. And over the dried background we draw Christmas decorations. Or we immediately place Christmas tree decorations, and then separately paint over the gaps between them with green.

The silhouette of Christmas trees can be the MOST SIMPLE - an ordinary rectangle. Stars, balls, and the stem of any triangle makes it look like a Christmas tree.

And here in the photo below are some more examples of SILHOUETTE Christmas trees, but already with DOUBLE PAINTING. Here the silhouette is divided into ZONES - each zone is painted over in its own shade of green.

The zones are drawn with a pencil on a dry green background - and then painted over with a new shade of green. We dry. We draw decorations, ribbon beads, a star - and christmas tree ready.

How to draw a Christmas tree

METHOD No. 4 - LEVEL.

Tiered Christmas trees we all knew how to draw in kindergarten. When tiers were erected from triangles of different sizes. Here in the pictures below I present to your attention variations of this technique Christmas tree images.

Tiers may have rounded corners and smooth lines floors (as in the left picture below). Or tiers can have sharp corners and broken lines floors (as in the right picture below).

Tiers can have CLEAR SYMMETRY (as in the left picture below).

Or each tier can be UNSYMMETRIC - not the same on the left and right (as in the right picture below).

Each tier can be painted in your shade of green. From dark to light, or alternating dark and light in turn (like in the picture of Christmas trees below).

Along the edges of the tiers of the Christmas tree, you can lay out the lines of SNOW, or the lines of the CHRISTMAS GARLAND.

A tiered Christmas tree can have an interesting stylization - like these Christmas trees in the pictures below - the edges of their paws twisted in curls varying degrees coolness.

We draw a Christmas tree

METHOD #5

drawing shadow areas.

But the Christmas trees, which no clear tiers- but hints of tiering are given drawing a shadow under the spruce paws. That is, due to the fact that on the silhouette of the Christmas tree we select BROKEN JUST LINES and paint over them with a darker shade of green - due to this we get silhouettes of shadow zones on the Christmas tree - and the Christmas tree becomes textured, with clearly defined coniferous legs (as is done on drawings of Christmas trees below).

Above the shadow zones, you can whiten the snow in some places (as in the New Year's picture below).

But below is a drawing of a Christmas tree, where shadow zones presented as ROUND LINES.

That is, we draw with a pencil on the green silhouette of the Christmas tree rounded lines and loops. That is, coniferous paws are depicted in the form of such flat cakes-ears.

And then we draw along these lines dark green tassel. We dry. And in some places we put light spots of light green-green on the green paws - this gives the fir-tree paws a visual bulge.

How to draw a Christmas tree

METHOD №6 MOSAIC.

This method is well depicted on gift wrappings, on postcards and as interesting work for a New Year's drawing competition at school.

We start with the fact that on a sheet of paper with a pencil draw a triangle. And then paint fill out this triangle is the most different figures(Christmas toys, flowers, birds, snowflakes and other patterns, etc.).

We draw a stylized Christmas tree.

METHOD №6

horizontal lines.

But the way to draw a Christmas tree is perhaps the easiest - we draw the outlines of a triangle on a sheet of paper with a pencil. And then inside this drawn triangle we lay horizontal lines of different colors. According to your taste, the lines can be - straight, wavy or broken lines as in the picture below. They can be placed horizontally, vertically or diagonally.

An easy way to draw a Christmas tree.

METHOD №7 CURL.

Here we draw a triangle on a piece of paper. And then in any place of the triangle we put a large drop of light green paint - next to it is a drop of dark green paint. And just with your finger, mix these two drops into a round rosette curl. As a result, the paint of two shades is mixed and we get a two-color roll. Repeat the same procedure elsewhere on the tree. And again and again until we fill the entire field of the outlined triangle.

How to draw a Christmas tree.

METHOD №8

CONIER LEGS.

And here is a way to draw a Christmas tree using the drawing of coniferous legs.

Here, let's look at the example below how exactly such an image of a Christmas tree is created on a sheet of paper.

To get such a Christmas tree, we first need to draw a triangle with a pencil. Then paint over it with a green background color of a dark shade. And then draw lines-bones of future coniferous legs over the background. And then grow green needles on these twigs.

We draw Christmas trees shining with lights.

METHOD №9

A RAY OF LIGHT.

But now I want to show how extraordinarily beautiful the Christmas tree we have drawn looks, if you think over the BACKGROUND in advance. The background you started drawing the Christmas tree on can make your drawing shine.

That is, if you make the background not a solid one color, but make a wide background strip in the center of the sheet a tone lighter than the rest of the background zone of the sheet. Thus, we get, as it were, a pillar of light within which our Christmas tree will shine.

And in this light beam (when the paint dries) we will draw our Christmas tree, in any chosen way. And in the end we will get a Christmas tree shining with unearthly beauties. Here in the figure above you can see how effectively such a background looks. The tree is as if illuminated by heavenly light.

And the drawing of the Christmas tree itself is a heap of spots of different colors (essentially stuck with a finger). But the illusion of an unearthly radiance of the picture is created - due to the fact that 1.) the background of the sheet in the center has a whitish light shade 2.) all over the tree, except for colored spots, White spots.

Let's now consider detailed master class according to the drawing of a coniferous Christmas tree, for which we will just apply SUCH BACKGROUND RECEPTION - as a “pillar of light”.

How to draw a bright Christmas tree

METHOD №10

DENSE NEEDLE.

And in this figure below, we also see the same background sheet preparation technique. The sheet was painted over in a bluish tint in the center and yellowish at the edges (it is better to paint the background not with a brush, but with a sponge, a sponge for washing dishes).

In the same example, we learn how to draw light glossy highlights on Christmas balls.

Please note that this Christmas tree (in the picture above) is drawn in a technique similar to the Broom. Only here not alone the central axis, from which our brush strokes dance (as in method No. 2), is not - here the axes for panicles-needles are multiple axis lines scattered randomly in different directions.

Let me draw you step by step MASTER CLASS , With detailed diagram stages of drawing such a Christmas tree.

(I’m too lazy to get paints and a brush, so I’ll draw with a computer mouse. This will slightly distort the similarity with the original, but still convey the essence of the technique itself. So…

STEP 1- we make a general background, glowing in the center with a bluish spot.

STEP 2- in the luminous background we set the dark background basis of the future Christmas tree.

STEP 3- On top of our base and around it we draw axis lines of future spruce legs. We draw randomly and, most importantly, not very thick (so that there is more air between them). And most importantly, that they look down and a little splayed.

STEP 4- We take light green paint on the brush. And we begin to cover the LOWER TIER of the Christmas tree with long panicles-needles. It is important to start drawing the legs of the Christmas tree from the bottom up - mentally divide the Christmas tree into 4 tiers-floors and start from the bottom, gradually moving up. Then the Christmas tree will look natural (where the upper paws cover the lower ones, as in nature). In this master class, for the sake of saving my time, I will show only one lower tier.

STEP 5- We take just a green color on a brush - and between the light needles we make rich green needles. It’s also chaotic - here and there we make brush strokes.

STEP 6- take light brown gouache on brushes. And also with this color we make needles of brown coniferous color here and there. Finished with the LOWER TIER.

STEP 7- We pass to the second tier - and we do the same - we draw needles alternating brushes with light gouache, saturated gouache and brown gouache.

STEP 8- take on a brush dark green color (the darkest shade) and here and there we add dark strokes with a brush - drawing the needles that are in the shadow under the paws. Draw anywhere. Without hesitation.

AND FURTHER we continue with the third tier and with the fourth tier at the top of the tree. Until the whole tree is covered with coniferous branches. I will no longer draw here to the very top - a computer mouse is not the most convenient tool for drawing.

Now let's figure out how we will draw decorations for this Christmas tree.

STEP 9- under a round stencil (a hole in cardboard) we draw circles of the SAME COLOR anywhere on the tree - but preferably under the paws - that is, we place each ball between the branches. It is important - to make the balls look natural(we will then cover them a little in the last step with needles from the legs hanging from above the ball).

STEP 10- on the brush we will transfer the color of the same shade as the ball itself - only a few tones darker. And on the ball we draw curls of this dark color.

STEP 11- on the brush we take another NEIGHBOR WITH DARK shade of color. And next to the first dark curl on the ball, we put another one, also dark, but of a different shade.

STEP 12- take a light (but not white) shade of color on the brush. And in the center of the ball we put a spot light color- a spot of a round shape, or in the form of a thick curl.

STEP 13- take on a brush White color. And In the center of the ball we put a white plump dot. And in the lower side of the ball we make a white semicircular stroke. Thus, our balls sparkled like real glass ones.

STEP 14- Now we take a stick with a round tip, with which we will draw POINTS OF BEADS. A simple pencil with a round wash on the end will do. Pour thick white gouache into the saucer - poke the end of the pencil into the saucer and draw a chain of beads between the balls. White beads and red.

STEP 15- And now we need to push the needles of the Christmas tree a little over the balls. To do this, we again take a green color on the brush - and put a few sharp needle strokes on the top of the balls. We alternate shades of green - a couple of light strokes, a couple of dark ones. So our balls will be slightly covered with needles and will look naturally hanging under the paws of the Christmas tree.

By the same principle you can draw any of the Christmas trees below.

This Christmas tree, for example, is drawn entirely and completely first with a DARK GREEN BRUSH, and then after drying on the brush, we take a LIGHT SHADE OF GREEN and draw already light paws on top of the dark needles.

But pay attention: we draw light branches without repeating the contours of the dark - that is, the dark branches stick out not in the same sides that are light.

And here (the picture of the Christmas tree below) is just different. Here, the light branches of the needles are drawn exactly OVER the same dark branches. Only lines of light needles are applied a little disorganized with the dark ones.

Very few toys can be placed on such a thick Christmas tree. The main thing is to make sure that after drawing the balls you have not forgotten take it on a green brush again - and again draw the needles of coniferous legs, which with their edges RUN over Christmas tree decorations. To Christmas balls as if drowned partially in dense needles and looked out of it with their glossy smooth sides.

It also looks good on this tree. a garland of bright multi-beam stars.

To make the stars burn with LIGHT FROM INSIDE (picture below), we use tricky way. We use flat brush(where the bristles are arranged in a row, and not in a round beam), and on the palette we drip a light yellow drop of paint and a dark yellow one next to it. We apply a brush to this paint so that one edge of the bristle row of the brush takes light paint, and the other dark.

And now this two-color brush draw rays of stars. Rays are just brush prints - we print the brush in a circle, placing its light-colorful edge in the center of the circle, and the dark-colorful edge of the brush in the outer side of the star circle. (Look at the stars in the picture of the Christmas tree below - they have yellow rays towards the center, and darker along the edges). After the rays have dried in the middle of such an asterisk, we put a round spot of white paint.

And a white artificial Christmas tree you can draw thick spruce branches using the same technique. To do this, on a bluish background with a gray brush, draw the same paws of the Christmas tree (hairy twigs). And then on top of their gray outlines we draw already white shaggy twigs. And we get a picture where the white needles stand out against the background of a gray coniferous shadow (as is done in the picture of the Christmas tree below).

How to draw a winter tree

METHOD 11

snow-covered trees.

And here is another pretty snow-covered evening tree, consecrated by a lantern. I tried to draw this Christmas tree with a computer mouse in stages. Of course, this is not as convenient and revealing as brush strokes, but still this master class conveys general principle drawing in this style. Here it is shown how the mosaic alignment of the tiers of the legs of the Christmas tree is conveyed with simple blurry strokes.

In a similar technique, many snow images drawn Christmas trees.

Let's take a closer look at how at home to a simple unprepared person (without art education and everyday experience of waving a brush on paper) to create a masterpiece in one evening with the help of an unfamiliar hand of a brush and a jar of paint.

Here is one of the tricky ways to draw a Christmas tree with your own hands in a short time. First, draw the outlines of a triangle on paper.

On the triangle, be sure to draw the center line of the axis (this is necessary in order to know in which direction - left or right - to turn the tip of the brush).

We take black paint on the brush. An important condition is that the shape of the brush should be flat (not a round tuft) and the bristles should be preferably hard. The second important condition is that the paint should not be too wet. That is, we breed a thick, dryish black mixture - we dip the same dry brush into it. And we print it to the drawing - this is how we get the prints of the villi of a natural contour that is not blurry with excess dampness (similar to the contour of real needle needles).

And then you can take and apply on the tip of the same black brush dryish white gouache(also smear thick gouache on a saucer, dip the edge of the bristles of a flat brush and lay its prints along the tiers of the Christmas tree - in even rows.

And here is another quick way to draw a Christmas tree. It's even easier here. This method is similar to the first one. zigzag method in our article. Only with the addition of white snow.

And here's the way where the Christmas tree drawn with a wet brush, she was dipped in dark green paint, and then tip of the same brush dipped in white gouache. And immediately this white tip was printed to the bottom of the painted oval leg of the Christmas tree. Thus, we get a foot where the bottom edge has a pure white outline, and white-green stains go up from it.

And here is a real jewelry way of drawing needles of a snow-covered Christmas tree. Here it is drawn subtly and gracefully each large needle on the needles. Here we just see with our own eyes the way where the brush was dipped in paint on both sides.

And with such a brush we apply needles along the drawn branch. First, the left row (as on a comb), then the right row (as on a comb), and then (!!!) as many as three central rows of needles(so that the coniferous branch gets volume).

You can draw such experimental Christmas trees with gouache immediately in one drawing, fitting them into a single winter landscape.

These are the ideas of Christmas tree drawings that I have collected for you today in one Family Pile on our website. Now you can choose any way to draw a Christmas tree, based on the materials available and faith in your abilities.

Go ahead. Swing at artistic masterpieces. And may you succeed.
