To cultivate love and respect for the nature of the native land.

At first glance, this work may seem simple, but its advantages are in brightness and accessibility. After all, every child wants to receive positive result his work in a relatively short time.

materials : Gouache, brushes No. 1, No. 4-5, album, jar of water.

First we color the background. To draw the earth, we choose colors: green, yellow, white. We begin to paint the sheet from below with green paint.

After rinsing the brush, pick up yellow paint on the tip of the brush, add it to the cap with green paint, mix. With the resulting color, draw the next strip.

We wash the brush. We collect white paint on the tip of the brush, add it to the cap with green-yellow paint, mix. With the resulting color, draw the next strip.

Now let's draw the sky. We need blue and white paint. We mix in the lid, we get a soft blue color. Draw the next strip.

By continuing to add blue paint, we get new shades for the blue sky.

With a wide brush, with white paint, draw a tree trunk. We make the trunk thinner at the top. We transfer the nature of the location of the branches.

Now change the brush. To draw thin branches, use black paint. Do not forget to show the cracks on the bark of the trunk.

Then we decorate our birch with leaves. With a wide brush, poke paint on the drawing.

Be sure to use different shades of paint, because the leaves also turn yellow unevenly.

This work can be framed and hung on the wall or given to a friend!

In the previous lesson we talked about drawing viburnum and strawberries. And here you will find out how to draw a birch. Unlike viburnum, birch is the most useful tree! First, in the spring, juice is collected from it. I, too, once in my childhood with my father went to collect juice from a birch. Birch sap is a delicious natural drink. Then wine, syrup and kvass are made from it. I recommend that you drink birch sap when you have the opportunity, it is both healthy and tasty! But be careful when collecting birch sap! The loss of a lot of liquid can deplete the tree, and various disease-causing bacilli can enter into the wounds on the bark. The birch will get sick and may die. If you want to drink birch sap every year, take care of the trees!

Since it is autumn now (I wrote this article in September - note.), We will not be able to drink juice yet. Will have to wait for spring. But we can draw it. Which is what we're going to do right now.

Thin, slender birch has always been a symbol of beauty and shyness. This beautiful and useful tree, which gives delicious sweet juice, is very graceful and it is a pleasure to draw it. Birch is especially magnificent in summer, when lush foliage and birch "earrings" appear. Be sure to make some sketches in nature with a simple pencil, watercolor or watercolor pencils, crayons and watch how the wind sways its thin branches, how shiny carved leaves shimmer in the sun, touch the warm trunk. And now let's try to draw a birch in watercolor.

How to draw a birch in stages?

1. Take a thick sheet of A4 size watercolor paper. We draw on its rough side, not on the smooth side. You will also need a hard slate pencil, sharpened sharply. You don’t just need to try to make the stylus sharp as a needle, it will scratch the surface of the paper and the watercolor paint, getting into these scratches, will eat into it tightly and all of them will be very noticeable in the drawing. Doing easy pencil sketch of a future birch. Its features are a thin trunk and flexible branches that bend under the weight of foliage. The leaves are small, so we will depict them only as a hint, without drawing carefully.

   

   
   
2. We outline with a pencil the area where the birch foliage will be. Since it is small, from a distance it will seem that it is a dense bulk mass. The areas are uneven, somewhere part of the branches goes down, somewhere it lies in an even layer, especially at the top. Birch foliage descends like a cascade or a large green waterfall.

   

   
   
3. Now watercolor comes into play, and let's try to paint a birch with paints. With a transparent green-yellow paint, we paint over the surfaces where the foliage will be. We outline the sky with pale blue - the darkest paint will be on top, and light on the bottom. We make a smooth gradient transition, adding more water, we get a gentle summer sky. We denote the grass under the tree.

   

   
   
4. We enhance the color of the sky, you can add either a warm violet or a cold blue, outline the shadows. Each branch is like a big bunch, it has volume. Since the sunlight falls at an angle from above, the shadow will be at the bottom. We do not completely paint over the surface, but as if we are making such light strokes with a brush, indicating small clusters of birch leaves. In the lightest areas, the leaves can be drawn with small dashes or dots, just outline.

   

   
   
5. In the shadows, add more dark to give volume to the foliage. Notice how the layers of paint overlap - with little indentation. First came the lightest watercolor layer, then a little darker and the last - the darkest. You can make another one darker than the previous one and also draw it with a little indentation. We draw the leaves with dots or small “droplets”. See how the birch leaves are arranged.

   

   
   
6. We draw a trunk of a birch and its branches. On the trunk with a thin brush, draw small dark stripes. Please note that they are very different and uneven - some are small, there are more. It is better to take not thick black watercolor, but blue with red, so that you get a rich brown color with a cold tint. Part of the birch branches hide the foliage, so do not draw solid lines, make them dashed. This is especially noticeable in the figure in the lower branch on the left. We draw hanging thin branches. Under the branches we make a shadow - brown paint + blue or blue. Near the trunk, the branches will be darker. We add blue to the sky, you can leave spots and stains, they look like clouds. At the bottom at the base of the tree, we will strengthen the shadow - green + blue.

   

   
   
7. We complete the drawing. With a thin brush, we work out the details, enhance the shadows for contrast on the branches, tree trunk and on the ground. Pure black paint should not be used, it will look rather rough. It is better to take a combination of dark blue and red or dilute black with blue watercolor.

   

   
   

Now you can move away from the drawing and look at it from afar, check if you missed anything and what needs to be corrected. Following this not very complicated instruction for you, it will be quite easy to paint a birch tree with watercolors on your own.

How to draw a birch step by step.

Anyone immediately recognizes a birch both in winter and summer by the white color of the bark. The birch bark is very white with longitudinal light brown specks, but they are small and indistinguishable on the scale of the whole tree. From a distance, we also see marks on the birch trunk - black cracks on the bark and traces of dead branches. On large branches, the bark is also white, and on thinner ones it is dark brown, almost black. At a birch drooping (it is also a weeping birch), young thin branches often hang in long lashes. But, I note, this is not the case for all birches. Very often you see - birch trees grow nearby and one - all drooped, the branches hang like a living curtain, and the second one stands cheerfully, that you have a linden or a poplar - no despondency.

Comrades, when learning to draw trees in kindergarten kids are offered the image of a “birch”, resembling a triangle ... in general, a speckled carrot with four or five hanging branches. Having mastered this image, the children subsequently stamp any “birch” like this, introducing some variety only in the width of the base of the “trunk”, that is, the trunk gradually turns from an acute-angled triangle into an obtuse-angled one. I don't know what to do with it. Just DO NOT teach such distorted-schematic conventions. But in kindergarten, this is almost inevitable. What to do now, how to draw a birch tree realistically?

Well... consciously abandon the stereotypes instilled in infancy and try to see a real tree, and not a template imprinted in your head. In essence, this is possible.

Why am I talking about this? - Because children, when drawing both from imagination and from nature, operate mainly with stamps hardened in infancy and experience strong internal resistance to the very idea of ​​drawing from nature. Therefore, I would teach drawing trees from nature only to teenagers who have already gained awareness, and only to those of them who love plants and really want to learn how to draw trees in a similar way. Such is my opinion. What do you think about it?

So, we draw a birch in stages.

The sequence is the same as always when drawing plants: first, draw a diagram of the trunk and branches with a pencil.

Let's denote the crown and individual large branches:

Here I confess honestly, from this place I have already painted houses - with felt-tip pens and then with watercolors. My determination is definitely not enough to go out alone with a box of watercolors, water and brushes. The ability not to be embarrassed in public is not acquired in one moment.

I painted drooping branches with small leaves with pokes - brush number 1.

Good day, dear friends and guests, I am glad to welcome you on the pages of my block! Today I invite you on another journey around the world visual arts, in the fairytale forest of the country of Drawing. And what a journey without amazing stories, fabulous adventures and true friends.
What is a forest?
Trees to the sky
Birches and oaks, berries, mushrooms.
different paths,
hillocks and lowlands,
Soft grass, like an owl.
The forest is like a house, open on all sides
A carved roof of leaves is covered.
For birds, animals - a wonderful home,
You will see miracles in it!

The forest is like a very big one apartment house, and there are many inhabitants in it, and as it should be, he also has his own owner, and his name is Grandfather Lesovik.
Many people confuse Grandfather Lesovik with Leshy - a prankster, but he is not at all a playful person, Lesovik is a kind forest spirit. And he looks different: his arms and legs are covered with thick wooden bark, his hair and long beard are entwined with ivy, and moss usually grows on his cheeks. In addition, a small bird's nest always flaunts on the head of Grandfather Lesovik.
Grandfather Lesovik always helps people who are lost in the forest, you just need to ask him: "Grandfather Lesovik, you are in the forest, but I'm used to my house." If in the forest, where people often walk, Leshy is naughty, then in the hollow of a tree they put a small note to Grandfather Lesovik with a complaint about this spirit, and then the good Grandfather Lesovik will put things in order.

Grandfather Lesovik is a real, fair and kind owner of the forest, who came to visit us today! It is he who manages the forest, pacifies offenders, helps people, and since he has a lot to do, there are also helpers in in large numbers. About them, about the various magical secrets of the forest, we will talk today.
Who is hiding in your forest?
What kind of animal? What bird?
Open everything, do not hide:
You see, we are...

In the forest, everything is alive, every grass and berry, a tree has its own spirit - the guardian. For beautiful and juicy grass in the answer Herbalist with Herbalist.

I walked somehow
Through the forest

The cheerful Mushrooms look after the mushrooms in the forest so that they grow to the joy of the beast and people, and their brothers, the Mohoviches, grow mushrooms in the forest swamp, and they stir up moss (there are a lot of mushrooms in the forest and they are all different, but many are similar to each other in shape and the color of the legs - white).

For forest berries - Berry looks after, plays songs on the pipe, sings to them so that they grow well, they are sweet, and Strawberry helps him in that.
Know, children, strawberries -
It's a wild strawberry.

There are many different inhabitants in the forest, and there are enough miracles. They all live together, oh well, but only now a misfortune happened, and Grandfather Lesovik came to us for help:
I live in a dense forest
Forest friend I'm the best:
Protect and protect...
In autumn I fall asleep.
Only today I can not sleep,
Oh, I'm afraid something bad will happen!
Of course, you all know that the night is the most magical time, and when everyone is sleeping, everything happens ... At night everything comes to life in the forest, and the trees get tired of standing in one place, and they go to visit each other, have fun and dance , lead round dances.

But most of all, birch trees know how to dance, they will see enough during the day, how girls in bright scarves in a clearing dance smoothly, beautifully, and try to repeat the movements.

And today a disaster happened, the oak and willow have already returned, and other trees have gone to their places, but there are still no birches. The night was dark, the trees got scared and called Grandfather Lesovik for help.

And he called for help all his assistants, and all together they went to look for birch trees. It is good that the trunk of the birch is white, it is clearly visible in the dark, and the squirrel found one of the birch sisters. It turns out that birches not only have fun, but love to dance, but they also really like to draw different patterns - especially in winter in frosty air. And having learned that new artists appeared in the country of Drawing, they went to look at their drawings, but among the colors they got lost. Only one sister was able to return home. And Grandfather Lesovik asks you to help him, to return the birch sisters home. And for this you need to conjure with magic brushes, and draw white-barreled birches.

Materials and tools:
- sheet of A3 paper
- gouache
- brushes
- water bank
- cloth for hands and hands
- wet wipes

Master class progress:

First of all, to find birch trees among the colors, you need to draw a day, it is easier to search during the day than at night - in the dark. At night, the sky is black as a coal from a fire, and during the day it is like a blue river, and on a white leaf - we will not find white birches.
Over paper over sheet
Waving brush tail.
And not just waving,
And smears paper
She paints blue.
Wow, what a beauty!
How good is
Sky blue river!
We find the blue color in the paints, select the brush necessary for drawing the sky (background) (the largest one - we provide the children with a choice). We remember how to use a brush and paints correctly, and start drawing from the very top of the sheet, applying horizontal blue lines.

To make the sky beautiful and even, use wet wipes (rub the color). We got acquainted with this method of work in the previous lesson.
The sky turned out to be bright, gentle as if lit by the sun, it's time to draw a meadow where our sisters - birch trees live.
We wash the brush well, and start working with the green color at the bottom of the sheet (we do the same work as with the blue color).
Green grass, green leaf,
Green grasshopper on a bump - jump-jump!
The green toad, seeing him,
She said only: “Am!”, And then - nothing ..
(M. Yanushkevich)

The background of our drawing turned out wonderful, like a warm autumn day. It's time to look for birches, their snow-white trunks (children find white).
White color lives in chamomile
Loves daddy's shirt
Sleeps in snow, snowdrifts, ice,
And frolicking in the clouds.

White-trunked birch -
Symbol of my Motherland.
There is no other tree
Dear Russian heart.
We all know that trees grow from small seeds that fall into the ground, but in the land of Drawing, the opposite is true. We grow a tree from the tip of the brush, from a small dot at the top of the sheet. We put a small dot on the drawing, apply a brush to it, then “roll” the brush along the drawing down to the green grass. They "rolled" the brush and found a lot of birch trees (do not forget that the brush loves to drink water and eat paint - such a glutton).

And now let's dress the birch trees in green sarafans, draw the leaves with the help of "tyap - lyapochek" (adhering the brush to a sheet of paper).
One two three four five
Let's draw leaves.
Leaf color is green
Under the green moss hummock,
And green needles
They grow on the tree all year round.

Now we will decorate the green sundresses of birch trees with patterns of yellow, warm as the sun leaves. We draw yellow leaves by sticking a brush to a sheet of paper.
Birches with yellow foliage
Shine in the azure blue ...

The yellow color on the brush mixed with the green color of the leaves and we got a beautiful yellow - green color, artists call it light green. With this warm and delicate color, we will draw the leaves that have fallen to the ground.
The leaves sparkle with bright colors,
The wind blows - they fly around ...

So our beauties were found - birches.

For older children, the task can be complicated by offering to circle the trunks of birches with a black contour line (we draw the line from top to bottom with a thin brush).

Then we draw twigs that stretch towards the sun and spots on the birch trunk.

Using the priming method, we draw leaves on birch trees and the ground. Among the fallen leaves we draw blades of grass - small thin strokes.

Well, what is autumn without mushrooms. First, draw their legs in white (apply the brush to the sheet vertically), then the hats in red (apply the brush to the legs in a horizontal position).

These are the Russian beauties, white-trunked birches, we found with children in the country of Drawing, lost among the colors.

The birch trees were very happy that they were again in their native clearing in the forest, and of course meeting new friends. They thank with all their hearts both the saviors and the guests, and invite them to visit, marvel at the wonders of the forest, and treat themselves to birch sap! And, Grandfather Lesovik is always on duty, a kind person and help and joy from the gifts of the forest, but there is no evil way there, the forest will not let him in!
