Drawing master class. Landscape-mood "Late autumn"
Kokorina Elena Yurievna, teacher visual arts, MOU Slavninskaya average comprehensive school, Tver region, Torzhoksky district.
Purpose of work: drawing master class is designed for children from 10 years old, fine art teachers and educators additional education. The drawing can be used to participate in competitions, exhibitions, interior decoration or as a gift.
Target: execution of a landscape on the theme "Late autumn"
Tasks:
to develop the idea that through the selection of colors it is possible to convey in the drawing a certain weather and mood characteristic of a rainy late autumn;
to form the skills of wet toning paper with watercolors;
cultivate interest in landscape painting and to the drawing process itself.
For work we need: landscape sheet, watercolor, water cup, brushes of various thickness and hardness (squirrel or pony No. 4, No. 2; bristle No. 8), wax pencils.
All rain and rain. puddles everywhere,
Streams are pouring onto the ground from the roofs.
Every day is cloudier and worse,
And from the sharp autumn cold
Don't know where to find shelter.
All the rain and rain ... the roses withered,
Flowers are frozen, do not bloom,
And there are only tears on the trees...
Another week and frost
They will come to us menacingly from the north.(M. P. Chekhov)
Late fall. Many consider this time boring, sad and sad. Probably so. Usually during this period it rains endlessly, the sun almost never comes out, the birds do not sing, the days look gray, it starts to get dark earlier. The trees are already completely bare, the leaves have flown around. The sky is hanging low gray clouds. But in late autumn there are very pleasant days. Suddenly the rain stops and it gets a little warmer, fog curls over the ground. Breathe easy...
Today I propose to draw a landscape that conveys the mood of late autumn, which Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin told us about in his poems:
The days of late autumn are usually scolded,
But she is dear to me, dear reader,
Silent beauty, shining humbly.
So unloved child in the native family
It draws me in...
For the picture, take a gray-blue tinted cardboard. black wax pencil Let's draw the basis of our landscape.
Let's start with the tree. Let's draw a trunk and branches.
Let's draw a horizon line.
Let's draw a house.
Around the house, a fence.
Let's draw the details of the house: windows, roof.
Draw several large leaves on the branches of trees.
We will also add a few leaves to the ground, and in the foreground - a small puddle.
Let's draw clouds in the sky.
Stage two: paint over the drawing with watercolors.
Let's start by filling the background. To get blurry tones, we use the technique of toning paper in a raw way.
I want to remind you the technique of toning in a raw way. Wet a sheet of paper with water in wide strokes with a wide brush. Then by wet sheet we apply the paint of the color we need and the color of the picture that suits the given color. We apply so that the borders of the paint touch, even slightly overlap each other. So with one color you can highlight the earth, and with another the sky, and the border between them is blurred.
When drawing gloomy, rainy, cloudy weather, we will use gray, black, purple, brown, dark blue ... a range of colors.
To fill the sky, we will use purple watercolor, iron blue and ultramarine.
We paint over the tree trunk. To do this, we take black watercolor, natural umber and sepia.
Fill in the lower part of the picture. For autumn withered grass, we use natural umber and burnt sienna.
We paint the house. For the walls we use golden ocher and natural sienna; for the roof - kraplak dark red and sepia.
We make a drawing of the background. To do this, take a brush with hard bristles and use the “poke” method to draw trees.
With short strokes we set the texture of the blades of grass in the foreground.
Paint over the leaves on the tree and on the grass with golden ocher.
Shade the foliage of the trees with black paint and emphasize the texture of the trunk of a nearby tree.
For the puddle, let's take the same colors as for the sky: purple watercolor, iron blue and ultramarine.
On this you can finish the drawing, but I suggest the third stage: draw the details of the drawing with wax pencils.
We emphasize the gray clouds with a black wax pencil.
We introduce black, dark blue and purple pencils in the upper part of the sky. We put the strokes horizontally, easily. Emphasizing rather than overlapping the texture of the paint.
With a black pencil, we emphasize the trunk and branches of the tree.
Let's introduce a dark green pencil into the grass.
With a yellow pencil, we emphasize the shadows on the walls of the house.
Looking carefully at the picture, we see that there is not enough foliage on the tree. Therefore, we take a brush with hard bristles and golden ocher and, using the “poke” method, apply paint on the crown of the tree and under the tree.
Now the work is finished, you can insert it into the frame.

Final result
Color is important for getting the right mood in all digital art. Therefore, in today's tutorial I will show you how to create three different moods for one drawing, and also talk about using tools Adobe Photoshop to move from one mood to another.
What is mood?
If you close your eyes and imagine a sunset, what associations do you have in your head? The warmth of the sun instantly touches the face, and hot, fiery colors fill the sky. You can even feel how magical calmness and pleasure flows through the body from contemplating the beauty of the transition from day to night.
Simply put, this is the mood.
Mood in painting is an opportunity to transfer emotions to the canvas using colors, composition and lighting. And it does not matter whether it is intentional or not, the basis of the work is always the mood.
How can I change my mood?
First of all, we will reveal the basics of color theory. Each color has a certain mood. And some may even evoke several emotions at once.
Red and blue have their own distinct moods. What do you feel when you look at these colors?
The bloody passion of red, for example, can convey both love and anger, while the calmness of blue can also illustrate its polar opposite, intense sadness.
So the same important aspects sentiments?
- Composition
- Lighting
- Colour
But why is the color last place? Well, first you need to draw the scene; composition is the key to the emotionality of your masterpiece.
Because the color drawing is coming hand in hand with the lighting scheme, it is important to establish how the time of day, light sources and even weather conditions affect the emotionality of the work. When everything is ready, you can start experimenting with different shades.
sketch
To demonstrate the power of different moods, I'll take a simple beach landscape and paint it three ways: at noon, at sunset, and at night.
Create new document size 800 x 700px with permission 150 dpi. Using the tool Ellipse(Ellipse Tool), I will create a simple circle with contour(Stroke) thick 1 pt, then add New layer(New Layer) and set it as clipping mask(Clipping Mask) to a circle. Here I will draw sand, crab and waves using Hard round brush(Hard Round Brush).
A drawing of a crab from Envato Market became the inspiration for the composition, and I filled in the rest with various details found on the Internet. Please note that the sketch is very minimalistic. This will allow me to easily move to different times of the day, where I can focus on distinct changes in the sky and on the surface of the water.
Now that the sketch is ready, let's move on to drawing.
1. How to Draw a Sunny Midday Scene
Step 1
To simplify the process, the first drawing will become the basis for the rest. simple circuit lighting will then help me easily draw the evening and night, if I use it wisely Adjustment layers(Adjustment Layers). Since we are drawing the base, it is important to do everything on separate layers so that we can switch later.
Remove the temporary Stroke(Stroke) from the circle, then click right click, to Rasterize layer(Rasterize Layer). Select it with magic wand (Magic Wand Tool). Click right click and select Invert Selection(Inverse Selection). Create new group(New Group), then, without removing the selection, add Layer mask(Layer Mask) for the group.
Place your sketch inside the group. Setting the pattern this way is the best way to organize layers.
Step 2
Create a new layer for each section of the drawing, make sure all the main details are separated for the best organization. Name the layers by their content and then use Hard round brush(Hard Round Brush) to paint over the areas with the main color. "Blend" the sketch layer by setting its blend mode to Soft light(Soft Light) and use dull light shades as the base color so that you can easily add light and shadow later.
Step 3
For each area, create New layer - clipping mask(New Layers as Clipping Masks). This will allow you to draw in a limited area. Set the layer blend mode for this step to Multiplication(Multiply) and start drawing the shadow. Since we have a bright sunny day, the light will fall from above, and the sun itself will not be visible on the horizon.
Use references from the Internet to understand the lighting scheme. Take the colors of a certain photo as a basis, making the drawing more realistic. Add texture for sand, rocks and leaves with Square pastel brush(Square Pastel Brush) from the tool's preset menu Brush(Brush presets).
Step 4
Continue to develop the lighting scheme. Add New layers(New Layers) with blend mode overlap(Overlay) adding light for the sand, water, leaves and sky.
With help Soft round brush(Soft Round Brush) paint light clouds in the sky and soft waves in the ocean. For the sky, make loose strokes while keeping the clouds linear. And for the ocean, draw curving waves that break on the shore. You can switch to the tool at any time Eraser(Eraser Tool) to soften the strokes.
Step 5
Continue painting details on separate clipping layers for each section. Switch to Rigidround brush(Hard Round Brush) with 100% Rigidity(Hardness) to emphasize the edges and make the picture not so blurry.
In nature, light bounces off a lot of things, so be sure to add bright sparkly reflections on the water and sand. This can be achieved by drawing long ripples on the sea and tiny dots on the beach.
Step 6
Finish defining the drawing. Add more bright light the sky, showing that the sun can be hidden behind the clouds. Add New adjustment layer(New Adjustment Layer) Color search(Color Lookup) with the following settings, making the colors crisper and warmer.
This is what the final drawing looks like. Work has a very warm and happy mood, doesn't it?
2. How to draw sunrise/sunset
Step 1
Let's move on to the sunset scene. As I mentioned earlier, we use the original drawing to make it easier to transition to different moods and times of day. Since we need to drastically change the lighting scheme, Delete(Delete) a few layers from the previous drawing and go back to initial stage where most of the main light sources are absent.
I needed to change the lighting. First of all, add the main colors. Do New layers(New Layers) clipping to each section and paint over the areas on top of the bases using Gradient(Gradient Tool). Make the water lighter, the sand richer, and the leaves darker by simulating a silhouette.
Step 2
Start applying the sunset color scheme. Install New layers(New Layers) as Clipping Masks(Clipping Masks) for the sky and use the tool Gradient(Gradient Tool) by creating Linear gradients(Linear Gradients) oranges and purples over the water. This will help to save parts of the picture, such as clouds, because you can simply Show(Unhide) these layers by adding them to the drawing.
Step 3
To drastically change the color and lighting, as well as make the drawing more cohesive, we need to experiment with Adjustment layers(Adjustment Layers). Add New adjustment layer(New Adjustment Layer) Color search(Color Lookup) with the following settings above all others. Then create Layer mask(Layer Mask) and softly paint over the black areas, removing the warm tint from the sky and the beach.
Then add New adjustment layer(New Adjustment Layer) gradient map(Gradient Map) using sunset colors. Set the blend mode to Chroma(Color) and cut Opacity(Opacity) to 30% .
Keep making adjustments until you're ready to get back to painting. Here I added another layer Color search(Color Lookup) with these settings:
Let Adjustment Layers help you! Now I can move on to painting, because the colors look much more harmonious.
Step 4
After all these adjustments, you need to return to painting to balance everything. Set the blend mode new layer(New Layer) on overlap(Overlay), adding more warmth to the sky and water, as well as drawing a bright sun on the horizon. Choose orange and white shades for the best brightness.
The sunset creates frozen silhouettes, so be sure to change the color of the ship. Draw shadows on the crab, as well as a distinct shadow behind it.
Step 5
Start painting highlights on the water. At this time of day, the mood is much calmer than during sunny day, which we drew earlier. Make the water still by focusing on the reflection of the sun in long, smooth ripples.
Step 6
Just like in the previous steps, use Hard round brush(Hard Round Brush) with 100% hardness(Hardness) in order to clean up the details of the picture. Right now the crab looks quite blurry, so make sure to give it a clear stroke.
Paint even more highlights on the sand, water and sky. draw shiny dots, keeping the style similar to the first picture. When you're done, the final result will look like this.
Can you believe that we started with sunny weather?
3. How to draw a night landscape
Step 1
Last but not least we will have a night beach! Just like last time, we can start drawing using a sunny day as a base. This time we'll keep some of the bottom parts of the drawing by deleting most of the layers for the sky.
Start with the original sunny beach and take away the sky so we can turn it into a nightscape!
Step 2
Merge the sky layers. Then create New layer(New Layer) above it and set it as clipping mask(Clipping Masks) to the sky. Use the tool Gradient(Gradient Tool) and add linear gradient(linear gradient) dark blue. This will help create an empty "canvas" for our nightscape.
Step 3
To remove the remaining sunny areas, we again need Adjustment layers(Adjustment Layers). Start with two New Adjustment Layers(New Adjustment Layer) Color search(Color lookup). They will immediately make the colors more suitable for a cold night mood.
Trust photoshop change colors and moods with the Color Lookup tool.
Add another one Adjustment layer(Adjustment Layer) Levels(Levels) by adjusting the settings for RGB channel as below:
Step 4
Create New layer Multiplication(Multiply). Draw shadows along the beach with Soft round brush(Soft Round Brush), leaving free space in the middle where the moon will be. Try the silhouette effect again, create more drama by focusing the shadows on the edges. You can also notice that I decided to draw the land on the horizon, allowing the ship to stand out in contrast with the background.
Step 5
Create New layer(New Layer) with blend mode overlap(Overlay), then draw a big bright white moon against the dark sky. Add more glow around the moon and let it bounce off the water as it helps light up the landscape.
Step 6
As usual, switch to Hard round brush(Hard Round Brush) with 100% hardness(Hardness), making every detail clearer. Add tiny dots in the sky and glitter from the moon's glow on the sand and water. Draw the reflection of the moon on the surface of the water using small wavy ripples.
Keep improving your drawing. For extra contrast and a slight tint, create New adjustment layer(New Adjustment Layer) Color search(Color Lookup) with the following settings.
And here is the final result!
You can magically transition to different moods and color schemes in the same picture with Adjustment Layers and Blending Modes.
Experimentation makes for great results, so learn to break away from your usual linear drawing process and have fun with Photoshop's various tools and settings.
Learning the process of creating color drawings takes time, so if you have questions about the process, ask them in the comments.
Color affects our feelings and arouses emotions, as evidenced by such expressions as "purple with rage", "green with envy", "blacken with grief", "see in pink light". This means that the choice of color determines how the painting will appear: warm and cozy, cool and refreshing, or energetic and dramatic. Knowing how colors combine and interact with each other, you can convey feelings such as excitement and calmness in the picture.
Choosing colors to convey emotions
Warm colors (reds, yellows, oranges) convey energy and rebirth. I use warm colors when I want to express passion and other positive emotions. Cool colors (blue, green, purple) are more relaxing and soothing. I choose cool colors to express a sense of peace and tranquility. The combination of contrasting (complementary) colors (directly opposite to each other, if arranged in a circle) creates the greatest tension. When I want to get the effect of movement or trembling, I use the scheme additional colors. Using the example of the painting with flowers shown here, I wanted to show how you can convey different moods in paints in one plot.
Color scheme. Color circle
Color circle- this is an auxiliary visual scheme showing how colors are combined with each other - warm and cold, primary or primary (red, yellow, blue), and secondary (orange, green, purple); additional, or contrasting (blue, orange). The color wheel is convenient when choosing colors for a picture.
cold colors
Cool colors: a state of calm. For these irises, I chose cool blues, greens and purples. Pay attention to the feeling of calm that is conveyed in this picture. I love the fresh, cool palette of colors for the sharp outlines of the petals and leaves.
warm colors
Warm colors: a feeling of excitement. Here I have chosen a wide range of yellows and reds for the gladioli. Such a predominantly warm palette creates a feeling of hot summer day. Use warm colors when you want to convey a bright and joyful mood.
More contrasting complementary colors
Higher contrast (complementary colors): create a strong impression. Here I was looking for a combination of yellow and purple. There is something magical about such a contrasting color combination. The colors are really vibrant. each other, create a picture of a bewitching, eye-catching.
Mixing paints
Although you can mix colors on the palette, transparency watercolor paints allows you to apply them in layers and mix directly on paper. This creates a new effect.
Can be applied wet to dry or wet to wet. Experiment with layering colors on top of each other to see different effects. Try to apply two primary colors and get a secondary color. Mix two complementary colors together and see how they cancel each other out or give off a dull, grayish tint. Try different color combinations and different methods applying paint layers to get a feel for how watercolor paints manifest themselves.
