Marina (marine, marina, from marinus - sea) is the most popular genre among art lovers, depicting a sea view or events taking place at sea. The sea element captivates with its unpredictable variability. Gentle play of mother-of-pearl shades of a sunny day suddenly changes into rich contrasts of a pre-stormy state. Heavy clouds are replaced by the soothing lilac velvet of sunset. It is difficult to resist the desire and not capture this beauty on paper. We propose to make three drawings depicting the sea in three graphic techniques: colored pencils, watercolor pencils and pastel pencils from STABILO.

Before starting work, remember the view of the sea or the weather condition of the sea element that is most vividly imprinted in your memory. It’s good if you already have a sketch of the landscape, and you clearly remember the entire color palette of the sky, clouds, sand, coastal stones, and the very surface of the sea. If there is no sketch, then you can use the photograph as the source material for the drawing. For work, use colored pencils, firms "STABILO", watercolor paper with the texture of "eggshell" A4 size, to correct the picture, use an eraser.

For the image with colored pencils, the state of a sunny day with a slight calm on the sea, with a playful surf of waves on a rocky shore, was chosen. A sailboat near the horizon and seagulls high in the sky are the invariable characteristic elements of the seascape and will add some spirituality to the picture.

Stage 1. Preparatory drawing.

Use light contour lines to place landscape elements on the sheet. First of all, just above the middle of the sheet, draw a horizon line. She conditionally divides the drawing into "heaven" and "earth". Closer to the upper edge of the sheet, outline a series of near and slightly lower distant clouds. To the left, mark the rocky edge of the coast and from it to the right down the border of the coastal sand with the rollback of the wave. Arrange the wave lines on the sea surface in descending order towards the horizon line. In the right part of the drawing, mark the outlines of the sailboat, in the upper part - the silhouettes of seagulls.

Stage 2. The task of this stage is to reveal the color tonal relationships in the landscape.

With pencils in shades of blue, lightly stroke the sky, most of the sea surface and the shady parts of the rocky coast. Overlap the array of coast and coastal sand over blue with pink, it will generalize the color scheme of this part and serve as the color of the most illuminated places.

Layout by color

Stage 3. Light-air perspective in a landscape.

With more frequent hatching, reveal the depth of the sky: closer to the top of the sheet, increase the color saturation, contrast the upper edge in the clouds; closer to the horizon, reduce the saturation of the color tone and soften the contrast at the bottom of the clouds. On the surface of the sea, draw a generalized background. The foreground of the surf will require more careful study: separate the vertical parts of the waves with warmer shades from the horizontally located foot - they are colder shades. The same shades prevail in parts of the ebb of the water on the coastal sand. Solve the rocks in more detail according to the planes of the relief, they contain shades of beige sand tones.

Layout by color

Stage 4. Detailing elements and generalization of the landscape.

After completing the work with halftones, look again at the drawing, perhaps somewhere there was a need to adjust the tone and pattern of the element. Where necessary, remove the excess with the edge of the eraser, somewhere you can go through the color again. Further elaboration of objects with color consists in drawing characteristic details: refining the pattern of nearby clouds, identifying shape and volume. Draw crests of waves and splashes of water. More specifically, define the outlines of the sailboat. Emphasize the relief of the rocky part of the coast with contrasts. Add details to the water recoil lines and wet sand with coastal pebbles. Sketch the silhouettes of seagulls high in the sky.

Layout by color

Stage 5 Shutdown

In conclusion, take a quick look at the drawing and determine whether all the elements of the landscape are in harmony with each other, whether it was possible to maintain the integrity of the composition by placing accents, convey the light-air perspective of space, and, most importantly, convey the unforgettable breathtaking beauty of the sea.

    You can draw something like this, calm sea.

    We make a general markup of the picture

    draw clouds in the sky

    draw palm branches

    now the sea

    add shadows from the palm tree

    now, you can color with colored pencils or paints

    There are several types of paintings to paint the sea.

    The first option is to divide the sheet into the horizon and the sea. You can draw a circle that will be the sun, and the shore.

    Then we draw a coast with stones and a boat.

    Here is another way of drawing the sea.

    every artist paints the sea the way he sees it. but if we talk about phased drawing, then the most important thing is to draw waves. if you cope with this task, consider that you have already drawn the sea. at least that's how it seems to me. wave drawing algorithm is given below:

    If you draw the sea in black and white, then in addition to a pencil, you can also use charcoal, so you will quickly achieve the desired effect, where you need to darken to black ...

    I pay attention to the second picture where the sea with seagulls is depicted ..))

    and here is the color version, we drew quickly, we didn’t work on small details, you can see right away,

    and in the last picture you can see that the artist tried to depict the bottom of the sea ..)

    You can try to depict the sea by watching this master class:

    The work is quite painstaking, difficult, but the result will definitely be worth the effort. And the drawing process itself, I'm sure, will bring a lot of pleasure.

    Here is a very simple way how draw the sea step by step. To do this, first we draw two lines, then we sketch the coast and mountains in the background. After that, draw a boat. Next, add the birds and move on to coloring the picture.

    It is very difficult to draw the sea like real marine painters. It is necessary to have talent, like Aivazovsky.

    The sea has a sea (sorry for the tautology) of colors, shades, overflows. In addition, its color changes from weather changes, from the presence of sunlight, etc.

    In the drawings proposed by Enua, I liked the penultimate one, which depicts the bottom of the sea. Already this detail gives more or less realism to the picture.

    If you draw the sea not picturesquely, but schematically, then you don’t need to draw anything here!)). It is enough to depict a sailing boat, and anyone will say that the sea is drawn.

    Look how I did it in just one minute in Paint! (True, I'm bad at drawing ships ..)

    Drawing the sea is not an easy task, but it's worth a try.

    It is important to choose the style itself, the technique in which you want to draw, to present the general view of the picture.

    You want to show a storm or a coastal surface, or maybe incoming waves.

    With paints, the wave can be conveyed in small strokes, mixing shades, adding white, to draw foam and waves. The background can be left flat.

    It is better to draw small hills and wave crests with a pencil.

    Green, blue, purple - these shades can be used to enliven the picture and convey shadows for volume.

    After that, we take ready-made drawings and draw again but on our sheet. Any boat, crab, nudists, vendors with boiled corn, a bio-toilet, beer bottles and other attributes of the modern sea can fit perfectly here. I decided to add such necessary items as a palm tree and a naked woman:

    You can also shove the ocean liner Queen Mary 2 and the minion, because this topic whose hour is very popular, as well as the shark:

    It remains to decorate beautifully)

    Certainly, draw the sea it’s not an easy task, it can be quiet, calm, or just a dangerous avalanche that destroys all life, but still most people adore it and dream of relaxing in the sea. Below is an example of a phased drawing of the sea along with the beach, add sun loungers and a couple of palm trees - it will be just a real paradise.

Landscape is a special genre of painting. It combines the feelings awakened in the artist from the contemplation of nature, and the skill with which he conveys to the viewer the state of his soul. In this master class, you have the opportunity to truly depict the living colors of nature, the beauty of the sunset on the sea.
It is impossible to be able to do everything, although, in contrast to the same phrase, there is another, no less famous - "a talented person is talented in everything." It's hard not to agree. Perhaps, in reality, something is given to us easier, something is more difficult. But the result depends solely on the determination and desire to achieve the goal. Therefore, even being by nature a person of an absolute technical profession, who never encounters creativity, one can learn to draw. You can start, for example, by drawing a landscape.

In this master class, we will create together with you a landscape with a sunset on the sea.

I love the beauty of the sunset...
Especially when it's on the water...
The brilliance of the waves of burning wondrous rolling ...
Everything brings out the best in me...
Takes your breath away...
And my heart sings with bliss...
For the body - it's millet temptation ...
He is called to a feat from afar ...
You can't enjoy this beauty...
Sunset on the sea is Heaven on Earth...
You can fall in love without noticing...
And get sick of all this beauty ...
I love the sunset marvelous glow ...
The sunset really became to me like a native ...
I'll throw it away, I'll remove all doubts ...
Everyone loved the sunset with his soul
(Vladislav Amelin)

Thank you for your attention
CREATIVE SUCCESS TO YOU!

One of the quirky features is not the sea at all. Here it is more important to buy a bunch of different trinkets and fridge magnets. Otherwise, it does not count as rest. After all, you can fry your ass in the sun anywhere, and you can buy real Crimean shells made in Vietnam only in Crimea. Photographs or, if you are an artist, drawings can also be evidence of a good vacation. Looking forward to the summer holidays, we can prepare in advance, and learn how to draw a beach with a pencil. The beach is a bunch of artificially created mixture of clay and shiny pebbles for the comfort of tourists' butts. There is also natural sand on the bottoms of lakes, rivers and children's sandboxes, but it is not so pleasant to the touch and is teeming with local inhabitants of flora and fauna.

In the civilized world, the beach is more than just substance. It's a place to hang out, it's a cultural institution. The list of interesting things to do here is small, mainly boils down to:

  • Castle building;
  • Burying friends in it;
  • Search for treasures, shells, forgotten jewelry by tourists;
  • Declarations of love on the sand, which are immediately washed away by the surf. Symbolically.

And yet, the beach brings a lot of joy to the kids and their parents. Let us especially follow, because the child is busy with something all day. Cheap and cheerful. If you have a desire to bring from the sea not only a set of a young tourist, but also a beautiful picture painted by yourself, I recommend that you practice with us for now.

How to draw a beach with a pencil step by step

Step one. Sketch. First, let's outline the location of objects on paper. I don’t know what you will have there, I have an umbrella, a deck chair, and a couple of palm trees or other exotic vegetation.
Step two. Let's add some details to the above items.
Step three. Let's draw an umbrella, a deck chair, carefully draw palm leaves.
Step four. In the background, add the sea, clouds. And in the foreground we will shade. The sketch is ready. Here's how it turned out:
You can add something interesting, or even color it. I will be glad to see your work, send your work! You can attach a picture right under this article, or in our VKontakte group! I also recommend trying to learn how to draw.

In this photo tutorial, we will look at a simple technique for drawing a seascape. This lesson is perfect for beginners, because the plot lacks precise drawings and complex constructions. The main task in drawing the sea is to harmoniously mix paints on wet paper and make a graduated wash for a realistic water effect.

So, prepare your workplace and take the necessary tools:

  • watercolor paints;
  • special paper for watercolor painting;
  • container with water;
  • brushes round synthetics or columns No. 5,3 and 4;
  • pencil with eraser.

Drawing stages

Step 1. It's worth starting work by creating a pencil sketch. Visually divide the sheet into 2/3 parts and draw a horizontal line in the upper part of the sheet. Thus, we have created a horizon line. Next, draw the coast line in the lower left corner.

Draw a big wave under the horizon line.

Below we create small waves.

The sketch is ready. We turn to drawing with paint, but first we discolor the rich outline of the drawing with an eraser.

Step 2. Fill the upper part of the sea (behind the big wave) with translucent ultramarine. Blur too clear contours with a wet brush.

Step 3. High waves transmit sunlight well, distorting the main color of the water, making it warmer, so paint over them with a greenish-turquoise tone. We shade the basis of the near wave with lemon diluted with a large amount of water. The crests of the waves are left white for now.

Step 4. Fill in the gaps between the waves with a light ultramarine. Next, with yellow ocher, we outline a piece of the shore in the lower left corner.

Step 5. We collect a shade of indigo on the tip of the brush No. 3 and designate with it the dark fate of the waves that form the crests.

Video recipe for the occasion:

Step 6. Wet technique and graduated blur will help us to make a realistic sky. Wet the sky area with water and with the help of a large brush and cobalt blue, we begin to draw the sky and the outlines of the clouds.

Step 7. On the sand we draw stones and algae thrown ashore. For a more interesting result, we recommend making a few splashes in a brown tone in order to convey the texture of the sandy shore as much as possible.

Step 8. Add contrast to the pattern with more saturated shades of turquoise and ultramarine.
