To draw a tree, it would seem that it could be easier. But in order for you to get a beautiful, eye-pleasing drawing, you need to try hard. It is not necessary to have the talent of an artist, you can master special techniques and you will succeed.
A tree can be drawn in completely different ways. It can be a bright colorful drawing, or vice versa a black and white picture. It all depends on your mood, on the emotions that you want to convey.
By depicting just one tree, you can convey the entire environment around it.
How to draw a tree in kindergarten in stages
From a very young age, children are drawn to drawing. Yearlings will be happy to imitate you, waving a pencil over a sheet of paper. By the age of two, a child's hand coordination will allow him to draw the simplest things. At this age, many children start going to kindergarten.
In kindergarten, classes are held in which children learn to draw. They begin to hold the pencil correctly, draw lines and circles. Parents, however, should practice with the child at home. To do this, you need to know how to properly explain to a novice artist the technique of drawing an object.
Drawing a tree is also divided into several stages, which the child must remember well and master in practice. Do not try to complete the task instead of him, assigning the child the role of an observer. In early childhood, all manipulations with hands and fingers help the development of the child's speech.
Let's take a look at the easiest way to teach a child.
First stage is to draw a tree schematically. To do this, the child must understand that a tree grows from the ground, that it has a trunk and a crown with leaves. Do not forget that at first we make all the sketches with a simple pencil. We do not put much pressure on it, so that later it will be easy for you to remove unnecessary elements.
We mark the ground with a horizontal line, and draw a tree trunk perpendicular to it. In order for the tree to have a crown, where the tree trunk ends, draw a circle or an oval.
Second stage make our tree more real. Outline the trunk by adding a few roots and a couple of large branches.
AT third stage outline the crown.
Fourth stage. Making the tree realistic. We add a few more lace turns of the crown in the center, remove all unnecessary details. The tree is ready.
How to draw a tree trunk
The trunk is the base of the tree. It doesn’t matter what tree you are drawing, whether it is a lonely birch in a field or, on the contrary, a dense pine forest, you will start drawing from the trunk.
To make the tree look more natural, the trunk must be drawn correctly, regardless of whether you have a pencil in your hand or a brush. According to the rules, starting from the ground, the trunk is wider and gradually tapering closer to the crown.
If you paint with paints, then draw the base with a wide part of the brush, and the upper part with a narrower one. The line should be thin and flowing.
Try to draw so that the trunk looks alive. It is difficult to find a tree with a perfectly even trunk or symmetrical branches. Don't forget shadows and highlights. They will add volume to the drawing.
How to draw a tree branch
The tree has large main branches and smaller branches growing from the main ones. Like the trunk, large branches are thicker at the base. The type of tree determines the nature of the image of the branches. At a birch, the branches stretch upwards towards the sun, at a pine or spruce they fan down to the ground.
First, make a sketch, deciding where the branch will grow, how many branches it has, what structure.
How to draw tree leaves
Leaves are an integral part of any tree. Each tree has its own kind of foliage. If you do not have a goal to depict a tree in detail and as accurately as possible, then you should not thoroughly draw each leaf.
Let's look at how to draw leaves more realistically, for example, maple.
To begin with, we make sketches, draw the base and outline. Gradually outline the entire edge of the sheet and remove the excess with an eraser.
Add a leaf twig and veins. Fill in the drawing with color. For the summer version, we use several shades of green, for autumn, warm red-orange tones.
How to draw a tree with a pencil step by step
Let's not draw any specific type of tree, let's draw a regular tree. Follow all the steps below and you will have a good quality drawing.
First stage.
Remember that you don’t need to press hard on the pencil, otherwise it will be difficult to erase the sketch later and the drawing will turn out to be dirty. So, first we draw a trunk and an approximate outline of the tree crown.
Second phase.
We make the outline of the trunk clearer and add a few branches.
Third stage.
It's time to draw the foliage. Decide whether the weather is windy or calm. If the wind is blowing in your drawing, the foliage should lean in one direction or another. In our example, windless weather.
Fourth stage.
Now you need to remove the sketch and draw the elements of the tree in detail, starting from the bottom. We draw bark and branches.
Fifth stage.
To make the bark more natural, the lines should be like a sketch, no neatness is needed here. Add at this stage a branch with leaves on the left side.
Sixth stage.
We continue to sketch out the foliage with rounded movements. Adding earth to the drawing.
Seventh stage.
We select the tree trunk with a darker pencil, and on the contrary, paint over the foliage softly and lighter.
Eighth stage.
Don't forget about shadow play. Since the sun is shining from above, the top of the crown should be lighter, and where the shadow is, in this case the lower left corner, a little darker.
Ninth stage.
In random order, draw a few leaves.
Tenth stage.
On the right side, we also add a little shadow under the branches.
Eleventh stage.
At the last stage, it remains to add highlights. For work done with paints, take white, and if you draw in black and white, just erase a little with an eraser.
How to draw a tree step by step for beginners
If you are a completely new artist, then this method is sure to suit you. Prepare a white sheet of paper, pencils, including a simple one, and an eraser.
Stage 1 and 2. To begin with, let's draw a trunk and some thin branches.
We add volume to the branches, draw the same lines next to the existing branches, which smoothly transition into new branches. We remove unnecessary details with an eraser.
We draw foliage. To do this, with smooth lace lines, as if we are putting a hat on a tree, we draw a crown. Behind it we draw the next, larger size. Next is the third, largest crown.
Now it remains to paint over the trunk in brown, and each part of the crown with different shades of green.
How to draw a tree with paints
Before you start painting, you need to choose high-quality paints. It is better to learn to paint with gouache, it does not spread, unlike watercolor. So the drawing will be more accurate.
Let's paint a winter spruce with paints.
First, draw the trunk and the branches going up from it in brown. Then you need to outline the needles in green. In some places, the paint should be lighter so that the drawing is more alive. We paint over the inside of the spruce with green paint with the addition of blue.
We are waiting for the paint to dry completely and proceed to the snow. To depict snow on the branches, add a little blue to the white.
How to draw an autumn tree
With the onset of autumn, nature is decorated with all shades of red. In September, you can see a bewitching landscape, when, against the background of still green foliage, another one, already red-orange, is blazing. Hands are drawn to paints.
The autumn tree is drawn in the same way as everyone else, starting from the trunk. Draw de parallel uneven lines at a wide distance from each other. From these lines we draw twisting branches.
To make the tree look more alive and voluminous, we draw small processes in different ways, we do not repeat ourselves. We draw some branches clearly, and some as a sketch.
Next, draw the bark. To do this, we apply a lot of chaotic lines and a few tubercles to imitate a real tree bark. In order for the tree to acquire color, we draw the lines of the bark in red-brown.
We paint over the rest of the areas with a lighter brown, follow the lines, they should be in the same direction. Add shadows.
At the last stage, we add foliage to the tree. On small branches we depict leaves of orange-red color.
How to draw a beautiful tree
Each tree is beautiful in its own way. But you must admit that a large tree with roots spread above the ground and a dense crown impresses a little more than an ordinary park maple. To draw such a tree, you will need a sheet of white paper, a simple pencil and an eraser.
We draw a trunk tapering upwards. At the bottom of the trunk lines we connect with an arc. Set the direction of the roots in four directions, and draw them like curved pipes that narrow towards the bottom.
We release two main branches from the tree trunk, draw a fold between them. We remove all unnecessary auxiliary lines with an eraser.
Circles indicate the places of the crown. Grow the foliage by filling in the main circles with smaller ones with a contour in the form of small scrawl. Add a shadow.
How to draw a rowan tree
Rowan is very beautiful in winter, against the backdrop of white snow. Try to draw a winter rowan with paints.
Paint over the background with a light gray color, let the paint dry. Start by sketching with a pencil. One mountain ash grows several trunks from the ground. They are thin and branched. With small ovals, mark the place of future clusters. Now you can get to the paint.
We outline the trunks and branches in dark brown. We take a rich red color and fill in the ovals with small strokes. You will get bunches of mountain ash. Since we are drawing a winter rowan, put a little snow in white on each bunch. Using the same white, draw snowdrifts at the base.
How to draw a maple tree
The maple leaf has a characteristic acute-angled shape. Maple itself is a tall branched tree.
We make a sketch of a maple, draw a trunk and a crown cap. Next, we complicate it a little by adding a few stripes inside. We divide the crown into parts, drawing branches and partially foliage. Next, we outline the crown in more detail.<<колючими>> lines.
Color the maple in shades of yellow, orange and brown. Don't forget to add chiaroscuro.
How to draw a sakura tree
It is not at all difficult to draw a beautiful Japanese cherry tree. We use a simple pencil.
- Draw a big oval. Beneath it is a curved tree trunk. From it we draw crooked branches, they should intertwine a little and curl above the ground.
- Add more branches. This will make the tree look thicker. Get started with flowers.
- Do not draw all the flowers clearly, turn some of them only into a hint.
- Draw the bark on the trunk.
- Erase all unnecessary lines with an eraser. Get started with paint.
- Decorate the trunk with a dark brown color. Bark lines in black. We paint over the flowers with all shades of pink.
Drawing on a theme is an obligatory part of the educational program, as it allows you to better study the main autumn signs, master the palette of autumn shades, and consolidate the ability to work with different artistic materials.
Autumn drawings for kindergarten can be made in a variety of techniques, using an unconventional approach, but taking into account the age characteristics of the children.
Finger drawing "Autumn tree"
For example, children 3-4 years old will be quite capable of depicting an autumn tree by applying droplets of rich colors to the main trunk with their fingers.
For such work, it will be necessary to prepare in advance a palette and templates for drawings of tree trunks with branches. We invite the kids to cover the tree with leaves, choosing the most autumn colors from the palette.
Children 4-5 years old can be offered more complex drawing techniques:
Drawing with a white wax candle
For work, we prepare thin paper, real autumn leaves (which we collect during the walk), a candle, a brush and paints.
We put a sheet with thick veins under a sheet of paper and draw a candle over it.
We cover the entire sheet with paint.
Where the candle has come into contact with the veins of the leaf, its contour will appear.
Draw vegetables and fruits:
Vegetables and fruits are another popular theme for drawing in the fall.
Drawing with wax crayons
Again we use the leaves that were collected during a walk in dry weather. They do not need to be dried because they will become brittle during the drying process. You will also need thin white paper and wax crayons.
We put a piece of paper under a sheet of paper and carefully paint with chalk all the space above it.
Where the chalk touches the veins, the clear contours of the leaf appear.
To make the drawings look more impressive, we fix them on a bright background - for example, sheets of colored cardboard.
Drawing in kindergarten (video):
Look at the video for beautiful and vibrant ways to draw on the theme of "autumn":
Autumn drawing with prints
Again we use freshly picked autumn leaves. We cover each of them with a layer of colors of the autumn palette and carefully turn it over onto a sheet of white paper. Carefully lift the sheet - a multi-colored print remains in its place.
From these drawings you can organize a real autumn exhibition.
Coloring the leaves
Children 5-6 years old can already cope with more jewelry work. We use well-dried ones, which must be handled carefully, as they easily break in the hands. We cover the leaves with different shades of paint.
It is better to use gouache or acrylic paint, watercolor often rolls off the surface of the sheet.
Having painted one side, dry it and paint the second.
In this case, the leaf itself is an autumn picture.
It turns out bright autumn leaves that can be used to create various decorative compositions.
From the painted leaves, you can make an original autumn pendant on a branch.
Coloring paper leaves
This work also requires concentration and perseverance, but less caution - paper sheets cannot be broken and are difficult to wrinkle.
We color each leaf on both sides.
We dry them and use them to decorate a group or a hall.
Autumn drawing with crayons
We cut out patterns of autumn leaves from thick paper in advance.
I put the template on the landscape sheet.
We carefully paint over the entire space around it with wax crayon, directing the strokes from the center to the periphery. We color the birch leaf.
Coloring the maple leaf.
We raise the sheet - only its contours remain, around which we see a real explosion of bright color.
Such non-standard drawing on the theme of autumn in kindergarten will help develop a child's interest in creativity and arouse in him the desire to create new interesting compositions and paintings.
Drawing and application "Autumn fly agaric"
With the help of real leaves we draw a colored background. We are waiting for it to dry. We cut out a fly agaric hat from red paper, and cut a leg from white paper. From the napkin we cut out the fringe on the leg of the fly agaric. We combine all the elements of the craft on a colored background and complement it with a dried maple leaf. It remains to color the fly agaric hat with white dots. Our autumn fly agaric is ready!
Drawing autumn with watercolors and crayons The contours of the leaves can be drawn by parents or educators - the children will have to paint them with watercolors. After the watercolor dries, outline the contours, veins and patterns with a black marker.
In this figure, the contours are also highlighted with a colored felt-tip pen.

- Introductory part.
Guys what time of year do you think? (Autumn).
Autumn lasts three months. Now it's September, then October will come, and then November. Let's call the autumn months with you. (September October November)
September is the first month of autumn. It's early autumn now. It is hot outside?(No.) Is the sun shining? (Yes.) Is the wind blowing? (Yes.) What color are the leaves on the trees?(Yellow, green, orange, etc.) How are people dressed? (Warmly.)
In early autumn it gets a little colder, but still warm. The sun shines brightly. The rains are coming. The leaves on the trees begin to change color. Vegetables and fruits are harvested in gardens and fields. Picking mushrooms in the forest. Migratory birds gather in flocks and prepare to fly south.
See what beautiful pictures we have on the board. Where do you think autumn came?(To the forest, to the city, to the garden.)Right, how did you guess?(Children's answers.) Look at the beautiful trees in autumn. Let's draw an autumn tree.
- Main part.
Where do you think we will start drawing a tree?(From the trunk.) That's right, first we will draw a trunk, whoever wants what, you can get a thick trunk like an oak tree and less. We take the brush, let's show how we hold the brush correctly.(Children show the teacher.)Well done, remember. What paint will we take for the trunk?(Brown.) That's right, we first dip the brush into the water, and then into the paint. Watercolor paint is hard, so it needs to be diluted with water first. Now we draw paint on the brush, and then draw the trunk. I draw a straight line from left to right. The tree has a straight, beautiful, even trunk - I draw a vertical line from top to bottom, I start drawing with the tip of the brush, and then with the whole brush. With the tip of the brush I draw 2 small twigs on the tops, which look up at the sun. The tree has thick branches, and they all grow upwards - towards the sun, I paint them with the whole brush on one and the other side of the trunk. And on thick branches there are thin ones, they also reach for the sun, I draw them with the tip of a brush on one side of the branch and on the other. Then we will draw the leaves, what color will they be?(red, yellow, green, orange.)That's right, we will have them in different colors, as in the picture. Wash the brush in water. We will draw the leaves by “sticking” the brush to a sheet of paper. I draw water on the brush and pick up yellow paint. I draw leaves on the branches of a tree quickly, applying and tearing off the brush from the paper. Like this. I painted the leaves in yellow, then I rinse the brush well with water and pick up red paint, as well as orange.
Finger gymnastics.
From my helpers
Turn them however you want.
On the white, smooth road
Fingers jump like horses.
Chok-chok-chok, chok-chok-chok,
A frisky herd jumps.
(Hands on the table, palms down. Alternately moving forward with the left, then with the right hand while simultaneously bending and unbending the fingers.)
- Final part.
Let's put our drawings on the board. Look, we have a whole forest. What beautiful trees we have. Look at Masha, Dima and Seryozha, they turned out very beautiful trees. They tried very hard, listened carefully, did everything as I told you. Very neat and the leaves are not all over the sheet of paper, but on the tree.
Let's find 2 similar drawings with you(children's answers) Yes, indeed, they are very similar. And now let's find a job with an error.(children's answers) Yes, I see a mistake here, probably Misha had more important things to do and he didn’t hear how to draw leaves correctly, but I hope that next time he will listen and draw the most beautiful drawing.
What could be more beautiful than nature? Juicy spring greenery, bizarre snow-covered branches, crimson autumn leaves... Nature attracts, probably, everyone, and many would like to try to depict at least a piece of nature on paper. However, not everyone can be artists and paint complex landscapes. Someone would really like to learn how to draw at least one tree, not to mention something more complex. It is for people who really want, but do not know how to draw, this lesson is intended. From the article you will learn how to draw an autumn tree in stages, getting great pleasure from the process and the result. This master class will help you not only draw a picture, but also teach you to see the right lines, build them, which means it will help you to depict a real landscape in the future.
How to draw an autumn tree
So, let's get down to our master class. Take a sheet of paper, a simple one and an eraser, and repeat step by step!
Step 1st. Draw the trunk
Let's start with the trunk. Don't know how to draw It's very easy! Draw two parallel lines at a fairly impressive distance (unless you are going to depict a birch). Draw lines to mark the root of the tree. Next, the trunk should go into wide branches. Look at the picture below, they look like snakes, draw the same ones on your sheet of paper.
Step 2. Detailing the branches
Now let's detail our branches. Add small, thin branches to make the tree look more natural and not look like a kid's drawing. If you do not know how to draw a tree branch correctly, look at the picture below. Remember the rule: branches should not be duplicated, turn on your imagination and do not draw mirror copies. In addition, to achieve a slight 3D effect, draw some branches more clearly, and some, on the contrary, only mark with hatching.
Step 3. bark effect
How to draw an autumn tree natural? Add subtle lines on the trunk and on the branches. They should not be perfectly even, on the contrary, the lines should create a bark effect. In some places, make "islands", as shown in the figure below.
Step 4 Adding Color
Now it's time to add color to your tree. With a deep brown-red color, draw the lines that you sketched in the previous step.
Step 5 Coloring
With a light brown pencil, paint over the rest of the tree. Make sure all your lines have the same direction!
Step 6 Let's make the image voluminous
Now let's start applying the shadows. Draw shadows along the outline of the tree with a medium brown pencil to make the image look more voluminous. If you have never dealt with shadows in a drawing, see how it is done in the picture below.
Step 7 Aging the tree
You can make your tree "older" if you like. To do this, take a dark brown pencil, paint over the red-brown areas and make the shadows deeper.
Step 8 Autumn
So we got to the last step in the story of how to draw an autumn tree. It remains to add small yellow leaves. Draw miniature leaves to thin branches and color them with yellow-orange and reddish pencils.
Now you know how wood is. We wish you success in your future endeavors!
From a very early age, first mothers, then kindergarten teachers, teachers in drawing lessons at school put love for nature into the soul of a child. One of the ways to appreciate the beauty around us is the fine arts.
Children are very fond of and wildlife is the best topic for this. Let's draw trees with a pencil and paints.
Master class for beginners: how to draw a beautiful tree with a pencil
How to draw a winter tree?
It is quite difficult for a person inexperienced in fine arts to show changes in nature, and especially winter. But if you are not too strict and critical in relation to the children's drawing, then you may be surprised to find that the kids are much easier about this. The smallest do well with white snowflakes from gouache dots that cover bare branches.
The older the baby becomes, the more difficult the technique of making a winter landscape. There is no need to strictly indicate exactly how to draw winter, developing the talent of the artist.
How to draw a tree in autumn?
With the autumn theme, things are much easier. Bright red-yellow shades elevate fantasy to an unprecedented level. And various drawing techniques allow you to get beautiful autumn landscapes.
Someone loves watercolor, someone likes working with gouache - mixing paints to get the right shade is a very exciting and exciting thing. You can even draw an autumn tree with a toothbrush, spraying different shades of paint alternately with a bristle onto a sheet of paper with an already drawn trunk.
