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.

- 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.

Master class on non-traditional drawing techniques "Autumn trees"
For work you will need: sheets of thick drawing paper, gouache paints, squirrel brushes, bristle, brown wax crayons, cotton pads, clothespins, 1/4, 1/2 sheet office paper, jars of water, cocktail tubes.
At the first stage it is necessary to tint sheets of paper for the background of the picture. This can be done in several ways.
1. Wet a sheet of paper completely in water and put it on a newspaper. Then, on paper with a squirrel brush, apply strokes (sky, earth, grass) with watercolors or gouache paints of the desired color. In this case, the paint will spread all over the sheet. Let dry and preferably put the sheet under the press.
2. Soak two sheets of paper in water and place them on the newspaper. On one sheet with paints of the desired color, apply thick strokes (sky, earth, grass) and immediately cover with a second sheet. Smooth it out with your palms, and then remove the top sheet of paper. You will get two identical prints. Let dry and press.
3. The background can be made And simply by toning a sheet of paper with colored pencils.
At the second stage draw a tree trunk. The trunk can be drawn in the same way in different ways.
1. In the technique of blotography - blowing through a tube. To do this, we put a large drop (blot) at the bottom of a sheet of paper - where the tree trunk will begin. And with the help of a cocktail tube, blow it up and to the sides until the desired result is obtained.
2. Draw a tree trunk with wax crayons
At the third stage- draw foliage. Tree foliage can be drawn in the following ways:
1. Using crumpled paper. Crumple a small piece of paper well into a ball and dipping one side of it in gouache (diluted to the thickness of sour cream) first of the same color - make prints - tree foliage. Then we take paint of a different color.
2. Using a cotton pad and clothespins. Fold the cotton pad several times, grab a sharp corner with a clothespin, pick up the paint of the desired color and make prints on the sheet depicting foliage.
3. Using a stiff, semi-dry bristle brush using the “poke” (stuffing) technique. We apply strokes of the desired color with vertical movements of the hand with a brush (up and down) on paper depicting foliage on a tree and on the ground.
4. By the way of the side smear. Pick up the paint of the desired color on the brush and depict the leaves in the way of priming.
5. Using a poke tube or fingers.

Synopsis of an open lesson on drawing in non-traditional techniques in the preparatory group "The Kingdom of the Mistress of Winter" SP MBOU "Secondary School No. 2 of Kalininsk, Saratov Region" Kindergarten "Pochemuchka" SUMMARY OF AN OPEN LESSON ON DRAWING IN THE PREPARATION ROOM.
Autumn is a beautiful time when the leaves of the trees are painted in bright colors. Today we made some autumn trees with the guys. For the first.
(for decorating a group or a hall) I would like to bring to your attention the master class “Autumn Trees” from improvised material. In progress.
Program content: Improve children's knowledge of seasonal changes in nature associated with the winter period. Practice selection.
Even small children can draw a tree using the “poke” method. The master class is conducted by Vera Parfentyeva, a reader of the "Native Path", a technology teacher, the head of an art circle for preschool children, a participant in our Internet Workshop of educational games "Through the game - to success!".
To draw a tree using the poke method, you need:
- gouache paints,
- brushes No. 2, No. 4,
- white paper for watercolor A 4.
We will draw this tree immediately with paints without first drawing the outline. The crown of the tree will consist of 3 tiers of different sizes. We will draw it as follows.
Step-by-step description of drawing a tree
Step 1:
In the center of the upper part of the sheet of paper, with brush No. 4, with yellow paint, we dottedly draw the upper tier of the tree crown in the form of a cloud. The brush must be held vertically. It is necessary to draw with the tip of the brush, making “pokes”. Then, inside the contour, use the “poke” method to paint over this tier.
Step 2: Departing from the first tier down approximately 1 - 1.5 centimeters, as in the first paragraph, we point out the second tier of the crown slightly larger than the first. I'm talking roughly, because the size of each tier will be completely different for everyone. Therefore, each small artist will orient himself in size relative to the sheet. The contour should not be perfectly even and symmetrical at the edges relative to the center.
Step 3: Similar to the previous points inside the contour, using the “poke” method, paint over the second tier and draw the third tier. Let's fill it inside the contour. Make sure that the brush is always directed vertically.
Step 4: Apply dotted orange paint to all three tiers of the autumn tree. We apply orange paint mostly on the left side at the bottom of the crown, creating darker spots, because. conditionally choose the lighting on the right. Therefore, the right side should be lighter than the left.
Step 5: Using the “poke” method, draw grass under the tree first with yellow paint, then orange.
Step 6: To the source number 2 with brown paint, draw a trunk between the tiers. Moreover, it is better to draw it from the bottom up, since the tree grows, gradually narrowing the trunk to the upper small tier. It is advisable to take paint in two shades: dark and lighter. Then the texture of the bark will stand out on the trunk. Let's draw the branches.
Step 7: Since we conditionally assumed that the light falls on the tree from the right, then with yellow paint we will add thin lines along the trunk on the right side.
I want to add that children of different ages coped with the task. Some have completed the drawing of the autumn tree completely on their own. For others, I helped first with a pencil to paint on the outline and trunk.
Examples of children's drawings of an autumn tree
How to draw a tree: creative tasks for children
What two groups are tree species divided into? (deciduous and coniferous)
- Name the species of deciduous trees (Sorbus, aspen, poplar, linden, elm, autumn, maple, birch and others).
What tree did you draw? Think about whether it is possible to depict coniferous trees in this technique?
- Try to draw a pine tree in this technique? How can I do that? ().
- Consider the shape of the tree. Are the crown and trunk the same size at the top and bottom? What is the difference? How can you get such a result when drawing a tree?
Why is autumn called golden?
- Read to children or learn poems about autumn:
If in the trees
the leaves turned yellow
If in a distant land
the birds have flown
If the sky is gloomy
if it's raining,
It's the time of year
called autumn. (M. Khodyakova "Autumn")
Following the summer
Autumn is coming.
yellow songs
The wind sings to her
Red under your feet
spreading leaves,
white snowflake
Flying into the blue. (V. Stepanov "Autumn is coming")
An autumn tree can be drawn not only using the poke method, but also using other techniques. How to do this is in the step-by-step master classes below.

Autumn is already in earnest, and every day the trees are getting yellower and more transparent. I want to catch this elusive beauty before the leaves fly around! Rather, paint autumn with watercolors! But how to draw an autumn tree if you are not an artist? Very simple and similar! I share a delightful technique: draw a golden birch ... with splashes!
The splatter technique has been our favorite for a long time, ever since we painted the starry sky with it a couple of years ago. Because it’s beloved, because it’s not difficult even for a very young artist to draw Cosmos, fireworks, sea pebbles on the shore or a tree with splashes!
We need:
- paper for drawing;
- watercolor paints;
- thin and wide brushes;
- water.
Option for the smallest artists:
- paper;
- Finger paint.
You draw the silhouette of a tree, and let the kid put round prints with his finger - leaves.
How to paint an autumn tree with splashes:
Mom or dad: draw a silhouette of a tree with a thin brush. Draw the tree you like. Apricot, chestnut, linden. I like birch.
Then we show the child how to paint with splashes. In this case, some caution is needed, otherwise the "autumn leaves" may appear not only in the picture, but also around.
Therefore, cover the table under the drawing with a sheet of newspaper. Then we collect more water on the brush and dip the wet brush into the paint. The main thing in painting with splashes, and indeed with watercolors, is that there is more water than paint. That's why they are watercolors - water paints.
And now we gently hit the finger with a brush, holding it over the desired place in the drawing - so that splashes of paint fly onto the paper. Mastered the technique? Now -
Kids: paint spray-leaves on the branches of an autumn tree, under a tree and in the air around it! Golden, sunny yellow, orange, red, light green!
You can add rain with blue splashes!
Allow the pattern to dry before placing it vertically, otherwise the splatter may bleed. Although then it will turn out even more original: the colors will mix, forming beautiful overflows.
Now you know how to paint an autumn tree with splashes! By the way, you can draw a spring tree in the same way - sprinkle with light green paint, you get a spring haze that envelops the trees when the first leaves are just about to appear. And a tree in winter can be depicted - take white gouache and sprinkle frost and snow on the branches of a tree on blue cardboard. We paint autumn, and the sea, and fireworks with watercolors - try it, you will like it!
