Now we will have a lesson in drawing an autumn landscape in pencil in stages. Autumn is the most inspiring time of the year for writers, photographers, and artists. The abundance of colors gives artists the opportunity to convey their feelings in a huge number of shades. However, a simple pencil can convey the autumn mood. The first thing that came to my mind on the theme of Autumn is sadness, rain, a bench, an umbrella, leaves.
Step 1. We start drawing from the bench. Since it is located slightly at an angle to us, we draw lines of perspective. On the bench we mark the location of the umbrella. It is not necessary to try to draw the oval too even, as these lines will be removed later.
Step 2. Add knitting needles and a cane to the umbrella. We modify the bench a little and draw the legs.
Step 3. "Pull" the fabric on the knitting needles.
Step 4. We draw a background - a lantern, trees. On the asphalt we add a reflection in the puddles. You can add leaves on the ground or on a bench.
Step 5. Apply shadows and midtones. Objects in the foreground should be more contrast than the background.
Step 6. With cross strokes on the pavement and straight strokes in the air, draw rain with a pencil or a sharp eraser.
I hope now you have some idea of what you can draw on the theme of Autumn without resorting to bright colors.
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).

Part 1
We have divided the article into two parts. In the first part, we will teach you how to draw autumn trees in different ways. In the second part of the article, we will tell you how to draw autumn leaves.
1. Autumn drawings. Draw autumn trees
The easiest way to draw a tree is by blowing it out of a straw. To do this, draw a trunk and several branches with black or brown paint, trying to leave as much paint on paper as possible. And now the fun begins! Take a straw and blow branches through it. You will get a beautiful tree, which at the same time looks very natural!
To make it autumn you can:
Draw a tree on a pre-prepared colored background, made in autumn colors
Draw autumn leaves with a cotton swab or fingers
Punch confetti with a hole punch and pour them onto the areas of the drawing, which must first be smeared with glue.
Make an application from dry leaves
Using an ordinary flower spray gun, spray paint mixed with a little water. If you do not have a spray bottle, then an old toothbrush or a hard brush will replace it.
2. Draw autumn. Drawings on the theme of autumn
You can also try to draw trees that are not of the shape we are used to, but some unusual, intricate, fabulous ones. For example, such.
Thus, you can draw a whole autumn forest.
3. Autumn forest. Draw an autumn forest
Many of you are probably familiar with the technique of creating leaf prints on paper. To print a sheet, you can use absolutely any paint, you just get slightly different prints. Apply paint to the veined side. You can paint the sheet with paint of the same color, or in different colors.
By printing the leaves on paper, you can make postcards or something else interesting. But if you print a large sheet, then a real tree will turn out of it!
By the same principle, you can make a whole autumn forest.
4. Autumn. Application on the theme of autumn
Well, those who do not like to draw can make an application of autumn leaves "Autumn Forest".
Part 2
What is the most remarkable in autumn? Of course, autumn leaves! In autumn, the leaves are not green, as in summer, but bright, multi-colored. Leaves on trees, bushes, fallen and lying on the roads, on the paths, on the grass... Yellow, red, orange... At this time of the year, even if you are not a photographer or an artist, you just want to pick up a camera or a brush with paints to capture this wonderful time of the year in all its glory. We will help you with this. In the second part of the article "Autumn for kids: how to draw autumn" we will teach you how to draw autumn leaves in different ways.
Method 1.
Under a sheet of plain paper for printers, place the sheet with the veins up, then shade it with wax crayon, located flat. You will see how a leaf pattern with all the smallest veins appears on paper.
To add some magic, you just need to take a white crayon and run it over white paper, and then let the child paint over the sheet with paint using a sponge. See link>>>>
By the way, there is an interesting way of coloring with colored corrugated paper. You must first draw the leaves on paper in the same way with white wax crayon. After that, tear the corrugated paper of autumn colors (red, yellow, orange, brown) into small pieces and, wetting each piece well in water, stick them on the drawing. Make sure that there are no two pieces of paper of the same color next to each other. Let the paper dry a little (but not completely!), Then remove it from the drawing. You will get a wonderful multi-colored background. Leave the work to dry completely, then put it under the press.
Method 2.
An interesting autumn craft will turn out if you put a leaf under a thin foil. In this case, the foil should be placed with the shiny side up. After that, you need to gently smooth the foil with your fingertips so that the pattern shows through. Next, you need to cover it with a layer of black paint (it can be gouache, ink, tempera). When the paint is dry, rub the painting very gently with a steel dishcloth. At the same time, the protruding veins of the leaf will shine, and dark paint will remain in the recesses. Now you can stick the resulting relief on a sheet of colored cardboard.
Method 3.
A very simple and at the same time effective technique is to print leaves on paper, on which paint is previously applied. Any paint can be used, only it must be applied to the side of the leaves where the veins appear.
Here are the imprints of rowan leaves. And any kid can draw rowan berries - they are made with a cotton swab with red paint.
A beautiful autumn drawing will turn out if you print the leaves with white paint on a sheet of dark-colored cardboard. When the paint dries, it is necessary to color the leaves with colored pencils. It will turn out beautifully if some leaves are left white.
The background can be left as is, or made colored by painting with paints with a sponge. In this case, it is necessary to leave a small unpainted space around the leaves.
If you decide to make the background colored, then the leaves themselves can be left white.
Method 4.
To give volume to your drawings, you can use the following interesting technique. You will need thin wrapping paper or white crepe paper.
1. Tear it into pieces of irregular shape and stick it on a thick sheet of paper with PVA glue. Try to get more "folds", "wrinkles" at the same time, they will subsequently give the picture texture, volume.
2. When the glue dries, using a stencil, draw and cut out three maple leaves (large, medium and small) from this paper.
3. Paint them with colors in autumn colors, then stick them on a sheet of black cardboard.
For more detailed instructions with photos, see the link>>>>
Method 5.
Method 6.
Another original autumn drawing, made in warm and cold colors. The leaves themselves are drawn in warm colors (yellow, red, orange), the background - in cold colors (green, blue, purple). You will need a compass to do this job.
1. Draw several leaves of different shapes on paper.
2. Now, using a compass, draw a circle with a small radius in the lower left corner of the sheet of paper. Next, adding about 1 cm, draw circles of larger and larger radius, as far as the compass will allow.
3. Now do the same in the upper right corner.
4. Finally, color the autumn leaves with felt-tip pens or pencils in warm colors (the colors should alternate sequentially), and the background in cold colors.
Method 7.
Help your child draw a maple leaf on a piece of paper. Divide it with veins into sectors. Let the child color each sector of the leaflet with some special pattern.
You can combine two methods.
And this leaf is made in the technique of scratching. Read more about this technique here>>>>
Method 8.
Another unusual autumn drawing.
1. Draw leaves of various shapes on paper. They should occupy the entire sheet of paper, but not touch each other. Part of the leaves should start from the borders of the sheet of paper. Draw only the contours of the leaves, without veins.
2. Now, using a simple pencil and a ruler, draw two lines from left to right and two from top to bottom. The lines should cross the leaves, dividing them into sectors.
3. Choose two colors for the background and two colors for the leaves. Color them in the chosen colors in the same way as in the picture.
4. When the paint dries, trace the outlines of the leaves and the drawn lines with a gold marker.
Method 9.
To make this autumn you will need a regular newspaper and paints (including white paint).
1. Draw a maple leaf on a piece of newspaper.
2. Color it with paint and after the paint is dry, cut it out.
3. Take another sheet of newspaper and draw and paint over a large square on it with white paint.
4. Lay your sheet over the paint and wait for it to dry completely.
5. This is what you should end up with!
Method 10.
Beautiful autumn leaves are obtained from the so-called. "marble paper". How to make it, read the link>>>>
Method 11.
In the article "DIY linen postcards" we talked about an interesting drawing technique using wax crayons. See link>>>>
In this way, you can draw autumn leaves.
And here, in a similar way, autumn leaves are painted with paints.
Finishing our overview article on the topic "How to draw autumn leaves", we will tell you about two more ways.
Method 12.
Lay out the leaves on paper, then use an old toothbrush or flower sprayer to spray the paint. In order not to stain everything around, you can do the above procedure in the bath.
Method 13.
And finally - stamps of leaves with a roll of toilet paper. In this way, it is very cool to make gift wrapping with children.

3. In the foreground, draw a large tree with a small amount of foliage.
4. Draw a square on the right side of the lower side. Let's draw a line in the middle. Let's make a frame in the form of simple lines on our picture. You can make some elements from the picture go beyond the drawn frame.
5. Now draw the sheet and add veins to it from the middle.
6. Draw the general shape of the autumn leaf around the auxiliary lines.
7. We remove the square around the finished autumn leaf with an eraser.
8. Then let's move on to applying color. First of all, take a yellow pencil and apply it to the tree that is in the foreground, and the autumn forest in the background.
9. We will decorate the foliage of the tree and the forest with an orange pencil, since we have a golden autumn. In some places we will enhance the color. The trunk of the tree will be with a brown tint.
10. We will decorate the sky and the lake with a blue pencil. For the depth of color and brightness of the picture, add strokes with a blue pencil.
11. Decorate the shore in the foreground with yellow and brown pencils.
12. Let's move on to the autumn leaf, which is located in the lower right corner. To decorate it, take a yellow, orange and brown pencil.
