Spring ... Such a long-awaited and favorite season. Finally, she has arrived! Already everyone is tired of the cold, frost, wind. The snow falling from the sky is no longer pleasing. It lies in dull dirty spots in the shade under trees and buildings, waiting in the wings to melt. Occasionally the sun appears in the sky. It doesn’t warm much yet, but so - slightly ... But it makes us very happy with its appearance, gives us hope for the imminent arrival of warmer days. The wind is already blowing differently. It has a special freshness to it. I would like to open my face towards the wind and directly inhale this smell of novelty, fresh earth, greenery of blossoming leaves ... A wonderful holiday for all women is associated with the beginning of spring - International Women's Day on March 8th. We suggest you draw a picture on a spring theme in stages. Perhaps you will do well, and you will want to give it to your beloved women: mom, grandmother, sister. As always, we provide explanations from start to finish. And, we hope that you will not have any difficulties in this lesson.
Stage 1. First, let's designate the frames of the picture. Along the perimeter of the entire sheet, slightly stepping back from the edges, we will make a frame under the ruler. About half an inch from each edge. Then we show on paper one large curve lying at the bottom of the sheet. A little to the right of us are two more curves. They are small and short. These curved lines will indicate the land on which our spring landscape will be located.
Stage 2. We draw trees now. Lush waves show them in the left corner from us. We also add lines of paths and paths running away into the distance.
Stage 3. In the distance, under the trees, we build lines of houses. This can also be done with a ruler. We draw the facades of houses, then the roofs, we show the windows.
Stage 4. Near the houses, with special patterns, we will draw thick fir trees that stand in a row on the sides of the houses. We show flying clouds in the sky with wavy lines.
Stage 5. In the foreground, draw a large growing grass. Blades of grass grow in different directions. We draw them sharp. In the background, we will depict separately standing trees. Perhaps these are pyramidal poplars. We add a high lush compact crown to the trunk upwards. And it turns out such beautiful wonderful trees.
Stage 6. In the foreground in the grass we add beautiful flowers. They are of different varieties. Some are smaller, others are larger. Flowers grow in the distance too, so we add spots of flowers in the background along the paths.
Stage 7. In black and white, our image of a late spring landscape looks like this.
Stage 8. In order to cheer yourself up and those around you, you must certainly decorate our black and white picture. Add a lot of bright spots, flowers to it, bring spring mood into it, fill it with joyful meaning. You can arrange the drawing in a beautiful frame, then it will turn out to be a very presentable, actually hand-made gift.
Nature is the best artist. When you look at the spring landscape, you are surprised at the richness of its colors, the subtlety of color combinations and the huge variety of shades. Many have a desire to reflect what they saw on a snow-white sheet of paper.
The easiest option is to draw spring in stages.
For beginners, this is the best way to create a full-fledged spring landscape, not unlike the work of real masters. Even children can draw a drawing on the theme of "Spring" if they follow the consistent instructions of an adult.
First you will need to draw spring with a pencil. We make a simple sketch in the form of a lawn on which a couple of tall trees grow, a bush, and a forest is visible on the horizon. The picture is joined together by a narrow river that flows throughout the entire space of the paper sheet, from one corner to another. We leave most of the sheet free to show the bottomless spring sky.
Drawing "spring" with a pencil
Now we arm ourselves with a wide flat brush and moisten the entire sheet with clean water.
We cover the sky with a gentle shade of blue.
We paint the lawn in a pale green-brown color, the rivulet in dark blue.
To convey the play of river water, we darken some areas, lighten others. The places of blackout should coincide with the location of the trees - this is how we will reflect their shadow.
The forest on the horizon is painted dark green.
We make its contours vague, but in some places we darken them a lot. With a lighter shade of green, paint the shrub in the foreground.
We cover tree trunks with pale gray paint, thickening it from one side.
We draw the foreground of the forest in different shades of green.
We make the trees larger along the edges than in the center. We get a perspective effect.
We turn trees into birches by drawing black lentils on the trunks.
The branches are dark grey. At the foot of the trees we plant pale blue forest flowers. Gradually our landscape becomes recognizable.
We plant the same flowers on the other side of the river. And we turn the bush that was in the foreground into a bunch of snowdrops.
We help to bloom the leaves on the branches of trees.
And draw all the small details with a pencil.
Well, we learned how to draw!
Drawing on the theme "Spring"
For children, the process of creating such a landscape will be interesting because one task is replaced by another task here, the work does not look monotonous and boring. And adults will certainly be interested in the achieved result - such a picture can be safely hung on the wall, it will decorate any home.
By changing the details and shades of flowers, you can change the pattern, revealing different looks of spring.

Drawing is one of the few ways available for a small child to express themselves and demonstrate their inner world to others. In the process of creating an image on paper, the baby learns to concentrate, focus and accurately draw thin lines, which, of course, has a beneficial effect on the development of his intellect, as well as spatial-figurative and abstract thinking.
In addition, it is in the drawings that little boys and girls express their attitudes, emotions and associations that this or that phenomenon causes in them. It is often much easier for children to reflect their thoughts on paper than to formulate and convey them in words.
It is for these reasons that children are encouraged to engage in fine arts in all schools and kindergartens. In these institutions, exhibitions and competitions of works by pupils and students dedicated to a specific topic are often held. In particular, the seasons are a favorite subject for creating handmade masterpieces.
With the advent of each of them, boys and girls are very often given the task of drawing how the child sees the changes taking place in nature. This can be done in various ways. In this article, we will tell you what children's drawings on the theme of "Spring" can be with paints and pencils, and what associations this time of year most often evokes in children and adults.
Children's drawings about spring with a pencil and paints
Of course, in such drawings, children are trying to reflect what they see on the street during a walk. Most often, the arrival of spring is associated in children with the appearance of a bright sun in the sky, the melting of snow and ice, the appearance of the first green leaves and grass, the return of migratory birds to their native places, and so on.
As a rule, children's drawings on the theme "Early spring has come" are a landscape that clearly shows the transition from a cold snowy winter to a warmer season. At the same time, a bright sun is shining in the sky, the first snowdrops are breaking out from under the snow, and a fast river, which is no longer bound by a thick layer of ice, carries away the remaining small ice floes with it.
In addition, the arrival of spring may be associated in children with the Maslenitsa holiday, since on the last day of the Maslenitsa week, adults and children see off the cold winter and meet the next season. Although this holiday is most often celebrated in February, it is inextricably linked with the onset of spring and can be used as the main idea for a children's drawing.
At the beginning of spring, International Women's Day is also celebrated - March 8th. On this day, it is customary to give women beautiful flowers and gifts, so a child can create a beautiful one with his own hands and hand it over or You can draw it with pencils, paints or any other tools immediately on a sheet of cardboard or on paper, which should subsequently be pasted onto a cardboard base postcards.
In general, the "flower" theme is the main idea of all such drawings. It is in spring that nature begins to play with new colors, and all plants come to life. The vast majority of flowers bloom and bring great joy to adults and children.
A drawing about spring in kindergarten can be an image of a single flower, bouquet or composition, as well as any plot situation associated with the onset of this time of year. So, a child can portray himself while walking with his mother and describe everything that happens at this time with nature.

Hello dear guests! Today I want to introduce you to the world of Slavic fairy tales, whether it's true or not, it's up to you, only the old people said so...
She lived in the same village Masha. She sat under the window with a birch spindle, spun white lenok and said:
- When Spring comes, when the tallitsa hits and the snow rolls down from the mountains, and water spills over the meadows, then I will bake, in the Russian mother oven,
waders and larks.
And with my girlfriends I will go to meet Spring, to visit the village to call and call.
Masha is waiting for a warm, kind spring, but that one cannot be seen, not heard. Winter does not go away, everything is forged by Frosts; she bored everyone, cold, icy, her hands and feet shivered, she let in a cold-chill. What to do here? Trouble!
Masha decided to go look for Spring. Packed up and left. She came to the field, sat on a hillock and called the Sun:
Sunshine, Sunshine
red bucket,
Look over the mountain
Look out until springtime!
The sun came out from behind the mountain, Masha asked:
- Have you seen, Sunny, red Spring, have you met your sister?
- I did not meet Spring, but I saw the old Winter. I saw how she, fierce, left Spring, ran away from the red one, carried cold in a bag, the cold shook the ground. She stumbled and rolled downhill. Yes, she has settled down in your area, she does not want to leave. And Spring doesn't know about that. Come, red maiden, follow me, when you see a forest in front of you, all green, - look for Spring there. Invite her to your area.
Masha went to look for Spring. Where the sun rolls across the blue sky, there it goes. She walked for a long time. Suddenly a forest appeared before her - all green. Masha walked and walked through the forest, completely lost. Forest mosquitoes bit her shoulders, knots-hooks pushed through her sides, nightingale ears sang, raindrops moistened her head.
As soon as Masha sat down on a stump to rest, as she sees - a white swan flies, noticing, silver wings from below, gilded on top. It flies and spreads fluff and feathers on the ground for any potion. That swan was - Spring.
Spring releases silk grass across the meadows, spreads pearl dew, merges small streams into fast rivers.
Here Masha Vesna began to call, call, tell:
- Oh, Spring-Spring, kind mother! You go to our lands, drive away the fierce Winter. Old Winter does not go away, Frost forges everything, cold-cold lets in.
Heard Vesna Mashin's voice. I took the golden keys and went to close the fierce winter.
But Winter does not go away, Frost forges and sends them ahead of Spring to put together barriers, to cover snowdrifts. And Spring flies, where it waves its silver wing - there it will sweep away the barrier, it will wave another - and the snowdrifts melt.
Frosts are fleeing from Spring. Winter got angry, sends Snowstorm and Blizzard to whip Spring's eyes. And Spring waved its golden wing, and then the Sun peeked out, warmed. A blizzard with a blizzard from the heat and the light of water powder came out. Old Winter got exhausted, ran far, far behind the high mountains, hid in ice holes. There, Spring locked her with a key.
So Spring overcame Winter!
Slavic fairy tales are simplified Vedas (know, know). This is centuries-old knowledge and the history of the family, which was preserved and multiplied, passed on from old to young, from generation to generation. And this fairy tale has its roots and a real character for the Slavs, Lelya, the goddess of spring, the daughter of the goddess Lada. According to myths, it was inextricably linked with the spring revival of nature, the beginning of field work.
On March 30, when nature wakes up after hibernation, according to the folk calendar, Ladodenie is celebrated and is dedicated to the goddess Lada. Lada is the goddess of love, the patroness of marriages, the hearth, the goddess of youth, beauty, fertility. Fair-haired, feminine, in white clothes, she will help the young in love, and save the hearth in old families, touch the hearts of the unreasonable with warmth, and again the harmony in the family. Lada is one of the most respected goddesses by the Slavs - Lada was considered the female hypostasis of the Family, who was the initiator and parent of the world. People turned to Lada for help in search of love and for the blessing of marriage, asked her for fertility for their land and for easier childbirth for their women. In the old days, their beloved husbands were called "Lado", and the husbands of their wives were called "Lado".
Centuries are not a barrier for us,
And I want to again
Forgotten word "Lada"
All loved ones were called!
There is also a special girl's holiday - Lyalnik (April 22), in honor of the daughter of Lada, the goddess of spring and youth. Also, this holiday was called the Red Hill, because the hill, located near the village, became the scene of action. A small wooden or turf bench was installed there. The most beautiful girl was put on it, who played the role of Lyalya (Lely). To the right and left of the girl on the hill, offerings were placed on a bench. On one side was a loaf of bread, and on the other side was a jug of milk, cheese, butter, an egg and sour cream. Woven wreaths were laid out around the bench. The girls danced around the bench and sang ritual songs in which they praised the deity as a nurse and giver of the future harvest. In the course of dancing and singing, the girl sitting on the bench put wreaths on her friends. Sometimes, after the holiday, a fire (olelia) was lit on the hill, around which they also danced and sang songs.
Spring is perhaps the most favorite time of the year for many, it gives a feeling of joy, upcoming changes, especially a joyful and spring mood. The spring sun floods everything with its warmth and light, as if shouting that a long and cold winter has passed, a new amazing and joyful time has come.
Nature rejoices and sings, pleases us with the riot and tenderness of colors, charming and relaxed colors and shades, awakened from the winter sleep of Mother Earth.
The delicate colors of flowering trees, the yellow-green shade of the barely broken grass, the multicolored spring flowers, the clear blue of the clear sky perfectly emphasize the spring charm of nature.
A little more and lilacs will enchant us with their colors and aromas.
All this variety of colors and shades is called the palette of spring flowers. In our case, this is the selection of a certain range of colors and their shades to convey in the painting of the spring season.
The spring palette is often associated with freshness and airiness, and this is conveyed in painting with the help of pastel colors. These are such soft shades as lilac, light blue, pale yellow, peach, mint, pale pink ... They are obtained by diluting any pure tone with white. The range of these shades is very wide: from almost transparent to saturated.
All 12 colors of the color scheme, without exception, are considered pastels, to which white is added, and they can be both warm and cold. Often artists use such a term for them as "bleached color". For example, soft gray is bleached (pastel) black.
Our world sparkles with bright colors,
Like an artist, painting us a day,
Decorates life with a magic brush,
He applies a slightly gray shadow.
Blue skies and blue distances
Blue sea, blue lakes,
Russian heart forever sunk
Blue shades and colors of the word.
Red sun, red banner,
Viburnum purple and scarlet East,
Red maidens, bright flame
A green sprout was pierced to the heart.
How much green, forest and edges,
Groves, fields full of emeralds,
We are going to listen to the cuckoo fortune-telling
With the first coming of green spring.
Yellow buttercups in gentle May,
Bright spring field bouquet,
Delight with colors caressing the soul,
Yellow leaves in autumn.
The white color pleases us with purity,
White expanses of Russian snow,
The color is only black - it threatens us with trouble,
In black, we rarely paint words.
(Colors of life. March 26, 2012 - Valentina Solovyova)
I invite you, my friends, to a master class on creating a spring mood, welcome to our creative workshop!
Materials and tools:
-A3 sheet of paper
-gouache
-brushes (two No. 10 and No. 3 are enough)
-cloth for brushes
- palette (I use a plastic board for modeling)
- glass for water
Master class progress:
Today, our work is very simple, you just need to be careful and repeat after me. Let's start with the background of our landscape, the sheet is placed vertically. With a large brush with yellow color, we will tint the entire sheet. Our movements will be fast, going in one horizontal direction, so we need to make sure that there is enough moisture and paint on the brush. The movements should be light and with each new movement of the brush a certain part of the sheet should be painted, if necessary, you can return to the already painted places to even out the color.
With proper moisture control on the brush, gouache dries very quickly. And therefore, immediately after staining the sheet in yellow, we start working with white. With a large brush we apply horizontal strokes in the lower and upper parts of the work, but the yellow color is not completely blocked ("draw" with a brush).
Next, on the same brush, we pick up a little black and make large horizontal strokes at the bottom of the work.
Colors are mixed in the process of work and we get different shades of gray.
A very important rule is to always wash your brush before picking up another color. Now we also pick up a little blue on the brush and apply strokes to the top of the work.
Between the blue tones of the sky we introduce purple (or lilac, pink) colors.
Between the gray strokes, add strokes of emerald tones (cold green).
All further work will be done with brush number 3. Working with the palette, we need a more saturated gray color than the one we used for the background of the landscape. To do this, first apply white paint to the palette, and then add black to it. We mix the colors until a homogeneous mass of the shade of gray we need. With the resulting color, draw the trunk of the Christmas tree. To make the line of the trunk even, we start drawing from the top. We apply the brush to the drawing and, without lifting it from the sheet, pull it towards us (roll the brush over the leaf).
Now the branches, you need to remember that the Christmas tree has a triangular shape, that each branch tends to the ground under the weight of small branches and needles, the branches are short at the top, and become longer towards the bottom (usually I myself depict a Christmas tree showing with my hands the direction of the branches-spruce legs).
So, with thin strokes we draw the lines of future branches.
Draw small branches and needles with vertical strokes, apply the brush to the guide lines of the branches. Then, in the foreground of the work, we will draw last year's gray blades of grass.
We continue to work on the Christmas tree, in green we draw branches between the gray ones.
We mix green with white on the palette and paint additional branches and needles on our forest beauty. Christmas trees, like other trees, renew their outfit in the spring, with young light green needles.
In the foreground of the work we have grass of different green shades. The grass is not soldiers standing in a row, it is alive, swaying under the breath of the spring breeze, looking one way, then the other.
And again we work with the palette. We will draw a tree, for its trunk we mix brown and white colors. We also draw the trunk from the top, and in the lower part we draw an additional second line next to the first one - we thicken the trunk to the bottom. The lines at the bottom of the trunk are slightly bent - we depict the roots.
We draw branches that will be a "mirror reflection of the branches of the Christmas tree", and stretch not to the ground, but to the sun (an example of the image of a tree can be shown on yourself by depicting branches stretching at the top with your hands). Next, work with a "not whitened" brown color, circle the silhouette of a tree and branches on one side.
When it got warmer outside the window, the snow began to melt, and inspiration appeared, it's time to take paints with the child and draw spring.
Spring, which everyone looks forward to after a frosty and snowy winter, brings not only changes in nature, but also changes in the mood of a person. It becomes upbeat, joyful, you want to be renewed, like nature, you want to create and create. And then the kids were given the task to draw an early spring, so you can combine your creative impulses with its implementation.
How to draw early spring with children in stages with paints for beginners?
Simple, feasible for children several options are offered.
Early spring is swelling buds on trees and bushes, which are getting larger every day and are ready to turn into young leaves or flowers. Therefore, you can first draw a branch using a wider brush for this, and then draw small shoots and leaves on the branches with a thinner brush.
To make the drawing bright and life-affirming, the sheet on which the branch is drawn can be pre-painted, for example, in blue.
Children's drawing of spring with paints: steps 5-7. 
Children's drawing of spring with paints. Early spring is the first flowers.
We draw a snowdrop, a tulip, any other flower with petals around the core. In children, such uncomplicated drawings will turn out well. Above the flowers, children will be happy to draw a cheerful bright sun. Those who are older can add an insect to the drawing, which will enliven the image.
Spring flowers in stages: tulip. 
Spring flowers in stages: snowdrop. 
Spring flowers in stages: narcissus. You can also suggest drawing a landscape, such as hills that are gradually but steadily falling snow. Therefore, in some places it will be necessary to leave the white color in the picture, and somewhere already paint over the hill with a dark brown color. Again, let the bright yellow sun shine over the hills and ravines, bringing the long-awaited warmth closer.
Spring landscape. An interesting option is to create a drawing in a non-traditional form just with paints and brushes, but, for example, by dipping a small diameter of the bottom of a plastic bottle into paint. So, a branch is preliminarily drawn. Then the bottom, which has bulges, is imprinted on it, as it were, a very elegant and beautiful drawing is obtained, and it is interesting for the child to use different methods of creating it.
VIDEO: Draw SPRING
How to draw spring in the forest in stages with paints?
- Spring should be painted with bright colors - blue, yellow, brown.
- The composition of the drawing is determined, for example, a forest standing in the distance and a field in front of it.
- The horizon line is marked, and it does not need to be in the middle of the sheet.
- The contours of the forest are outlined against the sky, the shades for the trees are selected. Trees can be painted in a circular motion with a brush. We remember the rule: the farther the object, the more vague its image should be, and vice versa.
- The sky is painted with diluted blue paint.
- I detail the trees with the help of thicker and brown paint. By mixing blue and bright yellow, you can get a delicate green tint of young foliage.
- Now we draw melting snow, we make clearings in the forest with the help of brown paint.
How to draw spring with gouache quickly?
- Take a sheet of paper and gouache paint. Mix white and blue colors, paint over about a quarter of the sheet with the resulting one. It will be the spring sky.
- Mix white, blue and red paints to get a lilac-purple hue, and in a circular motion in the upper part of the picture we make the outlines of the forest in the distance.
- Apply some white or blue paint on top to get volume.
- In the foreground, blue and white paint can depict a melting shapeless snowdrift.
- Add yellow paint to the center of the picture, separating it from the image of the forest and from the snowdrift with white stripes.
- Detail the image of the forest by painting the trunks and twigs of the trees in the forest with a more saturated blue color. On top of the yellow background in the center, add green young sprouts.
- When you're done with the background, wait until the drawing is completely dry.
Next, you can draw birch trees, they are just getting ready to wake up in early spring after winter. First draw their outlines. - Cast shadows on the white contours of the birches with blue paint.
- Then add texture to the birch bark by mixing black and white paint.
- Draw twigs on the birches, put black paint on the trunks to finish the bark.
- Finish the drawing by adding brown and white paint to the ground to show that somewhere the snow has already melted, and somewhere else it has been preserved in a shapeless form.
