How to draw a mountain ash - a popular request - 110 people a month ask this question to Yandex.
At the same time, people are interested in: how to draw a mountain ash, how to draw a mountain ash in stages, how to draw a mountain ash with a pencil, how to draw a branch of a mountain ash, drawing a mountain ash ... and much more.
Therefore, I will try to write in more detail.
Moreover, we will soon go through the topics, and we will stick together. So, to be honest, you need to carefully study the mountain ash, not rely on "in the imagination."
I draw like this: I put a branch in front of me and try to convey the similarity. That is, the goal is to draw from nature, it seems. To convey the mood or introduce some subtext ... this is later, when we will draw the compositions. And now the purely educational work is to correctly enter into the format, observe the proportions and shape, and convey the color. And this is very serious work.
How to draw a mountain ash step by step
I start with pencil markings. I designate the direction of the branches, the size of the leaves and the size of the bunch. This is a quick, but the most crucial step. Next are the details.
I draw a leaf (unpaired-pinnate) and berries - collected in a shield. There is no need to go into too much detail. This is what I know from experience: when drawing a mountain ash, children try to depict the serrated edge of the leaves more jagged, in general, like a saw, they draw all the veins ... And now, chasing these details a hundred times, they manage to break the proportions and everything in general. Learn to see the whole nature, the details are good only in place, and not by themselves.
Now - color. I will paint with felt-tip pens. I recently bought another set and will test it.
The set is Chinese, for which I appreciate it - the colors are generally horrible! There are already three different shades of gray-green in it !!! Not only spectral colors that cut the eye, but some transitional ones, even swampy-withered ones.
In general, I paint the leaves first (I had to whiten them with a white gel pen).
Now it's time to take on the berries:
Well, here in several layers - from pale orange, then red and finally, burgundy brown shadows.
DO NOT FORGET FLASHES! And for this - look at nature, and not in your head. And then we often get the impression that we have already understood a hundred times how this leaf or twig looks like there. And we know we decorate without paying attention to what ... to what? - that we have forgotten nature and are already inventing anything. Familiar?
But we are not like that! We draw from nature carefully! We note everything. If the berry has an asterisk on its nose, we draw, if it is not visible, then it is not visible. If the berries obscure one another, then as it is - draw with obscuration. Everything is true.
A beautiful rowan tree grows in our Russian parks, gardens, forests. This not very tall branchy tree belongs to the Rosaceae family. She has rather large pinnate leaves, white flowers, collected in inflorescences, with a very bright specific aroma. Everyone knows the fruits that remain after the flowering of mountain ash. These are the most beautiful clusters, consisting of small orange or red balls with seeds. There are many useful substances in these fruits: vitamins, microelements, and also sugars. These rowan fruits are used in the production of medicines, for the needs of the cosmetic industry, for various vitamin supplements. From the fruits of mountain ash, you can cook jam and squeeze the juice. The berries of mountain ash usually ripen in autumn, closer to cold weather. Very often you can see bright rowan clusters, powdered with the first snow. Mountain ash is a magnificent decorative element of our gardens and parks. We want to teach you how to draw a branch of rowan berries with a branch here step by step using a pencil.
Stage 1. First, let's draw a sketch of a rowan branch here. Let's draw one middle line, on the sides of it there are two more lines diverging in different directions. Using this sketch, we already outline the contours of the rowan branch itself. We show the thickness of branches and branches coming from the main branches on the sides.
Stage 2. Now, at the ends of the small twigs, we start drawing the rowan berries themselves. We draw the first row of small circles, located not in one straight line, but so that some berries are a little higher, others a little lower. We also draw a few berries peeking out from behind the berries of the first row.
Stage 3. Below we will draw a couple more rows of rowan "beads". We make circles. We arrange them quite densely, since they are located on a living mountain ash.
Stage 4. Here, at the bottom of each rowan berry, we make the so-called "cross". This is a small depression at the tip of the berry, left over from the flower, which then gave fruit - this very berry.
Stage 5. Now, on the branches of the mountain ash, draw lines that diverge in different directions and are approximately the same distance from each other. These will be the main veins of future leaves.
Stage 6. But now it is necessary to make the contours of the leaves around each such vein. Leaflets are elongated oval, with serrated edges. And from the main vein, do not forget to show the small veins running. Leaves sit on small petioles. In the same way, we make the main veins on the other branch.
Stage 7. We also draw leaves on the second branch.
Stage 9. And now it remains just to color the picture brighter. We make a bunch of berries in orange or red. The branches are green and the leaves too, but choose different shades. The outlines of the picture can be outlined in black. Here is such an elegant rowan!
Legends and myths about mountain ash.
In one of the old English legends, there is a story about how a certain young hero, who went on a long voyage, cannot return to his native castle for a long time, captured by a sorceress, because that evil wizard every time creates storms on the path of his ship. And only then does the young man succeed in breaking through the magical obstacles and freeing the castle, when a wise man tells him to change the keel of the ship from oak to rowan, for evil witchcraft dissipates where the wood of this tree, beloved by many peoples, appears ...
According to another legend, a wife turned into a mountain ash, at whose feet her beloved husband died. Evil people wanted to separate them, but they could not achieve this either with the help of gold, or with the help of power and weapons, or even with the help of death. Their life was beautiful, and their death became beautiful. Having kissed her husband for the last time, the faithful wife called on the Lord to protect her from the power of the murderers, and at the same moment became a mountain ash on his grave. Its fruits turned red like blood spilled in the name of love.
There is an Irish legend about Fraorte, in which the magical rowan berries guarded by the dragon could replace nine meals, and besides, they were an excellent remedy for healing the wounded and added an extra year to a person’s life. If we turn to the legend of Diarmoid and Grain, then there is even more, it is said that rowan berries, like apples and nuts, were considered the food of the gods.
They tell a legend about the goddess Freya (the goddess of love and beauty among the inhabitants of Asgard), who had a necklace made from rowan fruits that protected her from various evil eye and damage.
The northerners lined their dwellings and temples with mountain ash, thus protecting the buildings from lightning strikes. And almost everywhere the tree itself was dedicated to the local god of thunder. Among the Slavs, it was the tree of Perun, the Scandinavian Thor also did not shun the mountain ash. For the same Scandinavians, rowan protected not only from lightning, but also from hostile magic. The Karelian-Finnish deity Tara, the same thunderer as Thor consonant with him, also received a mountain ash as a dedication. Among the Celts, mountain ash was considered an analogue of Greek ambrosia. Her red berries, guarded by a green dragon, were called the food of the gods.
There is a rowan holiday - this is the day of the Holy Cross, or "Rowan Day". Celebrated on May 3 or May 13. On this day, rowan branches were brought into the house to protect the house from all sorts of adversities. Rowan name days were also celebrated in some areas. These holidays took place four times a year: in spring, when they celebrated the end of plowing and the opening of a rowan leaf; in the summer, when the sowing season ended and the rowan blossomed; in the fall, when the harvest was completed and the new year was celebrated, the mountain ash ripened at the same time; and in winter, when preparing for the new season. All these holidays were accompanied by a special bell ringing, which was popularly called “Rowan ring”.

Is it possible not to admire this beauty? Mountain ash is especially good in autumn - carved golden-red leaves, a necklace of scarlet berries, a variety of colors and shades become an adornment of city parks and wild forests. In June, fragrant flowers appear on the mountain ash, which attract insects, bees and wasps. Crimson berries ripen by autumn. Interestingly, from a botanical point of view, rowan fruits are small apples.
Forest dwellers are not averse to eating bunches of berries. Moose gladly eat both berries and young twigs of the plant. But bears, squirrels, hedgehogs, mice eat only rowan fruits.
Before the first frosts, rowan berries have a bitter taste, which almost disappears after the first cold weather. In winter, birds feed on the fruits of mountain ash - during this difficult time, berries become the most accessible food for them. Sauces, jams, kissels, marmalade, tinctures are prepared from mountain ash. Rowan has healing properties, but is not used in medicine.
In ancient times, people endowed the tree with magical powers, which drove away evil spirits and protected from witchcraft. At first, bunches of mountain ash were sewn to clothes, and later they began to embroider its image.
