Most of the drawings can be found on the theme of winter. And this is no coincidence - this time of year fascinates with amazing landscapes, white snow and the approach of magical holidays. On winter evenings we are more often at home, and this is the time to spend it with your child and draw a picture on the theme of winter.
Before you begin the process of creating a drawing, look at a few pictures with your child or go for a walk and figure out what you will draw in the evening. It will be more inspiring if you observe real winter drawings and landscapes.
There can be a lot of themes for a winter drawing. What are the most favorite characters in winter - the snowman, the Snow Maiden, Santa Claus, snow-covered spruce trees, New Year's decorations. The closer the New Year holidays are, the more drawings on holiday themes appear.
Children's drawings on the theme of winter
Children have a very rich imagination, and every child can draw anything. This is why it is so important to give your child drawing tools to see how he imagines this or that season.
Easy drawings on the theme of winter
To show winter, you can depict white hills, Christmas trees in the snow, flying snowflakes. The sky is darker than in summer. White dots can be used to represent flying snowflakes.
It is necessary to paint the winter season and holidays with the brightest colors - bright blue sky, white snow, colorful toys on Christmas trees.
Every child can draw a simple tree on a background of blue paper. Using white paints, depict snow on the branches and snowflakes falling from the sky.
For the little ones, you can offer the option of drawing with your palm.
It is impossible to imagine winter without red-sided bullfinches. They sit on branches, near feeders and on window sills.
Also, the baby’s palm can help in depicting a tree.
Children can depict a Christmas tree, a snowman, and also remember how they had fun during the day on slides and sleds.
Step-by-step gouache drawing on the theme Winter
The ability to draw does not come to a child from the first days. They cannot create entire images that they see around them. In this case, you need to help him and push him. Show a version of the drawing that is created step by step.
In this drawing we will use an unusual technique, and children will really like it. After autumn crafts at home, you will probably find a couple of dried leaves.
The white leaf must be painted with blue paints mixed with white and blue. Using a large, thick brush, paint the background of the leaf in horizontal stripes.
Using the same thick brush, paint the snowdrifts.
When the paint is dry, paint the stars with a thin brush using white paint.
Draw silhouettes of houses and fences. Choose a suitable autumn leaf and cover it with white gouache. To get a beautiful effect, you need to apply the paint with an almost dry brush and not on a full leaf. Then we will get an uneven effect.
The leaf must be applied carefully, without pressing down completely. After that, all that remains is to draw the details - snow on the roofs of houses, on fences. The snowy effect can be achieved using splashes - wet a brush in diluted white paint and make a few blobs on the paper.
Beautiful drawings on the theme of winter
On these magical winter days, everything around is covered with fluffy snow. Therefore, to depict winter, stock up on light blue and blue tones. To draw a beautiful winter, prepare a sheet of paper.
We draw the background - the lower part with blue and white stains, and the top with red ones. Draw the hills on the lower part first. At the top we will show the sunset - using fiery colors we will paint the upper part of the sheet of paper.
Draw some trees. They are depicted as large sticks, and underneath them are shadows of a lighter tone. The trees should have branches on which you paint snow with white paint.
You can show Christmas trees on the hills.
You can beautifully depict winter in other ways.
Creating a “Winter's Tale” landscape with children
"Winter's Tale" landscape.
Master class for the little ones and their mothers.
Hello, dear friends. Winter is approaching, the coldest time of the year. But at the same time, winter can be warm - near the fire of the stove or fireplace; beautiful - on a frosty morning, when everything is covered with frost; cheerful - when we all enjoy winter fun with our friends. Our children are just as excited about winter as we are, and even more so. And of course, under the impression of the emotions experienced from beauty and fun games, children want to convey these emotions in their creative works. The most accessible thing for children is drawing; take a piece of paper, a pencil, a brush and go...
I now suggest you join your child and draw with him, or rather create a winter landscape “Winter's Tale” using non-traditional drawing techniques. Tell your child that you can draw not only with a pencil and a brush, but also with a cotton swab, and you can print with a sponge and leaves. And now I’ll tell you how to do this.
We will need:
- A sheet of watercolor paper, A4 or A3 format;
- Gouache: white, blue and purple colors, green, brown (color range is not limited);
- Foam sponge;
- Cotton swabs and brush No. 2 (squirrel or pony), and any large one (to paint over the leaves);
- Dry leaves of different trees and herbs: leaves of different sizes and shapes (it is not the color of the leaf that is important to us, but the size and shape). If there are no dry leaves (not everyone makes a herbarium in summer and autumn), you can donate leaves from indoor plants or take leaves from artificial flowers.
As a teacher who works with children, I will suggest that first you need to observe nature in winter with your child, you can look at pictures and photos (the Internet will help you), preferably wildlife on the street. Read a poem or sing a song.
The landscape can be thought out in advance. But children usually act on inspiration and their masterpiece is created spontaneously. Let it be so.
Let's get started. First, using a sponge, we cover the entire sheet (making the background) with blue and purple. Do not mix colors in advance, put one color on a sponge and then another and print, the colors themselves shift and give a very interesting transition.
You can make the background not so dark, add white, you get a blue sky. But then there will be no snowfall, because with a light blue sky it doesn’t snow. But basically it all depends on your imagination. Primed? Let's dry.
Second stage: we take a leaf of a tree and, turning it downward with its handle, examine it. The shape and contour of the leaf resembles the crown of a tree, which is what we use. The background is blue, the trees are white in winter (when they are covered with frost), so we take white gouache and paint over the entire leaf with white gouache (we hold the leaf by the stem, it’s so convenient).
We applied gouache to the sheet, turn it over, put it on the picture where the tree was supposed to be, press it and remove it.
there is no need to paint over it within the contour , it is not a clear print and creates all the charm of a tree covered with frost. So we make several prints with leaves of different sizes and shapes, making a forest. Big leaves are big trees, small leaves are small trees. You can leave room for the spruce, but how could it be without it, the main tree of the New Year.
We've printed the crowns, let's move on to the trunks. Please note that the leaf veins are similar to the trunk and branches of a tree. This will help us in drawing the trunk and branches.
Using a brush we draw trunks and large branches. The trunks are not completely covered with frost and retain their color. We make them brown, or gray, or white (birch). The trunk below the crown is completely visible, but under the crown it is not - it only peeks out in places. So we explain to the child and write - the trunk under the crown is intermittent.
Next, use a sponge to make large snowdrifts (the sponge allows you to show the texture of loose snow). We darken the snow a little under the trees.
We will print the spruce with a sponge (you can use a brush) - remember the rule: the spruce is drawn or painted from the lowest branches, gradually we go up, the branches become smaller.
We also add a trunk (also only visible in places).
The spruce has dried, put white snow on the branches of the spruce (with a sponge, cotton swabs).
How beautiful winter is when it snows. So we will show this beauty with cotton swabs. We simply dip the stick in white gouache and place random dots.
That's all.
While drawing with your child, enjoy the work.
Advice: don’t suppress your child’s imagination and creative impulse; his vision of winter may be radically different from yours. It’s better to conduct a good observation and conversation before work, and let your child talk about winter himself (you can use your leading questions). Come on, tell him the secret that you can paint not only with a brush.
I suggest wearing gloves so you don't get your hands too dirty.
Did you enjoy your work? Now we can safely frame it and hang it on the wall or give it as a gift.
Friends, I wish you success in your work. Thank you for your attention.
Winter sports: children's drawings
During the winter season, there are many sports that children especially love. To draw one of them, you need to be able to depict a person in motion.
For a child, it is enough to start with being able to schematically depict a person.
When you color this drawing with paints, the sketchy man will take on a more real appearance.
Children love to skate: girls are fond of figure skating, and boys love to play hockey.
An important point when drawing is to take into account the correct depiction of the characteristic signs of movement. Don't forget about the attributes of each costume.
Hockey players have quite complex costumes to portray and it is important to take into account every little detail.
Winter pencil drawings for sketching
We all have our own associations, but winter has the same synonyms for everyone - snow, small flying snowflakes, cold, snowmen and spruce trees, as well as winter entertainment. It is unrealistic to depict all this on one piece of paper, so you need to decide on the theme of the drawing. If you don’t want to think or don’t have enough imagination, then you can use drawings for sketching.
You can draw a winter landscape with paints, pencils and felt-tip pens. Painting is the easiest and fastest option. If you draw with pencils, you will have to depict a lot of details in order for the drawing to be worthy of attention. Before you start, come up with a plot for the drawing - what will be located on it, and in what part of the sheet. First you need to schematically depict the location of all the elements of the drawing, and then proceed to detailing.
How to draw a winter landscape with children and animals with pencil and paints?
To make the drawing rich, interesting and positive, depict several story lines at once. For example, in a forest or in a clearing, children have fun with winter fun together.

Winter landscape: children's drawings
To help your child draw a landscape, draw his attention to the trees, snow, and ground while walking. Show what colors are inherent in the sky, clouds, and earth. The ground is not necessarily covered with white snow; the ground cover has several shades. Teach your child to pay attention to little things and then his drawings will be more realistic.
The older the children, the more small details they can depict.
Winter landscapes are very different from summer ones; they have some kind of mystery and charm. It doesn’t take much effort or skill to show winter on a piece of paper. But this activity helps develop creative thinking and imagination. Winter nature is prone to changes, and you can notice them to depict them on a sheet.
Winter landscape: pencil drawing step by step
The main colors of the winter pattern are blue, blue, and white. Pencils can be used to show finer details. Trees are usually depicted with a dark trunk and branches with bluish snow on them.
To draw such a landscape, we will need:
- Colour pencils
- Eraser
- Simple pencil
- White sheet of paper
We draw snowdrifts and the outline of a thick oak tree with large branches.
Near the oak tree we will draw three circles of different sizes that will represent a snowman.
We give the snowman a personality - we draw eyes, a mouth and a nose. Let's depict his hands in the form of sticks with twigs.
You can draw a bird feeder on a tree, and we’ll show another bird on a branch.
Stepping back a little from the snowman, let’s draw a triangle, which will then grow into a Christmas tree.
Next, draw branches on the Christmas tree and a bullfinch on top of the branch.
In the background we depict Christmas trees in the distance.
Now you can erase the auxiliary lines and draw the main ones
Let's color the branches of the Christmas tree green, and show a snowball on top with blue.
We will depict the tree trunk in brown, and we will show the snow in blue and blue colors.
On the oak tree, be sure to depict the veins in a darker color than the entire trunk was painted.
Painting a winter landscape with paints
The winter forest plays with different colors - from light blue to dark blue. At night, nature looks especially gorgeous in winter. Moonlight falls very beautifully on the snow cover.
You can paint such a landscape with watercolors.
You can draw a gouache forest in a few steps, which are not as difficult as it might seem. When you look at the finished landscape, you don’t understand how you can depict shadows, mountains, snow and sunset like that. But with step-by-step explanations everything will be much easier.

Pencil drawing of a winter forest
Drawing winter is a lot of fun. You can use craft paper for this; the drawing will look more interesting on it. White ink will look more attractive on this paper. Before drawing, it is important to decide what will be shown in the picture.
Tip: Use a quality eraser to avoid leaving streaks and stains after erasing unnecessary lines.
To show winter, it is enough to draw trees without leaves and do not forget to cover them with a thin white veil. For the sky you need to use darker tones of blue and cyan. This is also necessary for this. To make white snow look more contrasting.
First of all, you need to decide on the horizon. Determine the center of your painting and draw three hills.
On the first hill on the left we draw three Christmas trees, and on the right only one. We do this using simple lines.
In the background you need to depict a house. It is depicted by two figures - a cube and a triangle.
On the third hill we will draw bushes and several trees with simple lines.
On each tree and bush it is necessary to draw branches. Draw a door and a window on the house, and draw snow on the roof. Show the path from the door of the house. There will be a thin layer of snow on the branches. To color the Christmas trees, you need green pencils of two shades.
We will paint the snow with a light blue pencil. It should be on the branches and roof of the house. Let's paint the hills blue. We will use brown and black to depict the branches on which the snowball will also lie. Complete the small details of the house.
Winter forest: gouache drawing
If winter doesn’t come to you, then you can speed up its appearance with beautiful snow designs. Prepare gouache and a white sheet of paper.
The first step is to cover a sheet of paper with white gouache.
Use blue paint to outline the horizon line and sky, as well as the foreground.
To outline the future composition with a darker blue color, you need to outline the trees in the background and snowdrifts in the foreground
Next we will work on the trees and other elements. Apply highlights with white paint.
Try the winter forest option at night. For this work, use gouache.
Use dark colors – purple and blue – to paint the main background, add a little brown.
Let's add a little black at the top. We apply it on top of the first layer at the top of the picture. We paint the background with dark blue paint. We make transitions smooth by mixing shades.
We paint the bottom of the leaf light blue. We draw the silhouette of the Christmas trees with black paint. We will draw three Christmas trees in total.
Below we will tint the tree with purple, and we will also show the shadows with the same paint. Using white paint we will draw a round moon in the sky and snow on the Christmas trees.
Duplicate the snow on the Christmas trees again on top of the first layer of white paint. Also paint dotted stars on the sky with white paint.
