Various options for expressing talents
Winter themes are a field for flights of fancy. You can draw a house in the snow, various fantasies about this (snowman, snow queen, Santa Claus), children's games, snowdrifts, animals associated with this season, landscapes (day and night), a river or lake with ice on the surface.
There are many materials for this task: pencils, paints, felt-tip pens, gel pens, cotton wool, glue, glitter.
House in the snow
We present variations of children's drawings on the theme “Winter” with colored pencils and paints. One of them:
To begin, draw three large snowdrifts, one after the other. Draw Christmas trees on them. To do this, draw one stick with a brown pencil. Branches will extend from it. Draw needles on them in green. Draw snow with a white pencil. The house will be hidden behind the snowdrifts. Draw a square and a triangle on top of it. This is a wall with a roof. Place a small square on the wall and a rectangle next to it: a window with a door. Sprinkle the roof with white or blue snow. Ready.
It is better to do the drawing with shading rather than painting over all the empty spaces.
Painting winter with colors:
Here is the first snow and a house in winter. But painting with paints is a difficult task. To begin, make markings with a simple pencil (take the work plan from the first option). Then simply paint with gouache. Indicate snow flakes in blue.
Winter landscape
Winter-winter:
Divide a sheet of paper in half. Place two Christmas trees on the top line, followed by light green birch trees. Distribute as many trees as you think necessary on the sides. There should be snowdrifts in the center. To do this, leave a couple of lines of purple-pink color, shade the blue somewhere.
Winter tree:
We'll have to divide the horizon again. Only now on one third and two thirds of the sheet. In the upper right corner we draw a sun. There are Christmas trees on the horizon line. We will make them blurry, do not draw the outline and details. Using a thin brush, draw two semicircles on the lower part. These are snowdrifts. Using the same thin brush, we draw two birch trees without foliage onto them.
The desired fairy tale
When we hear the phrase “winter fairy tale,” most people think about a snowman, a Snow Maiden, and talking animals.
Therefore, we suggest depicting Christmas trees in the background, and a smiling snowman and his mouse girlfriend in the foreground:
To do this, draw three circles. The bottom one is the largest, the middle one is smaller, and the head is the smallest. She is wearing a red cap and a multi-colored scarf around her neck. There are two twig handles on the side, with warm mittens on them. New Year's gift in hand.
Fairytale winter house:
Nothing new. We combine elements from earlier works: there is a house, Christmas trees, and a snowman. This option is also suitable for children in grades 2 and 3.
Fun
The kids' favorite pastime is, of course, ice skating. Pictures on the theme “Winter fun”:
We draw the upper part of the man the way you are always used to doing it. Spread your legs a little wider than usual. In the second boy, you can depict how he pushes off the ice. The ice should be soft blue, otherwise color as desired.
Mischievous guys love hockey:
We divide the horizon into two parts. The top one is for the sky, trees and gates, the bottom one is for fun activities. How to make a gate: in a gray square, the strokes go diagonally, first from the bottom left to the top right, then from the bottom right to the top left. Place one child on a slide and let the other watch the beautiful picture. Give two children sticks in their hands and throw a black oval puck between them.
We remind you that it is difficult for children to work with paints because they blur on the sheet. The base should be made with a pencil, and blurry spots should be attached to it, symbolizing hair, clothes, and equipment.
Fantasies
Children fantasize and dream most often about gifts, the New Year and Santa Claus. We invite you to draw winter fantasies using sketches:
First, draw an oval, with a smaller oval in its center. We divide the large figure into two parts. We draw a semi-oval on top (and a semicircle on top), and a semicircle on the bottom. We got a hat without a pompom. Hurry up and finish drawing it. The very first oval will contain eyes, furry eyebrows, a nose and a mouth. From the mouth, draw another half circle. Starting from the hat, erase the boundaries, drawing out the beard in detail. Let's paint it over.
Another option:
Draw a circle and a smile in its center. This is the nose of Santa Claus. A luxurious mustache should extend from the nose. Then draw frills on the cap and a full beard in waves. Draw the cap and body, eyes, eyebrows, gifts behind the back. All that remains is to use the paint. Forward! A 4th grade student can easily handle this.
We depict nature from the earth to the sky
You can draw winter nature in different ways.
Animals
Who else, if not a bunny, stays awake all winter? What is not a symbol of this time of year:
The steps are extremely simple: draw an oval, not far from it there is a slightly elongated circle. Add the contours of the tail and paws. We connect the head with the body, attach long ears to the head. Add touches to create a wool effect.
Drawing animals with paints is not as difficult as it seems. Penguins live in the ice all year round. They deserve to be in your winter drawing:
How to draw animals: in the upper half we paint the excellent beautiful northern lights. Most of the leaf is occupied by snowdrifts and ice floes. Three little penguins walk happily on them. We make a black oval, slightly tapering at the very beginning. Next to him on the sides are flippers. Dip the brush into orange paint and carefully apply it downwards. These are webbed feet. We paint the eyes and abdomen white.
Forest
Forest - trees and animals collected in one place. How to depict a winter forest in the picture:
How to draw a winter picture with rowan: draw a trunk of medium thickness, short branches extend from it. At their ends we place small red circles in two rows. The first row is longer. Next to the rowan we draw a red semicircle, with two sticks extending from it. There are three more from these sticks: two diagonally, one in the center. Add a black head, beak, wings. Place a couple of Christmas trees and other animals of your choice in the picture. Don't forget to use white and blue pencils to create a snow effect.
Another variant:
First you need to draw the fir trees. Dip the brush into green paint, then press it onto the sheet evenly on both sides. The result is symmetrical needles. We use brown paint to mark the base of the trunk. The rest of it was covered by branches. After that, paint the bottom and top white, leaving space for the moon. We wait for the white paint to dry, then apply pink next to the yellow circle and blue around the edges.
Night
Fairytale night forest:
Even if you work in a minimalist style, there is a chance to achieve the desired recognition. Print the tree in green as in the step above. On top of this layer, apply almost the same, but white, leaving space for the previous one. It turns out to be a Christmas tree that is covered with snow. Add blue paint to the sky and paint stars and snowflakes on it with a thin brush.
River
Drawn picture with a river:
This drawing is also done using shading. Christmas trees are made with blue strokes obliquely and tilted to the right. The sky is in violet-blue tones. Let's add yellow-purple clouds. The river is blue-yellow with a horizontal streak.
