Only experienced artist. An artist who paints the sea is called a marine painter and paints different kinds and the state of the sea and learn this all your life. Painted pictures of the sea with paints, gouache or watercolors, and better with oil very accurately convey the entire range of shades and depth of color of the sea. The sunset on the sea looks especially beautiful in its colors. But let's start step by step draw the sea with a simple pencil.
Drawing the sea is not easy, especially with a simple pencil. Difficult to convey with a simple pencil sea waves, surf. With a pencil this can only be done using the stroke technique. You will need to constantly rub the strokes with your finger or a stiff eraser.
1. First, let's highlight the main contours of the sea
To begin, select the horizon and main contours coastline our composition. On the shore, immediately draw the outlines of the coastal stones. Then we will separate the horizon line of the sea and draw the line of the beach and draw the sun. You can also draw the outlines of small waves around the stones.
2. “Scatter” the sea waves over the pattern
Now we need to draw the initial outlines of the waves throughout the space allocated for the sea in our drawing. Make pencil strokes over the entire surface of the sea, but you should not do too many of them, otherwise the waves will not turn out large.
3. Shade the water surface with strokes of a soft pencil
At this stage we need to draw and shade with strokes the contours of the waves near the stones. To soften pencil marks, you can rub them with your finger or a hard eraser. The shaded part of the sea can also be rubbed with a piece of paper or your finger.
4. Sand on the coastline
Now we will pay attention to the sea coastline. In our picture there is a sandy shore by the sea, but you can draw another one. Just like the surface of the sea, the sand needs to be shaded with pencil strokes, lightly rubbing them. If necessary, you can remove excess blackness in some areas of the sea, again using an eraser. After this, you can “paint” the stones, heavily shading them, and draw small clouds.
5. How to draw the sea. Clouds
At this stage we will draw not the sea, but what is above it - the sky and clouds. If necessary, in some areas of the sea you can lightly erase the strokes vertically with an eraser, this will give the sea additional highlights. But first add some small clouds free form with faint strokes to emphasize the movement of air. Draw the sun, such a “trifle” always makes any drawing more attractive and realistic.
6. Drawing the sea on a graphics tablet
Now you know how draw the sea with a simple pencil and you can try to make another drawing and color it with paints, as in this color picture of the sea, which I made especially for this lesson on a graphics tablet.
Video on how to draw the sea.
Of course, the drawing of the sea will look much more beautiful if you can draw a sailboat in the distance. In this lesson you will learn how to draw both the sea and a sailing frigate.
Wandering the seas on sailing ships, pirates made caches of looted treasures, many of which were never found. Perhaps these treasures never existed. But not only were maps used by pirates to indicate the location of a treasure island at sea, they were used primarily for navigation.
If you decide to draw a picturesque seascape, draw dolphins. These sea animals will definitely turn out beautiful if you draw them step by step. Draw the outlines of the sea and dolphins with a simple pencil, and then color the entire drawing with paints.
The turtle lives in the sea and is probably the most ancient inhabitant of the seas. Over all the years of evolution, turtles only learned to go to land to lay eggs, but did not leave the sea forever, like other animals. In this lesson we will try to draw a turtle by the sea ourselves.
A mermaid is half fish, half human, so you need to draw the mermaid not only a tail, but also fish scales on it. Required condition For a picture of a mermaid there must be a body of water, because they live in a river or on the sea.
When it gets cold outside, you immediately feel the desire to travel far away, to warmer climes. And when the heat is wild, no one minds going there. What kind of nonsense is this? No matter what time of year it is, you always want to go to the sea. That is how we live. Let's learn how to draw the sea with a pencil. The sea is a space filled with water that mere mortals cannot drink. But you can safely devour any inhabitant of this large body of water (unless, of course, he devours you first). The sea is beautiful and dangerous, it attracts romantics, scuba divers, girls in mini bikinis, Patrick and, as well as those who like to paint landscapes.
The sea happens different colors: black, red, Japanese, but the paradox is that it is blue all the time. Scientists are still racking their brains, but more often than others, why the sea is blue, but they cannot find any other explanation other than why not. Moreover, blue looks much more attractive than Dead. The mystery of this state of water is best explored in the summer, in the company of beautiful girls in swimsuits. Under such conditions the level scientific research increases over9000 times. From the few sources that talk about the subject, we know several things:
- Blue Sea has hypnosis skills. Eyewitnesses claim to have seen the same thing in different parts light at the same time;
- It can drill silver, whatever that means;
- Communicate directly with the Moon;
- In the sea you can find a golden shark that will grant you three dying wishes;
- Foaming for no reason;
- With his magnetic powers he attracts people to the beach, so that he can then drag them away and feed them to Cthulhu.
- Try to draw the sea for yourself.
How to draw the sea with a pencil step by step
Step one. Let's sketch out the horizon line, and these figures will indicate the location of the seagull birds. 
Step two. Now we draw the outlines of the birds themselves. 
Step three. Let's draw each bird in detail. 
Step four. Let's add shading to create the appearance of waves. You might even hear the sound of the surf. 
Don't forget to color! And then take a new piece of paper and try to draw it.
Drawing lesson for children from 6 years old
Master class on drawing. Landscape with sunset on the sea
Voronkina Lyudmila Artemyevna, teacher additional education MBOUDOD DTDM g.o. Tolyatti
This master class is intended for teachers, parents, and children over six years old.
Target: Creating a landscape with a sunset on the sea
Tasks:
- get great pleasure from the drawing process
- in 20 minutes create a “masterpiece” that will become not only a decoration, but also a talisman of the house
- relieve fatigue, improve mood, self-esteem
- promote the education of the individual, cultivate a reverent attitude towards native nature.
Purpose: interior decoration, gift.
Scenery - special genre painting. It combines the feelings awakened in the artist from the contemplation of nature, and the skill with which he conveys to the viewer the state of his soul. At this master class you have the opportunity to truthfully depict the living colors of nature and the beauty of a sunset at sea.
It is impossible to be able to do everything, although in contrast to this same phrase there is another, no less famous - “a talented person is talented in everything.” It's hard to disagree. Perhaps, in reality, some things are easier for us, others more difficult. But the result depends solely on determination and desire to achieve the goal. Therefore, even if by nature you are a person of an absolute technical profession, who has never encountered creativity, you can learn to draw. For example, you can start by drawing a landscape.
In this master class, we will create together with you a landscape with a sunset on the sea.
For work we need
A sheet of white paper, A3 format (I use watercolor paper)
Gouache: yellow, orange, red, ruby, purple, black (gouache should be “live”, i.e. soft, the consistency of sour cream).
Brushes (I use synthetic brushes No. 3 and No. 1, sharp ones)
A jar of water.
Progress:
Select the layout of the sheet. It can be located both horizontally and vertically.
I placed it horizontally. Unlock all colors.
I've always loved watching the sunset.
The sun spills colors across the sky.
Today, like many years ago,
I'm immersed in this fairy tale again.
Using brush No. 3, draw a horizon line in the middle of the sheet using yellow gouache.
We begin to paint the sky with the same paint
Next, to yellow paint add a little orange. We make a color stretch from yellow to orange
TO orange paint add red paint
Add ruby paint to the red paint (you can skip this step)
Add purple paint to ruby paint
Let's turn the sheet upside down and repeat all the previous steps.
Next, draw a black line along the horizon line
Let's draw the silhouette of the mountains
Let's paint over the mountains. I take purple and black paints on a brush
Using small strokes with brush No. 1, draw the reflection of the mountains on the water
Let's draw the silhouette of a yacht
Let's paint, draw a reflection on the water
Let's draw a mast. Let's just draw a straight line up
Let's draw a sail
Let's draw more yachts in the distance
The final touch - seagulls
Works of my pupils, 3rd grade students
As you can see, they showed their imagination - palm trees and dolphins appeared
More work, painted at summer camp today
All that remains is to frame the work under glass and the gift is ready. But that is another story.
This is how my artists are - satisfied and happy
I love the beauty of the sunset...
Especially when he's on the water...
The brilliance of the burning waves of a wondrous surge...
Everything brings out the best in me...
Breathtaking from obsession...
And my heart sings with bliss...
For the body this is just a temptation...
Calling him to heroism from afar...
You can't enjoy such beauty...
Sunset on the sea is Heaven on Earth...
You can fall in love without noticing...
And get sick of all this beauty...
I love the wonderful glow of the sunset...
The sunset really became like family to me...
I'll throw it away, I'll remove all doubts...
Everyone loved the sunset with their soul
(Vladislav Amelin)
Thank you for your attention
WISH YOUR CREATIVE SUCCESS!
The sea... There is hardly anyone who does not love the sea. Musicians sang his praises, poets wrote poems about him. It hides many secrets, and rarely reveals them to anyone. Humanity has always been curious about what is there, under the surface of the sea, what treasures, strange fish and plants? The sea does not give an answer, it gently splashes on the coastal stones and sparkles, basking in the sun. Only the sea is deceptive and doesn’t like jokes. Today it is obedient and calm, and tomorrow it foams angrily and rolls huge waves, destroying everything in its path. Let's try to draw the sea with a pencil, its fancy coastal waves and the seashore. It is much easier to depict the sea with paints, precisely due to color and shades, so the task before us is difficult. Step by step we will try to draw the sea with a pencil in stages, I hope you succeed.
- Prepare a thick sheet of matte paper, but not smooth, otherwise the lead will slide and deep shadows are unlikely to be obtained. In addition, this lesson will require the technique of shading on paper, and smooth paper is not at all suitable for this. You need at least two pencils - hard and soft. We draw a preliminary sketch. We designate the horizon, the line of low mountains in the background and the edge of the water.
- It is important to show how the waves move and roll. We draw long and short strokes, filling the entire sea area. But we do them at a certain angle. On the left, the lines will lie a little wider, and on the right, they will seem to gather in a narrow bunch. Near the horizon, the shading should be thicker and denser. This gives the effect of the depth and length of the sea, the feeling that the viewer is standing on the shore.
- Drawing distant mountains. There is no need to go into too much detail, it is enough to show the mountain bulges and depressions, fractures in the stones. To do this, just draw something like small triangles with a dark base. Show some of the mountains more generally, they will be far away from the viewer. Also leave unshaded areas so that there is a feeling of being illuminated by the sun. Mark the edge of the earth, a narrow strip at the foot of the mountains.
- Using a very soft pencil we begin to tint the sea. Do the shading at exactly the same angles as in the previous sketch. At the same time, on the horizon the water will be completely dark, and towards the shore it will be lighter, due to the fact that the depth becomes shallower towards the shore and “lambs” of foam appear. Try not to shade the sea evenly, remember that the sea is moving and the waves come from the horizon, increasing in size. And at the same time, each wave is voluminous, has light and shadow. The sea is like a huge silk fabric with folds.
- Now the most important stage– try to shade the pencil lines. Do not wash them, but rub them lightly over the paper. This can be done with your finger or a piece of soft paper. We leave the darkest stripe on the horizon. We highlight some areas of the waves in the foreground using an eraser. The foam will be lightest, almost white, where it touches the ground or at the very top of the ridge. Imagine how the water foams, how the splashes fly, how the waves roll onto the shore, as if covering it. Some of the water will simply spread out and be absorbed into the sand, but its contours on the ground will still be visible for some time.
- We make the most contrasting waves in the foreground. It will be darkest in the depths of each wave, under the white edge of the foam. At this stage we work more with an eraser. For convenience, it can be “sharpened”, that is, with a sharp blade, cut off the edge diagonally. They can be used to “paint” snow-white foam. Use a soft pencil to add contrast to the waves and immediately erase the excess with an eraser, “outlining” the splashes. If the paper is soft and loose, then the pencil drawing can easily be corrected in this way. Work very carefully, without smearing the drawing. Sometimes it is enough to just point-touch the surface of the paper with an eraser to get picturesque “lambs”. This type of drawing requires some virtuosity, but try anyway.
One of the bizarre features is that there is no sea at all. Here it is more important to buy a bunch of different trinkets and magnets for the refrigerator. Otherwise, it does not count as a vacation. After all, you can fry your butt in the sun anywhere, but you can only buy real Crimean shells made in Vietnam in Crimea. Another evidence of a good vacation can be photographs or, if you are an artist, drawings. Anticipating summer holidays You and I can prepare in advance and learn how to draw a beach with a pencil. The beach is a heap of artificially created mixture of clay and shiny pebbles for the comfort of tourists' butts. There is also natural sand on the bottoms of lakes, rivers and children's sandboxes, but it is not so pleasant to the touch and is teeming with local flora and fauna.
In the civilized world, the beach is something more than a substance. This is a place to hang out, this is a cultural institution. The list of interesting things to do here is small, mainly boils down to:
- Construction of castles;
- Burying friends in it;
- Search for treasures, shells, forgotten jewelry by tourists;
- Declarations of love on the sand, which are immediately washed away by the surf. Symbolic.
And yet, the beach brings a lot of joy to children and their parents. We will be especially careful, because the child is busy with something all day. Cheap and cheerful. If you want to bring from the sea not only a set of young tourists, but also beautiful picture drawn by yourself, I recommend that you practice with us.
How to draw a beach with a pencil step by step
Step one. Sketch. First, let's outline the locations of objects on paper. I don’t know what you will have there, I have an umbrella, a sun lounger, and a couple of palm trees or other exotic vegetation. 
Step two. Let's add some detail to the above items. 
Step three. Let's draw an umbrella, a sun lounger, and carefully draw palm leaves. 
Step four. On background let's add the sea, clouds. And in the foreground we will shade. The sketch is ready. Here's how it happened: 
You can add something else interesting, or even color it. I will be glad to see your creativity, send your works! You can attach a picture directly under this article, or in our VKontakte group! I also recommend trying to learn how to draw.
