What could be more beautiful than nature? Lush spring greenery, fancy snow-covered branches, crimson autumn leaves... Nature probably attracts everyone, and many would like to try to depict at least a part of nature on paper. However, not everyone can be an artist and paint complex landscapes. Someone would really like to learn how to depict at least one tree, not to mention something more complex. This lesson is intended for people who really want to, but do not know how to draw. From the article you will learn how to draw an autumn tree step by step, getting great pleasure from the process and the result. This master class will help you not only draw a picture, but will also teach you to see the right lines, build them, and therefore will help you in the future to depict a real landscape.
How to draw an autumn tree
So let's get started with our master class. Take a piece of paper, a plain paper and an eraser and repeat step by step!
Step 1. Drawing a trunk
Let's start with the trunk. Don't know how to draw It's very simple! Draw two parallel lines at a fairly impressive distance (unless you are going to depict a birch tree). Use strokes to indicate the rhizome of the tree. Next, the trunk should turn into wide branches. Look at the picture below, they look like snakes, draw the same ones on your sheet of paper.
Step 2. Detailing the branches
Now let's detail our branches. Add small, thin shoots to make the tree look more natural and not like a child's drawing. If you don't know how to draw a tree branch correctly, look at the picture below. Remember the rule: branches should not be duplicated, use your imagination and do not draw mirror-exact copies. In addition, to achieve a slight 3D effect, draw some branches more clearly, and some, on the contrary, only indicate them with shading.
Step 3. Bark effect
How to draw an autumn tree naturally? Add subtle lines on the trunk and branches. They should not be perfectly straight; on the contrary, the lines should create a bark effect. Make “islands” in some places, as shown in the picture below.
Step 4. Adding color
Now it's time to add color to your tree. Using a deep brown-red color, paint over the lines you sketched in the previous step.
Step 5. Coloring
Use a light brown pencil to color the rest of the wood. Make sure all your lines have the same direction!
Step 6. Let's make the image three-dimensional
Now let's start applying the shadows. Draw shadows along the outline of the tree with a medium brown pencil to make the image look more voluminous. If you've never worked with shadows in a drawing, take a look at how it's done in the picture below.
Step 7. Aging the wood
If you want, you can make your tree “older.” To do this, take a dark brown pencil, paint over the red-brown areas and make the shadows deeper.
Step 8. Autumn
Now we have reached the last step in the story of how to draw an autumn tree. All that remains is to add small yellow leaves. Draw miniature leaves onto the thin branches and color them with yellow-orange and reddish pencils.
Now you know how a tree is. We wish you success in your future endeavors!
We offer detailed instructions by writing autumn landscape gouache. The finished painting will be a wonderful interior decoration, especially if framed in a baguette.
This creative master class will help you improve your skills in working with gouache, learn how to draw the reflection of trees in water, develop a sense of composition and the ability to reflect the beauty of nature in a drawing.
You will need: gouache, watercolor paper, brushes.
Execution steps:
1. Draw the horizon line with light blue.
2. Cover top part sky dark blue.
3. Add white gouache and paint over the rest of the sky up to the horizon line.
4. Draw the water, painting the background light blue, turning into dark blue.
5. Draw clouds with white gouache.
6. Draw the earth with small strokes of brown, light brown and yellow.
7. Draw a tree in the background
8. Draw against the background of water mirror image this tree
9. Draw a few more trees in the same way
10. We paint the crown of the tree with bright autumn colors using a semi-dry brush using the poking method, and in the reflection of the water we use less saturated shades.
11. Using the same principle, we draw the remaining trees.
12. We can finish drawing the Christmas tree and bushes.
13. In the foreground we draw a pine tree trunk and branches.
14. Paint the pine crown with green paint using horizontal strokes.
15. Draw horizontal stripes against the background of water with a semi-dry thin brush using white gouache. We draw a couple more trees next to the pine tree.
16. Using a semi-dry brush using the poking method, we paint tree crowns, fallen leaves with small strokes of the same colors and grass.
Your work is ready! Now you can decorate it with a baguette and decorate the interior, or you can give it as a gift.
Of course, it is not necessary to draw exactly as shown in the master class, because this is a creative process.We wish you inspiration and success!

Thank you very much for your attention!
Drawing on the theme is a mandatory part educational program, as it allows you to better study the main signs of autumn, master the palette of autumn shades, and consolidate the ability to work with different art materials.
Autumn drawings for kindergarten can be done in the most various techniques, using an unconventional approach, but taking into account age characteristics kids.
Finger painting “Autumn tree”
For example, children 3-4 years old will be quite capable of depicting an autumn tree by applying droplets of rich colors to the main trunk with their finger.
For such work, you will need to prepare in advance a palette and templates for drawings of tree trunks and branches. We invite the kids to cover the tree with leaves, choosing the most autumn colors from the palette.
Children 4-5 years old can be offered more complex drawing techniques:
Drawing with a white wax candle
For work we prepare thin paper, real autumn leaves (which we collect during our walk), a candle, a brush and paints.
We place a leaf with thick veins under a sheet of paper and run a candle along it.
Cover the entire sheet with paint.
Where the candle comes into contact with the veins of the leaf, its outline will appear.
Drawing vegetables and fruits:
Vegetables and fruits are another popular theme for drawing in the fall.
Drawing with wax crayons
We again use the leaves that we collected during a walk in dry weather. They do not need to be dried because they will become brittle during the drying process. You will also need a thin white paper and wax crayons.
Place the piece of paper under the sheet of paper and carefully color the entire space above it with chalk.
Where the chalk touches the veins, the clear contours of the leaf appear.
To make the drawings look more impressive, we fix them on a bright background - for example, sheets of colored cardboard.
Drawing in kindergarten (video):
Look at the video of beautiful and bright ways of drawing on the theme “autumn”:
Autumn drawing with prints
Again we use freshly picked autumn leaves. We cover each of them with a layer of colors from the autumn palette and carefully turn them over onto a sheet of white paper. We carefully lift the sheet - a multi-colored imprint remains in its place.
From such drawings you can organize a real autumn exhibition
Coloring leaves
Children 5-6 years old can already cope with more jewelry work. We use well-dried ones, which need to be handled carefully, as they break easily in your hands. We cover the leaves with different shades of paint.
It is better to use gouache or acrylic paint, watercolors often roll off the surface of the sheet.
Having painted one side, dry it and paint the second.
In this case, the leaf itself is autumn picture.
The result is bright autumn leaves that can be used to create various decorative compositions.
From painted leaves you can make an original autumn pendant on a branch.
Coloring paper leaves
This work also requires concentration and perseverance, but less caution - paper sheets cannot be broken and are difficult to wrinkle.
We color each leaf on both sides.
We dry them and use them to decorate a group or hall.
Autumn drawing with crayons
We cut out templates of autumn leaves from thick paper in advance.
Place the template on a landscape sheet.
Carefully paint over the entire space around it with wax chalk, directing the strokes from the center to the periphery. Coloring a birch leaf.
Coloring the maple leaf.
We lift the sheet - only its outlines remain, around which we see a real explosion of bright color.
Such non-standard drawing on the theme of autumn in kindergarten will help develop a child’s interest in creativity and awaken in him the desire to create new ones interesting compositions and paintings.
Drawing and application “Autumn fly agaric”
Using real leaves we draw a colored background. We are waiting for it to dry. Cut out the fly agaric cap from red paper, and cut out the stem from white paper. From a napkin we cut out a fringe for the fly agaric leg. We combine all the elements of the craft on a colored background and complement it with dried maple leaf. All that remains is to paint the fly agaric’s cap with white dots. Our autumn fly agaric is ready!
Drawing autumn with watercolors and crayons Parents or teachers can draw the outlines of the leaves; the children will just have to color them with watercolors. After the watercolor has dried, outline the contours, veins and patterns with a black marker.
In this drawing, the contours are also highlighted with a colored felt-tip pen.
How to draw a colored leaf step by step
Even small children can draw a tree using the “poke” method. The master class is conducted by Vera Parfentyeva, reader of “Native Path”, technology teacher, circle leader artistic creativity for children preschool age, participant of our Internet Workshop of educational games “Through the game - to success!”
To draw a tree using the poke method you will need:
- gouache paints,
- brushes No. 2, No. 4,
- white watercolor paper A 4.
We will paint this tree immediately with paints without first drawing the outline. The crown of the tree will consist of 3 tiers different sizes. We will draw it as follows.
Step by step description of drawing a tree
Step 1:
In the center of the upper part of the sheet of paper, using a brush No. 4 with yellow paint, draw a dotted contour in the form of a cloud on the upper tier of the tree crown. The brush must be held vertically. You need to paint with the tip of the brush, making “pokes”. Then, inside the contour using the “poke” method, we will paint over this tier.
Step 2: Stepping back from the first tier down approximately 1 - 1.5 centimeters, as in the first point, we draw the second tier of the crown a little pointwise larger size than the first one. I say approximate because the size of each tier will be completely different for everyone. Therefore everyone little artist oriented in size relative to the sheet. The contour should not be perfectly smooth and symmetrical along the edges relative to the center.
Step 3: Similar to the previous points, inside the contour using the “poke” method, paint over the second tier and draw the third tier. Let's fill it inside the contour. Make sure that the brush is always directed vertically.
Step 4: On all three tiers autumn tree apply it pointwise orange paint. We apply orange paint mostly on the left side at the bottom of the crown, creating darker spots, because Let's conditionally choose the lighting on the right. Therefore, the right side should be lighter than the left.
Step 5: Using the “poke” method, we’ll paint the grass under the tree first with yellow paint, then with orange.
Step 6: To Source #2 brown paint Let's draw a trunk between the tiers. Moreover, it is better to draw it from the bottom up, since the tree grows, gradually narrowing the trunk to the upper small tier. It is advisable to take paint in two shades: dark and lighter. Then the texture of the bark will stand out on the trunk. Let's draw the branches.
Step 7: Since we conventionally assumed that the light falls on the tree from the right, then yellow paint Let's add thin lines along the trunk on the right side.
I would like to add that the children coped with the task different ages. Some completed the drawing of an autumn tree entirely on their own. For others, I helped them first draw on the outline and trunk with a pencil.
Examples of children's drawings of autumn trees
How to draw a tree: creative tasks for children
— What two groups are tree species divided into? (deciduous and coniferous)
- Name the species of deciduous trees (Rowan, aspen, poplar, linden, elm, autumn, maple, birch and others).

— Why is autumn called golden?
— Read to children or learn poems about autumn:
If in the trees
the leaves have turned yellow,
If the land is far away
the birds have flown away
If the sky is gloomy,
if it rains,
It's that time of year
It's called autumn. (M. Khodyakova “Autumn”)

Autumn is coming.
Yellow songs
The wind sings to her
Red under your feet
Spreads leaves
White snowflake
Flying into the blue. (V. Stepanov “Autumn is Coming”)
