The article will tell you how to easily and simply draw a winter landscape yourself.
Drawings depicting winter landscapes have a special attractive magic: you want to look at them and hang them on the wall in the recreation area (living room, bedroom, office). Images of snow-covered trees and house roofs inspire human soul the feeling of comfort and tenderness, fairy tales and magic that is present during the New Year.
Drawing winter landscapes is not difficult. Main - choose the right paper and paints. Approximately 50% of the success of the entire work depends on the chosen paper. When painting with paints, you will need thick cardboard from the “craft” category. You can also use colored matte cardboard, for example, blue or black, on which white paint, pastels and pencils look especially contrasting.
When thinking about what you can draw in a winter landscape, the first thing that comes to mind is a house. The house has been present in the human mind since childhood, since the child first sees a fairy tale about Morozko or forest animals. It doesn’t matter what kind of house you imagine, the main thing is to draw it correctly.
We invite you to depict a cozy forest house:
- Choose a perspective, i.e. approximate location of the house on a piece of paper.
- It is best if the house is in the center of your image, or close to the center. This way it will attract attention and be the main storyline.
- To draw an even and proportional house with a roof, you can use a ruler, but then be sure to trace the house template by hand so that the drawing does not look angular.
- After you have drawn the main lines: walls, roof, windows, threshold, etc., proceed to detailing.
- Don't rush to draw snow. Only when the house is completely drawn, using white paint or chalk, literally “cover” the house with a “snow cap”. If you only draw with a simple pencil, you will need an eraser.
Step by step drawing:
House in the forest: drawing in stages 
House, winter landscape: step one “main lines” 
Once the main lines are drawn, sketch out the snow on all surfaces 
Start detailing the drawing, depict nature: trees, fir trees, paths and other little things 
Erase extra lines eraser 
Start coloring the picture with paints

Story pictures are a universal material for speech therapy work in kindergarten. They help the teacher solve the following problems:
- learn to write a descriptive story;
- enrich vocabulary;
- develop thinking, attention, imagination.
Various pictures for children depicting winter and winter fun should definitely be among teaching materials speech therapist You can use special thematic sets for kindergarten or select suitable images yourself. Let's consider several options for pictures about winter that will help in your work.
The picture Winter has come opens a series of images of nature selected for the new season. It can be used in classes in the senior and preparatory groups, conducting classes on the topic "", "How animals prepare for the cold", "", "".
The plot picture Winter in the forest helps to clearly show children the changes that occur in nature, in the forest. A beautiful winter landscape helps expand a child's horizons and vocabulary.
Description winter forest can be played out as a journey, an imaginary adventure into a drawn area.
Snow-white Zimushchka-Winter is an ideal background for Russians folk tales, this can also be used in a collective and individual work with children. A doll tetra on a transparent background superimposed on a forest landscape is suitable for this.
Stories about winter should also include a description of the New Year and Christmas holidays. Children love these Winter pictures more than others and are more willing to engage with them. It is very useful to select images of live Christmas trees in the forest and a decorated Christmas tree at a holiday, and then play “Find the Differences!”
The next picture is called Winter outside the window, it shows the life of the metropolis in the coldest time of the year. For preparatory group good use of the image of snowy streets big city and winter in the village, using a couple of these illustrations you can carry out group work and games. Drawing winter in the city allows you to discuss with children not only changes in nature, but also conduct speech games and exercises on the topic of Transport and Professions, since at this time you can see new cars and people doing special work on the street.
Pictures depicting winter children's games and sports activities, organized at fresh air, represent an excellent opportunity not only to enrich the active vocabulary and narrative speech children, but also to work on consolidating complex sounds. These could be exercises on differentiating between S and S, Z and Z, S and Z, S and Z.
Several subject pictures of winter fun will be useful for working in a group and for carrying out open classes. It will help to compose a story based on the picture Winter fun, which schematically depicts:
- name of entertainment, game;
- its rules;
- its attributes;
- number of participants;
- best season.
For example, if the picture is dedicated to the winter fun “snowballs”, then the following should be noted in the table:
- the first sound of the game's name is soft S and the snowballs themselves;
- prohibition of throwing snowballs in the face, at animals and birds, at children;
- gloves, snow molds, shield, targets;
- one child and many;
- snowfall, large snowflakes.
With such support, children will be able to compose their own story not only following the example of an adult, but also with the help of independent analysis. No inscriptions are needed; even senior pupils can easily compose a complete story using clear, schematic pictures.
In speech therapy work, it is useful to use a series of plot pictures on the topic of Winter fun, Sports in winter, etc. Here sample list games that can be taught to a speech therapist on the topic of Winter fun using plot-based pictures, one or a series:
- “What happened next?” (continue story)
- What's in the picture... (white, cold, fluffy, etc.)
- "Journey into Drawing"
- "Guess what I'm talking about!"
The themes of the arrival of winter and winter children's fun are a real “methodological treasure trove” for speech therapists and teachers. There are a huge number of options for using it. We have offered you just a few of them.
Winter is one of the most inspiring times of the year.
Does your child love to draw, but has unfortunately run out of ideas? No problem.
We offer all kinds of options winter drawings for children, let's share the best techniques to translate them into reality.
This creative process captivates not only children, but also adults and will forever remain in their memory as a pleasant memory!
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 fun, 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. on them green draw the needles. 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. Blue color indicates snow flakes.
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 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 on them.
The desired fairy tale
When we hear the phrase " winter's tale"Most people think about a snowman, a Snow Maiden, and talking animals.
Therefore, we suggest in the background, and in the foreground, a smiling snowman and his mouse girlfriend:
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 branch handles on the side, with warm mittens on them. New Year's gift in hand.
Fairytale winter house:
Nothing new. We combine elements from early works: there is a house, and 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”:
Let's draw top part little 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, with a slightly elongated circle not far from it. 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 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, 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 winter picture with rowan: we 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 option:
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. Brown paint denote 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 to the sky blue paint, draw 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.
Making crafts: pleasant gatherings
Winter illustration:
For such a simple craft, we will need a sheet of cardboard, glue, colored and plain paper, and gouache. Cut out a branch from brown paper. We paint snow on it with white gouache. Dip your palm into red paint and press it horizontally to the sheet. All that remains is to add the eyes, beak and legs. Cut out small snowflakes and glue them.
Another simple craft:
Available materials: cardboard, colored paper, cotton wool, cotton pads. Glue the disks on top of each other to make a snowman. We cut out all the necessary details for its decoration from paper. Glue brown tree trunks and a broom onto the leaf. Then we deal only with cotton wool. Tear off small pieces and fluff them up. These will be snowdrifts. Then roll into large balls - this is the crown of the trees. Smaller balls - Christmas tree. The smallest lumps are falling snow.

Beauty - you can't take your eyes off it
Finally, we would like to show you beautiful painted, talented children’s portraits of winter:
We wish you success in all your creative endeavors! Let winter be remembered with a wonderful design.
We continue the topic “ We draw winter fun for children».
What winter fun do we know? - I ask the students. The people, crowded into their desks, are trying to remember something on the topic.
What I like most is watching children just playing around in the snow. Without any sleds or shovels. They simply throw the crumbling snow, jump into the snowdrifts, and then, lying on their backs, kick their legs to shake the snow out of their felt boots or just for the pleasure of lying in the snow. You can also lie on your back, clap your hands to the sides and this will create an imprint like wings.
When I tell this, the students’ eyes begin to sparkle, and no wonder, sit in class for six lessons.
So the idea of a child lying down to play in the snow is great, but, alas, very difficult to implement.
In general, it is very difficult to draw a lying figure of a person (either on his side or on his back), I assure you. And what if from a perspective, but taking into account the perspective... And if not from a perspective and without perspective? - But no, it simply won’t work. My students smile and draw a picture like this:
But you are depicting a top view,” I say, “if you insert this figure into the picture, you will get the clear impression that the child is simply standing on one leg. We need to draw a lying person from a USUAL point of view.
Anyway, let's draw. I found a photo on the Internet - a child lies in the snow with his feet towards us and his head diagonally into the distance.
From the perspective it looks like the feet in the foreground look large and the legs themselves are long. The head is relatively small. Arms spread to the sides look completely shortened. By the way, I’ll also note that the complexity and strangeness of the appearance of the figure lying in the snow is also given by the snow itself - the body is partially immersed in it. This also needs to be taken into account.
We have drawn up a diagram of the figure, now we are clarifying the details. The leg, presented directly at the viewer, looks thick and is greatly reduced. The second one looks much thinner, and even the snow is almost knee-deep))). The body is quite massive, and the arms are small and thin in perspective.
Well, what can I say? You need to draw such scenes from life. But sitting at your desk, you can’t model it in your mind - that’s what I’m answering.
Read more about drawings on the theme “Winter fun for children.”
It's winter - drawing the theme is all about winter sport yes about New Year. Of course, many winter-themed drawing competitions have been announced.
If you read school programs according to the “iso” of the seventies of the last century, it’s all there: “May Day demonstration”, “Demonstration on November 7”, “Subbotnik”... It’s somehow even wild to remember. You read and think: what were there before The themes are forced-patriotic, it’s good that at least these days children are not tormented by this.
However, current topics, in essence, differ little from those - they are just as imposed, invented by adults and have the same artificially invigorating flavor. The theme “Winter fun for children” is no exception. Neither kindergarteners nor schoolchildren themselves have their own impressions of winter games It wouldn’t occur to me to capture it on paper. I say this to prevent pink bubbles and exclamations of affection about the fact that cute little ones love to draw winter so much! Yes, they do, if you put a lot of pressure and force them.
But - closer to the point. We, teachers, NEED to participate in competitions. There is a problem - we need to solve it. Children practically cannot draw a human figure in motion and have no observation experience. I myself also don’t have much of this experience of observing children playing. I can draw winter fun from my imagination, but it will be artificial. Because you need to draw from life! However, I don’t feel comfortable going to the playground with an easel in winter. Then - according to the photograph. This was not the case - neither adults nor children are eager to get into the lens of a stranger. So, we are looking for photos on the Internet.
Here great picture: The girl swung hard and is about to throw a snowball. It's clear she's posing. But even such a staged pose is incomparably better than the legions of little men in caps with pom-poms playing snowballs at attention in ordinary children's drawings.
Let's draw. You have to start with... what?
JUST NOT WITH THE DETAILS!
We start with a diagram to understand the pose and proportions of the figure. The body is tilted and slightly thrown back. Snowball in right hand. This is important because children, without thinking, draw snow fights, a right-handed team against a left-handed team, just to make it easier to draw. But you need to portray how comfortable it is to PLAY!
Let's continue. The arm with the snowball is bent at the elbow, the snowball is slightly tucked behind the head. The girl holds it at face level. The second hand is dramatically thrown forward - for balance. Feet are spaced approximately shoulder width apart. The supporting one is the right one, the weight will be transferred to the left after the throw, but now it is freely placed forward.
The girl is still small, her body proportions are childlike - a relatively large body, arms and legs are still quite short, her head is large, her face is turned in the direction where the girl is aiming. Yes, this is also important - the direction of your gaze and the turn of your face, please, just don’t look into the camera!
Let's draw a diagram of this movement, front view and back view.
Note that this is not just a mirror image. The figure, with its back turned to the viewer, also swings its right hand.
..................................................................................................................................
Well, and another picture - teenagers playing in the snow.
Here the movements are much more complex and there are more dynamics. Look, the picture is useful for understanding that when playing snowballs, people bend over to collect the snow and avoid being hit by snowballs.
