To draw a New Year's garland like in the photo, you will need a sheet of thick paper of a dark color (blue, purple or black). You will also need regular chalk (the kind you use to draw on asphalt or a blackboard) and a light bulb stencil cut out of cardboard.
On a piece of paper, use a thin felt-tip pen to draw wires and light bulb sockets. Now apply the light bulb stencil to each socket in turn and outline it boldly with chalk. Then, without removing the stencil, smear the chalk on the paper using a piece of cotton wool or directly with your finger to create rays of light. You can replace chalk with colored pencil graphite chips.
It is not necessary to use a stencil. You can simply paint over the light bulbs with chalk, and then gently rub the chalk in different directions to make rays.
Using this technique, you can also draw a winter city, for example, or the northern lights.

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 a 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

Dear colleagues! This master class is designed for children aged 5-6 years, but if desired, it can also be used in classes with younger schoolchildren. The work is done without using a pencil.
Before starting work, let's look at photographs of a winter dawn with the children. Special attention let's look at the colors of the sky. What the sun looks like when it peeks over the horizon. What colors does snow have at dawn?
Sequence of work:
We place the sheet horizontally. We cover the background of the sky with light blue up to the middle of the sheet so that it is lighter in the center and a little darker at the edges.
Let it dry well.
Meanwhile, fill in the ground background. Add a drop of blue, purple and yellow to white. We draw snowdrifts.
After the sky background has dried, draw a white round spot on it - the center rising sun. It needs to be drawn closer to the horizon line, since in winter the sun does not rise high.
Svelo - yellow draw in a circular motion around the white spot.
Add white and just a little ruby or red. We make a smooth transition to light blue.
Using a thin brush we outline the outlines of the houses. I would like to note here that the composition may be different for everyone.
And we remind children that distant houses will be smaller, and nearby ones will be larger in size.
Now we need to mark three identical windows on each house. This can be difficult for preschoolers to do, so I offer this option.
First, on the rectangular facade of the house, we draw two horizontal lines that define the upper and lower boundaries of the windows and divide them into three parts with vertical lines.
And then we paint it brown with the addition of white. You can also draw one window on the roof facade.
This is how we complete all the houses.
With older children, you can draw logs on the houses. We paint the windows yellow and dark brown.
We draw trees. The distant trees are smaller, with light blue and light purple flowers. And the tree on the right, which is closer, will be drawn larger and light brown. In the foreground, at the bottom of the sheet, we depict small blades of grass and bushes.
If desired, add Christmas trees. We draw the frames in the windows with dark brown.
We enliven the picture by drawing silhouettes of birds, a cat or a cat, and of course, a lot of snow: on the roofs and windows of houses, on trees, fences.
“Powder” with fine snow using the “spray” technique.
The work is completed.
The finished painting can be framed, decorated in the interior, or used as a gift for family and friends.
