How to draw a winter landscape (+ coloring)

Horizon line

The most important thing is to define the horizon line when drawing a landscape. It helps you to mark a foreground and a background. The line is not necessarily straight because the snow mounds are wavy.

Path

We draw a path from the horizon line. Perhaps it goes further but it can’t be seen.

The nearer the path to the frontground the more it narrows because we can see the far away objects small and the nearer ones – large. Don’t draw it straight, the path meanders between the hills because of the snow.

House

Draw the house on the right side to make it seen completely.

The building consists of two rectangles because it’s turned in three quarters.

If you look at the house at this angle, the rectangles won’t be even. They slightly narrow in the connection area because they gradually “go” to the background.

Erase the unnecessary lines. The house has got the right shape and the connection line has turned into a corner of the building. Use a ruler to make the house even. You can draw a multistoried building instead of a one-storied one.

Roof

The house must have a roof if it’s a one-storied house.

Draw the roof in the form of a voluminous triangle. The roof won’t cover the whole house if you draw only one figure.

Snow on the roof

The roofs of the houses are covered with white “hats”after a long snowfall. That’s the beauty of it.

Windows

There can be several windows in the house. Don’t draw the roof’s lower part even, because there is a snow on it and the snow covers the roof with uneven layers.

Separate the glasses from the window frames, drawing the smaller figures inside of the rectangles.

Wooden blocks

The houses have always been made of wood in the past because they keep the warmth better. The wooden planks were seen outside, they were used to build the house.

The roof was often made by connecting the beams vertically and the house was made by placing the logs horizontally. Draw the location of the beams and the logs correctly. You can draw a brick house.

Snow hills

Draw the small hills in the form of curved lines because the snow covers the ground unevenly because of the wind.

Clouds

You can draw the clouds in the sky in different ways. You can draw them, for example, with the help of circles and ovals overlaid on each other.

You must erase the inner part of the figures then to leave only the contours.

Follow the instruction attentively.

Draw as many clouds as you can – big and small. This will make the drawing more interesting.

Plants

Draw some bushes at a random number.

Background

You can draw the hills, where the path is lost, in the background.They are not higher than the house because it’s the ground which is covered with snow. You can draw the mountains if you want.

Fur-trees

Fur-trees are the essential attribute of the winter landscape. Draw them on the front and central grounds, not forgetting that the first tree is bigger the second one is smaller.

Snow mounds

Give the volume to the snow-covered ground, drawing the hills with the help of the wavy lines. Look at your drawing attentively, if there are some lines you need to erase – remove them.

Tree near the house

Another fur-tree is near the house, almost in the background – it’s the smallest one.

Snowflakes

The most important thing in a winter landscape is a beautiful snowfall. Draw as many snowflakes as you can. You can draw them in a form of circles of different sizes or in a traditional way.

Finishing touches

Encircle the fur-trees inside near the contours. The trees are slightly covered with snow, but they still remain green. We’ll mark the snow line with the help of an encircling.

Encircle the clouds. You should do it to separate the dark and the light parts of the clouds because they are most often of different shades.

Coloring

The most dominating are the shades of blue, azure and white in winter landscape. The house is brown, the fur-trees and the bushes are traditionally green. You can also draw a snowman or other details near the house. Get created, color it and the drawing is ready.

You can also color the winter landscape online on the website.
