Landscapes are pictures that show the ground, sky, trees, water, and hills. Artists love to draw the world around us. You can make a landscape with crayons, paints, or even just a pencil!
1. What Is a Landscape?
- A landscape is a picture of Outside.
- It can have mountains, beaches, farms, or a city park.
- Think of looking out the window β that view can become a landscape drawing.
2. Colors in Nature
- Blue for the sky or a river.
- Green for grass and trees.
- Brown for soil or tree trunks.
- Yellow for sunshine or sand.
Mix the colors to match what you see. You might even add a pink sunset!
3. How to Paint a Simple Landscape
- Start with a Big Sky at the top of your paper.
- Add a Line for the ground or water.
- Draw Trees or Hills on the line.
- Put a Sun or Moon in the sky.
- Color everything in and have fun!
4. Look Around You
Take a walk with a grownβup and notice:
- How the clouds change shape.
- The way a river bends.
- The colors of leaves in the fall.
You can copy these ideas in your own artwork.
