Pine.


Pine is loved in Russia no less than birch. Stately, stern, she stands against all the winds. Pines are always not far from us. If there is no pine tree in the nearest forest park, then you just have to drive a little away from the city, and there it is, a stately beauty. It stands, stretches its branches and thin needles towards the sun, and gently sways in the wake of the wind.
Pine is considered a true “tree of life”, which always looks green and fresh even at a very advanced age. It is highly valued as a symbol of long life and lasting marital happiness. Particular attention is paid to pine as a symbol of inviolability and resilience in Chinese art, because even in cold winter she keeps her needles, and the fact that they always appear in pairs means life together, as is the case in marriage.
Pine is the oldest healer. Its healing needles were included in medicinal compositions five thousand years ago. Pine extract for baths is obtained from pine needles, essential oil, ointments for the treatment of burns.
Pine is a very valuable forest species. Produces industrial ornamental wood. Pine wood is permeated with resin passages, as if impregnated with resin, which protects the tree from rotting. It is used to obtain resin, from which turpentine and rosin are obtained. Cellulose is obtained from fresh ridges.
Pine forests are magnificent at any time of the year. Mighty trees with crowns rising high above the ground, with slender trunks covered with reddish bark, attract you under their canopy. The beauty of pine trees is a source of inspiration for many artists, poets and writers.
Materials and tools:
- watercolor paints;
- brushes No. 12, No. 2, squirrel;
- drawing paper A-4;
- a simple pencil, eraser;
- watercolor paints;
- palette, sippy cup.


Stages of work:
Using a simple pencil on a vertical sheet of paper, draw a pine trunk. The trunk of the pine tree is tall and straight.


Next, draw branches from the trunk up and slightly to the sides.


Around the branches we outline the silhouette of the tree crown, in the form of clouds. We will leave the lower branch without a crown - a dried twig.


Add a horizon line.


Using a wide brush, paint the sky with blue watercolors.


We paint the ground with light green watercolors, and the crown of the pine tree with emerald.


Paint the trunk with brown watercolor.


Use dark green watercolors to paint over the grass in the foreground and the edges of the crown.


We take a dry brush, dip the tips in emerald watercolor and paint the pine needles with pokes. We paint the pine trunk in places with orange watercolor.


Apply along the edge of the crown yellow, highlighting young needles. Black watercolor highlight the shadow side of the trunk.


The drawing is ready. All that remains is to place it in a frame.



"Meeting on the Way"
Everything blooms along the way. Spring
The present gives way to summer.
The pine tree extended its paw to me
With a reddish scaly color.
Pine color, breathing resin,
It wasn't very attractive to look at.
But I said to the pine tree: “It’s good!”
And she seemed happy.

How to draw a pine tree.

Pine is an evergreen coniferous tree. and, since spruce is also a conifer and has the same color in winter and summer, they are often confused. That is, I know that my students don’t see much of a difference. And she is. Now let’s figure it out. Let’s start with the lesson “how to draw a pine branch.”

Let's start drawing with a diagram of the branch. The branching is whorled. That is, the side branches do not grow one by one, but several at a time from the nodes.

Spruce needles are single and short, they are sharp and usually quite straight. They grow on the branch in an orderly and even manner (like a lawn))). Pine needles grow in pairs, they are long and can be straight, but this is rare - usually they are arched or generally twisted. The direction of growth of the needles is approximately the same, but at the same time they - some in the forest, some for firewood - stick out out of order.

Let's draw exactly as we see it - are the pine needles tousled? - So we draw:

Resist the temptation to draw the needles even and neat, draw as if they were true. And for this, it’s best to have before your eyes not only a lesson on “how to draw a pine tree,” but also a living pine tree itself, to be honest.

In this lesson I will show you how to draw a pine tree with a pencil. This is a coniferous plant, but if you try to draw every needle, you will waste a week. In this way you can draw a pine branch with cones. No more. A whole tree simply won’t fit on paper. Moreover, from a distance the needle is still not visible. The human eye sees only contours.

But pine is different from deciduous trees. Below I will tell you why:

How to draw a pine tree with a pencil step by step

Step one. I am drawing a tree trunk. At the bottom at the root it is wider, but towards the top it becomes narrow and completely disappears. I use circles to show the places where the leaves will be. Step two. From a distance, neither needles nor leaves will be visible. But coniferous trees will have vegetation similar to green clouds. I draw clouds. Step three. I draw thin pine branches. I'll make the clouds fluffier. Step four. If you add shadows, it will be even more beautiful: I have also made drawing lessons for you on other trees. Try to picture it.

Let's learn to draw a pine tree step by step with STABILO Trio A-Z colored markers.

Felt pens with a triangular grip area and a fine tip. For right-handers and left-handers.

The ergonomic shape of the grip zone develops the skill of holding a writing instrument correctly and prevents hand fatigue even during long-term work. The body of the markers is decorated with the Latin alphabet and funny drawings, they will help in learning to draw and write.

STABILO Trio A-Z markers - owners German sign quality for toys, which confirms their highest quality and health safety.

Line thickness 0.7 mm. Ventilated cap. Water-based ink is non-toxic, odorless, and can be easily washed off any type of fabric and washed off hands.

We will draw the pine tree using STABILO felt-tip pens on drawing paper.

Felt-tip pen Brown We outline the pine trunk with two vertical lines, converging at the top into one line.

Using the same brown felt-tip pen, we draw horizontal branches above the middle height of the trunk. From above, the branches decrease in length and form a rounded crown.

Using a brown felt-tip pen, add small branches closer to the edge. All ends of the branches are directed upward. Shading the trunk.

Shade the needles with short strokes from the branches upward green. Forming separate groups needles in the crown.

We go through the upper needles with strokes of light green color. We form a crown pattern in the form of a semicircle.

Use a brown felt-tip pen to shade the lower part of the pine trunk. Then we refine the drawing of the trunk and branches with a black felt-tip pen.

You need to draw trees correctly. This may seem like a simple task, but many beginners draw foliage instead of balloon or the outline of a cloud, while others draw each leaf without respecting the scale and features of the type of tree. Both methods depict the tree differently from how we see it in reality. The artist's task is to draw the tree realistically, and not to represent it symbolically. Drawing trees will help a novice artist learn to depict what he sees.

What you will need

Take thick paper, a sharpener and several simple pencils of varying hardness.

Soft pencils will allow you to highlight dark areas, i.e. shadow. Hard pencils will not allow you to achieve the same tone, even if you press hard on them. Different designs and tasks may require different combinations of pencils. You can buy a cheap set. It is not much worse than the expensive one and will allow you to save money, and having a choice of pencils of different hardness will make drawing easier and more enjoyable. Make sure that the ends of your pencils are always sharp. Please note that soft pencils become dull faster. Blunt pencils do not draw as required. good result. Use a sharpener.

IN as a last resort You can use printer paper for drawing. But it is not dense enough and can tear when using an eraser. Artists tend to avoid this tool, but a beginner will likely have a lot of marks.

Do not try to immediately depict a tree on a whole sheet. This will make the task more difficult because there will be more space to fill and more details to work out. Limit yourself to ten centimeters.

How to draw trees correctly

Let's break the process into several stages.

1. If you like to immediately work out the drawing in detail, then you should give it up. It is more correct to designate general shape and only then move on to the details. Hard pencil outline a generalized picture with weak strokes and dots. This stage will not remain on the finished drawing. He is needed as an auxiliary.

2. Now you need to work on the barrel. Notice how it widens at the bottom. Usually big trees the trunk is short and wide. At the top, the trunk is divided into branches. Label it.

4. The shape of the crown is never ideal or correct. Indicate its shape with short strokes. Also, inside the crown, mark where there are clusters of leaves, and where they are absent and branches are visible. These branches need to be given some thickness and highlight.

5. Using strokes, outline where the shadow will lie on the trunk, and where the light areas will remain.

6. Change the pencil to a soft one and draw the texture with strokes. Leave small gaps for better texture.

7. Darken the areas where you planned to depict a shadow. A very soft pencil is suitable for this. Don't be afraid to put pressure on it, but remember that the fewer dark areas in the drawing, the more impressive it is.

8. Use a hard pencil to mark the leaves. This can be done with sloppy, round movements.

9. Now it's time to darken the foliage. Each branch seems to have its own small crown. Work on each one separately. Soft pencil on the sides covered with shadow, draw circles. Don't push too hard - you may need to correct mistakes. When you think you've done it right, deepen the shadows and work on the transition from light to dark.

10. Using a soft pencil, add some leaves that are coming out of the crown.

11. It remains to mark the accents on the darkest areas with the softest pencil. This will make the drawing more contrast. Also make sure that you don’t have any transparent, unpainted leaves anywhere. Finish them with a hard pencil.

This method is suitable for deciduous trees. If you want to draw, for example, a pine tree, then after you have outlined the branches with light strokes, mark the cluster of needles with more uneven “clouds” and leave more space between them. Do not fill the crown with circles, but draw with sharp, chaotic strokes. Using a soft pencil, draw the outline using thin and sharp lines.

The trunk of such trees is usually long and narrow. As you can see, drawing trees is not that difficult. But there is still a lot of practice ahead. It is useful to take a walk with a notebook and draw some quick sketches of trees. This way you will work out intuitive drawing. Homebodies can study photos of trees on the Internet.
