Children love to paint, it allows them to express their feelings and emotions. In addition, drawing is useful in that it develops spatial thinking, especially when depicting a landscape that cannot be imagined without trees.
Instructions
Step 1
If you're drawing a birch, start at the stem. It is quite thin near the birch. Draw two vertical lines. At the bottom, the distance between them will be greater, and at the top it will narrow. Birch twigs look up. Draw some triangles from the trunk of the tree, and thinner triangles from each triangle.
Step 2
Color in the trunk and branches. To do this, take black paint and draw thin lines over the sketch, and then draw small black horizontal stripes on the trunk, such as birch trees have on the bark. For believable leaves, use a fine, coarse-bristled brush and a few shades of green paint. Start randomly placing specks on top of the branches. Take a lighter tone first, then a darker one and finish off with a few dots of the darkest color.
Step 3
If you're drawing an oak tree, start with the trunk as well. It is thick and massive in the oak. Draw two nearly parallel lines with a great distance between each other. Draw several curved vertical dashed lines along the trunk. This will show the unevenness of the oak bark. Downward, the trunk expands slightly, going into the ground. You can depict several root outgrowths as if they had made their way through the soil.
Step 4
Do not try to draw too much on the oak branches. It has too thick crown to be very noticeable. Mark the base of the branches with triangles. Paint the trunk and branches with brown paint, then add a little black and a thin brush to paint the irregularities of the bark and the outlines of the branches. Take dark green paint and paint a large ball of foliage. Then, with a thin brush, carefully draw thin wavy lines on it to get "curly" leaves, like those of an oak.
Step 5
If you are drawing a Christmas tree, remember that it can be schematically depicted as several triangles on the trunk. The tree trunk is even along its entire length. Draw it with two parallel lines, paint the space between them with dark brown paint.
Step 6
Branches can be drawn as triangles with rounded ends. Try to make them larger so that they go one on top of the other, then your tree will be lush. Paint the needles with green paint. Run a darker color around the edges of the branches to give them volume.
