Tasks:
- get great pleasure from the drawing process
- in 20 minutes create a “masterpiece” that will become not only a decoration, but also a talisman of the house
- relieve fatigue, improve mood, self-esteem
- promote the education of the individual, cultivate a reverent attitude towards native nature.

Purpose: interior decoration, gift.

Landscape is a special genre of painting. It combines the feelings awakened in the artist from the contemplation of nature, and the skill with which he conveys to the viewer the state of his soul. At this master class you have the opportunity to truthfully depict the living colors of nature and the beauty of a sunset at sea.
It is impossible to be able to do everything, although in contrast to this same phrase there is another, no less famous - “a talented person is talented in everything.” It's hard to disagree. Perhaps, in reality, some things are easier for us, others more difficult. But the result depends solely on determination and desire to achieve the goal. Therefore, even being by nature a person of an absolute technical profession, who has never encountered creativity, you can learn to draw. For example, you can start by drawing a landscape.

In this master class, we will create together with you a landscape with a sunset on the sea.

For work we need

A sheet of white paper, A3 format (I use watercolor paper)
Gouache: yellow, orange, red, ruby, purple, black (gouache should be “live”, i.e. soft, the consistency of sour cream).
Brushes (I use synthetic brushes No. 3 and No. 1, sharp ones)
A jar of water.

Progress:

Select the layout of the sheet. It can be located both horizontally and vertically.
I placed it horizontally. Unlock all colors.

I've always loved watching the sunset.
The sun spills colors across the sky.
Today, like many years ago,
I'm immersed in this fairy tale again.

Using brush No. 3, draw a horizon line in the middle of the sheet using yellow gouache.

We begin to paint the sky with the same paint

Next, add a little orange to the yellow paint. We make a color stretch from yellow to orange

Add red paint to orange paint

Add ruby ​​paint to the red paint (you can skip this step)

Add purple paint to ruby ​​paint

Let's turn the sheet upside down and repeat all the previous steps.

Next, draw a black line along the horizon line

Let's draw the silhouette of the mountains

Let's paint over the mountains. I take purple and black paints on a brush

Using small strokes with brush No. 1, draw the reflection of the mountains on the water

Let's draw the silhouette of a yacht

Let's paint, draw a reflection on the water

Let's draw a mast. Let's just draw a straight line up

Let's draw a sail

Let's draw more yachts in the distance

The final touch - seagulls

To draw the sea, most of all you need the mood and desire to draw; skill and talent will be revealed in the process of work.

Necessary materials for work:

1. Primed cardboard or canvas for oil painting (in this case, 23x30 primed cardboard was used.
2. Palette knife and brush (No. 1).
3. Oil paints (any company): sky blue, FC blue, turquoise, red kraplak, black Mars, titanium white, golden ocher, brown Mars, cadmium red, Ararat green.
4. Flaxseed oil or solvent.
5. Palette.

The time to work on this painting is 3 hours.

Now, let's look at the oil painting lesson step by step.

First of all, prepare your palette – we squeeze out the paint, the smaller the canvas format, the less paint we will use. I took the 23x30 format, so I didn’t use a lot of paints.

The palette was pre-wrapped in cling film so as not to wash it after use.

Next stage– we make a sketch on the canvas, which consists of two lines: the horizon line – it is slightly below the middle of the canvas and the coastline.

Next stage– we begin to paint in oils, starting with the background.

Use for the sky:

Blue FC + White + Red(just a drop) + linseed oil.

Next stage– we are working on the background of the sea and shore.

We use paints of the following colors:

sea ​​– FC Blue + White + Ararat Green+ linseed oil.

shore - Ochre+Brown (drop)+White+ linseed oil (if you get a little paint from the sea, that’s fine too).

Next stage– the sky is above the horizon line, the sea is on the horizon line and we mark the waves.

For the sky we use paints such as White + Ocher (a little) and rub it along the horizon line to 1/4 of the sky. When mixed, the already existing color of blue sky and ocher can give a green tint, this is even beneficial, the main thing is that the color is not too saturated. It should look like mist at dawn.

For the background sea, this is the horizon line, we use Blue FC+ Turquoise. This is the darkest part in the picture, we paint it with a palette knife, making strokes visually similar to the surface of the sea.

And we outline two or three waves that converge at one point on the right.

Next stage– we finalize the background of the sea and move on to working with the middle and foreground, painting the waves and sea foam.

For the waves we use the same paint as for the background, only maybe somewhere lighter, somewhere darker, and paint sea foam White + Sky Blue (or Blue FC + White) and somewhere only Whitewash, between waves Sky blue.

We paint the foam over the falling waves with vertical lines, moving the palette knife from top to bottom to create movement and rhythm in the painting. And between the waves we make white stripes with the edge of a palette knife - foam from the already fallen waves.

Next stage– we finalize the waves and return to the sky.

We use Kraplak red (pink) + White and Blue FC. We make clouds and clouds, darken the sky chaotically, not evenly. And with this color Kraplak + White we add it here and there into the waves, mixing with blue there may be purple shades, trust your intuition and add color where your creative thinking tells you.

Next stage – we add the sky, draw seagulls and on the right we have a ray of sun due to spring clouds and a path from this light, we display it on the sea.

What can bring us into a state of relaxation and excitement at the same time more than sea waves and ripples on the sparkling surface of water? And the fresh ocean breeze can fill you with joy and inspiration.

The lesson below, consisting of just five simple steps, will help you paint a simple seascape with watercolors and convey the atmosphere of a sunny, windy day at sea.

You will need:

1. A sheet of watercolor paper with a semi-smooth texture, made by cold pressing, approximately 25x35.5 cm in size.
2. Three round brushes: large (No. 12), medium (No. 8) and very small for drawing small details (pointed, No. 4).
3. Paints:
– cobalt blue
– Neapolitan yellow
– cadmium red
– Venetian red
– phthalocyanine blue
– Prussian green.

Note: The last two colors will be used to represent the sea waves. You can replace them with other blue and greenish-blue paints that are bright, clean and deep.

Step 1. Pencil sketch

Draw a sketch using light lines. The outlines should be barely visible on paper.

Step 2: Draw the Sky

Wet the paper above the horizon line, excluding objects in the foreground. Wait until the paper absorbs some water.

Using a large brush, apply a few light strokes of Neapolitan yellow paint to indicate the location of the clouds. Dip your brush into cobalt blue paint and paint the top outline of the clouds. Blend the outline lightly with a clean, damp brush to achieve a smooth transition. Continue drawing the blue sky, indicating the bottom of the clouds.

While the paper is still wet, paint shadows on the clouds using a mixture of cobalt blue and cadmium red.

Step 3. Draw the water

Using a large brush, apply a generous amount of phthalocyanine blue paint thinned with water. Make the first strokes using the wet-on-dry technique (paint diluted with water is applied to dry paper).

Using light, sliding movements, apply paint to the paper, alternately using the entire surface of the brush or only part of it. Due to the slightly grainy texture of the paper, some areas will remain unpainted, creating the illusion of sparkling sea water.

While the water image is still wet, add depth with a few short strokes of phthalocyanine blue and Prussian green paint. This will add volume to the foreground image.

Step 4: Draw the Background and Waves

Mix cobalt blue, Naples yellow and a drop of cadmium red to paint the hills in the background. Try to keep the colors muted and the outlines blurred to emphasize the distance of the hills.

Wait until the ocean area is completely dry before you begin painting the waves and ripples in the water. To create depth in the image, strokes in the foreground should be larger and brighter than when drawing distant objects.

Step 5: Draw the Boats

Using medium and small brushes, paint the boats and people on them. To create an accent color, mix cadmium red and Venetian red paint. Don’t try to carefully draw people’s figures - a slightly careless image will look more natural.

You may want to add depth to the hills to make them stand out even more. You can also bring the foreground closer with a few extra strokes.

Now it's time to add the finishing touches where needed. Don't forget to draw some seagulls soaring in the sky to add more life to your composition.

In this world it is quite difficult to imagine anything more romantic than a sailboat sailing alone on the waves towards the unknown. Of course, traveling by sea is romantic in itself, but a sailboat is simply the pinnacle of all romantic dreams.

We dream of sailboats from early childhood, reading Jack London, Vladislav Krapivin or Jules Verne. But sailing even on a tiny sailing yacht will definitely not leave an adult indifferent. When a large real sailboat with several masts and a full set of straight and oblique sails appears on the horizon, it is simply breathtaking.

Long before the Titanic sank to the seabed, people mostly moved on water on ordinary boards with sheets attached. The unique tradition of sending sheets into the sea has remained to this day, albeit as entertainment. Nevertheless, the topic is interesting, so in today's lesson you will see how to correctly draw a sailboat with a pencil. A sailboat is a watercraft that uses wind power to move. Brilliant and simply angry and cheap, but in complete calm it is extremely inconvenient.

The whole truth about life:
— A sailfish is also a fish that lived among ships for a long time and its upper fin simply mutated into a sheet.
“The best way to catch the proverbial seasickness is to run backwards on the deck during a storm.”
— Black labor appeared when the first ships sailed to the shores of Africa. There were real problems with the wind, but the ship still had to move. Therefore, the peoples of Africa were given oars and the meaning of life.
— A sailboat usually does not float on land, but when it does, we can expect a lot of casualties among civilians.

Drawing a sailboat is easier than building or buying, but it will still look beautiful.

In this master class, we will learn together how to draw the sea in gouache with a sailboat. So, the drawing technique is gouache.

Haven't held a brush in your hands since school? It doesn't mean anything at all. Gouache drawings are a great start for beginners.

Why this particular technique?
Gouache is the optimal material to start with.
First of all, it is very affordable and can be purchased virtually at every step (compared to acrylic or oil).

Secondly, the water base of this type of paint makes it possible to easily vary the thickness of the paint, the level of its application, as well as the formation of textures on the canvas.

Thirdly, the fact that gouache is a completely non-toxic paint is very important. Thus, gouache lessons are completely safe for children and people with certain diseases and various allergic reactions.

Fourthly, this paint quite flexibly combines some of the qualities of watercolor and, in some cases, even oil paints, therefore, painting with gouache will provide an opportunity to develop practical skills in other techniques.

The thick consistency of the paint allows you to layer different layers on top of each other, while painting light areas with darker ones or vice versa. This allows you to make many changes to the image before it dries. At the same time, it is also possible to blur the paint, diluting it with more transparent layers, which makes the drawing more realistic.

It is in connection with the important advantages described above that in this lesson we will use gouache paint.

Place the paper you are going to draw on vertically and divide it roughly in half. Let the top of the sheet be a little larger. Using a large brush, start painting the sky.

Use white gouache to draw a small moon. It is necessary to outline the border with a bright yellow color. You can also add a little orange.

While the gouache is still wet, add more dark color around the edges. To do this, simply mix black and blue paint on the palette.

Draw the outer edge of the clouds.

Mix blue, white and a little black paint. Add it to the clouds so that you get a very smooth transition from the light part near the moon.

From the inside of the picture, you should draw lighter clouds, since they reflect the light of the moon. While the paint is still wet, mixing colors is fairly easy. You can take a clean brush and use it to mix two colors in which you want to get an even and smooth transition.

For the stars, first mix some bluish paint on your palette and draw a small circle. When the paint is dry, use a thin brush to make a small dot of white paint.

Then you should carefully sketch out an image of a sailboat with a pencil.

We draw the sea with gouache step by step. The sea should first be painted over with uneven, long horizontal strokes, alternating dark blue, light blue and turquoise paint. In the foreground, paint a large wave with blue-green paint.

Continue drawing the sea. Use bright blue paint to paint small waves near the ship itself.

Use white gouache to paint highlights on the waves. Paint the sailboat with gouache. Please note that the sails should be drawn with a very smooth transition from blue to white, from left to right.

All that remains now is to paint small wings of foam on the waves, and also apply highlights of light with a thin brush. I sprayed the foam with gouache using a hard brush. First, it is better to practice on some piece of paper.

The result is a work like this - a sailboat sailing home through a mysterious moonlit night.

Drawing waves

We have already drawn the waves in the sailboat example, but we want you to look again step by step at how they are drawn.

In this photo tutorial we will look at a simple technique for drawing a seascape. This lesson is perfect for beginners, because the plot lacks precise drawings and complex constructions. The main task in drawing the sea is to harmoniously mix paints on wet paper and make a graduated wash for a realistic water effect.

So, prepare your workplace and take the necessary tools:

• watercolor paints;
• special paper for painting with watercolors;
• container with water;
• round synthetic or kolinsky brushes No. 5,3 and 4;
• pencil with eraser.

Drawing stages

Step 1. Start by creating a pencil sketch. Visually divide the sheet into 2/3 parts and draw a horizontal line at the top of the sheet. This way we have created a horizon line. Next, we finish drawing the coastline in the lower left corner.

Draw a big wave under the horizon line.

Below we create small waves.

The sketch is ready. We proceed to drawing with paint, but first we decolorize the rich outline of the drawing with an eraser.

Step 2. Fill the upper part of the sea (behind the big wave) with translucent ultramarine. We blur too clear contours with a wet brush.

Step 3. High waves transmit sunlight well, distorting the main color of the water, making it warmer, so we paint them with a greenish-turquoise tone. The base of the near wave is shaded with lemon diluted with a large amount of water. We leave the wave crests white for now.

Step 4. Fill the gaps between the waves with light ultramarine. Next, use yellow ocher to mark a piece of the breg in the lower left corner.

Step 5. Apply a shade of indigo to the tip of brush No. 3 and use it to mark the dark parts of the waves that form the ridges.

Step 6. The “wet” technique and graduated blur will help us make a realistic sky. We wet the sky area with water and, using a large brush and cobalt blue, begin to draw the sky and the outlines of the clouds.

Step 7. On the sand we draw stones and seaweed washed ashore. For a more interesting result, we recommend making a few splashes of brown to best convey the texture of the sandy shore.

Step 8. Add contrast to the pattern with more saturated shades of turquoise and ultramarine.
