Drawing the autumn landscape will give you pleasure. This method has no framework for imagination and creativity. For your convenience, the article will contain photos that will clearly show how to draw an autumn landscape.

Before you begin to work, decide on a range of colors. Since we are drawing autumn, the main colors will be yellow, orange, brown and red. We need a little blue for the sky and a dark brown paint for the branches of the trees.

Step 1

Put a sheet of paper in front of you. Dilute a little color on the palette, grab the paint with a sponge and apply lightly on the paper. A little orange, a little blue, etc.

If you have a photo or another picture before you, periodically leave the work and squint your eyes to compare color spots. At this stage, apply the paint very lightly, it should be strongly diluted with water, but do not drip from the sponge.

Step 2

Allow the paper to dry a little. This stage is that you are applying a second layer of paints. But not over the entire surface of the leaf, but pay more attention to the foliage. Do not touch the blue sky anymore.

Step 3

Now make sponge color accents in three to four places. For this, the paint needs to be taken in a more intense color.

Step 4

It's time to brush. Draw a brown paint on the branches of the trees. They should, as it were, peer through the autumn foliage.

Of course, you can draw an autumn landscape with a pencil, and only then "walk" in colors. But this method is good because you create a picture with the help of color spots. Here your fantasy is included in the work, and you just improvise on the topic of autumn.

Now you know the original way of how to draw an autumn landscape. And the value of this method is not in the ability to draw a landscape, but in the ability to paint with color spots.
