In landscape sketching, various trees are often used as close-range or middle-range. Trees are the most difficult scenery to draw in landscape painting because of their complex shapes and simple colors.

so how to draw trees vividly, accurately and not mechanically? Beginners don't need to ask for more. First, choose one or two trees with distinctive shapes as sketching objects. The structure of a tree is trunk, branches and leaves. First, find out the relationship between its structure (branches and leaves), then separate the nearby leaves from the distant leaves, separate the light and shade in the direction of light source, separate the warmth and coldness of colors, and draw its color relationship.

Trees are not always conceptually green, and the colors of trees show different color changes due to different varieties and seasonal changes. Observe carefully to draw in place.

We usually observe the natural postures and individual characteristics generated in nature. Some trunks are tall and straight, which symbolize a heroic dancing and vigorous upward force, and some trunks are old and clumsy, which symbolize the accumulation of time and the vicissitudes of life. The small trees along the river are sparse and uneven, which shows that all kinds of trees in nature are endowed with a personality because of their varieties, shapes and growth laws. The shapes of trees can be roughly divided into two categories: first, those with thick trunks, large crowns and dense leaves, such as poplar, locust tree and paulownia; The other kind is thin, curved and sparse leaves.

As the former is flourishing, the leaves of the main branches can be divided into several clumps when painting, and they can be painted in groups according to their color relationship, paying attention to the overall reality, and flexibly drawing the shape characteristics of the tree with the staggered structure and the growth direction. A tree with sparse branches should pay attention to its loose shape. The trunk can be lined with the sky or distant view, and the trunk and branches of the tree can also be explained through sparse leaves. Attention should be paid to using a pen to draw leaves. This kind of tree can be properly summarized and summarized because of the complicated insertion of branches before and after and the complicated relationship between branches and leaves, so as to better express the shape and vitality of the tree.

The trunks of ancient Sophora japonica and pine trees are rough and hard, so the pen should be steady and powerful. The light receiving part can paint dry or thick, and the brush strokes are exposed. The colors are simple, thick and not gorgeous. Poplar, willow, birch, with its shape growth direction, with a pen, easily draw a poetic arrangement.

Nature endows trees with various colors, which becomes the source of inspiration for landscape painting. The pale green of pine and cypress, even in winter, makes people feel that it is pregnant with a kind of life force; Autumn red leaves are saturated in color, which makes people feel that ready-made pigments can't show its intensity; The bright green leaves in the backlight, the messy trees in the wind and rain, and the tranquility of trees in the moonlight are all rich materials for landscape sketch.

Extended data

Draw the main features with simple lines, which should be "simple" and vivid. We must delete the details, highlight the main features and simplify the complex image.

Simplify complex images. Physical structure is the most basic element of painting. All kinds of objects have their own unique composition factors, structural situation and proportional relationship. It is relatively simple to express a two-dimensional plane structure with a flat stick figure.

select the angle and display the structural features. Grasp the details and highlight the personality characteristics.
