Children's drawings on the theme of winter
Children have a very rich imagination, and every child can draw anything. This is why it is so important to give your child drawing tools to see how he imagines this or that season.
Easy drawings on the theme of winter
To show winter, you can depict white hills, Christmas trees in the snow, flying snowflakes. The sky is darker than in summer. White dots can be used to represent flying snowflakes.
It is necessary to paint the winter season and holidays with the brightest colors - bright blue sky, white snow, colorful toys on Christmas trees.
Every child can draw a simple tree on a background of blue paper. Using white paints, depict snow on the branches and snowflakes falling from the sky.
For the little ones, you can offer the option of drawing with your palm.
It is impossible to imagine winter without red-sided bullfinches. They sit on branches, near feeders and on window sills.
Also, the baby’s palm can help in depicting a tree.
Children can depict a Christmas tree, a snowman, and also remember how they had fun during the day on slides and sleds.
Step-by-step gouache drawing on the theme Winter
The ability to draw does not come to a child from the first days. They cannot create entire images that they see around them. In this case, you need to help him and push him. Show a version of the drawing that is created step by step.
In this drawing we will use an unusual technique, and children will really like it. After autumn crafts at home, you will probably find a couple of dried leaves.
The white leaf must be painted with blue paints mixed with white and blue. Using a large, thick brush, paint the background of the leaf in horizontal stripes.
Using the same thick brush, paint the snowdrifts.
When the paint is dry, paint the stars with a thin brush using white paint.
Draw silhouettes of houses and fences. Choose a suitable autumn leaf and cover it with white gouache. To get a beautiful effect, you need to apply the paint with an almost dry brush and not on a full leaf. Then we will get an uneven effect.
The leaf must be applied carefully, without pressing down completely. After that, all that remains is to draw the details - snow on the roofs of houses, on fences. The snowy effect can be achieved using splashes - wet a brush in diluted white paint and make a few blobs on the paper.
Beautiful drawings on the theme of winter
On these magical winter days, everything around is covered with fluffy snow. Therefore, to depict winter, stock up on light blue and blue tones. To draw a beautiful winter, prepare a sheet of paper.
We draw the background - the lower part with blue and white stains, and the top with red ones. Draw the hills on the lower part first. At the top we will show the sunset - using fiery colors we will paint the upper part of the sheet of paper.
Draw some trees. They are depicted as large sticks, and underneath them are shadows of a lighter tone. The trees should have branches on which you paint snow with white paint.
You can show Christmas trees on the hills.
You can beautifully depict winter in other ways.
Making crafts: pleasant gatherings
Winter illustration:
For such a simple craft, we will need a sheet of cardboard, glue, colored and plain paper, and gouache. Cut out a branch from brown paper. We paint snow on it with white gouache. Dip your palm into red paint and press it horizontally to the sheet. All that remains is to add the eyes, beak and legs. Cut out small snowflakes and glue them.
Another simple craft:
Available materials: cardboard, colored paper, cotton wool, cotton pads. Glue the disks on top of each other to make a snowman. We cut out all the necessary details for its decoration from paper. Glue brown tree trunks and a broom onto the leaf. Then we deal only with cotton wool. Tear off small pieces and fluff them up. These will be snowdrifts. Then roll into large balls - this is the crown of the trees. Smaller balls - Christmas tree. The smallest lumps are falling snow.
Winter sports: children's drawings
During the winter season, there are many sports that children especially love. To draw one of them, you need to be able to depict a person in motion.
For a child, it is enough to start with being able to schematically depict a person.
When you color this drawing with paints, the sketchy man will take on a more real appearance.
Children love to skate: girls are fond of figure skating, and boys love to play hockey.
An important point when drawing is to take into account the correct depiction of the characteristic signs of movement. Don't forget about the attributes of each costume.
Hockey players have quite complex costumes to portray and it is important to take into account every little detail.
Works worthy of the competition
We have selected examples of drawings about winter with which your child will be able to win the competition. The implementation techniques were presented above.
Winter pencil drawings for sketching
We all have our own associations, but winter has the same synonyms for everyone - snow, small flying snowflakes, cold, snowmen and spruce trees, as well as winter entertainment. It is unrealistic to depict all this on one piece of paper, so you need to decide on the theme of the drawing. If you don’t want to think or don’t have enough imagination, then you can use drawings for sketching.
You can draw a winter landscape with paints, pencils and felt-tip pens. Painting is the easiest and fastest option. If you draw with pencils, you will have to depict a lot of details in order for the drawing to be worthy of attention. Before you start, come up with a plot for the drawing - what will be located on it, and in what part of the sheet. First you need to schematically depict the location of all the elements of the drawing, and then proceed to detailing.
Beauty - you can't take your eyes off it
Finally, we would like to show you beautiful painted, talented children’s portraits of winter:
We wish you success in all your creative endeavors! Let winter be remembered with a wonderful design.
Winter landscape: children's drawings
To help your child draw a landscape, draw his attention to the trees, snow, and ground while walking. Show what colors are inherent in the sky, clouds, and earth. The ground is not necessarily covered with white snow; the ground cover has several shades. Teach your child to pay attention to little things and then his drawings will be more realistic.
The older the children, the more small details they can depict.
Winter landscapes are very different from summer ones; they have some kind of mystery and charm. It doesn’t take much effort or skill to show winter on a piece of paper. But this activity helps develop creative thinking and imagination. Winter nature is prone to changes, and you can notice them to depict them on a sheet.
Winter landscape: pencil drawing step by step
The main colors of the winter pattern are blue, blue, and white. Pencils can be used to show finer details. Trees are usually depicted with a dark trunk and branches with bluish snow on them.
To draw such a landscape, we will need:
- Colour pencils
- Eraser
- Simple pencil
- White sheet of paper
We draw snowdrifts and the outline of a thick oak tree with large branches.
Near the oak tree we will draw three circles of different sizes that will represent a snowman.
We give the snowman a personality - we draw eyes, a mouth and a nose. Let's depict his hands in the form of sticks with twigs.
You can draw a bird feeder on a tree, and we’ll show another bird on a branch.
Stepping back a little from the snowman, let’s draw a triangle, which will then grow into a Christmas tree.
Next, draw branches on the Christmas tree and a bullfinch on top of the branch.
In the background we depict Christmas trees in the distance.
Now you can erase the auxiliary lines and draw the main ones
Let's color the branches of the Christmas tree green, and show a snowball on top with blue.
We will depict the tree trunk in brown, and we will show the snow in blue and blue colors.
On the oak tree, be sure to depict the veins in a darker color than the entire trunk was painted.
Painting a winter landscape with paints
The winter forest plays with different colors - from light blue to dark blue. At night, nature looks especially gorgeous in winter. Moonlight falls very beautifully on the snow cover.
You can paint such a landscape with watercolors.
You can draw a gouache forest in a few steps, which are not as difficult as it might seem. When you look at the finished landscape, you don’t understand how you can depict shadows, mountains, snow and sunset like that. But with step-by-step explanations everything will be much easier.

Using pencils or paints, you can draw a winter tree.
Kids can draw a simple tree and create imitation snowflakes with white paint
Winter trees can be depicted in different ways. For this you can use brown, blue, and purple with admixtures of white.
Differences from other seasons
You can often hear children say that if snow has fallen, then winter has already come. But in fact, this symptom occurs both in late autumn and early spring. It is important to emphasize that snow alone does not indicate the onset of winter.
We can talk about a change of season when 5 signs coincide:
- dense, low-hanging clouds, gloomy sky;
- a blanket of snow and ice on the ground and trees;
- short daylight hours;
- hibernation of wildlife;
- appearance of “winter” birds.
Winter forest: drawing for school
Winter days have arrived, but there is no snow outside yet, don’t be upset. Draw beautiful fairy weather with your own hands. The winter forest plays with magical colors. Transfer your dreams of walking along snowy paths onto a piece of paper. You can draw winter weather with pencils and paints.
Pencil drawing of a winter forest
Drawing winter is a lot of fun. You can use craft paper for this; the drawing will look more interesting on it. White ink will look more attractive on this paper. Before drawing, it is important to decide what will be shown in the picture.
Tip: Use a quality eraser to avoid leaving streaks and stains after erasing unnecessary lines.
To show winter, it is enough to draw trees without leaves and do not forget to cover them with a thin white veil. For the sky you need to use darker tones of blue and cyan. This is also necessary for this. To make white snow look more contrasting.
First of all, you need to decide on the horizon. Determine the center of your painting and draw three hills.
On the first hill on the left we draw three Christmas trees, and on the right only one. We do this using simple lines.
In the background you need to depict a house. It is depicted by two figures - a cube and a triangle.
On the third hill we will draw bushes and several trees with simple lines.
On each tree and bush it is necessary to draw branches. Draw a door and a window on the house, and draw snow on the roof. Show the path from the door of the house. There will be a thin layer of snow on the branches. To color the Christmas trees, you need green pencils of two shades.
We will paint the snow with a light blue pencil. It should be on the branches and roof of the house. Let's paint the hills blue. We will use brown and black to depict the branches on which the snowball will also lie. Complete the small details of the house.
Winter forest: gouache drawing
If winter doesn’t come to you, then you can speed up its appearance with beautiful snow designs. Prepare gouache and a white sheet of paper.
The first step is to cover a sheet of paper with white gouache.
Use blue paint to outline the horizon line and sky, as well as the foreground.
To outline the future composition with a darker blue color, you need to outline the trees in the background and snowdrifts in the foreground
Next we will work on the trees and other elements. Apply highlights with white paint.
Try the winter forest option at night. For this work, use gouache.
Use dark colors – purple and blue – to paint the main background, add a little brown.
Let's add a little black at the top. We apply it on top of the first layer at the top of the picture. We paint the background with dark blue paint. We make transitions smooth by mixing shades.
We paint the bottom of the leaf light blue. We draw the silhouette of the Christmas trees with black paint. We will draw three Christmas trees in total.
Below we will tint the tree with purple, and we will also show the shadows with the same paint. Using white paint we will draw a round moon in the sky and snow on the Christmas trees.
Duplicate the snow on the Christmas trees again on top of the first layer of white paint. Also paint dotted stars on the sky with white paint.
Drawing on the theme Winter's Tale
What every child hears in the words New Year or Christmas is a fairy tale and magic. And they really love to realize their dreams and expectations on paper. Such a holiday will definitely not pass by educators and teachers. They try to transform every opportunity into something useful, so the winter fairy tale drawing competition can be found in every educational institution on the eve of the New Year holidays. If you don’t have enough imagination, you can use ready-made drawing ideas.
A winter fairy tale drawing can be drawn with paints or pencils and can depict the dreams and hopes of a child. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to the composition and perhaps you will see in it a hint about how a child dreams of celebrating Christmas and what to receive as a gift from Santa Claus.
How to observe changes in nature with children?
To make the story about the distinctive features of winter interesting and memorable for children, it is important to use live examples, visuals, and various game tasks. As the season approaches, it can be helpful to visit familiar places and ask your child what they think has changed:
- How have the trees changed? (bared, foliage disappeared)
- How has the earth changed? (became cold, hard)
- How does the sun warm? (it lights up, but doesn’t heat up)
- What are the clouds like? (gray, low)
- What's missing? (insects, some birds, flowers)
- Have new birds appeared? Which? (yes, bullfinches, redpolls, crossbills, tits, crows, rooks).
- What clothes did you wear here before, and what clothes did you wear now (T-shirts, shorts, and now a jacket, hat, mittens)
It is useful to keep a winter calendar with preschoolers in the preparatory group. Every day you need to note new signs you see. For example, on December 4 the rivers froze, on December 10 snow fell, on December 13 there was ice, on December 17 the child noticed a tit, etc.
The lesson will seem doubly interesting if you talk about folk winter signs, which in the old days were of great importance and passed on from generation to generation. They helped determine what the weather would be like in the spring in order to successfully sow the fields and get a rich harvest.
- A clear day on Christmas Eve (January 6) means a good harvest. The paths are black - buckwheat will be born. The starry sky - a berry year awaits.
- A full month on the night of Epiphany (from January 18 to 19) means a large flood of rivers in the spring.
- Blizzard on January 19 - will occur in 3 months. The day is warm - the bread will be thick.
