How to draw a birch tree with a pencil and paints - easy step-by-step instructions for a child

Stages of drawing a birch tree for beginners

For the lesson, it is enough to prepare a landscape sheet, a simple medium-hard pencil and an eraser.

It is recommended to draw a lonely birch tree on a sheet located vertically. Then it is not difficult to place it entirely. If several trees are depicted, then the leaf can lie both vertically and horizontally.

For children, before drawing a birch tree, the lesson begins with determining its place on the sheet. So that the tree does not look torn from the ground, the same distance is removed from the upper and lower edges of the leaf. The same should be done with the side borders.

For a beginning artist, step-by-step progression will make the task easy.

1. Work begins with drawing a birch trunk.

It does not prevent children and adults from remembering that a birch tree is always compared to a slender girl. Therefore, the table cannot be too thick. But still it is thicker at the bottom and tapers towards the top. Moreover, the peculiarity of birch is the bifurcation of the top of the birch.

2. Any tree has longer lower branches. They are thicker than the top ones. From the middle of the trunk to the crown, the branches are drawn evenly. Then the birch will be harmonious.

The trunk with the main branches is depicted first. Thin branches are already being drawn onto them. The top ones are directed towards the sun. And the lower they are, the more the branches smoothly fall down. They are said to have a weeping shape. The more small branches, the fluffier the birch will be.

3. The stains characteristic of birch are applied directly to the trunk. The lower first three main branches are decorated with small dash stripes.

It is also important for an artist to be observant. This quality will tell you how to correctly draw birch bark on the branches and trunk. If its trunk is white, then its branches are dark. To color them, a dark brown color is chosen. On the tree, the branches are not located strictly on the sides. Their image around the trunk will make the drawing more realistic.

Winter birch

For winter, a drawing of a birch tree without leaves will be taken as the basis for coloring. There are many options for how to paint a winter birch tree. The simplest one is using a wax candle. To ensure that the wax is applied well to the entire image, small branches are not drawn too small.

1. With strong pressure on the candle, outline the trunk and all branches.

Wax lines on the sheet are visible at a certain angle. This will help you not miss a single branch. Snowflakes in the air and snowdrifts under a tree are drawn with wax.

2. Before you start painting with watercolors using the wet-wet technique, the entire sheet is moistened with water. To do this, use either a wide brush or foam rubber.

3. The entire sheet is filled with paints, moving down in multi-colored horizontal lines. By making smooth transitions from one color to another from top to bottom, it is possible to convey the color of the sky and dawn. At the same time, a snow-covered birch tree appears on the sheet. Children of any age are interested in watching this trick.

How to draw a birch

How to draw a birch? Even if you are a complete beginner artist, this will not be a problem, because you have a good and simple step-by-step drawing lesson from LessDraw. If you have already prepared everything you need for drawing (in our case, a pencil, an eraser, plain white paper and some materials for coloring the picture, for example, paints or colored pencils), then you can safely begin! You will definitely succeed.

First, let's draw a birch trunk, leaving a little space at the top and bottom. We try to make the lines neat and beautiful, and if something doesn’t work out, we correct ourselves with an eraser. Notice how slender the trunk of such a tree is - like a birch, it is not at all similar to the trunk of, for example, an oak. We make a smooth bend and a gradual narrowing towards the top.

Now we need to add additional branches. The lower the birch branches, the longer. Notice how they curve sharply towards the tip. Add the required number of branches and at the same time make sure that even at this stage the birch tree looks harmonious.

At this stage I make a few strokes, these will be the outlines of the crown. Next, I will erase these lines; I need them to build the shape of the crown and the overall volume.

Throughout this area, from the main branches we draw additional ones. They have the shape of a wave, several come from one branch at once and they are all of different lengths. As a result, you should end up with something like this.

Now we remove the extra lines and start coloring the trunk. A distinctive feature of birch is dark spots on the bark, and we definitely need to take this point into account in the drawing process. If you are planning to draw a winter birch, then you can stop at this stage - all that remains is to just finish drawing the bluish snow, landscape and get rid of unnecessary strokes. We will continue to draw.

Next, draw leaves on each branch separately. We started drawing birch leaves from below. You can use different shades of green, then the drawing will look very lively and healthy.

Gradually fill the birch branches with leaves. Try to draw leaves of approximately the same size; they may become only a little smaller than the standard ones at the ends of the branches.

Step by step we fill the entire crown. Birch leaves can also be drawn on top of the trunk, if some branches cross it, and behind it.

That’s all, as you can see, it’s very easy to draw a beautiful birch tree without any special skills, even a child can do it! The process is quite fast; you can complete it in 10-30 minutes, depending on your experience and materials used. Be sure to send your birch drawings in the comments!

Birch in summer

Summer birch is drawn with green leaves of different shades.

In reality, they do not differ from each other in size and shape. Long yellow earrings will add truthfulness to the picture.

Judging by the leaves drawn with an inclination in one direction, it is immediately clear that a birch tree is depicted in windy weather. The artist also tilts thin branches in the same direction. One side of the trunk is shaded to make the drawing more realistic.

Green birch looks beautiful against the backdrop of a mountain landscape, next to a river, a forest, or in a clearing with different flowers.

A painting with a swing on a birch tree, with children playing and a blue sky, as a symbol of peaceful life on earth.

Birch leaves

For autumn birch, the leaves are painted bright yellow and yellow-green. Lemon and light brown leaves are found. The picture will be enlivened by a hedgehog on the yellow grass under a tree and a clearing of growing boletus mushrooms.

Before you put your idea on paper, you need to figure out how to draw a birch leaf step by step.

The drop shape is taken as a template for drawing a birch leaf. A center line is drawn in the center.
In reality, the edges of the sheet have sharp teeth. They are applied along the contour of the drop, without strictly observing the symmetry of their pattern on the left and right sides. Veins run from the center line to the edges.
The veins and teeth in the drawing should not be thick, but noticeable. A black pen is used to draw them.
The middle of the leaf is painted yellow with a smooth transition to a salad shade before reaching the teeth.
The strip closer to the teeth and the areas between the veins are painted green.
The outline on the outside of the leaf and the veins are reinforced in the drawing with a black marker.

The image of one leaf is ready.

Image of a birch branch with leaves

After it is clear how to draw one birch leaf, it is not difficult to move on to the image of its branch.

In the figure, one of the branches with small branches is selected.
Several leaves and buds are added, as a decoration characteristic only of birch.
The contours of the leaves are drawn with sharp teeth. The buds have their own texture.
A black pen emphasizes the shapes of the leaves and the veins on them. The kidneys are not left unattended either.
At this stage, the leaves and buds are painted in shades of green and yellow.
To make the drawing more expressive, the teeth, veins and contours of the buds are re-drawn with a black marker.

Now you can cover the entire tree with leaves and decorate it with earrings.

A simple way to draw a birch tree with gouache

It is difficult for children to cope with gouache at first. The drawing of a birch especially requires accuracy, because the trunk must remain white.

Three strips of tape are glued onto a sheet of paper at an angle without much effort.
The colors of the sky and dawn are applied to the sheet. Green, yellow, and orange spots imitating leaves are dotted around the stripes. The lower edge of the leaf is painted dark green.
The tape is removed and white stripes appear on the leaf, which will be the basis for the birch trunk.
The plastic paint edge is painted black. Without allowing it to dry out, black stripes characteristic of birch are drawn along the entire trunk.
Small twigs are applied with a thin brush. The splendor of the tree depends on their number.
