To finish off your snowy landscape, you can splatter some white tempera snow on top of the whole scene.
Think about where the snow would land on a tree on the very top and along the tops of the branches. Start with the trees in the far section, then move forward. Use white paint and downward brush strokes to add snow to the tree branches. You can add a dark shadow to the trunk of the closest tree to give it some detail. The shadows should all go the same direction. Use blue paint to make some long shadows underneath the trees in the snow. You can even add some of the trunk that is visible between the branches. TIP: If you’re breaking this lesson up into two sections, this is a great place to stop for the first session to let everything dry.Īdd tree trunks with brown paint. The tree in the near section will be the tallest, darkest and most detailed. Start near the top of the paper and make a large tree that extends from the top to the bottom of the page. These trees will be taller and darker than the trees in the background because they are closer.įor the here section, add a tiny bit of black to your paintbrush to darken the green, since it is the closest tree. Paint solid green trees, starting from the top and moving down in a triangular shape. These trees are the furthest away, so they’ll be the lightest in value and have the least detail.
Add downward strokes to give the trees some branches. Use light green paint, made by adding in lots of white to your green, to paint small triangular pine trees in the far section of your landscape, near the top of the page. Paint the middle section.Īdd even more blue to paint the farthest section. Use pure white paint for the snow that is closest to you at the bottom of the paper.Īdd a bit of blue to your paint to darken it slightly. Use a white chalk pastel to draw three horizontal lines across your paper one for the here section, one for near and one for far.Īdd some white clouds in the sky and blend them out with one finger. Just add your name and email and we’ll send it straight to you!

If your students have never seen snow before, I would encourage you to show them a few examples from the Group of Seven before you begin. This lesson is based on the snowy landscapes created by the Group of Seven, a group of painters who used the Canadian landscape as inspiration for their artwork, launching the first major Canadian national art movement. Objects in the middle are in the middle ground, which isn’t here or far, but somewhere in-between. As you move toward the top of the paper where objects are farther away, they become lighter, smaller and have less detail. Objects that are here appear darker, larger and more detailed and are closer to the bottom of the paper. One of those concepts is atmospheric perspective, or using value to create depth in a landscape.įor second and third grade students, I introduce the concept of atmospheric perspective by teaching them here, near and far. One of my favorite things to teach children is landscape because it involves concepts that they see often, but may have never really thought about before.
