A landscape scene is easy when you draw it in layers: the sky and sun at the back, then mountains, a river and trees in front.

Step-by-Step: Drawing a Scenery

Step 1: Draw the horizon

Draw a wavy line across the middle of the page. Everything above it is sky.

Step 2: Add the mountains

Draw two or three triangles above the horizon, overlapping each other. Give the tallest one a snow cap.

Step 3: Draw the sun

In the sky, draw a circle with short lines around it for rays.

Step 4: Add the clouds

Draw a few puffy clouds made of overlapping curves.

Step 5: Draw the river

From the bottom of the page, draw a winding path that gets narrower as it goes back toward the mountains.

Step 6: Add the trees

On each side of the river, draw trees with brown trunks and round green tops. Make the farther ones smaller.

Step 7: Add the grass and flowers

Fill the foreground with grass strokes and a few flowers.

Step 8: Outline and erase

Trace with a marker and erase the pencil.

Colouring Your Scenery

Use light blue for the sky, grey and white for the mountains, and blue for the river. The trees and grass are green, and the sun is yellow.

Tips for Drawing a Scenery

  • Draw things that are far away smaller and paler than things that are close.
  • Overlap the shapes so they look layered.
