We draw Easter by our own hands: Step-by-step instruction

  1. Let's start with drawing the outlines of the Easter cake. It is Easter that will become the main object of the composition, which we will complement with other festive elements to create a multi-faceted still life. With a simple pencil, we paint the contours of Easter.
  2. Add a ribbon and a small flower - so our cake will be more voluminous and interesting.

  3. Now draw the contours of the towel, which is Easter. We still work exclusively with a simple pencil. The strokes are thin and smooth.

  4. We draw several Easter eggs to finally get a beautiful, bright and holistic holiday picture of the pascha.

  5. To make our painted Easter seem even bigger and more natural, we'll draw a bouquet of spring twigs in the background.

  6. Now, take a soft eraser and lightly walk across the entire surface of the Easter pattern to remove the extra strokes of the pencil. And immediately go to work with watercolor. We paint the base of Easter with golden ocher color.

  7. Wait until the first layer dries and apply the next, with a dilute ocher water slightly zatoniruem and the cap Easter cake.

  8. We make a shadow on Easter with the help of the burnt umber color. On the cap we paint bright dots with a carmine tint.

  9. The same carmine, but already diluted with water, shade the ribbon. We will color the flower with ultramarine watercolor. Again, we cast a shadow on Easter.

  10. Let's turn to the background coloring: the upper part of the picture is filled with blue watercolor, and the bottom part with a towel is a mixture of blue and aquamarine shades.

  11. We continue to work with the background and color a bouquet of twigs and eggs, krasanka.

  12. Fill the remaining voids with the appropriate shades. We let the still-life dry up. Next, a ready-made Easter pattern can be made in a frame or paste on a cardboard for a postcard.
