Image of an autumn tree. Choosing bright, beautiful plants for the autumn garden. Trees for the autumn garden

In this article we will share the experience of foreign gardeners and talk about how to make your garden dazzling with the brightest autumn colors. Many gardeners prefer autumn to all other seasons. By this time, the summer heat and humidity have faded, pesky insects have disappeared, and the leaves of many plants paint the landscape with bold strokes of red, yellow, orange and purple.

Where to begin?

Using the right approach, you can create a stunning autumn garden that will easily compete green leaves and colorful spring flowers.

To select plants for planting, visit your local nursery with pen, paper and camera. Take notes, take pictures and ask key questions:

• does the plant produce colorful berries in winter;
• will it attract birds;
• what it looks like at other times of the year.

So you can choose best option specifically for your site.

Trees for the autumn garden

When thinking of vibrant foliage color, northern red oak (Quercus rubra) and sugar maple (Acer saccharum) immediately come to mind, with their mixed palettes of rich, flaming colors.

If you don't have room for these big trees, which can grow to a height of more than 18 meters, there are many smaller ones that are no less beautiful. Irga Autumn Diamond (variety Amelanchier x grandiflora) reaches only 6 m and is distinguished by its bright red autumn foliage. In early spring white flowers bloom on it, and later sweet, edible berries appear.

Derain kousa (Cornus kousa) grows up to 8 m and wears a reddish-purple autumn dress.
The four-meter Japanese maple "Sherwood Flame" (variety Acer palmatum) is a real picture of scarlet flowers.

Shrubs for the autumn garden

Shrubs are the basis for the exhibition, since they fill the lower tier and are colorful with the most different colors. Red sumac (Rhus coriaria) would be a great option.

(Vaccinium corymbosum) also looks very attractive, its crown rises to a height of up to 4 m. In addition to the hardy bright red autumn leaves, you will enjoy her whites spring flowers, painted in pink tint and amazing delicious juicy berries.

Chokeberries feature vibrant orange-red fall foliage. However, it also looks attractive in the spring with its white flowers, and bears red fruits in the summer.

Ginkgo is an elegant, ancient variety that turns golden yellow in the fall.

Witch hazel is an ideal fall shrub. During this period, it sparkles yellow thanks to its lush foliage and cobweb-like flowers.

The colorful autumn palette is not limited to trees and shrubs. Many types of vines and varieties of ground covers, perennials and ornamental grasses– all of which will contribute to the variety of unique textures and tones of your garden plot. Creating a unique autumn garden is not difficult at all. Just take the time to prepare and plan and let your imagination run wild.

Master class on non-traditional drawing techniques "Autumn Trees"

For work you will need: sheets thick paper for painting, gouache paints, squirrel brushes, bristle brushes, wax crayons Brown, cotton pads, clothespins, 1/4, 1/2 sheet size office paper, jars of water, cocktail straws.

At the first stage it is necessary to tint sheets of paper for the background of the picture. This can be done in several ways.

1. Completely wet a sheet of paper in water and place it on a newspaper. Then apply strokes (sky, earth, grass) to the paper with a squirrel brush using watercolor or gouache paints of the desired color. The paint will spread all over the sheet. Let it dry and preferably put the sheet under a press.

2. Wet two sheets of paper in water and place them on the newspaper. Apply thick strokes to one sheet of paint of the desired color (sky, earth, grass) and immediately cover with a second sheet. Smooth it out with your palms and then remove the top sheet of paper. You will get two identical prints. Allow to dry and press.

3. The background can be made by simply tinting a sheet of paper with colored pencils.

At the second stage draw a tree trunk. The trunk can also be drawn in different ways.

1. Using the blotography technique - blowing through a tube. To do this, place a large drop (blot) at the bottom of a sheet of paper - where the tree trunk will begin. And using a cocktail straw, we blow it up and to the sides until we get the desired result.

2. Draw a tree trunk with wax crayons

At the third stage- draw foliage. Tree foliage can be drawn in the following ways:

1. Using crumpled paper. Crumple a small piece of paper thoroughly into a ball and dip one side of it in gouache (diluted to the thickness of sour cream), first of one color - make imprints - the foliage of a tree. Then take paint of a different color.

2. Using a cotton pad and clothespin. Fold the cotton pad several times, grab the sharp corner with a clothespin, draw paint of the desired color and make prints on the sheet depicting foliage.

3. Using a hard, semi-dry bristle brush using the “poke” (stuffing) technique. We apply strokes of the desired color using vertical movements of the hand with a brush (up and down) on the paper, depicting foliage on a tree and on the ground.

4. Using the side stroke method. Put paint of the required color on the brush and paint the leaves using the dipping method.

5. Using a “poke” tube or your fingers.

Summary of an open lesson on drawing in non-traditional techniques in the preparatory group “The Kingdom of the Mistress of Winter” SP MBOU "Secondary School No. 2 of Kalininsk, Saratov Region" Kindergarten "Pochemuchka" SYNOPSIS OF AN OPEN DRAWING CLASS IN THE PREPARATORY ROOM.

Autumn is a wonderful time when the leaves of the trees turn bright colors. Today the guys and I made several autumn trees. For the first one.

(for decorating a group or hall) I would like to bring to your attention a master class “Autumn Trees” made from scrap materials. Executed.

Program content: Improve children's knowledge about seasonal changes in nature associated with in winter. Practice selection.

Even small children can draw a tree using the “poke” method. The master class is conducted by Vera Parfentyeva, a reader of “Native Path”, a technology teacher, and the head of an art club for children. preschool age, participant of our Internet Workshop of educational games “Through the game - to success!”

To draw a tree using the poke method you will need:

- gouache paints,

- brushes No. 2, No. 4,

- white watercolor paper A 4.

We will paint this tree immediately with paints without first drawing the outline. The crown of the tree will consist of 3 tiers different sizes. We will draw it as follows.

Step by step description of drawing a tree

Step 1:

In the center of the upper part of the sheet of paper, using a brush No. 4 with yellow paint, draw a dotted outline in the form of a cloud. upper tier tree crowns. The brush must be held vertically. You need to paint with the tip of the brush, making “pokes”. Then, inside the contour using the “poke” method, we will paint over this tier.

Step 2: Stepping back from the first tier down approximately 1 - 1.5 centimeters, as in the first point, we draw the second tier of the crown a little pointwise bigger size than the first one. I say approximate because the size of each tier will be completely different for everyone. Therefore, every little artist will orient himself in size relative to the sheet. The contour should not be perfectly smooth and symmetrical along the edges relative to the center.

Step 3: Similar to the previous points, inside the contour using the “poke” method, paint over the second tier and draw the third tier. Let's fill it inside the outline. Make sure that the brush is always directed vertically.

Step 4: On all three tiers autumn tree Apply dotted orange paint. We apply orange paint mostly on the left side in the lower part of the crown, creating darker spots, because Let's conditionally choose the lighting on the right. That's why right part should be lighter than the left one.

Step 5: Using the “poke” method, we’ll paint the grass under the tree first with yellow paint, then with orange.

Step 6: To source No. 2, use brown paint to draw a trunk between the tiers. Moreover, it is better to draw it from the bottom up, since the tree grows, gradually narrowing the trunk towards the upper small tier. It is advisable to take paint in two shades: dark and lighter. Then the texture of the bark will stand out on the trunk. Let's draw the branches.

Step 7: Since we conventionally assumed that the light falls on the tree from the right, we will add thin lines along the trunk on the right side with yellow paint.

I would like to add that the children coped with the task different ages. Some completed the drawing of an autumn tree entirely on their own. For others, I helped them first draw on the outline and trunk with a pencil.
