Easy How to Draw a Landscape Tutorial and Landscape Coloring Page
Below you’ll find an easy step-by-step tutorial for how to draw a Landscape and a Landscape Coloring Page. This one includes a simple fore, middle and background which adds more depth to your drawing.
Once students have mastered drawing houses and roads and hills, they can start to arrange all those elements in a way that adds some visual space to their art. (Space, by the way, is one of the Elements of Art.)
If you get students to think of landscapes has having a foreground, middle ground, and background, they can decide which shapes are in front of the others, and draw them accordingly.
Keeping those layers extra simple in the beginning will help, and this drawing with a clear front road layer, middle house layer, and the back hill layer are easy to see and understand. It basically is just using Lines and Shapes (more Elements of Art!) to create Space, and later students can learn how to add shading for even more depth.
