I'll paint an autumn still life...

Autumn, autumn! How many colors you have collected in yourself, but from them you have become even more beautiful. Although you start to lose your beautiful outfit and we look at it with sadness, but you still attract our eyes. We follow the swirling and falling leaves and see how the last flowers of autumn are gradually withering. And yet your portrait, the portrait of autumn, retains tenderness, charm and warmth.

Autumn exquisite gamma:
Velvet yellow, red asters bouquet
Framed by me in a golden frame -
Like a gentle autumn portrait.

Radiance comes from the bouquet
With the imprinted charm of warmth.
Oh, how much feeling, grace, light
Autumn serene wove into them!

Frozen in a massive brown vase,
They are graceful, fragile and tender,
To itself riveting our gaze at once,
In the autumn we are thrown over the days.

They have beauty, married with sadness,
Fills us with purity of heart,
And so light, wonderful, this feeling,
As a gift of Love from the immortal Creator...

(Elvira Gonik)

Floats like a whimsical snake

Above the old park, a flock of music.

Artist sitting on a bench

Autumn paints a still life.

The violin is sad about something nearby

And echoing the violin in unison

Near the concrete balustrade

The saxophone weeps angrily.

Carelessly casting a farewell glance,

Rustling withered leaves,

To the sound of sad music

Summer is fading away.

(Vasily Moroz)

I will collect a bouquet of autumn leaves,
In a crystal vase I will put it on the table,
Get watercolor, paper, brushes
And I will write an autumn still life.

I gently stroke with transparent strokes
Cheerful leaf - hello sun,
I will paint a rowan branch
In orange, the sunset is a bright color.

Glare plays merrily on the vase,
A pink dawn is knocking on the window,
Reminds me of autumn
Beautiful, delicate, sunny bouquet!

(T. Ezhkina)

Dina Belenko showed how she managed to create the photo "Autumn inside". She literally made it rain over the composition in a studio shooting. In fact, everything is quite simple. Coming from step by step instructions you will learn how to do it yourself.

Autumn inside

Autumn is the perfect season for still life photography. This is the season for colorful leaves, fiery orange persimmons, hot drinks, red apples, pumpkin soup and wild grapes. The finished still life is waiting for you at any nearby market and in the park.

Plus the weather is perfect! Even if you don't usually like bad weather, autumn rain is an exceptional source of inspiration. So let's add some autumn rain to still life photos and try to create something beautiful.

1. Props and equipment

The equipment you will need is very simple: still life objects (any signs of autumn that don't mind getting wet), a kitchen strainer, a small jar (like a coffee turret) and a solid, splash-proof backdrop.

You also need a large softbox, reflector, tripod and external flash.

2. Lighting

Dina wanted the lighting to look natural, so she took a large softbox (Westcott 43″ Apollo Orb) and placed it behind the background, slightly to the right of center.

Inside it is an ordinary flash. For shooting splashes, low power (1/8 to 1/128 power provides a short pulse that freezes the movement of liquid) and the RPT multiple flash mode are suitable.

On the left, she installed a reflector, and in the upper right corner, a small black panel to cut off some of the light in the frame.

3. Test

Pouring water through a strainer is a nice and easy way to create a rain effect. The flow will dissipate, and we will get small beautiful drops.

4. Shooting

If you are satisfied with the trial shot, it's time to complete the composition.

Dina Belenko started with the arrangement of relatively large objects (notebook, cup of tea), then moved on to smaller elements. Keep in mind that the water will probably make a little mess and change the composition a bit, so leave some room for raindrops and mess.

Now the rain in the studio! Pour water through a sieve and take a series of shots.

Be careful with electronic equipment.

5. Post-processing

Choose the photo you like the most. It is possible that he is already perfect. You can add a few drops in different places, adjust the colors and tweak the contrast. Ready! You have your own little autumn, which will last forever. It's quite simple.

still life with autumn leaves: three step by step master class for children, examples of children's work, creative tasks.

Still life with autumn leaves: three workshops for children

In this article you will find three options for such a still life with autumn leaves with children. preschool age in different execution techniques with examples of children's creative work and step-by-step descriptions.

Preparing to make a still life with autumn leaves with children

Autumn is a wonderful time, the richest time of the year for the most beautiful bright colors of nature. If you want to get inspired and admire the colors of autumn, then take a walk in nature and collect a bouquet of fallen leaves. They will come in handy for our creative children's autumn still lifes.

Returning home, lay out the collected leaves on white paper and examine them carefully with the children. You will be convinced that you have not found two absolutely identical leaves in size, shape and color. Some leaves are elongated, long, others are round, others are carved. Pay attention to the fact that some leaves have smooth edges, others have small teeth, and others have larger teeth. But the maple leaf has a special shape. How can you describe it? Think and together with your child determine which trees you collected leaves from?

And of course, Special attention note that each leaf has its own color, that one leaf is painted in one color, and the other has different colors and shades.

List the colors of autumn with your child (you will use them in a still life). A poem will help you

Autumn long thin brush
Recolors the leaves.
Red, yellow, gold -
How good you are, colored sheet!
And the wind thick cheeks
Puffed up, puffed up, puffed up.
And on the colorful trees
Blow, blow, blow!
Red, yellow, gold...
Flew around the whole sheet of color! (I.Mikhailova)

And now we are ready to draw a still life with children. We will draw a bouquet of autumn leaves in a vase.

Still life 1: vase with autumn leaves

Materials and tools

For work we need:

— landscape sheet for drawing,

- a simple pencil;

- watercolor or gouache paints,

- brushes for drawing;

- vase templates;

— leaves of different trees and, of course, a good mood!!!

Vase patterns can be of different shapes(see photo of options). You can make a vase template yourself, any shape.

Step by step description

Step 1. Trace a vase template on a sheet of paper and attach a few leaflets you have collected to the outlined drawing. Try to make a still life composition “Bouquet of autumn leaves in a vase” out of them.

Step 2 Outline the leaves on paper. Pay attention to the direction of the veins on each circled leaflet.

Step 3 Color the vase and leaves with paints. Try to direct the brush in the direction of the veins. Leaves can be painted in one color. And it’s better to place different colors on the palette and dip the brush into several colors of paint at once, and then draw with it. Or add small spots of a different color to the painted surface and slightly blur them with water.

Try, experiment! Good luck in your work!

Here's what happened to the kids: examples of children's still lifes.

Creative task:
Draw a different shape vase template. Make up your bouquet of leaves in a vase and draw it.

Still life 2. Bouquet in a vase with prints of autumn leaves

An adult addresses the children: “Now let's dream up with you. What do you think, is it possible to draw a bouquet of collected leaves in a vase in another way? How many of you have already guessed how to do this?

And you can do it like this:

Step 1. Circle the vase according to the template and color it, as in the first version of the bouquet.

Step 2 Similarly to the first option, try to create a composition of leaves in a vase (I don’t repeat this moment, because it is described in the first version of the still life with autumn leaves).

Step 3 Then, on the selected sheet over its entire surface, apply with a brush an even layer of paint “from the wrong side”. This is necessary so that the veins are clearly printed. Try to keep a little water, otherwise the paint will simply smudge and the print will be fuzzy. You can apply paint as one color, or several autumn colors, focusing on natural colors. It is desirable to carry out this work on a separate sheet of paper or a plastic napkin.

Step 4 With the painted side, put the leaf on the landscape sheet above the glued vase and press it firmly against the paper, trying not to budge, otherwise the print will be fuzzy, smeared.

Step 5 Take the leaf by the handle and carefully remove it from the surface of the paper sheet.

Step 6 Take the next leaf, paint it in a different color and print it in a different place in the composition, but so that the cuttings of the leaves are directed into the vase.

The rest of the prints should be made in accordance with the intended composition.

The leaf can be covered not with one color, but with different ones, then the print will turn out to be two-color or multi-color.

You can reuse an already painted sheet by applying a different color of paint to it, then when mixing different paints, an unusual shade can be obtained.

In this way, it is possible to imprint leaves of various shapes and different color over a painted vase to the desired result.

Examples of children's work:

Creative task:

1. Think about what else can be depicted with leaf prints?
2. Try painting trees with leaf prints.
3. Make an ornamental composition of leaf prints in a circle, square.

Still life 3. Still life with autumn leaves in the technique of appliqué

In this variant, fallen leaves dried under pressure can be used to make a bouquet. But only a layer of glue on them will need to be applied very carefully, because the leaves are very fragile and break easily. I tried to glue raw leaves and did this work like this.

Step 1. We make a vase. I really like covers from old notebooks for work. Here are the ones I used. I cut out the blank of the vase and glued it to the paper.

Step 2 I first laid out the leaves depicting a bouquet in a vase. Planned the composition.

Step 3 From the wrong side, I applied PVA glue to the surface of the leaves and glued them to the paper, starting to glue from the bottommost sheet. I cut off the tails on the lower leaves so that they do not create a bulge and do not slow down the process of gluing the leaves superimposed on top. It is desirable that the leaves are of different colors so that they do not merge with each other in color in the composition. The still life is ready.

Creative task:

1. Collect leaves from different trees, arrange them in old books or iron them with a hot iron. Think about what can be depicted from dried leaves using the appliqué technique?
2. Try to draw a fish from the leaves. Make a composition on the theme "Aquarium" or "Seabed".
3. What animals can be depicted using dried leaves? Picture these animals!

Good luck with your work and creative success! Until we meet again on the site "Native Path".

Translated into Russian, the word "still life" means "dead nature." To put it simply, such a picture depicts inanimate objects in a certain color scheme and with a characteristic fall of light and shadows. It is very difficult to depict a visible composition with the help of pencils and paints, to convey all the shades, mood and spirit. Therefore, to simplify the task, conditional artists began to divide compositions into categories. They may depend on the season, on the colors and on the objects that are depicted. Now we will consider an autumn still life, get acquainted with its colors, style and other features.

Features of autumn still life

Sometimes it seems that drawing pictures of autumn is the most exciting activity. They contain a huge number of shades, but they are all in the same color scheme - warm, red-yellow. Autumn still life can be dark, saturated or light, transparent, but in both cases the colors will be bright and expressive. The background can catch the eye, for example, the painted objects are on the window, and a bright blue sky is visible behind the glass. In a similar way, objects located in the foreground of the picture can attract attention.

As a rule, autumn still life shows us the gifts of this season, its features, which are not only in colors. These can be pictures of the harvest (apples, pumpkins, grapes), images (asters, chrysanthemums), which are certainly combined with household items - vases, pots, chests, etc. Among the artists who painted such masterpieces, Eduard Panov, our contemporary, takes pride of place. In his work there are floral motifs and other autumn attributes.

Different pictures of autumn

It is worth noting that in many there is autumn as art, it has come a long way from antiquity to the 21st century, and for centuries people have depicted everything that surrounded them, including pictures of autumn. They became most plausible in the 19th century, when the trends that followed them became relevant. Among the masterpieces of that time, A. Gerasimov's painting "Gifts of Autumn" deserves attention. The name of the canvas speaks for itself - it presents golden time in all its glory.

Examples in painting

Josef Lauer captured this season with a touch of romanticism in his painting Peaches, Plums, Grapes, Melon and Autumn Flowers. This autumn still life has retained all the warm tones that are characteristic of the golden age, which is why it is considered one of the standards of autumn painting.

But Henri Fantin-Latour managed to depict autumn in a non-standard way in his painting “Flowers, Fruits and Pumpkin”. The canvas is written in red, saturated colors, as if passed through a gradient. The style is somewhere between romanticism, realism and primitivism. The painting is rightfully considered a masterpiece of painting.

By using modern technology you can also make a unique autumn still life. A photo of objects in which every shade, every shadow and reflection is captured - a work of art of the new century. Such paintings are more than realistic, but still depend on the mood of the master who made them.

Guys, our pencil friend is waiting for you in the art studio, he has prepared a lot of interesting things for you.

1.

*Children in the art studio.

Today we have many guests in the art studio, welcome them.

*In the magic window - Pencil.

Guys, we often meet with a pencil, and he became our friend.

*On Screen Pencil & Eraser

Today he came not alone, but with an elastic band. And why did he bring her, you will find out later, and now the Pencil has prepared a video riddle for you, do you want to guess it?

*Video excerpt: “If you see in the picture (still life)

Guys, you guessed what we will talk about today, and if you want, draw (about still life).

I invite you to a video exhibition where we will admire the still lifes of different artists.

* Viewing still lifes (on the TV screen).

Do you like still lifes?

What time of year are these still lifes talking about? (autumn)

What colors did the artists use to convey the gifts of autumn?

Suggested responses of children: bright, warm, golden, sunny ...

Look how bright the works are, what a variety of colors are here.

Before drawing a still life, the artist composes it.

And I also wanted to draw an autumn still life.

I kept oak branches, maple leaves, flowers. We have vases, fruits.

Guys, I'll try to make a still life, and I hope you can help me.

What is our background? (dark) Choose the vase that best suits (dark or light)

(-Dark vase, as if hidden)

* Make up a still life with the children. We admire.

*On Screen Pencil

The pencil has prepared something else for you.

It turns out that you can depict a still life using only two colors - black and white, and this type of fine art is called graphics.

Pencil wants to show you autumn still lifes made in this technique.

* Viewing autumn still lifes (on the TV screen).

**Comment, while watching:

If painting is a colorful art, then the main colors of graphics are black and white. Expressive means of graphics - line, drawing, color and shadow transitions, contrast of dark and light.

*On the screen Pencil and Eraser (an excerpt from the song Big Secret ...)

And now the pencil wants to reveal the secret why he came today with an eraser

Often, when we draw a sketch with a simple pencil, we use an eraser. But the eraser not only erases, but can also create a picture itself.

This is reverse graphics or "reverse graphics".

Look through the magic window - these are children's works in technology - reverse graphics.

* View children's work (on the TV screen).

The pencil has prepared tinted sheets for you and invites you to draw an autumn still life as a keepsake of this beautiful time of the year. Do you mind?

2.

Guys, I invite you to take places in our art workshop.

I wanted to draw such a still life in memory of autumn.

*Showing my still life.

If you liked the still life that we made together, then you can draw it.

And you can come up with and depict your own still life.

The same object can be depicted in different ways:

Dark - can be conveyed simply by contour drawing or by highlighting the contour

Light - light silhouette with veins drawn with a simple pencil

* Showing three different ways of depicting the same subject(leaf) and how small round shapes can be depicted.

* Turn on calm music

And now, to the music, you imagine your autumn still life and depict it using the technique - reverse graphics, using an eraser and a simple pencil.

Who is ready - can get to work.

*In the course of children's work I use:

Suggestive questions:

What size should the leaves be so that everyone can see them and admire them;

Can there be leaves from different trees on the same branch;

What part of the sheet can be occupied by a vase.

How can I correct the error - obscure this part;

To draw thin lines, it is better to use an eraser on a pencil, and to draw a large one - with an eraser.

Indirect instructions:

Wouldn't you like to add veins to the leaves...

Reminders:

Did you forget to draw a table or a shelf on which the still life is located?

How interesting you decorated the vase, well done;

I really liked the way you arranged the objects in your still life;

You got carved leaves, wonderful ...

* In the course of work, I offer physical education for a minute to those children who are tired:

Finger gymnastics "Autumn bouquet"

Children spread their fingers to the side and bend them to the beat of the poem, in turn, starting with the thumb:

One, two, three, four, five,

Let's collect the leaves. (All fingers are gathered into a fist.)
