Creating landscape artwork for kids
I detest living in a snowy climate (Brrr!! ), but I like looking up at our mountains in the winter and admiring the beautiful evergreen trees against the snowy background.
We had just endured a major storm for Christmas, so our holiday trips this past week were extremely gorgeous. This week’s newspaper winter landscape painting creation was inspired by it. The background of the artwork has a fantastic falling snow texture because of the background of printed bubble wrap.
To make your winter landscape art, you’ll need the following:

Drawing A Landscape Step By Step
1:
- Start by painting a portion of a newspaper with green liquid watercolours. The newsprint will first be wet, but it will harden again if you let it completely dry for several hours or overnight.
2:
- Cut a piece of bubble wrap slightly bigger than your light blue cardstock. Cover the elevated bubbles of the bubble wrap with a sponge paintbrush and some white paint on your paper plate.
3:
- Carefully lay your blue cardstock over the painted bubble wrap. Smear it with your hands to transfer the white paint from the bubbles to your paper.
- Slowly peel back the blue cardstock from the bubble wrap to reveal the snow falling. You should leave your paper alone to completely dry.
4:
- After colouring the newspaper, let it dry completely before cutting out 12 to 15 triangles of varied sizes. Each triangle will be changed into a winter tree for your art project.
5:
- Use a metallic marker to add a trunk and limbs to each of your newspaper Christmas trees. We used copper, silver, and gold to give our artwork more colour.
Note: You can mark the newspaper trees just as easily with an oil pastel as with metallic markers.
6:
- Fold a piece of white cardstock lengthwise and cut out two snowy hills. We utilised the paper’s paper’s top and bottom flat sides as the basis of each hill. You should strive for one hill to be larger than the other to give your winter landscape greater depth.
7:
- Cover the bottom of the larger snowy hill with adhesive and attach it to the cardstock.
Place many paper Christmas trees all over the white hill in step 7. - Once you are satisfied with where you have positioned each tree, use a glue stick to add adhesive.
8:
- Glue the trees at the bottom of your artwork and the second snowy hill on top of the first hill. Place the remaining newspaper trees on the snowy slope after adding adhesive.
