WinTER MOUNTAINS!
MINIATURE SCENE
For this project, you will learn how to draw a natural mountain landscape with simple lines and shapes. You will then create the illusion of distance with the size of each detail for your trees and river.
To get started, let's dive into the practice worksheet, which will help you build confidence before creating your two scenes.
Grab your Mountain Scene Practice sheet.
Remember that practice helps us understand the next steps better. Once you are done, starting the project will feel a bit easier. You will need to get your work area ready and cover it since we will be using paint.
