Last Updated: March 4, 2023

The key to drawing a Christmas landscape is in the details. You have to be creative to make your snowy landscape look different than all the other snowy landscapes. Here are two methods to draw a Christmas landscape.

Method 1

Method 1 of 2:

First Method

1
Start by drawing the land. Since this is a winter landscape, the ground will be covered with snow.
2
Draw another curved line on the background of the first.

3
Draw two or more pine trees. If you notice, they look like triangles with jagged edges.
4
Add a Christmas star in the sky. Add a star on each of the trees. Don't forget to put a little bit of snow on the tree.
5
Paint your drawing. Use soft colors like sky blue, and a very pale purple and white for the sky and snow. And, of course, paint the trees green. Use gradients and texture as you wish.
