Winter Snow Shadows in Watercolour

Winter Snow Shadows in Watercolour

There are so many opportunities to let watercolours sing in snow scenes. This three hour class is a perfect example of this by making varying degrees of shadows in the snow, in posts and a walking bridge. I love to lay down the brush wet-on-wet here and there introducing primary transparent colours. This base will be the beginning to many layers of paint to create “Winter Snow Shadows”!
