Winter Snow
Watercolor on 100% rag paper, 7x5

This painting is only 7 inches by 5 inches in size. As I sketched this one out, I strived to capture a lot of information on the small space. I first used drawing gum as a resist, then came in with most of the color after that was dry. I did go back in with a second layer to increase the contrast as the watercolors lightened on drying. After removing the resist, the whites were so stark that I took some soft plum shades to them, warming them up and softening the edges. What shall I work on tomorrow? Hmmmmm. This painting makes 740 in 740 days, and
Day 9 of the 30 Day Painting Challenge.
Gorgeous painting! Valerie
ReplyDeleteWow you are amazing, I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! I remember my high school art teacher always telling us not to make snow white in our paintings. In those days we were using tempera. I think most of us did pale lavender for snow in the shadows and perhaps a pale yellow for the sunlit areas. Your's looks so realistic.
