Hands-on Class Project
For this project, you’ll create your own serene winter landscape using watercolor and gouache! Whether you’re a beginner or simply looking to capture the peaceful beauty of winter, this project will help you practice your watercolor techniques while designing a stunning postcard or framed artwork.
Steps to Complete the Project:
- Prepare the base: Tape down your watercolor paper and wet the surface to prepare for a soft, blended background.
- Paint with watercolor: Use Indigo and Payne’s Gray to build up a dreamy winter sky and snowy ground. Work in light layers and let the colors flow naturally.
- Add snow details: Once the base layer is dry, use white gouache to paint snow-covered trees and create falling snow for a magical effect.
- Personalize (optional): Add a short message or detail, like a date or signature, to make your painting unique.
