Snowy Winter Watercolor Scene: Paint Step-by-Step, Exploring Atmospheric Color & Texture Techniques

What a lovely winter scene, Christine, the soft sky colours and the warm glow in the windows create such a cosy atmosphere. Many thanks for your kind words, I am really glad you enjoyed the class, and you have done a fantastic job bringing depth and light into the snow.

Love that cozy cabin and this beautiful wintry scene, Christine!

wow!! absolutely lovely piece this just is!! Congratulations!!! :):)

I had a macaroon as well.... very sweet 😋 😊 

at last :)) you had a macaroon before the year ends :*)

This is beautiful Christine. I love the texture on the cabins and your background trees are perfect!  I really like how you created the snow effects for depth. The color variations really make it come alive. I remember this class and I remember the struggles and redoing it a few times. It has always been a class I would love to revisit sometime!  :)

Like you.I would like  to redo this class again but if I'm honest tree's frightened me..:*)))

Oh yes, trees are such a topic. I'm currently enjoying sketching them on the side while out walking. Nothing complex, just a single tree, or branch, or even just a piece of evergreen. Quickly captured with pencil or Sakura. It has helped me so much. When painting with watercolors, I like to use a "Struppi," an old school brush with frayed bristles, for the structure of the trees, and a trimmed feather brush or a springy calligraphy brush for fir trees. It makes it easier. Your picture looks great, Christine. Wonderful atmospheric mood.

Kristin has given some great pointers....I just want to go on that walk...Sounds wonderfully relaxing :)

Oh yes, come along for a walk. It's twice as much fun together.

I'm in too...but can we make it after Xmas....I've just been to the hospital...sliced my hand ...luckily my left one...with  a hand blender:*(( 

Oh Christine, that's not good. I hope you feel better soon and that your Christmas preparations haven't been completely thrown off track.  Merry Christmas to you all. Make the best of it.PS: We'll postpone the drawing walks until after Christmas. How cool would that be?🫠🎅🌲🫶

Would be fantastic  Kristen... pity we're all so far away from  each other.... merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 

A fantastic  class from   Will... l struggled  with  the tree's  and trying  to get some  depth in snow  ... but fantastic class  many thanks Will 😊
