Hello 

 

It's that time of year when my students and I are painting up our holiday cards. Remember with a snow scene you can make the background warm and the foreground a cool color. When painting snow try to do the snow in a single floating wash to make it look very clean and fresh. if you go over the snow more then once it starts loosing the fresh fluffy look.

See below for a step-by-step snow scene.
 

The painting starts with the background wash and I try to make I get the whole background done in one wash. I wet the entire surface so everything becomes a soft edge. The smoke out of the chimney was taken out with a dry brush when the surface was damp.

Second wash is the foreground snow and all the soft edges in the snow. The hard edges in the snow will come later.

3rd wash is the warm colors of my center of interest. 

Now I put in my dark details. 

I keep on putting in dark details until they are all in. I stop when I feel I have all the small details put in.
