I watched the video on painting snowy winter trees and then set about trying to sketch my own. That left me with a confusing batch of lines so I started over - this time just kind of marking where I wanted my path. Using royal blue I dabbed in a cloudy sky and horizon line. While it was still wet I also touched
just a hint of pink into the clouds. Now to the trees - Like today's video artist I started at the farthest point with my lightest color painting tiny sticks for trees - as I came forward in my picture, I used successively darker browns and painted thicker trunks and letting my brush wander to add branches and twigs at random. Next, I mixed a bit of purple to my original royal blue and used this for shadows both in my snow and along the pathway. Finally, I added some water to white acrylic paint using this to spatter falling snow over the scene and paint a bit of fallen snow on some of the tree branches. Stamped the sentiment and embossed with Desert Rain EP

AMAZING!!!!!You had to smile when you finished this beautiful painting. The shading along with the tree line is wonderful. You hit a home run with the sketching of the bare trees. I used a digi because my sketched trees looked like they were in a forest fire. Thanks for joining us with this beauty. Fav'd

Your trees came out so amazing with the snow on them. And I love the colors that make it look like the sun is really shining through those back trees. Another awesome WCW card!
