(7x10)I find myself always admiring grays in other people's paintings, but can never seem to get to gray in my own. This seemed like a good subject for trying out some neutrals.
I also used watercolor pencils for the twigs in the foreground and bleed-proof white for the snow.
Very nicely done, Laura. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely winter scene. Makes me wish we would have snow here.
ReplyDeleteI really love your work. I prefer the sentiment "self-sufficient" myself. Isn't snow magical?
ReplyDeleteWonderful painting. Nicely captured the atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteSALUDOS!!BELLISIMAS NEVADAS¡¡¡
ReplyDeleteThe painting is so atmospheric and tranquil. And that snow falling reaaly adds to that winter feel. This is wonderful! I could learn a lot from you :0)
ReplyDeleteYesterday the EXQUISITE Dejda and today you're channeling Wyeth! Think I'll paraphrase Dickens here: "Please, ma'am, we want some more"!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful wintry scene. One idea you could try is adding the snowflakes digitally so you can have both with and without!
ReplyDeleteOh, you set such a wonderful tone/mood. Love this, Laura. I definitely prefer "self-sufficient" over lonely.
ReplyDeleteI love it - and when I enlarged it, I saw how the white makes it almost 3D = all the rage now, don't you know!! It would make a lovely holiday card.
ReplyDeleteLaura, I love your work and your blog is gorgeous!!! Thanks for visiting mine today. This snow scene really gets me in the holiday mood as we just arrived in the New Mexico mountains.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Laura. Love the way you laid the blanket of snow gently over all and captured the unadorned spirit of this season.
ReplyDeleteThe snow is incredible! How did you get it to appear to have so much texture? I do watercolor house portraits and there are plenty of instances where I want to paint snow falling. Instead I just paint snow around the house! Any advice would be appreciated.
