About This Lesson
The key to this painting is a strong composition with good value contrasts at the focal point along with textural contrast that emphasizes the softness of a snow-covered winter scene.
This painting relies heavily on basic watercolor painting techniques,combining them to create a complex, professional looking result.
Contrast and variety make for a lively and visually interesting painting. The heavy use of wet and dry-in-wet techniques will create a lot of soft texture and soft-egded shapes. We’ll balance and contrast all of that softness with the rough textures that happen so naturally on Rough watercolor paper.
