It has been a while I know … I hope my followers are all well, and I’m sorry for my quietness over the past 6 months or so...
So, any ideas thus far (I guess the title may be a giveaway)?
I was thinking of doing a pallette knife paint-off, for this particular idea ...
But then, I changed my mind part way
through ...
And decided, to do both...
Its been a while and I need to sharpen my tools 'so to speak' ...
And why not mix it up a little ...
So believe it or not, this is the background to a snow scene ...
I wanted to challenge myself to finally, pluck up the courage to paint a snow scene. Something I have often pondered, but never felt confident enough to do so. I’m really happy with the outcome. It WAS as difficult as I thought it would be, but I really enjoyed it.
Ive taken some shots of the stages, as always, so you can see ‘how it was made’. Maybe I can inspire you, or maybe you can tell me an easier technique for ‘snow’?
I loved painting the trees, and the snowfall, not as difficult as I had once thought, but no mean feat.
And, you know what? I really enjoy painting figures, I once thought these were the most difficult thing to do, and hence never dreamed of adding one ... now I love it .... 'Simplify' is a word that sticks with me!
And ... 'she' completes the painting ... Not bad for my first snow scene.
