Painting snow in watercolour is a tricky business: it is necessary to proceed carefully, ensuring that areas of shadow are coloured correctly – snow is almost never white – while also making use of the natural brightness of the paper. Add too much paint and your crist, pristine snowfall can turn into a dirty, slushy mess. In this well-illustrated and clearly-written manual, the artist and tutor Terry Harrison shares his techniques for painting realistic snow scenes. Advice is given on the following subjects:
- mixing colours for snow scenes
- choosing brushes
- using dry-brush techniques
- painting from photographs
- executing Christmas scenes
- adding finishing touches
