When snowfall drapes the terrain in a blanket of powder, the winter landscape is simplified and lures the artist with its iridescent gleam. Whether sunny and bright or overcast, study the way light plays on the snow surface. Working with a collection of colors, learn to look for opportunities to exaggerate color when conveying the frosty feel of heaping piles of pristine white. Discover how to use value, contrast and drybrush to enhance the subtle beauty of this season. As snow swirls and twirls, take a snow day and paint! Reference material provided. Introductory watercolor experience needed.

In addition to developing skills using color, value, shapes, and edges, students will feel comfortable using brushwork techniques like drybrush and gain an understanding of light and shadow in painting.
