Painting Watercolour Snow Scenes The Easy Way – A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners

1. Sketch your scene

The first step is to sketch your snow scene in pencil. It is important to keep your sketch light, as you don't want to indent the paper. You can also use a light box to trace a photograph or image that you want to paint.

2. Wet the paper

Once you have your sketch, wet the paper with water. This will help the paint to flow more easily and create a softer look.

3. Apply the paint

Start by applying the lightest colours first. You can use a variety of techniques to apply the paint, such as washes, glazing, and dry brush. Experiment with different techniques to see what works best for you.
