  Snowy Roadside – Watercolour

  Just an old piece of fence and some shrubs at the side of the road. Spotted during a walk in yesterday’s snow. The hills beyond were fading in and out of vision as the snow fell.

  I have folder on my desktop “Learn”, where I put works I admire and can learn from, so I will put it there. Thank you.

  Thank you so much, Nikira. I’m glad you like this. I don’t know if you could learn too much from this but, in case you are interested, I started by spraying a diluted amount of frisket through a mesh by blowing through a straw. This was for the falling snowflakes. Then it was a case of applying a few grey washes for the bulk of the scene. The plants were the last to go in. I only used three colours – Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Sienna and Yellow Ochre. Seems to have worked and I just might try this again
