With winter rolling in, I decided to do a winter painting this week that would be great lesson! For this painting I once again used acrylic paint. This week I decided to do a step by step progress picture to see where I started and how the overall product turned out. It has been a fairly busy week and I have also just felt very drained and tired so I was only able to do one painting this week but I am planning to do a lot during reading break!

I mixed blue and black to make dark blue and blue to make the layering! I tried to do a brush stroke of each and then lightly blended the two colours together with another brush.
This was my first layer of snow! I believe I had to do three or four layers to hide the blue!
Next up was the sun, I started with a dark orange
Then I layered one light orange and yellow! For some reason I really struggled with drawing a circle as you can see haha
Next was the trees
Last but not least I added some snow fall.

I think my favourite part of this painting is the background. I am still learning how to blend colours in a way that is not just making it one dark blob. I am quite happy with how it turned out and will definitely be trying other techniques to see which one I like best. If anyone knows a good technique let me know! Also if you have any fun craft suggestions let me know!
