Frosty Morning

Create a winter landscape that glows with sunlight and captures the chill of snow.

In this step-by-step tutorial, you’ll learn how to paint a cozy, snow-covered landscape full of warm sunlight, soft shadows, and a misty atmosphere.

In this class, you’ll learn how to:

• Interpret a reference photo and simplify complex winter scenes
• Plan your painting with layers, masking, and thoughtful composition
• Apply initial washes to establish mood, light, and tonal values
• Create distant trees, middle ground, and foreground elements with depth
• Paint realistic snow folds, reflections in water, and subtle shadows
• Add dry plants, foliage, and textural details to bring the scene to life
• Enhance light and soft edges using lifting and scrubber brush techniques
• Finish the painting with gouache for snow, highlights, and falling snow effects

This tutorial is perfect for beginners exploring winter landscapes, as well as intermediate painters refining their skills in light, atmosphere, and natural textures. By the end of this class, you’ll have a finished watercolor painting full of depth, warmth, and winter charm.
