Snow

This is one of the few the results of my short-lived goal to sketch nature through my window for 100 days. We had snow almost immediately; for days, the main task of landscape sketching seemed to be deciding where to leave the paper untouched. Often, the overcast sky kept even shadows from breaking the expanse of white. (I know many skilled watercolorists enjoy painting shadows.) At least I got this one done, through the car window, from the Wendy's parking lot.

  1. I really like your watercolor. The shadows are rely well done, and the perimeter of green is nice contrast!

  2. Rhank you. The gray is actually asphalt—no shadows on that overcast day. Yes, the evergreens give visual relief at this time of year.
