Painting the Luminous Winter Landscape

Ages 18+

Winter scenes in watercolor come down to a few specific challenges: keeping paper whites clean, avoiding muddy shadows, and capturing bright light and colorful shadow without losing contrast. In this four-hour workshop, we will break down the practical techniques for painting a Wisconsin winter landscape from start to finish.

We will focus on the core skills every watercolorist needs for winter subjects:

• Preserving paper whites while shaping soft snow contours

• Laying down clean, luminous winter skies without harsh streaks

• Mixing rich, colorful shadows so snow reads as bright and cold rather than gray
