Technique Tuesday: Winter Paintings

Here is the beginning of what Phil Starke had to say about winter paintings:

“Since we are well into winter, I thought it would be a good idea to post some winter or snow paintings to appreciate.

Snow is interesting to paint because of the strong contrast of value, temperature and texture. Snow is wholly different from all the other landscape parts. It provides instant value contrast, it’s so white, it jumps off the canvas. It’s a different texture than branches, rocks or foliage, it can be as smooth as glass.”
