Winter Landscape Painting Step by Step Tutorial
Paint background
1. Start with the background and mix some blue paint with water to create a slightly wet surface.
2. Then simply take up some water with the brush and apply the paint downwards.
3. Now pick up more blue paint and spread it over the top so that the upper part of the sky is darker.
4. Now let the paint dry. Alternatively, you can also use a hairdryer.
Painting background trees
1. Now mix a little blue with water and paint the trees in the background.
2. Paint a whole row of trees so that they cover the entire width. Don’t use too many details.
3. Take up some more water and smudge the paint downwards. Let the paint dry again.
Painting the middle row of trees
1. Now take an even darker blue or mix your blue with some black. Use it to paint the middle series.
2. Paint the trees slightly larger and paint the color downwards with a little water. Let the paint dry again.
Paint front trees
1. Now mix a really dark blue. Take a slightly sharper brush and paint the front trees.
2. Use the pointed brush to paint the front trees with more detail. Paint these trees slightly larger.
3. Paint a really big tree on the right-hand side. This will give you a three-dimensional effect.
Draw in stars
- Take either a white pencil or some white paint and draw in the stars.
