Bring Your Winter Scene to Life with Watercolors
Capturing the Essence of Winter
Winter is a magical season, full of serene beauty and crisp air. One of the most delightful ways to celebrate this season is by creating art drawn freehand of a winter scene. With just a pencil and your imagination, you can sketch enchanting winter landscapes, complete with snow-laden trees, cozy cottages, and twinkling lights.
Inking Your Artwork
Once your sketch is complete, it’s time to bring it to life! Ink your freehand drawing with a fine-tipped pen or brush, carefully tracing over your pencil lines. This step adds depth and character to your winter scene, making it ready for the final touch – watercolor painting. Be mindful as you ink, since this will set the foundation for your color palette.
Preparing to Paint
Now that your inked drawing is dry, you’re almost ready to unleash the beauty of watercolors! Gather your supplies: a set of watercolors, brushes, and perhaps some salt or plastic wrap to create beautiful textures. Look at swatches of blues, whites, and earthy tones that evoke a wintery feel, and think about how you want to mix these colors to highlight unique aspects of your scene.
Remember, the magic of art lies not just in accuracy but in the emotions you convey through your chosen colors. So, grab your watercolors, and let your creativity flow. Your art drawn freehand of a winter scene will soon become a vibrant reflection of winter’s beauty!

Working on repainting my Purple Martin House. I painted it a few years ago and it needs it again. Might as well do it before we get it posted up.
