"winter woodland scene"
inspired by Marina Marcolin

wanted to share this  basic snow scene of a winter woodland scene i painted at class following my tutor's Marina Macolin demo ...i'm  finding each lesson  invaluable to practice and to just excercise various techniques brushstrokes and  approaches .

  3. I like it. And I envy that you have the teacher of watercolors. Here watercolor is considered a stepdaughter of oils, one little step to the great oil art learning. (Besides, watercolor is media full of freedom, which was not popular in Soviet Russia))) So I will use your posts as learning material.
