Painting in watercolours out-of-doors in a Canadian winter means dealing with snow, cold and freezing paint. Also, it means painting in mittens. Watch plein air watercolour painter Poppy Balser as she paints a snowy forest landscape.
Love how you simplified the scene. To me it looked like a complex tangle of tree trunks and branches, so I wouldn't even have attempted painting it. You've shown how it can be done, so thank you!
How you did this without a million hot tea &cake brakes, in that freezing cold, is beyond me. You could have done it from inside a car, couldn't you? Brrrrrrrrrrrr!
Hello..Am curious to know the temperature. I recently did plein airs in sub zero temperatures. The problem I faced was the water was freezing on my palette as well as paper..I also mixed some alcohol, but that did not help much..How do you handle in such a situation?
Just discovered your channel and like it a lot. I notice your preference for small flat brushes when I'd likely use a round for trees and branches. Will have to practice this in my sketchbook when I do studies.
Yes, it is a strada. Though not "made" for watercolours I find it adapts quite well. I especially like how the upper portion (that holds the painting) can go almost horizontal when needed.
Thank you, that is very kind of you to say. I try to work on the whole image as I go along, so that if I have to stop, it will at least look something like what I was trying to show.
