In this lesson I explain everything from the beginning to the end: how to build a composition, how to select and mix colors, how to think about and analyze the picture before the actual drawing (checklist included!), how to do the watercolour washes properly, how to use various watercolor techniques optimally and how to act when something goes wrong. And, of course, how to paint snowy mountains and skiing areas, how to use the critical for good image tone values, how to create contrasts by tone and color.

Materials needed:

I try to use a limited range and a minimum of materials, so you don't need a mountains of paint and thousands of brushes to draw this painting.

◽️Paints: Sepia, Cadmium orange (PO20 pigment), Raw Umber, Ultramarine, Cobalt Blue, Royal Blue

◽️Brushes: large soft squirrel/imitation, round or oval goat brush, small synthetic brush with a sharp tip
