WATERCOLOR SNOW Painting Techniques (Backgrounds #5)

Watercolor snow painting techniques - there are probably masses of them, here are just three that are really easy.

These snow painting techniques are suitable for all levels of ability. They are quick and easy, and really do create a lovely soft suggestion of falling snow. This worked really well with this particular painting, without detracting too much from the main subject. I hope you find them useful, and if you want more background painting techniques, why not check out this video next: https://bit.ly/3jFYxie
