In this week's art video, I'm sharing my six favorite techniques for creating the illusion of falling snow in winter watercolor scenes. ⛄

Not only will these fun techniques help add interest to your snow scenes, but they can also be used to describe textures in other kinds of paintings. All of these are great to practice, as they'll give you tools to have in your tool belt when planning techniques to use in new watercolor pieces.

Tons of tips are shared along the way which will help you succeed with these techniques, and will also give you ideas on how to make the texture on hand more or less intense, depending on your needs. 👩‍🎨

Hope you enjoy and find this one helpful! 💙
