Country Barn in Snow II

12x6 watercolor on 140 lb cold press paper done week before last as a class exercise in painting snowy landscapes with barns. I had painted a first version of this imaginary scene years ago. Old fence posts poke through snow to point the viewer's eye upward as do the smaller branches and bare trees. These compositional additions also tie the foreground to the background in this vertical landscape. COPYRIGHT 2023 Kay Smith

December Snowfall

6x9 watercolor on 140 lb Canson cold press paper done a few days ago using one of my saved line drawings. These come in handy when there is not much time to spend sketching a new subject. In this imaginary scene I've left the pristine snow unlike the first version that had a stormy sky and more shadows. COPYRIGHT 2022 Kay Smith

Winter Solstice Treeline

6.25x9.25 Brusho watercolor crystals on Italia Magnani 140 lb cold press paper sketched in pencil then painted today using only one color, Grey. I like how the crystals separate out in their different colors in a very wet wash. This is an imaginary scene for the first day of winter, the winter solstice. COPYRIGHT 2020 Kay Smith

20x16 watercolor on Arches 140 lb cold press paper, Daniel Smith paints.  In this wintry imaginary scene, three wolves gather to plan their next activity within the snow covered trees and brush.
