In this full process winter landscape tutorial, I take you from the initial sketch all the way to the finished painting. The big focus is on building a convincing snowy scene with simple, repeatable watercolor fundamentals: clean washes for the sky and atmosphere, wet-in-wet passages to keep things soft and natural, and a bit of negative space painting to carve out snow shapes without overworking the paper. I also walk through the exact palette I used—Cerulean Blue, Cobalt Blue, Azo Yellow, Yellow Ochre, Raw Umber, and Neutral Tint—and how I lean on those mixes to get cold winter light while still keeping some warmth in the landscape. If you’re trying to get better at controlling water, keeping edges where you want them, and simplifying a reference into clear value shapes, this one will give you a solid roadmap you can use right away. I’ve linked the reference photo so you can paint along and practice the same decisions I’m making as the piece comes together.
