When we did our first painting in October we liked so much we decided to give it another try. Looking around the room there were many wonderful paintings hanging, and on one specific wall were the paintings that were going to be offered for the next couple of months. We all liked this one. Here are the stages of my painting.
Starting at the top with the teal color, stroking it downward.
Adding a little white to the brush and blending it downward to almost all white. Then to add the branches.
And I missed a picture of the step to add the needles - they were added to the branches in the teal color again with a little black and then we added white to highlight them.
Pine cones were painted with a mixture of black and brown in a "pizza slice" shape. Then we went back and added some white highlights on the tips of the pine cone petals.
And then, of course, the snow was added to the branches, the pine cones and softly falling dotted snowflakes.
And here are the artists with their finished product.
We were all pleased with the outcome and plan to do another painting soon. It was a fun evening that started with dinner together and time catching up before the extra-busyness of the holidays!
Oh my goodness! This looks like so much fun!!! I love all of your completed paintings and the smiles on all of your faces! Yours is absolutely gorgeous and perfect for this time of the year! Wishing you a very Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThat canvas is beautiful! Well, they all are. It sounds like a wonderful way of spending time out together and being creative at the same time.
