Snowy Mountains with Pine Trees - Recording
Join My Live Watercolor Class: Snowy Mountains with Pine Trees
This holiday season, take some time to relax and enjoy painting a calm and bright winter landscape. Together, we’ll create a snowy mountain scene with pine trees, a misty layer of fog, and a textured rock in the foreground that adds depth and a sense of distance. Using a soft palette of light purples, blues, and a touch of brown for texture, we’ll explore techniques to bring the scene to life.
In this class, you’ll learn:
How to create depth and distance using layering and color.
Techniques for painting soft fog and blending colors for a smooth transition.
How to use granulating paints to add texture and visual interest to your work.
This step-by-step session is designed to help you unwind, experiment with new skills, and enjoy a creative break during the Christmas holidays. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to expand your techniques, this class offers a chance to learn, relax, and create something meaningful in a friendly, supportive atmosphere.
Sign up now and treat yourself to a fun and relaxing artistic experience!
The link to the class will be updated with the recording by the 20th of December and available in a PDF file that you will receive when you purchase this class.
Have fun with this painting and don`t forget to tag me if you are sharing your finished painting on socials. Can`t wait to see your creations.
PS! You can learn more about the live classes here.

Paper:
1 sheet of paper for the final project - 28х18cm (1/8 Imperial Sheet) or A4 (9×12”)
Saunders Waterford, Cold Pressed 100% cotton watercolor paper in 300 gsm (140 lb).
* 100% cotton watercolor paper of any other brand is suitable for this work, although Cold Presses (NOT) is recommended, as well as a paper density no less than 200 gsm. 300gsm is the best density for this project, but 200 gms can do the job too, if you are used to it.
Watercolor paints:
You can use your favourite watercolors of any brand, in tubes or pans. Just don’t forget to mix them with each other before you start to check what blends they give. For the best results use student grade or professional artist grade paints.
I don`t recommend cheap store bought paints for this style of painting, but you do as you wish.
In this class you have complete freedom of creativity towards colors. All the colors that I use can be replaced with others. In our practice part I will explain why the exact colours are not so important.
However for your convenience you will see the colours for our final project listed below and few of my current favourite colours for Cloud Painting.
Potter`s Pink (Any cool red will give similar results - Quinacridone Rose, Opera Pink, Quinacridone Magenta, Carmine etc.)
French Ultramarine or Cobalt Blue (I use granulating warm blue to separate the pigment in the purple mixture and create a dramatic glow.)
Bloodstone Genuine (any Warm Brown can be used as substitute)
White Gouache (We way or may not use it.)
Brushes:
Soft flat brush for wetting the initial later on the paper (pony, goat, or synthetic for watercolour) – size 20-30 (I use 2” Hake Brush)
Round pointed brushes – size 4, 8, 12 or medium size chinese calligraphy brushes
Round pointed synthetic or liner brush- optional for more control, when painting the smaller clouds.
Fan brush for blending.
Additional Materials:
Water Containers - I use 2 glass jars with water
Waterproof plastic board 30х40 cm (or according to the size of your paper). If you don`t have plastic board you can cover a board with the size of the paper with a cling film. You can reuse it for limitless number of uses and it will be great)
Pencil НВ and erasers: ordinary or soft
Paper towels & Tea Towel/ Cotton cloth.
Cling Film for the Rocky Texture
Palette for mixing your paints
