Watercolour Demonstration 97STAGE 3 THE SNOW SHADOWS
Since the snow shadows are critical, I start there. I mix up a wash of cerulean blue, indanthrene blue and permanent alizarin crimson, and paint
the shadows with a very wet squirrel mop brush.
STAGE 4 THE DARK TREES
I want to establish my darkest values early on, so I paint the big trees first, varying the color of each one. I mix indanthrene blue and burnt sienna
in varying ratios, leaving a few white highlights for branches and snow.
