Join me on Patreon: patreon.com/dianeantonestudio Today I’m bringing together the first week of our #lifeinwinter Daily Watercolor Challenge prompts into a single painting. Rather than creating a separate painting for each prompt, this month I wanted to explore what would happen if I combined them all on one page — a winter scene developing gradually, one day at a time. I hope you enjoy this alternative way of working with the prompts, and do look out for Week 2 next week!

➡️ *About my brushes*
I buy my favorite brushes from Drawell. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. drawell.co.jp/english/product.html
