Join me on Patreon: patreon.com/dianeantonestudio Join me today for this step-by-step watercolor tutorial as we paint a row of whimsical snowy houses together. This is a beginner-friendly lesson, designed to be relaxed and easy to follow for new watercolor fans.
We’re focusing on simple shapes and loose washes, with the minimum of drawing, and enjoying the process rather than worrying about a perfect result. No pressure — just take your time and paint along at your own pace.
This painting works as a winter landscape to frame but can also be made into a card or gift — or just keep it in a sketchbook to look back on as you progress.
In this tutorial you’ll learn:
• How to break a scene into simple, paintable shapes
• How to suggest snow using light washes and contrast
• How to keep your painting loose and expressive
• How to build your confidence with my step-by-step approach
Be welcome and enjoy this painting with me!
