Winter Landscape Watercolor

"Where the Tree Tops Glisten" LWatry©2014

I have started my Christmas card early this year. I started creating a winter scene painting for our cards about 11 years ago. This year I am teaching a snow scene class and so I am using the opportunity to create our Christmas card at the same time.

I chose to do a painting from a photo that I took after a big snow storm in Colorado Springs. For my Christmas cards, I started adding an ornament or two to make it a little more festive, but still keep the look of a quiet snow scene.

"Where the Tree Tops Glisten" LWatry©2014

I started the painting by masking off the foreground branches, snow, and pine needles. I also masked off the little dots of white where the ice collected on the ends of the pine needles. I added 5 ornaments to the drawing to make it a Christmas scene. Then I started painting in the background snow and trees. I used some sponging and some direct painting with a brush. I did several layers and changes of value so that there would be depth in the back.

After the background snow and trees were to a place that was looking good, I started the foreground branch.The second image shows the progress with the snow shadowed and some of the needles and branches going in. I also painted in the 5 ornaments in red so that they would stand out against the cooler colors. I used a slightly warmer brown and gray brown on the branches so that they would look sunlit and closer than the cooler background trees. I still have some of the masking on the little sparkles of ice snow on the needles. I will continue with the foreground branch and post the final painting when it is complete.

One-of-a-Kind Hand Painted Glass Ornaments

One-of-a-kind, hand painted Ornaments by Lorraine Watry ©2013

During this time of the year, I like to take a short break from my watercolors and paint with acrylics on glass ornaments. These one-of-a-kind ornaments are a fun way to create little paintings that can be hung on a a tree. 

     I purchase the ornaments at a local craft store. I begin by painting the front of the ornament with white acrylic. When this is dry, I lightly sketch in pencil my design and then using acrylic paint, I paint in the scene. Some images go quickly and others need several layers and more detail. When the paint is completely dry I may add some glitter or crystal beads to some of the ornaments to make the snow sparkle. 

     The finished ornaments are then sprayed with three coats of an archival sealer to protect them and give them a glossy look. These ornaments are headed to the gallery I am at in Old Colorado City, Arati Artists Gallery. They are priced at $30 each.
