- Winter hIke
Yesterday I went for hike with my best friend, Rose just loves the snow, she is my 2 year old lab mix. The snow was soft and light, and the trees had an inch of powdered white sugar on them. I took my camera but midway it froze and I could only get a few pics. The trail path was quite muddy at times but Rose didn’t seem to mind and I had to walk her in fresh snow to get her clean before getting in the truck.
I did this painting today from the hike. The pics colors are not quite right. I drew the trees and rocks, masked out the whites on the branches, did a wash of grey blue for the backgound. Worked in the farthest trees in lighter greys. then the front, darker as you get closer. Then you add the detail of the smaller branches, rocks and shadows. Finally spray on some white for falling snow.
