Welcome to #TutorialTuesday!
Today, we’re painting a breathtaking scene of a crisp winter day at the lake. This painting takes you to a peaceful walking path that gently curves out onto a serene lookout point. Surrounded by calm blue waters and framed by delicate trees dusted with snow, this composition is a celebration of the beauty and tranquility of nature. It’s the perfect project to transport yourself to a quiet moment of reflection and wonder.
Using the wet-on-wet oil painting technique, we’ll explore a variety of methods to achieve soft skies, serene water reflections, and textured trees with a snowy touch. Whether you’re an experienced artist or just starting your creative journey, this tutorial is designed to be accessible and fun for all. Follow along step by step to create a painting that captures the stillness and beauty of a crisp day by the lake.
Today’s Palette
This week, we’re working with a limited yet impactful palette of colors:
Liquid White: for smooth blending and seamless transitions.
Titanium White: the star for snow, highlights, and softness.
Bright Red: adding warmth and depth to our trees and details.
Phthalo Blue: bringing vibrancy to the sky and water reflections.
Prussian Blue: for rich shadows and depth.
Midnight Black: grounding our painting with subtle contrast.
