Art Theme – Winter Scene

🎨 Winter Wonderland Art Challenge: Easy Snow Scene Painting! ❄️

Winter is here, and it’s the perfect time to create your own magical snow scene!

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, we’ve got a simple, fun guide to help you paint a winter masterpiece.

Plus, we’ve got tons of resources to inspire you along the way!

Step 1: Get in the Right Mindset ❄️

Before you start, relax and enjoy the process. Grab a warm drink (marshmallows = inspiration), play some cosy music, and embrace the fun!

Step 2: Choose Your Colors 🌈

Snow isn’t just white! You’ll need:

  • White for the snow
  • Blues for shadows and the sky
  • Greys for depth
  • A pop of colour (like a cosy cabin or a red scarf!)

Tip: Mix a little blue or grey with white for more realistic shadows.

Step 3: Paint the Sky 🌌

Start with the sky to set the mood. A pale blue for a bright day or a dusky grey for a snowstorm. Keep it soft and dreamy!

Step 4: Add the Snow 🏔️

Layer your snow starting with white. Add light blue or grey for depth and texture. Dab with a sponge or brush for fluffy snowbanks.

Step 5: Add the Details ✨

Here’s where the magic happens!

  • Trees: Use a fan brush for evergreen trees or a tiny brush for bare branches.
  • Cabins: Simple shapes work! Add a little smoke for extra charm.
  • Snowflakes: Flick white paint with a toothbrush for a snowy effect.

Step 6: Step Back and Admire 🖼️

If your painting feels cosy and wintery, you’ve nailed it!
