My best 3 secrets for painting magical, sparkling snow scenes like the impressionists! ✨ #sponsored 1️⃣ Use a play of warm and cool.

Soft pastel is such an amazi...

Sometimes the tiniest marks make the biggest impact. ✨ I didn’t plan to add that detail, but as I was caught up in the moment of painting, I had the thought to make it look like a car was coming down the road. A spontaneous decision and I think it makes it! What do you think?

Making a painting ✨glow✨ is like performing a magic trick! (And it’s simpler than you may think!) I’m sharing my best tips thanks to @blickartmaterials #sponsored Step 1: Add the darks in your scene.
