Winter’s Thaw – Watercolor

“Winter’s Thaw” watercolor by Yvonne Pecor Mucci (12 x 17, Sold)

Painting snow is challenging because it is not white. Strong shadows make the scene come alive. Very little of the white paper has been reserved. The block-in below shows how much color is laid down in the first stages. The snow becomes white as you add stronger darks. “Winter’s Thaw” watercolor depicts a little creek that runs a block from my home.
