Description
I painted this lovely winter scene for one of my art classes. Since my elderly students were not keen on using watercolor paint, I wanted to see if I could give them an alternate method in which to create beautiful pictures that were suitable for greeting cards.
So I created this warm and delightful setting as the sun was going down at the end of a cold and snowy winter day by using water soluble wax pastels and watercolor pencils instead of regular watercolor paint.
Winter scenes like this remind me of growing up in England... except for the fact that my robins are sharing memories of Christmas joy from a fir instead of a holly bush.♥
