Description This is a painting that I just did. I was actually working on another one, but it was pissing me off, because I kind of messed it up. I needed to create something nice.

It's actually specially made for for the Night Dreams contest: [link]

I don't usually paint realistic landscapes, but I wanted to paint a winter scene for a longtime. And it's hot today outside! There is few things that I discovered while painting this landscape, like using my new fan brush! I was a little bit scared applying the paint directly on the paper with the brush, because I wasn't sure what it will do, but it's a perfect tool to paint pine trees, the snow on trees and the snow in the air. I worked for the whole day on this painting, going layer by layer, and overall, I'm happy with the result There is just one thing that is bothering me: the snow looks a little bit weird on the tree branch on the close tree on the right. Made with acrylics.

I didn't use a proper reference for the painting, because this particular landscape is just made up, but I looked at a lot of landscape winter pictures and paintings to inspire me. I retained those ones as the main ones:

Edit: I just changed the file, because I was able to take a better picture.

Thank you so much I think I'm gonna repeat myself in a comment for you, because looks like everybody appreciate the same thing in this painting. I'm happy that the pine trees are enough good to be considered as realistic and I like the snow here too

Merci beaucoup Ton commentaire fait vraiement chaud au coeur! Je ne pensais pas que cette peinture va tellement attired de beaux commentaires et gagner en popularitΓ© si rapidement. Mais je comprends pourquoi les gens l'apprΓ©cient. Je crois bien que c'est mon morceau le plus populaire. Pourtant, ce n'est pas le plus colorΓ© On dirais que parfois les tons griseΓ’tres attirent aussi le regard...

I really like the brush work you did here, varying texture and size to create a wonderfully realistic scene. Fantastic stuff

Thank you very much I sense that the new fan brush will be my favourite one of all times xD It's because of this brush that I was able to give this realistic effects to the trees on the back and to the falling snow.
