I changed my mind… I am, in fact, following along with cute kids-playing-in-the-snow painting lesson on Ali Kay‘s Fresh Paint site. The first step was to make a value map showing the dark and light areas. Then I did the snow and trees, and the snow — even if it looks white — is tinged with phthalo blue. (I’m actually using the Liquitex Soft Body “Light Blue Permanent” which is a pre-mixed combo of Phthalo Green, Phthalo Blue Green Shade and Titanium White. I’ve added more white to it. (As it almost gone, I’m also using Liquitex’s BASICS “Light Blue Permanent” which is the same color mix.)
