I haven't done a snowscape in ages so I thought it would be a nice change to do one now. I'm not sure which series this belongs in, it's not really a The Big Sky so I guess it's Roadside America. It's located in Arches National Park Utah which in the winter and despite it being in Desert Southwest does get some snowfalls over the winter. This one will be just after it has snowed and the sun is starting to break through the cloud. I will be inventing all the snow....
The first stage is the "drawing" up and tonal underpainting which was done with a small bristle brush and then a rag using a mix of Burnt Sienna and Winsor Violet thinned with Liquin.
The second stage was the first colour pass on the sky and more tone added to the landscape. Colours used were: Prussian Blue, Ultramarine Violet, Permanent Orange, Zinc White and Transparent Red Oxide.
