A December Day

In this lesson, you will learn how to:

• Capture the blinding whiteness and texture of freshly fallen snow, using a sharp contrast between brilliant sunlight and deep ultramarine shadows.

• Render the intricate, graphic linework of snow-laden branches and massive tree trunks, establishing the perspective of a winter forest path with clear depth.

• Master the complex undertones of winter light, capturing soft golden dapples on tree bark and a crisp, cold blue sky filtering through the canopy.
