Out on another bread run, I made a quick stop at William Hurst park to paint this scene of the park structure with a snowy roof. The sky was done first, followed by the ground in the front. Then I worked on the face of the building, and finally the trees. When painting in winter it is wise to choose a simple scene with separate elements. The snowy roof, which is mostly the paper showing through, acted as a spacer between the top and bottom. If the scene is too complex then the paint will run together since it stays moist the whole time you are painting. Actual snow was falling onto the painting which gave an interesting texture. Tomorrow is said to be cold but sunny, I will try to make it out for some more painting since work is over now for a week or so.
