How to Paint Snow with TJ Cunningham

Description

Live Dates: February 5th – March 6th

Snow isn’t just a blanket of white—it’s a dazzling interplay of light, shadow, texture, and color. This course will guide you through the challenges and joys of painting snow-covered landscapes, from capturing the subtle shifts in planes and light to creating atmospheric depth and vibrant reflections.

We’ll complete two finished paintings during our time together, exploring both expansive vistas and intricate details. By the end of the course, you’ll have created a guidebook alongside me—filled with step-by-step instructions, personal notes, and sketches to reference long after the course ends.
