Today, the renowned watercolourist, Geoff Kersey, demonstrates one of his Inspirations series a beautiful snow covered scene with winter trees and rustic old barn.

With advice on colour mixing and tonal values, Geoff uses wetinwet washes for the skies and uses the same techniques for painting the distant trees, before going on to paint in the foreground trees using dry brushwork with clever tips for creating the shadows on the snowy ground to add depth and realism.
