Let's Paint a Snowy Scene with 2 colors!

[@dianemurray8379]

Love this snowy scene! I was right in the middle of doing this, and had to stop, because...My "Sea Glass and the Lighthouse" books arrived! I was so excited, my paper all dried out, but I don't care. Love the book, its so bright, and all the colors are so beautiful! I'm giving one to my 3 yr old great grandson, he will love it. the other one is MINE, to put out on display. Love having your artwork sitting out. Oh, and I love how the book has the writing on one side, and then the whole next page is the picture, so if your reading to a kid, they can look at the picture. AND I have beach glass, from the opposite coast, so I will give him some of that to go with the book. Thanks so much for all you do!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Aww Diane! Thank you so much:) I am so glad you liked the book and I hope your Grandson enjoys it too! Hugs!

[@HopiTrails1]

after watching about a hundred painting videos ,thankyou so much, as there are many talented painters there are few good teachers.....you definitely are

[@sandrahurst2794]

I am so impressed with your tutorial and your use of only two colors to paint the snowy winter scene, Lindsay!! THANK YOU very much for your willingness to share your joy of watercolor painting and your techniques. I am learning so much from you. My life is very blessed with all the creativity you share! Sweet Autumn/Winter blessings........~Sandie

[@TrueLoveX1027]

What a beautiful "ez breezy lemon squeezy" painting, which really emotes the feeling of those cold and really snowy days where everything is all hazy. I just love how you paint for the beginner (You were the first watercolorist I watched and I painted and learned so much from your MANY paintings when I first started my watercolor journey and now a true passion for it a couple of years ago. I still come back to you, as your paintings still teach me techniques. I can't imagine how many of your followers grow their watercolor painting wings painting along with you and your always cheery attitude. I felt so bad, and you handled it beautifully, when you mentioned the comment about your tutorial, "Blue Skies and Birch Trees" and how "you ruined it with splatters." It seems rather obvious that if you don't care for a more loose and expressive style, simply leave out the embellishments that aren't 'your thing." It's a shame, but sometimes people sitting behind the comfort of the computer and anonymity can slap down some potentially hurtful comments without respect to how it may come across. And to be fair, it is entirely possible that no ugliness was meant in the comment. I do wonder though how many of your subscribers consider the infinite amount of hours you spend coming up with affordable, fun and varied projects, researching reference photos, gathering/purchasing supplies, editing, not to mention the countless paintings that you walk everyone through from beginning to end. Precious few artists teach like you do without having their subscribers pay a fee to become a Patreon. So, to end a rather endless comment, Lindsay, you are one of the most generous and joyful people I've ever known as you share your time and talent so freely, asking nothing in return. I just know your goodness touches people. It certainly has this subscriber and tremendous fan! 💕

[@jeanieferretti4203]

I had to leave the room and I forgot to stop the video and when I came back you were scraping twigs along the path area and the painting looked stunning! But as always the painting turned out beautiful! I love trees in the winter with no leaves. Thank you

[@BlingBug3794]

I just found you a few days ago and I am blown away by the endless bucket of talent and ideas you draw from. I can't wait to get my paint and supplies out of storage and get to crafting/painting/creating! You get my creative juices flowing! Thanks.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Jeanne Anderson thank you!

[@joanngordon7955]

Ah, but the weekend is coming - go for it! I did start finishing a water color I started in 1997 - just to get back in practice - while watching this over and over!

[@kahnaemery7767]

I love the trees and your technique! You show us how not to 'think too much', which leads to perfectionism. It's a relief. A very nice painting!

[@ClaudiaDelaMora2308]

Good night Lindsay, very beautiful watercolor, thank you so much for sharing, wow thank you, happy week.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Claudia De la Mora happy week to you too!

[@Kamalkibaathai]

I just want to let you know how much I appreciate your channel. You are the reason I picked up a watercolor brush and a box of koi paints a few weeks ago and went nuts on some cheapo watercolor paper. I've never painted before, but your tutorials made it so easy for me to venture fearlessly into watercolor painting. Now into better quality paper and my first box of cotman colors, I'm hopelessly hooked. Thank you for being such a dedicated educator!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

***** good for you!

[@maryanngenre7892]

Thanks so very much for your tutorials. I just LOVE them. I have no watercoloring experience and I am in awe of your talent.

[@joannestupak4749]

You are too cool. I love to watch you paint. I've always wanted to paint but never had the nerve. You give very clear advice and I'm slowly getting my nerve to try. Thanks.🐈

[@wendouse8893]

This is lovely, thank you so much for posting. I love the hazy, dreamlike foliage. And just with 2, well 3 colours with the yellow at the end. Im definitely giving this one a go.

[@junierichardson7157]

absolutely beautiful Lindsay...beautiful indeed...you sure have talent...

[@redsunset7856]

I have recently retired and look forward to spending time creating art with watercolor. Your videos are so so helpful. I love your enthusiasm as well as your talent. Your videos convey your love of art !

[@deborahhargadon3325]

Lindsay, THANK YOU!! By watching your videos I have gained the courage to begin to paint with watercolors. I did this video and it has sent me on a roll!!

[@Nomadicrose]

Just beautiful Lindsay...I can't believe you just used the two colors ...awesome! It's been a while since I've seen snow, been here in AZ for 10 years. Hopefully I'll get to see some in Feb when i move back to Oklahoma. Stay Creative ~Pauline

[@raycollins4251]

I love learning new techniques. Thank you for teaching me some new tricks.

[@tamarak.4447]

That's fantastic, Lindsay! It's incredible that you can do that with only two colors. I just love your painting! And your new #30 round is cool too.

[@empowers1895]

Wish I could share what I actualky painted while watching this video...I am always so inspired by your tutorials and love love love how positive and encouraging you are. Just so you know, I painted a desert scene from memory of a trip we took in 2007 or so! Thought you might get a smile out of that!

[@empowers1895]

I used phtalo green, cobalt blue, payne's gray and an unnamed brown color from an old cake watercolor tray. Since these are really just for me, I don't always care much about the quality of the paints I use, I just have loads of fun and relaxation!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Em Powers you can share A PIC ON THE FACBOOK group: facebook.com/thefrugalcrafter

[@muralistl]

Loved it... Thank you lots!!!!! I watch for all your watercolor video's and get so excited when you do them... Again thank you!!!!!!!!!!

[@laurenbeckett8955]

I loved this video! I'm only 13years old and your videos really inspired me to try painting since I would only sketch because I was scared of adding colour. But now I just want to paint all the time and I got new water colours!! :) so I'm painting loads now and I'm even becoming brave enough to paint my own things without a tutorial :) so thanks so much Lindsey! :)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Lauren beckett that's great!

[@StellaShakti]

Lauren this is amazing! I am 39 and your comment really inspired me to paint more! :)

[@ernawander5800]

Wow, i just made a painting I did not just enjoy making. I am also really proud of it! Thanks to all your tutorials and your enthousiasm I am having so much fun painting myself! Erna, the Netherlands

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Erna Wander awesome!

[@bsbrandt3]

More like this, please. Painting along was a much fun as I have had painting in a while

[@denisechapel1040]

Love this.....you always make it look so easy! You are the Queen of Watercolor tutorials!!

[@donnamarie1006]

Finally going to try this! I'm always amazed at how you can just get to it without a single bit of a pencil line! You are so talented. Thank you for your help and inspiration.

[@KittehNow]

oh gosh...it looks so easy when you do it....beautiful.

[@nuheart613]

That was seriously fun to watch; thank you for sharing.

[@stephaniewheeler2006]

Lovely tutorial and I love your splatters Lindsay!

[@melodief3848]

Beautiful....more Poppies please. Love them.

[@theresesprinkle2103]

Another great painting .

[@mbarbaraduris2992]

Love this! Especially using only 2 colors to create such a nice effect of the snow scene and trees! Thanks for sharing your amazing creativity!

[@SandraChidester72629]

I joined paintmyphoto.. enjoying looking around .. I also enjoy your videos! Thanks, Lindsay...

[@kristenk1995]

Wow! love it. I have to say, I am always amazed when I travel how trees are different from place to place. I don't know if I can quantify or ever capture it on paper but I can understand an artist's fascination with trees because they really tell you where you are.

[@Blissfulthings]

love it when you can get so much tone and texture from just two colours! thankyou :)

[@JoyceNEnjoyScrappin2]

I love watching your painting tutorials. You make it so each to follow along. Thank you for making it doable for us beginner. Thanks and hugs, Joyce

[@elizabethfrei9379]

Your definitely one of my favorites for watercolor paintings!

[@viviangassan5506]

[@woodsarthobbies6515]

This was a wonderful tutorial. I will definitely check out your other ones. Thank you so much. 😁

[@maisievaughan8737]

Fantastic so much information I have learnt so much , thank you Lindsay, keep it up.

[@imnotfromhere]

I saw the thumbnail and then the title. Only 2 colors!? Shut the front door! That's amazing, Lindsay :)

[@nadinesawtell3267]

Hi Lindsey Great Art work I love what you do

[@amymclaughlin1201]

Love these limited color palette pictures I'm so amazed at what a few colors and Alot of mixing can accomplish!!!!

[@glyndablack6601]

Lindsay, this was a fun tutorial. Thanks so much for posting another watercolor I love the challenge of doing it in two colors. Looks great.

[@DonnaslifePart2]

This is great. Thanks Lindsay....snow already! What the heck!!!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

DonnaslifePart2 17", can you imagine?

[@DonnaslifePart2]

Oh yes I can. I grew up in New Brunswick where snow regularly reached my hips ans I have lost at least one boot in that same snow.

[@barbmarks2566]

Great work Lindsay....thanks!

[@susananthony2084]

So, so pretty!

[@ericsamuelson5968]

I'd been painting for many years but the most freeing thing anyone ever said to me was, "Art is an opinion, your art is your opinion." After that, I stopped trying to please others. Freeing!

[@jkgray0313]

Fantastic!!! You are so talented! I wish I had a fourth of your ability!!! THANK YOU!

[@bejayroles5820]

Beautiful, Lindsay. It's amazing what kind of effects you can get in a picture by just using two colours, thanks for sharing it with us. x

[@lori23rd]

If I didn't see this painting done with only two colors I would not believe it. You are a master. Looks like some areas here in Michigan in the beginning of winter when things around here are looking alittle grey. Made me want to get out the hot chocolate.

[@thanh-hungnguyen2866]

Dear Lindsay, I actually like your painting. Thank you for your lessons!

[@rxstrmom]

Love it Lindsay !! xo patti

[@Dingdongtime]

My style is very clean and tight, like my brain doesn't leave any allowance for impressionistic or loose looking parts, so it's nice to watch someone else create in a way I can't, it's fun to see how your paint unfolds.

[@sharonfrench1087]

Great trees! Brrrr looks like cold day.

[@roselynejames5610]

c'est vraiment très beau bravo et merci de ce partage

[@e.lynnphilipp2802]

You are very entertaining to watch! And so damned multi-talented. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent!!

[@tinakloepfer1581]

Who knew 2 colors could create such a pretty painting? Thank you for sharing - I learn so much from your blog and videos :) Stay dry and warm! It's in the 80's outside today here in SoCal lol!

[@teresab1341]

Love what you do with so little! And thank you for using the Strathmore paper you recommended for so long. Now I don't feel bad for not being able to get the more expensive brands. Beautiful picture Lindsay! Thanks so much! Love that you have all your archives saved and available for all to see! Thank you!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

thanks so much:)

[@maryblock1775]

I learn so much from you and really love your enthusiasm. You are a blessing. Thank you.

Watching again and again. Love this.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

[@susiepeterson-lalonde4197]

Trees! I love them, I've not yet to this date made a tree I was happy with so of course I have to try this tutorial. Thanks again Lindsay

[@danakolpin1289]

I really liked this video. This video has inspired me to start my watercolor paintng now. This would be a good beginner's painting to do first. I am learning so much from you. Dana

[@seansmith8002]

Great use of two colours and I actually thought the scene looked really great even without the tree :)

[@lindseymae4065]

Wow this is amazing quality for 5 years ago! Can’t wait to recreate this :)

[@MsMaria990]

[@JaniceKemp82]

You make this look easy, will try this!

[@Candeekissez]

Great score on that "mop" brush, Lindsay. I love the softness of this snowy scene, TFS.

[@TeresasCraftingChaos63]

Just awesome. Wow 17" better you than me. Although we have a 70% chance tomorrow and Friday here in the mountains of Western Maryland. Our snow is coming, I am not looking forward to another winter, seems they are getting rougher the older I get. Oh well such is life. Take care, stay warm.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Teresa'sHandCrafted Items these last 2 have been doozies!

[@DianaTrout]

Yay! I'd forgotten the grays you get with UMB & BS. LOVE. Will have to check out that site. Thanks Lindsay.

[@lucir1000]

[@darleneiglehart6605]

Cold hands help make good shaky branches. Really like the painting.

[@carole6264]

Wow I love this painting!! You make it look so easy and I am inspired to give it a try. I love how the water color flows so nicely. Thank you for sharing your talents.

I love how your tree branch turned into a heart. Thanks for all the great videos, they are amazing and simple and that's great for someone like me.... BIG THUMBS UP👍

[@vickikee9862]

Lyndsay! Thank you so much for sharing this site. Photography is also a hobby of mine. I take tons of photos that I will probably never use and can now share them as subjects on this site. At least someone else might find them useful. So...thanks!

[@amysamin]

Just beautiful, and I love the way you describe what you're doing and give tips. I have always felt very insecure about my painting abilities (my older sister was always the one who was good at art) but your videos inspire me and give me the urge to try again. Thank you!

[@SusannaM]

Beautiful. Love your colour in this one. Thank you!

[@pamrobinson7050]

We have a art group in my town. Only positive criticism is allowed. How could anybody criticize this wonderful person. I will never understand this kind of person.

[@cshula1]

I like that fuzzy look.

Very good tutorial and liked all your tricks of the trade..

[@annsowers4591]

I love this. I may try it myself.

Thank you for this idea Lindsay. This would make a lovely Christmas card that is just that little bit different!

[@raykaren87]

That was something amazing to behold! I just found your videos and love how exited and joyful you are about such a wide variety of arts and crafts. You are very inspirational.
