What you'll learn at the lesson

You'll discover:
How to use Ultramarine and Cadmium Red to paint realistic snow shadows – because snow is never just white
The alla-prima approach: working wet-on-wet so the paint does 50% of the work for you
How to create depth using "light against dark, dark against light" – a principle that transforms any landscape
Why staying "loose and suggestive" creates more atmosphere than painting every detail
How to finish a painting in one session – no waiting, no overworking, no second-guessing
