This work was inspired by a bowl of strawberries which I photographed and manipulated in the computer. I had been experimenting with watercolour ground on cradleboard and was not happy with the intensity so I boosted the saturation in some places using gouache. I finished the work with Dorland wax medium to waterproof the paint.

This was a fun tutorial I followed trying to interpret the relationship between light and snow. Utlizing blue as the shadowed area on snow was very smart. It transformed 2D into 3D. Architectural perspective is something I?m still struggling with as you can tell from the little hut. Regardless a fun piece to work with.
