Winter Train

Train

Hello, everybody! I hope you're all doing fine. The winter scent is still filling the air, and so I've come to the conclusion that I will have to wait for creating spring decorations. Nevertheless, I thought that it's a high time to start some new year's great clearing up! While I was sinking more and more into the depths of my atelier, I encountered a painting which I created exactly one year ago - the Winter Train landscape.

Let's take a trip and relocate into the realm of winter, long walks in snowy woods and friendly, wild animals. I think that these words give the best image of my painting's climate. I created it using few methods - decoupage, paint and just a little bit of modeling. Below you will find a zoom on details:

The squrrel is part of decoupaged picture - a cut out and gumed in section. The truncated trunk is paited by me, as well as the drift on the right.

Above the upper part of paiting is visible. Here I used some modeling - I used a kind of clay to create the 3D effect of the clouds, mountain and smoke.

This part is my favoutire. The cute, old-fashioned cottage, or maybe shrine, somewhere in the forest, put among the sea of snow, drifts, and tall, lofty spruces; the wooden, old fance covered with snow, and that sunrays which give a little bit of warmth to that winter landscape. For me, the view is just magnificant and I had to add those drifts below and more snow onto the fence.

Have a great and sunny week,
