Watercolor Painting Tutorial: Loose Winter Trees & Snowy Details

In this short tutorial I teach you how to achieve my interpretation of a loose winter watercolor landscape. I demonstrate how I achieve two different styles of trees, from loose distance trees to textured detailed trees for contrast. We'll finish the painting with a touch of Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleed Proof White for some snowy details.
