Snow Game-walking in the snow ( step by step painting Process)

by Maria Madonna Davidoff

It's snowing heavily again today and so as a tribute to the weather, 

I created this painting entitled " Walking on a Snowy Day". 

Let me share you my step by step process:

1. I did a rough sketch with pencil on newsprint paper: 

( based purely on my imagination-no photo references or model was used here )

2. Using acrylic and canvas , I started painting the background using

mainly sky blue diluted with Titanium white.

3. Then I continued putting on other colors of yellows and cadmium orange with
bits or raw sienna and white for the skin tone

4. I continue to cover the whole canvas with colors:

5. I continued the painting by outlining all the elements with a brush. 

6. Finally, I painted the snow falling:

Voila! The painting is finished:  total time of work:  3 hours

medium: acrylic on canvas size: 16" x 20"

Self Portrait of myself at Eight

This painting is part of my paintings called
The little Girl Series

This painting is part of my " The little Girl Series " They were started when my mother just passed. When someone you love very deeply is gone, there will always be an emptiness inside you. I felt very very empty and sad when my mom died and very, very alone. My mother always told me that I will always be her little girl. These paintings are a tribute to that period of my time with her as a child.
