- Let's Paint a Snowy Scene with 2 colors!
Today I will show you how to pant a snowy path with trees in watercolor using only two colors of paint. I will show you how to mix blue and brown to achieve a range of warm and cool greys.

I loved this video! I'm only 13years old and your videos really inspired me to try painting since I would only sketch because I was scared of adding colour. But now I just want to paint all the time and I got new water colours!! :) so I'm painting loads now and I'm even becoming brave enough to paint my own things without a tutorial :) so thanks so much Lindsey! :)
Lauren beckett that's great!
Lauren this is amazing! I am 39 and your comment really inspired me to paint more! :)
Love this snowy scene! I was right in the middle of doing this, and had to stop, because...My "Sea Glass and the Lighthouse" books arrived! I was so excited, my paper all dried out, but I don't care. Love the book, its so bright, and all the colors are so beautiful! I'm giving one to my 3 yr old great grandson, he will love it. the other one is MINE, to put out on display. Love having your artwork sitting out. Oh, and I love how the book has the writing on one side, and then the whole next page is the picture, so if your reading to a kid, they can look at the picture. AND I have beach glass, from the opposite coast, so I will give him some of that to go with the book. Thanks so much for all you do!
Aww Diane! Thank you so much:) I am so glad you liked the book and I hope your Grandson enjoys it too! Hugs!
after watching about a hundred painting videos ,thankyou so much, as there are many talented painters there are few good teachers.....you definitely are
I am so impressed with your tutorial and your use of only two colors to paint the snowy winter scene, Lindsay!! THANK YOU very much for your willingness to share your joy of watercolor painting and your techniques. I am learning so much from you. My life is very blessed with all the creativity you share!
Sweet Autumn/Winter blessings........~Sandie
I just found you a few days ago and I am blown away by the endless bucket of talent and ideas you draw from. I can't wait to get my paint and supplies out of storage and get to crafting/painting/creating! You get my creative juices flowing! Thanks.
Jeanne Anderson thank you!
I had to leave the room and I forgot to stop the video and when I came back you were scraping twigs along the path area and the painting looked stunning! But as always the painting turned out beautiful! I love trees in the winter with no leaves. Thank you
Ah, but the weekend is coming - go for it! I did start finishing a water color I started in 1997 - just to get back in practice - while watching this over and over!
I just want to let you know how much I appreciate your channel. You are the reason I picked up a watercolor brush and a box of koi paints a few weeks ago and went nuts on some cheapo watercolor paper. I've never painted before, but your tutorials made it so easy for me to venture fearlessly into watercolor painting. Now into better quality paper and my first box of cotman colors, I'm hopelessly hooked. Thank you for being such a dedicated educator!
***** good for you!
I'd been painting for many years but the most freeing thing anyone ever said to me was, "Art is an opinion, your art is your opinion." After that, I stopped trying to please others. Freeing!
Good night Lindsay, very beautiful watercolor, thank you so much for sharing, wow thank you, happy week.
Claudia De la Mora happy week to you too!
Your definitely one of my favorites for watercolor paintings!
thanks!
Thanks so very much for your tutorials. I just LOVE them. I have no watercoloring experience and I am in awe of your talent.
You are too cool. I love to watch you paint. I've always wanted to paint but never had the nerve. You give very clear advice and I'm slowly getting my nerve to try. Thanks.🐈
This is lovely, thank you so much for posting. I love the hazy, dreamlike foliage. And just with 2, well 3 colours with the yellow at the end. Im definitely giving this one a go.
absolutely beautiful Lindsay...beautiful indeed...you sure have talent...
I saw the thumbnail and then the title. Only 2 colors!? Shut the front door! That's amazing, Lindsay :)
Thank you so much!! Mine is not nearly as good as yours - and I really don't like to do landscapes - but I finally realized that I need to just try these all out to learn - you are a great teacher! I was pleased with the end result - especially for a first effort - also - the added techniques were great! And, the using two colors...you showing all you could create out of them - fantastic!!! Thanks! Keep 'em coming!
Loved it... Thank you lots!!!!! I watch for all your watercolor video's and get so excited when you do them... Again thank you!!!!!!!!!!
oh gosh...it looks so easy when you do it....beautiful.
I have recently retired and look forward to spending time creating art with watercolor. Your videos are so so helpful. I love your enthusiasm as well as your talent. Your videos convey your love of art !
Wow, i just made a painting I did not just enjoy making. I am also really proud of it! Thanks to all your tutorials and your enthousiasm I am having so much fun painting myself!
Erna, the Netherlands
Erna Wander awesome!
That's fantastic, Lindsay! It's incredible that you can do that with only two colors. I just love your painting! And your new #30 round is cool too.
That was seriously fun to watch; thank you for sharing.
Just beautiful Lindsay...I can't believe you just used the two colors ...awesome! It's been a while since I've seen snow, been here in AZ for 10 years. Hopefully I'll get to see some in Feb when i move back to Oklahoma. Stay Creative ~Pauline
I love learning new techniques. Thank you for teaching me some new tricks.
Wish I could share what I actualky painted while watching this video...I am always so inspired by your tutorials and love love love how positive and encouraging you are. Just so you know, I painted a desert scene from memory of a trip we took in 2007 or so! Thought you might get a smile out of that!
I used phtalo green, cobalt blue, payne's gray and an unnamed brown color from an old cake watercolor tray. Since these are really just for me, I don't always care much about the quality of the paints I use, I just have loads of fun and relaxation!
Em Powers you can share A PIC ON THE FACBOOK group: facebook.com/thefrugalcrafter
So, so pretty!
Lovely tutorial and I love your splatters Lindsay!
What a beautiful "ez breezy lemon squeezy" painting, which really emotes the feeling of those cold and really snowy days where everything is all hazy. I just love how you paint for the beginner (You were the first watercolorist I watched and I painted and learned so much from your MANY paintings when I first started my watercolor journey and now a true passion for it a couple of years ago. I still come back to you, as your paintings still teach me techniques. I can't imagine how many of your followers grow their watercolor painting wings painting along with you and your always cheery attitude. I felt so bad, and you handled it beautifully, when you mentioned the comment about your tutorial, "Blue Skies and Birch Trees" and how "you ruined it with splatters." It seems rather obvious that if you don't care for a more loose and expressive style, simply leave out the embellishments that aren't 'your thing." It's a shame, but sometimes people sitting behind the comfort of the computer and anonymity can slap down some potentially hurtful comments without respect to how it may come across. And to be fair, it is entirely possible that no ugliness was meant in the comment. I do wonder though how many of your subscribers consider the infinite amount of hours you spend coming up with affordable, fun and varied projects, researching reference photos, gathering/purchasing supplies, editing, not to mention the countless paintings that you walk everyone through from beginning to end. Precious few artists teach like you do without having their subscribers pay a fee to become a Patreon. So, to end a rather endless comment, Lindsay, you are one of the most generous and joyful people I've ever known as you share your time and talent so freely, asking nothing in return. I just know your goodness touches people. It certainly has this subscriber and tremendous fan! 💕
WOW!!!!!!! You are incredible!!!!!!!!!
Another great painting .
Beautiful Lindsay!
You really make it look like anyone could do it. Amazing!
Nelly RG Anyone can:)
I joined paintmyphoto.. enjoying looking around .. I also enjoy your videos! Thanks, Lindsay...
My style is very clean and tight, like my brain doesn't leave any allowance for impressionistic or loose looking parts, so it's nice to watch someone else create in a way I can't, it's fun to see how your paint unfolds.
Love what you do with so little! And thank you for using the Strathmore paper you recommended for so long. Now I don't feel bad for not being able to get the more expensive brands. Beautiful picture Lindsay! Thanks so much! Love that you have all your archives saved and available for all to see! Thank you!
thanks so much:)
This was a wonderful tutorial. I will definitely check out your other ones. Thank you so much. 😁
Great trees! Brrrr looks like cold day.
Love this! Especially using only 2 colors to create such a nice effect of the snow scene and trees! Thanks for sharing your amazing creativity!
Beautiful....more Poppies please. Love them.
Watching again and again. Love this.
Sherlock Hoka thank you!!!
If I didn't see this painting done with only two colors I would not believe it. You are a master. Looks like some areas here in Michigan in the beginning of winter when things around here are looking alittle grey. Made me want to get out the hot chocolate.
I love the trees and your technique! You show us how not to 'think too much', which leads to perfectionism. It's a relief. A very nice painting!
Awesome.. ...stunning....
This is great. Thanks Lindsay....snow already! What the heck!!!
DonnaslifePart2 17", can you imagine?
Oh yes I can. I grew up in New Brunswick where snow regularly reached my hips ans I have lost at least one boot in that same snow.
We have a art group in my town. Only positive criticism is allowed. How could anybody criticize this wonderful person. I will never understand this kind of person.
Fantastic so much information I have learnt so much , thank you Lindsay, keep it up.
Fantastic!!! You are so talented! I wish I had a fourth of your ability!!! THANK YOU!
Great work Lindsay....thanks!
Lindsay, THANK YOU!! By watching your videos I have gained the courage to begin to paint with watercolors. I did this video and it has sent me on a roll!!
Beautiful as usual! Thank you for sharing. Mable.
More like this, please. Painting along was a much fun as I have had painting in a while
Thanks. Enjoyable and instructive.
c'est vraiment très beau bravo et merci de ce partage
Finally going to try this! I'm always amazed at how you can just get to it without a single bit of a pencil line! You are so talented. Thank you for your help and inspiration.
Yay! I'd forgotten the grays you get with UMB & BS. LOVE. Will have to check out that site. Thanks Lindsay.
Hi Lindsey Great Art work I love what you do
Just awesome. Wow 17" better you than me. Although we have a 70% chance tomorrow and Friday here in the mountains of Western Maryland. Our snow is coming, I am not looking forward to another winter, seems they are getting rougher the older I get. Oh well such is life. Take care, stay warm.
Teresa'sHandCrafted Items these last 2 have been doozies!
You make this look easy, will try this!
Love these limited color palette pictures I'm so amazed at what a few colors and Alot of mixing can accomplish!!!!
I learn so much from you and really love your enthusiasm. You are a blessing. Thank you.
I love this. I may try it myself.
Lyndsay! Thank you so much for sharing this site. Photography is also a hobby of mine. I take tons of photos that I will probably never use and can now share them as subjects on this site. At least someone else might find them useful. So...thanks!
Thanks! I'm learning a lot from your videos!
I really liked this video. This video has inspired me to start my watercolor paintng now. This would be a good beginner's painting to do first. I am learning so much from you. Dana
I love watching your painting tutorials. You make it so each to follow along. Thank you for making it doable for us beginner. Thanks and hugs, Joyce
Vow beautiful!!
Wow! love it. I have to say, I am always amazed when I travel how trees are different from place to place. I don't know if I can quantify or ever capture it on paper but I can understand an artist's fascination with trees because they really tell you where you are.
love it when you can get so much tone and texture from just two colours! thankyou :)
Love it Lindsay !! xo patti
I can hardly wait for winter now. Thank you for sharing your creative spirit!
i love the splatters .... i have started doing them ... THANKS for teaching that ... :)
I like that fuzzy look.
I love watercolor and it is such a challenge, but amazing what you can do with just two pigments.
Love this.....you always make it look so easy! You are the Queen of Watercolor tutorials!!
Wow this is amazing quality for 5 years ago! Can’t wait to recreate this :)
You are very entertaining to watch! And so damned multi-talented. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent!!
Awesome! You make it look so easy...I think I'm going to try it! Hopefully it turns out as good as yours.
Cold hands help make good shaky branches. Really like the painting.
OMGOSH! I loved this tutorial and always read the comments. THAT being said, I saw that someone (never heard of him) asked to make a collaboration with you which, of course, piqued my interest. I had to see who this person was and what, if any, collaboration was made. AMAZING - wait, let me think of a better word - OUTSTANDING. It was just a wonderfully, delightful idea that made me smile from ear to ear. SOOOO very glad you both did the collaboration. Never imagined it would turn out like that :) I've been a fan of yours for some time, and he got a new subscriber as well!
green5sing thank you so much:) And I am sure Julien from A CApella Trudbol thanks you as well;)
OMG!! This is totally awesome. I cannot draw orpaint. I do many other things, so I don't feel lost. Love ...love...love it...Jean
+Alberta Weaver thanks!
+thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich can u tell what paper u use.... Thank you
+Ritesh Pandey Strathmore 400 series I think:)
Lindsay, this was a fun tutorial. Thanks so much for posting another watercolor I love the challenge of doing it in two colors. Looks great.
It always amazes me because I think why did she do that it just looks like she wiggled the brush around and then I glance down and back up and say wow will you look at that it looks like trees in the background or whatever. Trust me I am not an artist but as soon as I get enough time I am going to "try" doing some of the things you do. Emphasis on the try. haha If it ends up being a big mess like you say it is just a piece of paper and you never know if you don't try. I appreciate you teaching us some of your knowledge. Hoping some of it sinks in to this hard head of mine. TFS!
Trees! I love them, I've not yet to this date made a tree I was happy with so of course I have to try this tutorial. Thanks again Lindsay
Very good tutorial and liked all your tricks of the trade..
Loved your tutorial.
beautiful art
Beautiful, Lindsay. It's amazing what kind of effects you can get in a picture by just using two colours, thanks for sharing it with us. x
I was just looking up this topic on UA-cam! Lol I'm jealous, I love snow and can't wait till it snows here! I live near Philadelphia, PA and we usually have to wait till January! I love this painting, it really does remind me of those snowy days! Stay warm and safe!
Just posted a second ago that I could not find the link. Well I just now found it. Thanks :)
Dear Lindsay,
I actually like your painting. Thank you for your lessons!
Great score on that "mop" brush, Lindsay. I love the softness of this snowy scene, TFS.
this is so awesome great job
I love your painting mostly the tree!!!!!
Hi. I learned something rather peculiar. I couldn't get my watercolors to respond like the way you do. The answer is in my tap water. The water is very hard and full of chemicals to keep it clean. The water interfered with all types of paint. The solution is to use distilled water. The author of the book said that tap water can cause the paint to fade, mold or discolor the painting. The life of the painting is compromised. Thanks for your informative videos, Lindsay.
theresa5 I use my well water and I have never had trouble:)
Cracked Heart Studio o.O Good to know. Thanks for sharing.
This is beautiful. You've inspired me to try water color. Thanks.
Great use of two colours and I actually thought the scene looked really great even without the tree :)
Makes me want to grab my brush right now! GREAT!!
Same here, I should have saved this to watch tomorrow since i have to go to bed now!
Who knew 2 colors could create such a pretty painting? Thank you for sharing - I learn so much from your blog and videos :)
Stay dry and warm! It's in the 80's outside today here in SoCal lol!
love it. Thank you Lindsay. Stay warm!!!!!
