This week we introduced landscape painting for winter. We had our first real snow of the season, and the easel is right near a window with lots of snow covered trees for inspiration! The first day, I put out a broad bristled paint brush, and the children used it to simply cover the paper with lots of apint. We called them snow storm pictures. The next day, I replaced the brush with a much thinner one. This required more dips into the paint pot, but also resulted in more detailed (and slower) painting techniques!
Here is day one with the broad brush:
And here is the same child (4yr old) on day two with the thinner brush:
Here is a six yr old girl working on a very detailed snow landscape:
