Can you feel the cold? The wet show seeping into your shoes? The chill wind blowing?
If so…
Job done.
But seriously, I had so much fun in this painting. It is an acrylic painting on Watercolor Bond. SOMETIMES I like to paint on a VERY smooth surface, and sometimes I like the texture of the rag paper or canvas to show through. In this case it is hot press smooth watercolor bond. It gives smoothness to the paint when required, like in the silky frozen sheet over the water and distant blues in the sky.
