EARLY ACCESS // snow

so glad you like it!

Loish

Me too. That's one of the reasons why we came to California. Having warmth and sunshine most of the year is incredibly uplifting.

Snow doesn’t last long here in Brussels too... I love the atmosphere of your illustration so much :) It’s now the wallpaper of my phone 🥰

snow is majestic! but the cold really wears on me during the winter, maybe one day I'll move somewhere warmer.

Loish

Thanks greg! I usually add some saturated outlines around certain shapes to separate them from the background and add an extra pop of color!

Loish

Just stunning! Captures the magic so well. Why did you do the pale blue outline around the pants?

Greg Schultz

This is a magical painting! I feel the same way...moved from New York to California. Beautiful weather here but will miss the snow.

I heard about the ice skating race or something in Amsterdam when we lived there. It seemed like so much fun! Utrecht was really nice too, always got lost there. =D Really lovely study <3

Pernille Horgen Bø

could be! we've had really mild winters for the last decade though. it's just global warming i think. :(

Loish

That’s super sad about not getting snow there any more🙁. We’re having the leanest snow year here ever - east coast of Canada. But apparently it’s a La Niña year so we don’t get as much snow. I’m hoping that’s the reason and that other years we will still have great winters! Maybe it’s affecting your weather this year too?

Nicole May

thanks and hopefully so. can't wait for that day as I'm over this sub-tropical weather lol

thank you! it's a really interesting experience, because everything gets really quiet when there's snow because it absorbs a lot of sound. hopefully you can experience it one day! :)

Loish

I've never seen snow in person but this picture really makes me feel like I've experienced it. The blue tones really gives me a calm feeling. Really liking this piece :D

This is my new screensaver hehe! I love when so zoom in and can see the fantastic brushstrokes, my brain fills in the detail from a distance. Super cool :)

libby

thank you! this is why I love making studies and gathering reference. because it helps me identify those smaller details :)

Loish

I love the atmosphere in this piece, it brought back some memories from skiing trips in my childhood.

*Screeches* I love the fade effect and I’m oddly really liking the cable lines design? ( Probably brush) lol. But what really caught my attention was the plants to the bottom left, like... It added such a realistic element to the picture. I know it might come off as insignificant, but I really admire the attention to detail!

i love this, Loish!

Same in Canada, specifically close to the border with the US. It makes me so sad because I love snow!
