I've always thought there’s something magical about those quiet winter moments when birds perch on bare branches against a misty sky.
In this hour-long class, we’ll explore how to create this serene atmosphere using just graphite, a touch of Panpastel and paper.
 
I’ll walk you through my process for this peaceful winter study, breaking down everything from getting a soft, blended background that creates depth, to building up the delicate structure of winter branches.
We’ll talk about how to use simple silhouettes to maximum effect and why sometimes what you leave out is just as important as what you put in.
 
What You’ll Learn:
    •    Background blending techniques that create atmospheric depth
    •    How to build convincing branch structures with confidence
    •    Working with strong contrasts to make your subjects pop
    •    Composition tricks that draw the eye exactly where you want it
    •    Creating mood and story through simple shapes
 
This class works whether you’re picking up a pencil for the first time or you’ve been drawing for years. I’ll share the technical bits that make all the difference, but also the artistic decisions that turn a study into something special.
 
Perfect for anyone who loves the quiet beauty of winter scenes and wants to capture that peaceful, contemplative mood in their own work
