The Easiest Way to Paint Fine Art Winter Landscape

This is the final artwork of the Winter Landscape that I’ve made using the wet-on-wet technique which you will be learning in this blog step by step.

First of all, let’s discuss more on the wet-on-wet technique that I have used extensively for this artwork. This technique will help us in achieving a more natural and softer look and it is less time-consuming.

Wet-on-Wet technique is a process of applying layers of wet paint before the older layer of wet paint dries on the surface/paper which is already wet. We wet our surface using clean water before we start painting to give more natural flow and to create effects. It helps in blending colours softly with less harsh strokes and blurring out details to give a more natural yet abstract scene to the painting. One can also use the wet-on-wet technique along with the wet-on-dry technique (The process of applying wet paint on the dry surface or the dried paint). But we’ll stick to using the wet-on-wet technique for this.

Materials that I have used for this artwork (however, you can start with whatever you have right now):

A Brustro Artists’ Natural Hair MOP brush, a Princeton Neptune Series flat brush, and a Brustro miniature brush.

You can use watercolours, acrylic, gouache or oil paints but I’ve used watercolours of pigments Blue (Cobalt blue/ Prussian blue), Orange, Red, Black, Dark Green, and Winsor & Newton Designers white Gouache (if available or you can use white acrylic paint as an alternative).

Also, Winsor & Newton Masking Fluid Masking Fluid is used as a protective film to separate the paints getting mixed.

Brustro Watercolour Paper of 300 GSM or above.

Quick Tips:

Premix the shades that will be needed.

Tape down the sides of your canvas on a piece of cardboard or a pad to paint with more comfort.

Always keep clean water in small jars.

Use a watercolor paper that has more absorbency (300 GSM or above).

Also, never forget tissues to clean your brushes before you move on to the next shade.

Now grab a paper and brush and let's get it started!

1. First we start with sketching the rough figure of cabins and pine trees and mark out the details for the doors and windows of the cabins and the cabin fence. Take reference from the below image.

2. Next, we will apply desired Winsor & Newton Art Masking Fluid only to the cabins and trees. This will help us to separate the area for painting the sky later. And the paints will not mess with our cabins and trees. (This step is very important it’ll help to ensure that our colours are not messing with each other)

3. Then we will apply some clean water uniformly on the top side of the paper where we are going to paint the sky using any Princeton Neptune Series flat brush. Make sure that you apply a thin layer of water, if you see puddles that means you've applied too much of the water needed. The next layer would be using the Blue paint but we need to make sure that we use more water than the paint to maintain the transparency.

Next, we will start with swiping and dabbing the blue shade (while it is still wet) moderately in curves with any round brush as you can see in the image below.

As we move forward, we will add more blue shade and less water to give a little more opaqueness to our sky.

4. Next we add the shades of orange and red in the same process of swiping and dabbing our brush in curve stokes as we did in step 3 and then blend and try to merge it little by little with the Blue above so it gives an impression of a setting sun before our base dries out.

We can use the Bloom effect here, and to get this, we first spread a thin layer of the paint water (again make sure that you use more water and less paint) so that our pigment can spread blurring into the wet area, drop a splotch of paint in the wet area and we let it spread into its own, this method gives the bloom effect as it merges with colours on its own. As astonishing as it sounds it is more fun to watch in itself.

Make sure that you have built the depths of the colours slowly as you go with layers and layers, first with more water and then with more paint.

5. Now we take Winsor & Newton Designers white Gouache and blend it with a little bit of grey shade and brush right through the paper below where the cabin fence ends and a few strokes on the lower side of our paper to form the sheet of snow as shown. Blend the harsh edges with a clean brush to give it a softer texture.

6. Remove the masking fluid we had applied earlier to the cabins and pine trees (use a piece of clothing to slowly scrape off the fluid). And start by applying black shade to the cabins with a miniature brush, this time we will go from dark to light so our brush should have more paint and less water. Then move on to painting the pine trees, we will add pine trees near the cabins. Use dark green shade in a zig-zag motion again with a miniature brush to paint pine trees. Build on the colour slowly adding the details to it.

7. In this painting, we are depicting the scene after a snowfall so we’ll have to add the details of fallen snow using white gouache or white acrylic paint to the cabin rooftops and pine trees. Make fences around the cabin using black colour and add some white strokes to highlight the windows and doors of the cabins. Paint heaps of snow around the cabins and cabin fences by mixing a dark shade with the white gouache while emphasizing the details to get the final result.

Finally, mesmerize the art you’ve created!

I hope you guys enjoy the process of painting this beautiful Winter Landscape as I had enjoyed it when I first created it.

Astronomers use ‘little hurricanes’ to weigh and date planets around young stars Little ‘hurricanes’ that form in the discs of gas and dust around young stars can be used to study certain aspects of planet formation, even for smaller planets which orbit their star at large distances and are out of reach for most telescopes. Researchers from the University of Cambridge and the Institute for Advanced Study have developed a technique, which uses observations of these ‘hurricanes’ by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimetre Array (ALMA) to place some limits on the mass and age of planets in a young star system. Pancake-like clouds of gases, dust and ice surrounding young stars – known as protoplanetary discs - are where the process of planet formation begins. Through a process known as core accretion, gravity causes particles in the disc to stick to each other, eventually forming larger solid bodies such as asteroids or planets. As young planets form, they start to carve gaps in the protoplanetary disc, like grooves on a vinyl record. Even a relatively small planet – as small as one-tenth the mass of Jupiter according to some recent calculations – may be capable of creating such gaps. As these ‘super-Neptune’ planets can orbit their star at a distance greater than Pluto orbits the Sun, traditional methods of exoplanet detection cannot be used. In addition to the grooves, observations from ALMA have shown other distinct structures in protoplanetary discs, such as banana- or peanut-shaped arcs and clumps. It had been thought that at least some of these structures were also driven by planets. “Something must be causing these structures to form,” said lead author Professor Roman Rafikov from Cambridge’s Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. “One of the possible mechanisms for producing these structures – and certainly the most intriguing one – is that dust particles that we see as arcs and clumps are concentrated in the centres of fluid vortices: essentially little hurricanes that can be triggered by a particular instability at the edges of the gaps carved in protoplanetary discs by planets.” Working with his PhD student Nicolas Cimerman, Rafikov used this interpretation to develop a method to constrain a planet’s mass or age if a vortex is observed in a protoplanetary disc. Their results have been accepted for publication in two separate papers in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. “It’s extremely difficult to study smaller planets that are far away from their star by directly imaging them: it would be like trying to spot a firefly in front of a lighthouse,” said Rafikov. “We need other, different methods to learn about these planets.” To develop their method, the two researchers first theoretically calculated the length of time it would take for a vortex to be produced in the disc by a planet. They then used these calculations to constrain the properties of planets in discs with vortices, basically setting lower limits on the planet’s mass or age. They call these techniques ‘vortex weighing’ and ‘vortex dating’ of planets. When a growing planet becomes massive enough, it starts pushing material from the disc away, creating the tell-tale gap in the disc. When this happens, material on the outside of the gap becomes denser than material on the inside of the gap. As the gap gets deeper and the differences in density become large, an instability can be triggered. This instability perturbs the disc and can eventually produce a vortex. “Over time, multiple vortices can merge together, evolving into one big structure that looks like the arcs we’ve observed with ALMA,” said Cimerman. Since the vortices need time to form, the researchers say their method is like a clock that can help determine the mass and age of the planet. “More massive planets produce vortices earlier in their development due to their stronger gravity, so we can use the vortices to place some constraints on the mass of the planet, even if we can’t see the planet directly,” said Rafikov. Using various data points such as spectra, luminosity and motion, astronomers can determine the approximate age of a star. With this information, the Cambridge researchers calculated the lowest possible mass of a planet that could have been in orbit around the star since the protoplanetary disc formed and was able to produce a vortex that could be seen by ALMA. This helped them put a lower limit on the mass of the planet without observing it directly. By applying this technique to several known protoplanetary discs with prominent arcs, suggestive of vortices, the researchers found that the putative planets creating these vortices must have masses of at least several tens of Earth masses, in the super-Neptune range. “In my daily work, I often focus on the technical aspects of performing the simulations,” said Cimerman. “It’s exciting when things come together and we can use our theoretical findings to learn something about real systems.” “Our constraints can be combined with the limits provided by other methods to improve our understanding of planetary characteristics and planet formation pathways in these systems,” said Rafikov. “By studying planet formation in other star systems, we may learn more about how our own Solar System evolved.” The research was supported in part by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).

I still can't believe I won one of the official World Watercolor Month Giveaways but here we are 🥰 The supplies arrived the other weeks & I'm absolutely over the moon & grateful to now have them in my arsenal, especially since it's not that easy to get my hands on them here 🙃✨

At first I wasn't quite sure how versatile the colour palette of the paints in the set would be as it is a rather unusual colour selection. But having since painted with it a bit, I'm impressed at the range of colours I can get with just these 5 😍

The Princeton Neptune size 10 is the only brush I've tested out so far. It honestly does everything I need from tiny details to big washes, so I didn't feel the urge to reach for the others (yet) 💙

I have yet to be brave enough to try the paper 😬 It seems really nice & I still have that silly fear of "ruining" paper but I'll eventually have to face that one 🙃✨

I'm literally in love with your artstyle ahhhhh, if you're comfortable answering, what brushes you use?

Hi!! For one, thank you so much ❤️ and two- I apologize for the more than belated reply- I don’t mind answering! The problem is that I tend to dabble in a lot of different brushes and I’m constantly exploring them. At the moment my main painting software is procreate so I’ll mainly focus on that. I’ve bought and downloaded many over the years and while it’s hard for me to share them all I can share a snapshot of some of my main brushes in procreate specifically-

Max brushes are sold in sets (you need to purchase these) a couple of these are in the program- and the ultra soft brush is a favorite I believe still free but you’ll need to do some digging on the internet to find it (found it through earlier procreate forums(?) also I will say this- if you happen to have some photoshop brushes (even tool brushes- they just need to be converted into the right file) you can import them into procreate as .abr file

If you use CSP there’s an entire asset library where a lot of it is free (you can spend hours exploring free brushes through this) if you have Photoshop- Kyle brushes are great (don’t have cc though so I’m out of the loop of what’s current in PS)

Also! For my traditional watercolors- those water tube brushes are nice (the kind that holds water in the barrel/handle of the brush) and I’ve also been dabbling into more higher end brushes like the black velvet and Princeton Neptune series- they are both synthetic I believe but take a bit getting used to!

I hope this helps! I’m sorry that I can’t really get into all of it- my advice is to explore as much as you can- don’t worry too much about forcing things to work- practice with the ones that don’t click right away and just have fun!

Also- behold my abdominal labeling and organization;;

My background

It all started with me. The star child of Neptune. Or what it's most commonly known as, Long Beach California. I don't remember too much about my childhood. Only long days of swinging on monkey bars, playing tag, and crushing on the cutest girls in school. I then grew into a taller kid, a preteen, then into a teenager. Those times were rough, but whose weren't? Sometimes it was difficult to make friends due to my introverted nature, but my extroverted nature would come out and everything would be fine. Did I mention I started balding at 16? Such a depressing part of my childhood. I gained it back with Rogaine at age 19.

My Grades in K-12 were good, but to the kids that I compared myself to, they were mediocre. I spent a good deal of time practicing marching band, sports, and watching movies with my parents. I became a brown belt in Karate and competed in tournament at age 8. I don't regret anything from those days, only that I hadn't learned of rogaine earlier so I wouldn't be so depressed.

I finally turned 18 and I entered College right after high school. I took more courses than I could handle at the Californian Community Colleges, so I passed some, flunked others. It was win-lose. I became a M.D. at age 20 by passing my EMT course and a Paramedic/Surgeon at age 25 by passing AEMT. I received my Associates of Paramedicine here in Princeton, a short drive from my house at age 27. At age 28, it only took me a year in Harvard to get my Bachelor's (and eventually Ph.D) in art. It took only another year at age 29 to get my M.B.A. and J.D. at Tokyo University.

At age 31, I applied and was accepted as a CEO for several different companies. I won't bore you with the list of all of them, they are listed on my LinkedIn. I am 33 now.

Kepler's first exoplanet is spiraling toward its doom For the first time, astronomers have spotted an exoplanet whose orbit is decaying around an aging star. The doomed world appears destined to spiral closer and closer to its expanding star until they collide, obliterating the first exoplanet discovered by the Kepler space telescope. The discovery offers new insights into the slow process of planetary orbital decay by providing the first look at a solar system this late in its life cycle. Death-by-star is a fate thought to await many worlds — including Earth, in about 5 billion years. Exoplanet Kepler-1568b has less than 3 million years left, say scientists. “We’ve had theorists predict the fates of stars and their planets for decades, but we’ve never before had observations to test them against,” said Ashley Chontos, the Henry Norris Russell Postdoctoral Fellow in Astrophysics at Princeton. “We can also think about this in terms of our own solar system. How long will Earth survive once the sun fuses all its hydrogen into helium? We have some ideas, but ultimately it's hard to say for certain. These single-planet systems are really important for helping anchor these different theories.” Chontos is the second author on a new study in the Astrophysical Journal Letters describing the researchers’ observations of the doomed exoplanet. The first author is Shreyas Vissapragada, a 51 Pegasi b Fellow at Harvard University and the Smithsonian Institution. “We’ve previously detected evidence for exoplanets in-spiraling toward their stars, but we have never before seen such a planet around an evolved star,” he said. For stars similar to the sun, “evolved” refers to those that have fused all their hydrogen into helium and moved into the next stage of their life. In this case, the star has begun expanding into a subgiant. “Theory predicts that evolved stars are very effective at sapping energy from their planets’ orbits, and now we can test those theories with observations,” Vissapragada said. The ill-fated exoplanet is designated Kepler-1658b. As its name indicates, astronomers discovered it with the Kepler space telescope, a pioneering planet-hunting mission that launched in 2009. This world was the very first new exoplanet candidate Kepler ever observed, at which point it was dubbed KOI 4.01 — the 4th Object of Interest identified by Kepler. (KOIs 1, 2 and 3 had been identified before Kepler’s launch.) Early on, KOI 4.01 was dismissed as a false positive. A decade would pass before Chontos, looking at seismic waves moving through its star, realized that the reason the data didn’t fit the model was that the scientists thought they were modeling a Neptune-sized object around a sun-sized star. Chontos and her colleagues showed that this planet and its star are both much larger than first predicted, at which time the object entered Kepler’s catalogue officially as the 1658th entry. Kepler-1658b is a so-called hot Jupiter, the nickname given to exoplanets on par with Jupiter’s mass and size but in scorchingly ultra-close orbits about their host stars. For Kepler-1658b, that distance is merely an eighth of the space between our sun and its tightest orbiting planet, Mercury. And unlike Mercury’s 88-day orbit, Kepler-1658b whips around its star in just 3.8 days. For hot Jupiters and other planets very close to their stars, orbital decay and collision look inevitable. But measuring how exoplanets circle down the drains of their host stars has proven challenging because the process is excruciatingly gradual. In the case of Kepler-1658b, the new study reports that its orbital period is decreasing at about 131 milliseconds (thousandths of a second) per year. Detecting this decline required many years of careful observation. The watch started with Kepler and then was picked up by the Palomar Observatory’s Hale Telescope in Southern California and finally the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Telescope, or TESS, which launched in 2018. All three instruments captured transits, the term for when an exoplanet crosses the face of its star and causes a very slight dimming of the star’s brightness. Over the past 13 years, the interval between Kepler-1658b’s transits has slightly but steadily decreased. Why? The same phenomenon responsible for the daily rise and fall of Earth’s oceans: tides. Tides are generated by when orbiting bodies tug on each other, whether Earth and the moon or Kepler-1658b and its star. Both bodies exert gravitational pulls on each other, but the bigger body always wins, meaning that the smaller body flexes more. The tugging distorts each body’s shape, and as the planet and star respond to these changes, energy is released. Depending on the distances between them, their sizes and their rotation rates, these tidal interactions can result in bodies pushing each other away — the case for the Earth and the slowly outward-spiraling Moon — or inward, as with Kepler-1658b toward its star. There is still a lot researchers do not understand about these dynamics, particularly in star-planet scenarios, so the astrophysicists are eager to learn more from the Kepler-1658 system. Chontos, who came to Princeton only a few months ago, said that she is looking forward to discussing her findings with the theorists and other astrophysicists here. “I’m a first-generation, non-traditional student,” Chontos said. “I didn’t apply to Princeton for undergrad or grad school, because I had this vision in my head of what people would be like — and I couldn’t have been more wrong, in the best possible way. They’re doing everything right. There’s a reason why our department has something like 60 postdocs. And at coffee hours and colloquia, I have the opportunity to talk with the people who wrote the theory papers that inspire me.’” Kepler-1658b’s star has evolved to the point in its stellar life cycle where it has started to expand, just as our sun is expected to, and it has entered into what astronomers call a subgiant phase. Theorists have predicted that the internal structure of evolved stars should more readily lead to dissipation of tidal energy taken from hosted planets’ orbits compared to hydrogen-rich stars like our Sun. This would accelerate the orbital decay process, making it easier to study on human timescales. “Even though physically, this exoplanet’s system is very dissimilar to our solar system — our home — it can still tell us a lot about the efficiency of these tidal dissipation processes, and how long these planets can survive,” said Chontos. Kepler-1658b is about 2 billion years old and is in the last 1% of its life, she said. She and her colleagues predict that the planet will collide with its star in about 3 million years. IMAGE....Ashley Chontos, Princeton's Henry Norris Russell Postdoctoral Fellow in Astrophysics, was part of a team discovering that Kepler-1658b is spiraling to its doom around its aging star, providing a chance to learn more about the fate of other worlds as their solar systems evolve. Chontos also led 2019 effort to confirm that this object was an exoplanet, not the false positive it had believed to be for a decade.
