I demonstrated this cute holiday card with Snowmen 3 Ways for my son's grade 2 class last year on zoom and it was so fun that I decided to recreate it for you.
It is so cute and easy, you just need some watercolour paper, watercolour paints, masking tape, scissors, and paper towel. The backing paper from labels or stickers comes in handy too!
All 3 of these snowmen scenes are painted wet in wet.
In the first painting we wet the whole background and then lift out the snowman and snowbanks with paper towel.
In the second painting we wet the sky and snow separately, leaving the snowman dry.
In the third painting we mask out the crescent moon and snowman with masking tape and then wet the whole paper and paint the background over the masking tape, adding salt while it is still wet.
Don't forget to let the background dry before you add features and arms.
Paint the shadows on the 2nd and 3rd snowman wet on dry and then if you like you can soften out the edges with water. Just use a tea towel to dab your brush off so you don't flood water into your shadow. If you are a very beginner or doing these paintings with kids, you can skip the step of softening out the shadows. They will still look very cute with a hard edge.

I'm using 140lb Arches cold press paper and a set of Pentel Paints. I used Pentel paints for 2 years when I first started painting and I still use them for teaching over 20 years later. www.amazon.com... (not affiliated)
