Snowy Branches

I've wanted to paint this ever since I took the photo last year. I loved the way the snow looked on these branches. I don't usually like masking fluid, but branches with snow on them is impossible to do in watercolor any other way. I did the background wet-in wet, darkening it a few times to make the snow really pop. I have a lot more photos that I took that day, references for more paintings?

I knew you must have used masking fluid. Good job getting them to pop with the washes behind them. You should do a few more.
the snowy branches came out great. This is a lovely painting.
Very beautiful. Yes, more!
I usually don't like masking fluid either, but it worked perfectly her--what a lovely scene!
Thanks, Joan,Carol, Jo, and Laura. I'm working on another one.
