Apart from a couple of watercolours of the Antarctic, I've never painted snow. So I am aiming to paint from a photo, I took on a railway in Norway. However it was grim weather, although it was in summer. I hope to be able to paint what it would look like in sunshine. Here is the ref photo. I was attracted to it as the exposed rock describes the shape of the landscape.

I’ve applied some blue shadow and sky as well as darkened the closer rocks. The dark patch in the top right hand corner is a shadow and can be ignored, but I think the sky needs another layer of paint. But do I need to add mor sunshine by adding warm colours to the snow in the foreground? If so should it be yellow tones or pink?

I’ve changed the colour of the houses and tried to cover up the pencil marks. I had to decide on where the shadow of the left mountain would stop, without putting the houses in shadow, but I may change this. Still have to make some sense of the foreground. But I do not understand why there is no road to these cottages. (There were no vehicles present, even in the summer.). Perhaps they are for lonely goatherds!
