The depiction of winter landscapes in western art began in the 15th century. Wintery and snowy landscapes are not seen in early European paintings since most of the subjects were religious. The winter landscape that features snow as a theme is landscapes, even if some of these works include religious or even fantasy landscapes such as the ones in The Chronicles of Narnia. Rooftop conducted an interactive Winter Landscape Workshop with expert artist Gayatri Prahlad.

About the Artist

The Winter Landscape Workshop Began

She thanked the hosts for giving her the opportunity to teach this art form. She first started by prepping the canvas for the background with a shade of light blue. Gayatri then made the pine trees using a darker shade of blue. To paint snow, Gayatri used a pristine white color. She added finishing details with various shades of blue and white and created a beautiful winter landscape.

They also belonged to different age groups but their love for art brought them together on a single platform. The host thanked Gayatri for sharing her knowledge and skills about landscape art.
