I used van dyke brown, black and white for the wagon and the hardwood trees.

I am using cobalt blue, white and black to make the snow.
Even the whitest areas of the snow are grayed slightly by using just a touch of
black. It is good practice to rarely use pure whites or blacks in a painting.
After the snow dries, I will add streaks of white mixed with a very small amount of yellow
ochre. This will give the effect of sun reflecting off the snow. I used van dyke brown, black and white for the wagon and the hardwood trees. |

I have an old dagger sable brush which has out of control bristles. This brush works great for evergreen trees. I'm using sap green, black and white. | |

After the hardwood trees dried, I streaked in a little
burnt sienna on the right side of the tree trunks to give the effect of light reflecting
off the bark. A little snow collecting on the branches adds depth and brings life to the
trees.
