Revisiting the Snowy Path, Ystradfawr Nature Reserve

This is inspired by a plein air study I made in January during a few snowy days.


I wanted to explore more fully the influence of colour, light and atmosphere I experienced on location, with the greater time and comfort that working indoors allows, while still keeping the spontaneity of loose brushstrokes.

Snowy Path, Ystradfawr Nature Reserve

Snowy Path, Ystradfawr Nature Reserve is an oil landscape painting alla prima en plein air in Ystradfawr Nature Reserve.

I was drawn there by the white, soft snow (which white really isn’t!) that created an enchanting effect everywhere.
