Thank you, but actually i did nothing more than following instructions this time. Even the red birds are suggested in tutorial, and I agree it is a great suggestion ;)
Wintertime by @malvasia (Cristina Marsi)
Did this one as a test, after reading great Marilyn Speck Ballard's tutorial http://www.wetcanvas.com/Articles2/35425/528/ Although im not totally unhappy with result, it was very frustrating doing it, since while removing masking fluid, large chunks of paper came away with it :((( And it was no cheap paper or cheap fluid either :( I guess it had something to do with painting on wet paper and/or using salt for the snow effect. Anyway, here it is, enjoy :)
Well, for as frustrating as it was to do, it came out lovely. You depicted a snowy landscape wonderfully. The trees are very well done, as are the shadows, as always, and the red birds in the tree are a nice touch. Very nice.
