I like the way it turned except somehow I got yellow snow (never a good thing). Maybe my Titanium White was too thick, Any suggestions?

Cliff: I bet you got tired doing those branches! The B/W version looks great; is that part acrylic? Need details on your technique to advise. The Ti white is typically very thick and would not go over a coat of Indian yellow oil paint without mixing to become yellow. If the white is made much thinner, it should go over the yellow oil paint without blending. So thinning Ti white with liquid white or mineral spirits may be the fix. Thin paint sticks to thicker paint.

Yes, the background is done in acrylic and the rest in oil. I will try to thin my white and go over it tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.

Excellent work! Seems simple, but it's not easy to accurately depict reflections.

Nice work.

Beautiful job!

Wow! Very cool!
