Happy New Year! ✨
I hope this new year has started in a truly fantastic way for all of you, filled with creativity, inspiration, and beautiful moments in your art journey.
Today I’m excited to share my Winter Tale mixed media project, a piece inspired by light, contrast, and that quiet magic we associate with winter. This project is all about building layers, playing with texture, and slowly bringing the focal point to life through highlights, soft colors, and subtle shimmer.
I worked on a dark base to create strong contrast, then gradually softened the background with light tones and translucent layers. Textures, dimensional elements, and delicate metallic accents help guide the eye and add depth, while the final highlights and splatters bring movement and a snowy, wintery atmosphere to the piece.
Below you’ll find photos of the finished project, where you can really appreciate the details, textures, and light that make this Winter Tale come alive.
If you’d like to see the full creative process, step by step, I invite you to watch the complete tutorial on the Finnabair Art Files YouTube channel, where I walk you through each stage of the project and share my approach to layering, composition, and finishing touches.
Thank you so much for stopping by, and I wish you a year full of creative discoveries and joyful making.
Happy creating! 💙
