Plein Air Painting
Embrace the beauty of winter by trying plein air painting in nature. Head outdoors to capture the serene winter landscapes, from snow-covered trees to frozen lakes. Wisconsin offers stunning natural scenery that can inspire your artistic vision. Grab your art supplies, bundle up, and immerse yourself in the beauty of the winter season.
Map, Journal, or Sketch Your Garden
For gardeners, winter is the perfect time to plan and prepare for the upcoming spring season. Draw some saved seed pods or keep the inspiration alive by mapping, journaling, or sketching your garden. Visualize your future blooms, plan your planting layout, and get creative with garden design ideas. Use this time to reflect on past seasons and envision the beauty that awaits in your garden.
Practice Photography of Winter Subjects
Photography is another great skill to practice during the winter months. Capture the beauty of winter subjects, such as birds perched on snow-covered branches or trees against a wintery backdrop.
