Aspen Trees
Difficulty: Moderate - Advanced
Don’t be intimidated by the look of this painting! Painting aspen trees is a bit simpler than it looks, which makes it a fun and impressive painting for a class like this.
This is one of the more advanced designs since it does involve some focus on your brush strokes, but this look is achievable and nods to the Vail valley without being too “touristy”.
Mountain Town Sign
Difficulty: Moderate
For the winter lover who wants to break out of the stereotypical “mountain painting” or souvenir look.
Great choice for beginners who want to explicitly commemorate where they are for this trip. Choose local towns and even towns that mean a lot to the individuals to personalize it even more.
Mountain-scape
Difficulty: Beginner
This can be leveled up or down to your skill set. Representing the beautiful mountains surrounding you in Vail, create sunsets, sunrises, snowscapes, or even a bold color-block scene reminiscent of a national parks poster (as shown here).
Skiers
Difficulty: Moderate - Advanced
For the winter lover who wants to break out of the stereotypical “mountain painting” or souvenir look. This look has gone a bit viral - and for good reason.
A really fun style to paint that allows you to play with color and not feel like you need to be “perfect”.
The background is easy, but you have to have a bit of patience and creativity to create your skiers, which increases the difficulty.
