When a friend of ours sent this picture to me, I knew I had to share it with you. I’ve been trying for two years to figure out how to replicate snowmen like the one painted here. It took me almost a year. It’s still a work in progress but I think I’ve figured it out.
I found this guy in one of my local galleries and he seems to be the guy I was looking for. He has this huge, beautiful, almost life-size hand painted snowman that he painted on the wood of a wall in his home. Its like a perfect snowman but the entire wood of that wall has been painted with a soft, pastel green color.
So I started over, working on some more content. I think I’m going to have to do this because we’re a little bit behind in our search so I’m just going to do this for a while.
He came in about two days ago and I’m glad to say that he just painted what he had already painted the day before. The next step is to paint the rest of the wood of the wall. In the meantime, I have some more content to do.
I think it’s interesting that a wood is the first thing a person would think to paint on a wall. I know we all hate what we see painted on walls, but I’m glad it’s the first thing that people think to paint on a wall.
Snowmen have become a staple of Halloween. People like to paint them on a wall for a few reasons: The original was made of clay which then hardened into an object. Wood can be painted with whatever paint will stick and is thus easier to remove. And yes, in some cases, snowmen look better than real snowmen. The point is, we all like our snowmen.
I have always loved the look of painted snowmen. I think the first time I saw one (and a friend) was in a picture book from my childhood. They were painted with a red, green, and blue color scheme. Then I found out that snowmen can have any color, as long as it is painted to look like snow.
With snowmen, it’s important to keep the color scheme consistent. This is because snowmen are usually made from a single color of paint so it is not uncommon for a specific color to be painted over a different color in the same pattern. It would be a disaster if a snowman was painted red and green and then a purple one. In that case, you wouldn’t know it was a snowman until after it was painted.
I think it’s a perfectly reasonable strategy to use when trying to deal with a snowman on death-looping. You would be able to find a snowman painting his body and then you would be able to use the paint and you would be able to make a snowman a snowman.
Using a technique that has been tried before by many a self-aware person, I painted a snowman on a wood. The first few times I had to stop and think, “Why the hell am I doing this?” But now it is something I do just to complete the look of the game.
