Here’s a wintry scene by Beatrix Potter. She used quick watercolour strokes over pencil sketches to show a snow-covered track disappearing into fields. The year is close to 1913, when she often painted the Lake District in winter. Potter wasn’t just a storyteller—she studied the land closely and loved sketching outside, even in the cold. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more of her work.
