Painting Process

  1. Background:
    1. Begin with the sky, using light blue and white to create a gradient effect.
    2. Use broad strokes and blend colors seamlessly to reflect a serene atmosphere.
  2. Mountains:
    1. Layer darker blues for the mountains, referring to sketches for tonal guidance.
    2. Employ a round brush for textures, using short, dabbing strokes to depict rugged surfaces.
  3. Foreground and Water Reflection:
    1. Paint the water with horizontal strokes, blending white, blue, and hints of yellow.
    2. Use line drawings to accurately place reflections, keeping brush movements smooth to mimic water's surface.
  4. Central Figure:
    1. Focus on the silhouette first, using white with a touch of shadow for depth.
    2. Detail the dress and hair with attention to light source and subtle color hints.
  5. Final Details:
    1. Go over the painting, adding contrast where necessary to enhance depth.
    2. Refine any edges, especially where sky meets land, for a cohesive look.

Finishing Touches

  • Let your painting dry completely in a safe, dust-free environment.
