Painting Instructions

  1. Background Sky
    • Mix white with a hint of gray for the base color.
    • Using a flat brush, paint the sky with smooth strokes. Add a touch of blue to create depth and subtle variation.
  2. Distant Mountains
    • Create a blend of blue and gray to form the distant mountains.
    • Use a round brush to apply paint with loose, angular strokes, emphasizing the ruggedness.
  3. Hills and Trees
    • Mix greens with touches of yellow and orange to capture the vibrant foliage.
    • With a round brush, depict the rolling hills, using bold, sweeping strokes.
    • Paint the trees with a mix of orange, yellow, and hints of black for shadow and depth.
  4. Reflection in the Water
    • Focus on the mirrored image by using the same colors as their real counterparts.
    • Implement horizontal strokes to imitate the rippling water surface.
  5. Foreground Details
    • Concentrate on the rich and varied colors—utilize reds, dark greens, and browns for foliage and ground features.
    • Add details and texture with a detail brush, ensuring to capture the playful interaction of colors.
  6. Final Touches
