Begin by setting up your workspace with the provided line drawing grid. This grid will help ensure accuracy in proportions and composition. Lightly sketch the main outlines onto your canvas to guide your painting.
Mix shades of light blue, and start painting the sky using broad, smooth strokes. Notice the soft blend of white for the clouds; use a larger brush or palette knife for this effect.
With the sky dry, begin working on the mountain itself. Use a mix of darker blues and purples for the shadowed areas, transitioning into vibrant pinks and oranges for the sunlit peaks. Refer to your color wheel for matching hues.
Move downward, implementing shades of green, yellow, and rich reds. Use both brush and palette knife for texture to mimic the rugged terrain. Focus on contrasts between light and shadow to add depth.
For the body of water, apply darker blues and greens. To add a touch of realism, softly blend reflections of the mountain into the lake using horizontal strokes to mimic water’s surface. Add hints of white for reflective highlights.
Enhance the painting’s depth and detail by going back over any areas needing refinement. Add final touches of bright colors in the foreground rocks and vegetation. Use finer brushes for detailing shadows and highlights.
Step back and evaluate your recreation of Mount Keen. Compare to the source painting image in your pack for accuracy in colors and composition. Add any final adjustments as necessary, ensuring it captures the vibrant essence of the original artwork.
Congratulations on completing your painting! Display your masterpiece proudly, a testament to your artistic skills and the splendor of Mount Keen.
