Painting Process

Sky and Background:
- Begin by painting the sky, using a mix of light blues and whites. Utilize smooth horizontal strokes to blend the colors and create soft clouds.
- Add small touches of pink and peach near the clouds for depth.
- Paint the distant hills with a muted blue-green to suggest distance.
River:
- Use a palette knife or flat brush to apply reflective tones of blue and white to capture the river’s surface.
- Incorporate hints of orange and yellow to suggest sunlight reflections.
Foreground and Vegetation:
- Start with the darker greens for trees and bushes. Use bold strokes to add texture and movement.
- Layer in brighter greens and yellows to suggest sunlight illuminating the vegetation.
- Add splashes of color with orange and red to depict wildflowers, using a round brush for dotting technique.
Details and Enhancements:
- Enhance the impression of wildflowers with small white and blue dots using the tip of your brush.
- Use a thin brush to add fine lines and strokes to mimic grass and textures in the landscape.
