Painting Steps

  1. Background and Sky
    • Mix a light blue for the sky, gradually adding white to lighten towards the horizon.
    • Use broad brushstrokes to create clouds with white and subtle greys.
    • Add depth by blending small amounts of purple into the shadows of the clouds.
  2. Mountains
    • Use deep blues and purples for the distant mountains, creating a sense of depth.
    • Blend in yellow and orange to depict sunlight and shadows over the hilltops.
    • Use fine brushes to detail the jagged peaks and ridges.
  3. River
    • Mix shades of blue and green to capture the reflective quality of the water.
    • Ensure smooth transitions between colors to create a fluid appearance.
    • Add highlights using a lighter blue or white to mimic sunlight glinting off the river’s surface.
  4. Foreground and Hills
    • Layer various greens and browns to depict the rolling hills and vegetation.
    • Integrate pinks and reds for wildflowers, contrasting with the greens.
    • Use smaller brushes to define individual plants and rocks, adding texture and detail.
  5. Finishing Touches
    • Review the painting for any areas needing more detail or color balance.
    • Use a thin brush for final details, such as fine lines on rocks or highlights on flowers.
    • Step back frequently to assess the painting’s overall harmony and depth.
