Killarney, Co. Kerry

Sketch the basic shapes of the mountains, lake, and clouds, paying attention to proportions and placement.

Establish a base layer of light blue for the sky and a darker blue for the mountains and lake, using thin washes.

Gradually build up the mountain forms with layers of darker blues and purples, creating depth and dimension.

Add highlights to the mountains to suggest light and shadow, using slightly lighter shades of blue and gray.

Paint the clouds with soft, blended strokes, using a mix of blues, grays, and touches of yellow/peach for warmth.

Create the reflections in the lake by mirroring the colors and shapes of the mountains and clouds, but with slightly blurred edges.

Add subtle variations in color and texture to the lake to suggest movement and depth.

Refine the details and edges of the mountains, clouds, and reflections to create a cohesive and atmospheric landscape.
