Mountain Heights, Cader Idris

Lightly sketch the basic shapes of the mountains and sky.

Apply a light wash of diluted yellow ochre and burnt sienna to the foreground rocks.

Add a wash of diluted blue and brown to the mid-ground mountains, creating darker values.

Create the sky with a light blue wash, leaving some areas white for clouds.

Layer washes of gray and blue to build up the mountain forms, focusing on creating depth.

Use a dry brush technique to add texture to the rocks and mountains.

Add darker accents with a small brush to define shadows and details.

Soften edges with a clean, damp brush to create atmospheric effects.
