Silver Light Hudson River

Lightly sketch the horizon line and the basic shapes of the clouds and land.

Establish a base layer of diluted grey across the entire canvas.

Begin blocking in the sky with lighter and darker greys, focusing on soft edges.

Add the cloud formations, blending the edges to create a hazy effect.

Paint the water with horizontal strokes, reflecting the colors of the sky.

Define the landmass with subtle variations of green and grey.

Add small details like boats in the distance with thin lines.

Refine the blending and soften any harsh edges to achieve a tonalist effect.
