Tunk Mountains, Autumn, Maine

Lightly sketch the basic shapes of the mountains and foreground.

Block in the sky with light blue and hints of pink, using horizontal brushstrokes.

Establish the mountain masses with varying shades of green and brown.

Add the darker blue stripes to the mountains to define their form.

Define the foreground with broad strokes of beige, yellow, red, and green, creating a patchwork effect.

Use smaller brushstrokes to add details and texture to the trees and foliage.

Add final touches and highlights to create depth and interest.

Allow to dry and add a varnish if desired.
