Painting a Landscape
by Alain Descamps, France


On a new layer with difference in color according to the luminosity draw another mountains.



Create a new layer once again and paint the mountains in the foreground without forgetting to regulate the luminosity of the color. Its a good habit to paint on different layers so you can change/remove anything anytime.


One will now start to give a little detail to the mountains. The same brush is kept but one will play this time with the opacity and the flow of the brush. Also add some nuances orange to give the orientation of light and his height too.

One can also utilize the gum because, by withdrawing the color of the mountain, appears that of the orange sky which is in lower part but attention with the use, it is no return thus prudence with the opacity and the flow of gum. A mask of fusion is recommended.



For the mountains of the centers, adds a copy to the top and groups the two copies (Alt touches while approaching the separation of the two copies), which makes it possible to paint on the copy of top without that not exceeding a copy which is located in lower part.


Even practical that the preceding copy and one paint to give blows of light brushes of them, because smudge tool will come to help us to give an effect of spreading out (because one must perceive a little more snows), it is the tool “finger”.


For the clouds, one can draw them with a brush, on several layers by applying several directional and Gaussian blur, but one can also use the smudge once again :) Here, a cloud was defined as brushes, it is chosen and one places it (a blow of brush) on the scene.
