How To Paint a Landscape

   

Now you are ready to add the second layer which is the mountains. See my mountain tutorial.

Paint brush size 3 hardness 100 density 100 thickness 100 rotation 0 opacity 100 color #1e1e26.

Add a new raster layer and sketch the mountain

 

Airbrush size 15 hardness 20 step 30 density 100 thickness25 rotation 82 opacity 100. Airbrush just
below the lines of the sketch.

Push brush size 15 hardness 10 step 1 density 30 thickness 100 rotation 0 opacity 100, Carefully
push brush edge of the image downward.

 

Brushed bottom

Let's try to put more details on the mountain. Airbrush the light specks sideways, downward and airbrush the parts where the shadows should be and make the highlights visible where the sun should be shining.

Add a little color to the mountain. Airbrush size 15 hardness 100 step 30 density 24 thickness 100
rotation 0 opacity 100. Use color #6c714f, #88789c, #7d789c, #a19a93, #522210 and #252812.

Push brush size 11 hardness 50 step 1 density 36 thickness 100 rotation 0, opacity 39. Airbrush the
dabbed paint around the mountain. Tip: If the brush spread too much paint reduce the brush size, the
opacity, density, and hardness. And if does not spread enough paint, increase the brush size,
opacity, and hardness. Experiment until you satisfied with your work. See on the left.

Hide the layer 1 (background). Merge the layer 2 and 3.

Add a new layer. Paint brush size 3 color #000000 hardness 100 step 5 density 100 thickness 100
rotation 0 opacity 100. Draw a line as shown on the right. This is going to be a land.

Paint brush 26, color #754926, hardness 100 step 5 density 100 thickness 38 rotation 82 opacity 100.
Paint brush the image as on the left.
