The Twilight Hour
Final Painting
Sketch
Step 1: Apply basic BG colour.
Step 2: Block in the clouds.
Step 3: Continue blocking in the clouds.
Step 4: Expand the clouds by adding dynamic variation. The idea is to create a stormy sky.
Step 5: Paint the background mountains, then move forward, painting the landscape in a layer fashion. Once done, paint the foreground elements to make it easier to separate the BG from the FG
Step 6: Complete the landscape (refine, clean, polish), then move on to the water.
Step 7: refine the water by adding ripples, reflections and contrasts.
Step 8: Finish the sky by adding more clouds + definition to existing clouds.

Here is the finished painting. The style is inspired by Hudson River School, though I still have to learn how to paint clouds a little better.
The Painting will be up for sale soon on Redbubble, Artstation and Displate. I just want to finish a few more paintings so I can upload a bulk of the paintings together instead of one at a time.
