3. Start with a wash and cover broad areas of the mountain scape using a single color like Grey or Blue. Leave white areas for highlights and allow to dry. Use the largest brushes available to paint broad areas, and smaller brushes for details.

5. Add additional details by working wet-in-dry once the first layers are dry to the touch.
