hey there it's Ashley here welcome to create full art you know you haven't
heard from me for awhile and that is because I was moving we have moved from
Alaska to an RV and we're going to be traveling to all US states and I'm going
to be painting what inspires me in all those states I'm going to be sharing my
journey with you in my videos I hope you enjoy it
for those who want postcards you can become a createful Art member and there is
a link in the description below there are a lot of benefits to becoming a
member and so I hope you join us today we are traveling to Alaska to paint a
mountain scene so I decided to paint pioneer peak because I got to see it on
my drives in Wasilla and I really enjoyed the beauty that those mountains
portrayed we call it the Matanuska Valley and it's just gorgeous because of
all these farms that are right below this mountain and there's a glacier up
ahead and so there's this glacier River that flows right below the mountain this
is what inspired me to paint this picture because it's one of the things
that I loved about living in Alaska today I'm giving you this tutorial to
inspire your creativity don't worry about using my exact colors brushes
brush strokes use the steps to help you create your very own mountain scene so
the first step is choosing your colors and I'm going to use this plate as a
palette I give myself a great big clump of white in the middle so I don't lay
out all of my colors right away because my colors will dry on here and I don't
want that to happen so I'm going to do one color at a time and then bring in
all the colors
so the second step is sketching your painting okay so what I'm going to do
right now is take this blue make a very light color right here
and I'm going to draw the outline of the mountain as it is notice that I'm using
a flat brush to do this as most mountains are a jagged and I'm not
going to get so precise that I have to make everything perfect okay but I am
gonna look at my mountains and where I want them to lay and try to get my
composition correct I did this all freehand now if that's uncomfortable for
you you can always blow up your mountain and trace it or whatever you feel like
doing but I just like a free style of painting and so this is the way I do it
and I'm just kind of copying my mountains and you just do the same thing
find those shapes within your mountain okay so I sketched out the main ideas so
I've got where the trees are where I'm going to have a certain road where the
eye is going to lead up to my mountains okay and now that I have this sketch
done I'm going to go ahead and paint my background and with my skies I never
make them completely smooth for my own personal style you know it's really
personal how you want your sky but the reason why I want the sun to be coming
from this side is because on these little edges right here that sun is
going to come off of those edges okay and highlight them otherwise they really
don't get highlighted they end up just being really dark and the mountains dark
okay so go ahead and start building up your sky next thing you can do is come
down to these mountains it's a different colors to make these jagged okay see how
I bring in the warm and the cool and I grab another color and I bring it in
okay and I'm just looking at my photo reference and I'm seeing what colors are
bouncing off of these mountains and then I'm coming in and making them
bounce off the mountains right here okay so I have my purple here
and I just come over here and I add that contrast okay I'm just basically
covering the canvas and then adding you know some of the details as I go and I
kind of just work on this section for a little bit then I go to the next section
and I will be layering a lot okay that's what I'm just doing right now is
laying the undertone the basics of what's going on here and basically
what's separating these two is white this is where the snow melts it comes in
here I'm gonna kind of show you where some of the ridges are at and see once I
start putting in that contrast it starts forming the mountain like really quickly
so I basically find the main color and move it across that's I mean that's the
gist of it so now what I'm going to do is I'm going to step away from my
mountain for a minute and come down here and basically put down the main colors
okay feel the green ahhh...feels good I'm going to bring some of that purple down because you
should always bring in some of the color that's up here down here and over on
this side over here because the Sun is mostly through here hitting those and
then this has got a lot of shadow going on ah yes yes okay and this is just the
undercoating remember okay and see how this is just cut off like that that's
why I'm going to bring this up through here make it more of a curved going on
right here not in my reference photo and bring this
across so it doesn't break off so crazy right there
then really the river does go right here anyway you just can't see it that well
in the reference photo okay see how that works right are you ready for the next
step
alright so for this step so you're gonna focus more on the mountain and because
this is going to be my focal point I really want to focus on it so what I
want to do is I'm actually gonna come in and look at my reference photo and
really focus on the details so I come in here and I'm just adding what it's
supposed to be with large brush strokes you can do it however you wish for your
mountains so once you have your mountains to a place that you like them
okay then it's on to the foreground and this
is the next step so the foreground you don't want to have a lot going on
because this is your main focus right basically what I do when you come into
the foreground I always like to start back here this comes in right here with
some trees so I want my trees to point to the mountains okay this this is a
little forest right here Oh looking more like a forest okay
so then right through here there is a lines going this direction cuz it's a
field so I'm just gonna find the lines a little bit more then there's some other
stuff going on over here I don't know it doesn't better da da da just make it
look like something all the time I'm looking back seeing okay what do I want
to do is that what I want to do okay I'm gonna lighten this right
through here just so the eye goes there a little bit better so this step you're
just gonna add in more details but don't get too detailed
