Alright, so.

Here's how I go about painting a quick sketch/impressionistic scenery/landscape painting.

And now you can do it too.

Remember- the more time you spend on it, the better it'll look!

Made this after following: [link]

You can see where the magic is missing ;p How do you get the sky 'clear' by the end? I understand the process at the beginning (rough then up), and I can manage about half way, but getting that feeling of crystal clear quality is just alluding me, do you have any suggestions? Or is just an illusion caused by detailing in the foreground?

I'll keep trying. But thanks for this tutorial, it's one of the better landscape ones to follow!

I'm not sure what you mean by clear quality.
If you mean the hard edges I just used a lasso tool for some of the peaks and a hardbrush for the others.

The sky is just a gradient and everything is layered on top of it. I take note to not paint outside of whatever the object is that I'm painting, like the mountains, I paint the edges and then paint inside those edges, never picking color or painting on the sky behind it. If I have to then I go back to the sky layer and paint it in.

Thanks, I wish you the best.

Thank you for this! I mainly do portraits, but I want to learn how to paint landscapes so this will be quite helpful.
