Snowy Mountain Landscape

Just started on a snowy mountain landscape 2 nights ago. I am taking my time with this one. I am striving for my own unique look and feel, while getting the proportions correct in terms of following the rules of landscape shapes, sizes and distances. It has to be carefully calculated composition to make it look effortless and natural. Natural is the keyword here.

Started with the mountain peak first with the snow. I made some simple straight line drawings just to get the proportion correct in terms of how I want it displayed on the canvas.







Added more color to the trees and bushes. Tree needs more work.


and the final product


but I just needed to add one more thing...the little tinge of sunlight that can be seen on the grass
