Paramin Hills- a slight ocean view


This view was taken way up in the hills of Paramin, where in the horizon you could see a slight view of the ocean. These hills are gorgeous, if you manage to have some free time on your hands, I would recommend that you should explore these hills and then try painting them.

I would recommend that you begin by drawing out the outline of the picture, after which you can paint the sky with a light wash of (light blue), then when the paint is dry you can paint the clouds. Don't add the blue wash where the clouds will be, just paint within the cloud area which is (white).

Make sure that the paint is dried, now you could then add in the highlights, by putting in the shadows (grey) with a tiny hint of blue and red and for the upper part of the cloud, you can use little touches of yellow but majority white. You can add white with yellow then put in shadows.

Always remember to blend the colors especially the sky, for the most part you can now add in the white part in the sky , just add a hint of grey and a tiny bit of blue for effect, the horizon has dark blue covered with a light grey mixture. 

The rest is relatively easy, paint the coconut tree leaves normal brown, yellow, and dark green, trunk will be brown with yellow and highlight the entire tree with dark blue for effects. 

Mountains- you can use a green wash and gradually intensify the pigment after it is dried, then add yellow to show where the light source is coming from, then for the darker areas you can use dark blue and for effect add a grey over the mountain peeks. 

Color the grass by allowing the paint brush liberty to add contrast to the background, in other words it is not suppose to look perfect, Don't forget to add in the houses. 

Go ahead have a go!!!  View more pictures of Paramin Hills
