How to paint mountains.
Tone is important when painting mountains. The further away the mountain is the paler the tone. Mountains usually fade into a pale blue or grey in the distance.

When possible look at distant mountains and compare there tone to an object near you. The mountain will be a pale tone and the near object will have a deeper tone. If the near object is colored white, it will still have a deeper tone than the distant mountain. (more vibrant). An example of tonal diffrences can be seen if two red cars are placed, one close to you and one 500 meters away. The near car is bright red, the distant car is faded into a pale crimson or a grey. As a general rule mountains are pale blue in the distance, moving through purple and into grey as they become closer. Do not put a grey or purple mountain behind a blue mountain. Try to arrange the shape of your mountains so they slope into the picture, this will help attract the viewers eye.
Thats a nice lesson.never come across lessons so clearly demonstrated with details of color used and the brush. Enjoyed watching it and learned too.
