Approach each landscape by first establishing the vast sky and broad background elements like mountains or distant forests. Focus on layering colors to build depth and texture in rock formations, foliage, and water features. Pay attention to the direction of light, especially in sunrise or sunset scenes, to create a sense of realism.
Colored pencils are excellent for capturing the intricate details of rock textures, foliage, and nuanced sky gradients. For broader areas like large skies or flowing rivers, watercolor pencils or blendable markers can provide smooth washes and vibrant coverage.
For mountains and cliffs, use cross-hatching or circular strokes to emphasize ruggedness and create shadowed areas that suggest depth. Apply gradient shading to skies, starting darker at the top and gradually lightening towards the horizon. Use subtle, parallel strokes for water reflections and gentle ripples.
This collection offers a range of complexity, from simpler forest scenes to highly detailed geological formations and panoramic vistas. It is best suited for intermediate to advanced colorists who enjoy intricate landscapes and a meditative coloring experience.
