Backgrounds are essential to great landscapes. Our eyes typically wander to the horizon line in a good painting. This is why it's important that our colors as well as the textures we lay down are accurate to what we are trying to depict.

In this video I show you how to paint the background as I continue with this landscape. I show how to paint the distant mountains, how to add light to the hills, how to mix the colors, and how to paint the fine details in the rocky cliffs.
