Before I even began painting this picture I compiled many pencil sketches in order to plan the composition so I could see what would work and what wasn’t going to work in the picture. In order to create the story of this painting I decided what elements I wanted in the scene and where I wanted my main focal point to be. Depth within a painting can be achieved by having strategically placed focal points and effective use of colour to create atmosphere and space within the painting. In order to create an engaging mountain landscape painting first of all we need to plan our picture so we can determine what the painting is about. It is a huge mountain range which ultimately leads to the epic Milford Sound, this is a great subject for landscape painting. This landscape painting is based on Mount Talbot in Fiordland, New Zealand.

In this step by step painting demonstration I am going to show you how to paint this mountain landscape shown in the picture below. I look up to these guys for inspiration and I seek to emulate their techniques for my own landscape paintings. From the low chroma depth of the mountains in August Wilhelm Leu’s work to the natural organic vibrancy of the foliage in the works of Peder Mork Monsted, I love the way these guys composed their paintings and their use of colour and tone.
Many of my influences come from 19th Century landscape painters, my favourite artists including Peder Mork Monsted, August Wilhelm Leu, Ivan Shishkin, and Even Ulving to name a few. I love landscape art, especially traditional realism painting and I have been painting landscapes for many years.
