Use the chisel edge of the dark brown pastel to draw the tree trunks. Carefully blend.
Add a light layer of dark purple to the outer edges of the sky. Use pale blue pastel to lighten up the
center of the sky. Warm up the tones in the sky with light purple. Now create the glow from the sun as
it moves behind the mountain with the chisel edge of pale yellow. Lighten up the central area of the
sky with pink.
Use the flat side of the mid-purple pastel to lighten the center of the river. Next, add light layers of
purple to the mountains to indicate snow. Lighten up the reflections of the sky in the lower part of the
river. Create a dark shadow on the distant mountain, edge of the river, and ground below the trees
using a charcoal stick or soft black pastel pencil.
