Paint sky loosly with mixture of ultrmarine and prussian

blues. Leave some white clouds. Don't worry if the blue

runs into the mountains

 

Paint in the mountains with a mixture of madder and

ultramarine, soften a couple of edges. Paint in closer hills

with both blues + raw sienna, soften a couple of edges
