[Tutorial] Process Speed Painting

So just to follow up the advice of my last post in my other thread, I decided to show a process of speed painting I did tonight, here are the pictures.

First you block out the basic shapes:

This will just be so you can plan and work easily and quickly.

Now I usually start in the middle, which is almost always the section of ground that is viewed most, here it is a simple layer of snow:

As now shown, I removed above rocks, painting is always about revising and thinking, as this was a speed painting, I could not do multiple rocks and get it done in one night:

I built off that layer of ice now painted and added a rock layer underneath:

Now that the ground is set, I move onto the trees.

Once trees are done, I move even higher into the mountains.

I then start adding atmosphere and distance.

Final revisions, added water:

That's really cool, if only I had a tablet :|

PS move background to foreground, you're doing it wrong.
