I watched it, I seen you used photos for references, and from the looks of it, the sunlight 'dawn/dusk' effect was done by taking the appropriate colors and slowly blending them into the dark bits. What's amazing is how much blending snow/shade/darkness/shadows/etc require to look good with light, along with other pigments that need to blend into the darker areas to show depth and reflection.





I loved art back in my school days, but never getting the chance to draw what I wanted soured it for me. But it makes me happy to see others that can follow their passion, though
