2. Blend the Sky: If coloring a sunrise or sunset, gently blend your chosen sky colors where they meet.
3. Reflection Magic: For the lake, mirror the colors of the glacier and mountains above it, using lighter, slightly blurred strokes.
4. Texture Techniques: Use small, circular strokes for rocky textures on the mountains and short, jagged lines for the icy surfaces.
