Gradient’s parameters:

Now we must introduce on the picture the sun, colored with #EDF7F8 and made with the Ellipse Tool (U). Place the sun’s layer lower than the layer containing the hillock, bordering with the sun (on the layers’ panel).

The layer’s parameters: Blending Options>Outer Glow

Now we’ll represent the fir tree. For the beginning we’ll make the tree’s top, colored with #6588B6 and then apply the Pen Tool (P). The fir tree’s contours may be corrected with the usual Convert Point Tool.

Next we’ll make a highlight on the top, using the Ellipse Tool (U). The color in this case should be white.

Press Alt button and make a mouse’s click between the highlight’s layer and the tree’s top layer (on the layers’ panel). The highlight will be applied this way in the limits of the top’s element. The layer’s parameters: Fill 40%

Create now the next layer belonging to the fir tree, selecting the Pen Tool (P) and Convert Point Tool.

The layer’s parameters: Blending Options>Gradient Overlay

Gradient’s parameters:

Choosing the last instrument, Pen Tool (P), try to make the next layer, reserved for the fir tree. Its contours may be corrected with the well-known instrument already – Convert Point Tool. The color is #7495C0

Using the same instruments, Pen Tool (P) and Convert Point Tool, try to make the next layer of the tree, colored with #253825.

Select also the Pen Tool (P) to make the next layer, belonging to our fir tree.

The layer’s parameters: Blending Options>Gradient Overlay

Gradient’s parameters:

Use the last described method to make one more layer, reserved for the fir tree.

The layer’s parameters: Blending Options>Gradient Overlay

Gradient’s parameters:

The next layer should be done, applying the same method, but the layer should have the next color: #253825

Pass to representing the next layer:
