ANSWER TO MYSTERY TECHNIQUE #157:
You can create luminous colors with glazing! I started with a wet-in-wet mixture of Hansa Yellow Medium and Permanent Rose. After this layer dried, I added a little Cobalt Teal Blue and French Ultramarine.
I finished the sky by adding another layer of French Ultramarine. This had to dry completely before I started the mountains, painting each one in a separate layer.
To create a sense of atmospheric perspective, I let the distant mountains fade into the sky and used darker values and more texture in the closer mountains.
