Adelaide Hills

Lightly sketch the basic shapes of the hills and the tree, focusing on their geometric forms.

Mix a light wash of yellow ochre and apply it to the entire landscape as a base layer.

Add washes of green and brown to the hills, varying the intensity to create depth and shadow.

Use a slightly darker green to define the edges of the hills and create a sense of form.

Mix a muted blue-gray for the sky and apply it in a thin wash, leaving some areas lighter to suggest clouds.

Paint the tree trunk with a thin wash of burnt umber, adding darker tones for shadow.

Add the branches with a fine brush, using a mix of burnt umber and black.

Add final details and highlights to the hills and tree to enhance the sense of depth and form.
