Amanecer desde punta Brisas

Lightly sketch the horizon line and the basic shapes of the hills and palm tree.

Establish the sky color with a thin wash of yellow and ochre, leaving some areas lighter for the sun.

Block in the distant hills with a darker shade of ochre and brown, blending the edges.

Paint the foreground vegetation with loose, gestural brushstrokes, varying the tones of brown and ochre.

Add the palm tree trunk with a thin, vertical line of brown, and suggest the fronds with quick, broken strokes.

Refine the sky and foreground, adding subtle variations in color and value to create depth.

Add final details, such as highlights on the vegetation and subtle variations in the sky.

Let dry and add a thin glaze of burnt umber to unify the painting.
