Cattle and Sheep in Pasture

Sketch the basic composition, focusing on the placement of the cows, sheep, and trees.

Establish the horizon line and the overall perspective of the landscape.

Block in the sky with light blue and white, blending smoothly.

Lay in the base colors for the grass, varying the greens and yellows to create depth.

Paint the trees, starting with the trunks and branches, then adding foliage with varied greens and browns.

Add the cows and sheep, paying attention to their anatomy and proportions. Use light and shadow to create form.

Refine the details, such as the texture of the grass, the leaves on the trees, and the fur of the animals.

Add final highlights and shadows to enhance the realism of the painting.
