House at the River

Lightly sketch the basic shapes: the house, the horizon line, and the river bank.

Block in the sky with a thin wash of light blue and white.

Establish the main color areas of the field using a mix of greens, browns, and yellows.

Paint the house with a base color of gray, adding subtle variations in tone.

Create the river reflection by mirroring the house and the foreground colors, softening the edges.

Add details to the field, such as the hay bale and the texture of the grass.

Refine the details of the house, including the windows and door.

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