Landscape of Athens

Lightly sketch the basic shapes of the mountains, hills, and trees.

Block in the sky with a light blue-gray mixture, blending softly.

Apply a base layer of yellow-ochre for the field, varying the tone slightly.

Add darker greens and browns to the hills to create depth and shadow.

Paint the mountains with light gray and beige tones, suggesting form with subtle shading.

Use short, broken brushstrokes to add the trees in the foreground, varying their size and shape.

Add small details to the foreground with touches of red-brown and yellow.

Review and adjust values and colors to create a harmonious composition.
