Landscape of Eichenau

Lightly sketch the basic shapes of the buildings and the horizon line using a pencil.

Apply a light wash of diluted blue and gray to the sky area.

Using a larger brush, apply washes of diluted colors (blue, brown, yellow) to the buildings, allowing the colors to blend and bleed into each other.

While the washes are still damp, drop in darker pigments to create shadows and depth.

Use a fine brush or pen to add expressive line work to define the edges of the buildings and add details.

Add darker washes to the foreground to ground the composition.

Allow the painting to dry completely.

Evaluate and add final touches as needed.
