Landscape with The Flight into Egypt

Begin with a light sketch outlining the major shapes: sky, mountains, trees, and the figure group.

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

Block in the sky with a gradient from lighter at the horizon to darker blue above.

Paint the distant mountains with muted blues and grays to create atmospheric perspective.

Add the dark masses of the trees, paying attention to the shapes and textures.

Paint the figure group, starting with the underpainting and gradually building up the details.

Add the details of the foreground, including the well, plants, and other elements.

Refine the details and add highlights to create a sense of depth and realism.
