Olive Trees with Yellow Sky and Sun

Begin with a light pencil sketch mapping out the olive tree placement and mountain silhouettes

Block in the sky using swirling directional strokes with cadmium yellow and white mixture

Paint the sun as a focal point with thick impasto technique using pure cadmium yellow

Establish the mountains using ultramarine blue mixed with white in vertical strokes

Paint olive tree foliage using viridian green with varied tonal mixtures and curved strokes

Add tree trunks and branches with burnt sienna and raw umber using bold linear strokes

Build up the ground plane with ochre and orange mixtures using horizontal directional marks

Add final details and highlights, emphasizing the rhythmic quality of brushstrokes throughout
