Road in the Wood

Sketch the basic composition, focusing on the placement of the trees, path, and figure.

Establish the sky with broad strokes of gray and white, blending for soft clouds.

Block in the dark masses of the trees using a mix of dark greens and browns.

Add lighter greens and yellows to the foliage to suggest sunlight.

Paint the path with varying shades of brown and gray, indicating texture and depth.

Add the figure with simple shapes and colors, paying attention to its scale.

Refine the details of the trees, adding branches and leaves with smaller brushstrokes.

Adjust the values and colors throughout the painting to create a sense of atmosphere and unity.
