Stapleton Park near Pontefract Sun

Begin with a light sketch outlining the main shapes: the path, trees, wall, and figure.

Establish the overall color harmony by applying a thin wash of warm yellow and brown tones across the canvas.

Block in the major areas of color: the red-brown path, the green foliage, the gray-brown wall, and the yellow-tinged sky.

Develop the atmospheric perspective by gradually lightening and desaturating the colors of the trees in the background.

Add details to the trees, including the bare branches and scattered leaves, using a fine brush.

Refine the textures of the path and wall with small, broken brushstrokes.

Paint the figure with simple shapes and muted colors, paying attention to the light and shadow.

Add final highlights and shadows to enhance the sense of depth and realism.
