The Grape Harvest

Sketch the basic composition, focusing on the horizon line and placement of major elements like the figures and mountains.

Divide the canvas into sections: sky, mountains, field, and foreground.

Start with the sky, applying small dots of blue, white, and a touch of pink to create a hazy effect.

Move to the mountains, using darker greens and browns, again applying dots rather than solid colors.

Work on the field, building up layers of yellow, green, and brown dots to create texture and depth.

Add the figures, using a mix of colors for their clothing and skin tones, paying attention to the light and shadow.

Paint the baskets in the foreground, using a range of browns, grays, and blues to create a sense of depth and form.

Refine the details, adding small touches of color to enhance the overall effect.
