View of Rome

Prepare a toned canvas with a neutral color.

Lightly sketch the main shapes: horizon line, buildings, and tree masses.

Block in the sky with a gradient from light blue at the top to a warmer tone near the horizon.

Establish the distant hills and buildings with muted colors, paying attention to atmospheric perspective.

Paint the middle ground trees and buildings, adding more detail and color variation.

Add the foreground details, such as the wall and any reflections in the water.

Refine the details and adjust values to create depth and harmony.

Add final highlights and shadows to enhance the form of the buildings and trees.
