View on Bleechingground in Vriesepoort

Lightly sketch the main shapes: windmill, buildings, trees, and water.

Establish the horizon line and the basic perspective of the buildings.

Apply a light wash of diluted warm browns and yellows for the sky and distant areas.

Add a slightly darker wash for the buildings and windmill, defining their forms.

Use a fine brush to add details to the trees, fences, and figures with darker browns and greens.

Create reflections in the water using horizontal strokes and slightly darker values of the surrounding colors.

Add highlights with a very light wash or dry brush technique to suggest sunlight.

Refine details and add final touches, such as shadows and textures.
