Hi, I'm Gerald, and welcome to this hillside landscape. This painting will go through a simple four stage process. In stage one, I'm going to tint the canvas with a light orange, then outline the composition, and then blocking the dark areas and the mid tones working into the foreground, then on to stage two, which is filling in the sky and will include some clouds in that as well. And then on to stage three, which is establishing where the sunlight falls on this landscape. Because the sunlight the direction of the sunlight is coming from the right. So then we'll continue with our mid tones working forward.

Then on to stage four. Finally adding the highlights and the details. Here we go.
