Landscape painted in oils

First I used burnt umber and a little turpentine to dilute the paint and painted in my composition, you might like to fiddle with your composition a bit to make it better than the photograph that you are working from....See composition

 

Once I'd laid in a light tone for my composition I then started to go darker picking out the areas I wanted.



 

What I've done here is paint in the tones from light to dark quite loosely so now I have the completed picture before I start using colour.



 

Here I thought I would add some diagonal clouds to contrast against the diagonal slope of the hills and just roughly painted them in for now.



 

Starting to add colour now by adding a blue sky made with cerulean blue, a touch of burnt umber and white, I added greens fields using yellow ochre, ultramarine blue and a touch of burnt umber and white.

The hillside green was made up of yellow ochre, cerulean blue, burnt umber and white, cerulean blue which is cooler than ultramarine was used in the hillside so it would recede more than if I had used ultramarine.
