Pm drawing. Remember to spend time on drawing and keep it as clean as possible. The more accurate the drawing the easier the painting will be !! Try to not have tree in front of barn too central!

Mask trees ans fallen leaves. 

Start with sky then put first layer on middle ground trees and then grass adding sienna while green is still wet. I put some salt in foreground to add organic texture.

First layer of barn, after wash laid in use damp flat brush to add vertical implication of barn boards.

Next I added some detail to middle ground trees and added evergreen on right.

Begin to add shadows on side of barn. Diffuse edges on roof and back.

Begin to add shadows on ground.

Second layer on shadows because they dried too light.
