STEP ONE
You can first start by doing a light cobalt blue wash over the canvas. In this instance I haven’t used the wash. Secondly start by constructing a grid which will help you accurately draw the landscape scene. Try to minimise the grid as much as possible, as the more square the more complex the drawing becomes, the more errors can be made. Typical landscape scenes without buildings or structures do not require intensive grids. Once the canvas has been broken into grids, draw the prominent features of the background, middle ground and foreground.
