The sky was washed in with pure French ultramarine blue.
While the background was still wet raw sienna was added to the sky colour and the trees were painted keeping them soft looking and unfocused.
The water was washed in with a slightly darker green and a highlight just below the tree line was lifted using clear water.
As the paper dried a darker mixture of French ultramarine blue and raw sienna was used to paint in the foreground grasses.
