Using a dark of French ultramarine blue and burnt sienna I painted in the tree trunks, keeping the background trees lighter with less detail than the foreground ones slightly darker and adding more branches.
With a pale mixture of French ultramarine blue and raw sienna I put in the leaves on the background trees and gradually darkened the leaf colour as I put in the closer trees.
Using clear water I lifted two birch tree trunks and added their markings with the tree trunk colour.
Lastly I put in the grasses into the foreground.
