Step 10: Repeat steps 7 to 9 for your foreground trees. Paint the trunks last using a combination of burnt sienna, a little mars black, and a little phthalo blue. Add titanium white and yellow ochre for the highlights of the trunk.

Step 11: Using all the mixtures for your trees, and some yellow ochre, dab different sides of your paintbrush randomly and start texturizing the grass. You may refine this later once you've covered the required area to further give texture and depth to the grass. You will need to use a mixture of burnt sienna and mars black to go over the shadowed areas of your first layer, the burnt sienna layer.

Step 12: Add your additional foreground elements. Horses, cows, birds, etc.
In this case I chose horses.

Step 13: Add finishing touches. If you'd like to add wildflowers to your pastoral scene, make little semitransparent dabs of white, yellow, and yellow ochre.
