Mix some burnt umber with a touch of alizarin crimson. Using the side of the brush, paint in the foliage, leaving sky holes as before.
Add more burnt umber to darken the mix and paint in the shadow areas.
With raw sienna and a touch of burnt umber, paint in trunk and branches. Then, with burnt umber, add shadows on side of trunk to give some shape.
Using our original mix of green, apply foreground with bold fast strokes. Apply the second strokes using some burnt umber. Then add a touch of ultramarine to darken the mix, and paint in ground shadow of the tree. A simple autumn scene!
