Using oils Summer. Worked the painting from back to front using the darks and brights (esspecially the bright blue) and lights to block in the background. I did this so I had the light source in the picture before I did any tree detail. Then blocked in the trunks and larger branches then started dark to light leaves becomming more detailed as they got lighter. Last a little touch of bright to hit the sun where it escaped through the trees. Thats my way but I am sure artists with heaps more experience than me could tell a whole new way of approach!!!
