At this stage I’ve used slightly thicker paint and tried to get a greater range of tone and colour, but there is nothing that looks like a cloud or a windmill or trees or distant buildings and no sense of the setting sun.

I’ve kept the colours pretty simple: white, the usual group of earth colours (burnt umber, burnt sienna, yellow ochre), together with French ultramarine, cadmium yellow and a tint bit of cadmium red. This is more than enough to mix anything I might want.
