Step 1

I put in my darkest "darks," which were the trees on the right and various dark shadows.

Step 2

I then added the local color of the grass on each side of the road in the foreground.

Step 3

Next, I added the local color and value of the trees on the left side of the road.

Step 4

I added the distant grass, trees, and hills along with the final touches, such as the telephone poles and the house.
