  2. Texture: Introduce texture by adding various shades lightly with a dry brush technique.

4. Foreground Flowers

  1. Green Stems and Leaves: Paint the stems and leaves using darker greens. Use a detail brush for fine lines.
  2. Sea Asters: Apply white and light yellow for the petals. Add layers for depth and highlight the sunlight's effect.

5. Final Touches

  1. Details and Highlights: Add final highlights and shadows to enhance realism. Pay attention to light sources.
  2. Adjustments: Step back and make any necessary adjustments to balance colors and composition.
